Fomo Quotes

“Americans aren't stupid. We are, however, preternaturally disposed to herd behavior (FOMO), with a strong desire to preserve a sense of individuality and maintain control over our decision making. We're joiners and don't want to be left out of fads; we're also fiercely independent and don't want to be told what to do.”

“Hope and fear come from feeling that we lack something; they come from a sense of poverty. We can’t simply relax with ourselves. We hold on to hope, and hope robs us of the present moment. We feel that someone else knows what's going on, but that there's something missing in us, and therefore something is lacking in our world.”

“The 5 Principles of JOMO: 1. JOMO is the opposite of FOMO (the Fear Of Missing Out). 2. JOMO is intentionally choosing what to keep and what to give. 3. JOMO is choosing to ignore the Joneses (NOT just NOT keep up). 4. JOMO is framing the moment to keep the big picture dream in focus. 5. JOMO is the art of improved results with minimalism over maximalism.”

“We live in the society of the capitalist spectacle, mate, the more spectacular the better. Build it and they will come, as that old baseball movie says. We worship the event, the occasion, the unmissable show. We want Super Sunday, the Thriller in Manila, the showdown of the century…the things that bring the highest profits for the capitalist organisers. If you’re not at the event, you’re nobody. Life has passed you by. That’s the tyranny of the spectacle. Yet, if you think about it, the spectacle is the biggest joke of all – because all the people at the event are desperate not to be losers. Who wants to be in a collection of people fleeing from fear of failure? Losers and the spectacle go together, the winners performing and the losers watching. The spectacle is how losers numb the pain, how they crave to be part of something, on the winning side for once. The LLN have decided to harness the society of the spectacle too, but not the capitalist version where small groups perform to large groups and get paid a fortune. Instead, the LLN offer the spectacle of life. And Revolution is the greatest spectacle of all.”

“If you thought sensuality is all about sex, I hope that you’ll find a deeper meaning than that. To be honest, when it comes to sensuality, I have FOMO. You can’t cheat me with cheap sex. I want the whole freakin’ heaven to open up. How the hell have we settled for sex instead of heaven. Sex will only take you so far. But sensuality will take you places you’ve never been. Only God knows where. I love that I’ve mentioned God. Most people try everything they can to take Him out of it. To hell with that, I want God in my sex.”
