In the spirit of over generalizations, Tim Ferris says that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So let’s say mom and dad are gone by 6, you’re at school by 7. You get a different teacher every hour but the cohort of students in each class is substantially the same. You have soccer, gymnastics, karate, piano, etc after school and then you’re at home around 6. Dinner is a quick affair. Then it’s homework and bed. Mom and dad are spent by the time they get home and retreat to their device which is you’re queue to do likewise. Now I agree that throughout the day a kid might encounter dozens of potential mentors but when You examine time spent and substance of the encounter, it’s got to be enormously isolating to a child. Rather than five positive relationships where values are discussed and real mentoring takes place a kid basically receives empty knowledge via retail / transactional delivery. How is this anyway similar to how we grew up as kids?
