it's interesting how many of the best unintentional asmr videos feature older people, I wonder if asmr is in part a reaction against a trend towards higher energy & higher anxiety communication

was thinking about how hard it was to watch vids about video games for example without subjecting myself to some Poochy-face ironic shouter for hours on end

The first episode is very good, but that second one is indeed especially wonderful. Thanks to a pal on thee dreaded fb for originally sharing it a few days ago. I've never encountered Purim before, so those parts are particularly fascinating, without interrupting the relaxing zen vibe.

A philosopher reflects on ASMR.

The ASMR videos I most enjoy are intimacy porn. They elicit the pleasures of intimacy without the difficulties and burdens characteristic of its genuine instances—in short, those associated with the presence of another vulnerable, hungering person.
this articulates my experience

This one is all time even though it’s very off the cuff. Doesn’t hurt that he’s a handsome guy who speaks my language but his hand gestures put it over the top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxF4-nOJrJ4
