Episode 184: What is ASMR?

  • SCENARIO #1:
    Cameron is an ASMR video artist that creates clinical role-playing videos where she gives pretend gynecological exams while whispering sweet nothings into a highly sensitive microphone. She has thousands of subscribers, but is wondering if she should stop playing doctor on the videos since she is not a real life doctor. Should she quit doing these role-playing videos or continue since she has so many fans?

  • SCENARIO #2:
    Moshe really enjoys the sounds of fingernails mixed with the loud sound of raindrops hitting windows. Viola told him that is a strange way to spend time and he should meditate instead to get the same experience. Should Moshe stop listening to his ASMR custom playlist and just meditate instead?

  • SCENARIO #3:
    Wim on a whim scanned through hundreds of ASMR videos. He had no reaction to any of the videos, instead becoming bored trying to get through all the content. Is it reasonable for Wim to not believe ASMR is real since he has not experienced it after hours of trying?
