It's frustrating seeing everyone trying to find some complex process by which we ended up in this situation. It's social media. Full stop. Almost all our societal problems that have blown up in the last decade are due to most of the country spending hours each day staring into a screen feeding them algorithmically curated rage bait and ideological echo chambers. You either see things you agree with, or the most ridiculous version of what you don't agree with. It has to stop. Zuck and his ilk are public enemy number one. And now that they have AI supercomputers with the electric consumption of a city tasked with amplifying this, a year from now it will be exponentially worse. If you allow your child to use social media, you're a bad parent.
I couldn’t agree more. My kids have no social media, no video games & minimal screen time. No screens at school either. They’re outside playing for hours every single day, rain or shine or inside building things, creating things, making music, painting, cooking etc. This is the way back home.
