Acharya Prashant addresses the modern trend of 'vibe culture' on social media, where catchy music and poetic quotes encourage people to live solely according to their own whims and personal happiness. He explains that while the idea of not living according to others' dictates is a good starting point, it is fundamentally incomplete and dangerous. In the past, slavery was external and explicit, but today, slavery is internal and hidden. Legal protections exist against external coercion, but individuals have become slaves to their own egos and internal conditioning. This internal slavery is more dangerous because it feels like free will, yet it is often driven by external manipulation, such as consumerism and social conditioning.
