Ep. 14 EVERYONE is Copying YOU…but Art was Made to be Imitated | SpongeBob and Seven Deadly Sins

Individuality Is Fleeting — And Everyone Is Copying You

In a world driven by algorithms, trends, and instant validation, true individuality feels rarer than ever. From creative arts and intellectual property to social media fame and manufactured identities, we’re living in an era where inspiration, imitation, and outright copying are constantly blurred.

This video explores why it feels like everyone is copying you, why art has always been meant to be imitated, and how social media rewards conformity over originality. We break down the psychology behind creativity, ego, laziness, envy, fear of judgment, and the pressure to stay inside the boxes society and algorithms create for us.

This SpongeBob SquarePants with the Seven Deadly Sins parody shows:
-How social media shapes identity and behavior before we even realize it
-Why shortcuts and manufactured fame are replacing long-term creative mastery
-The fear of judgment in a voluntary surveillance culture
-How envy, pride, and ego silently kill creativity
-Why nothing is truly “new,” yet your perspective still matters

Thanks to @nowherelad for the inspiration, check out their stuff!

And of course Pharrell

-If you’re a creator, artist, thinker, or simply someone trying to understand themselves in a world obsessed with trends, this video is an invitation to create like no one is watching, stop fearing stolen ideas, and reconnect with what makes you you.

Be you, not the label.

Create to inspire, not to compete.

Keep it here, and keep it simple.
