I say do nothing and let the chips fall where they may. There's no big tech solution to this insanity. People born today will fall into 1 of 2 categories:
1. Those whose parents gave them phones as children
2. Those whose parents did not give them phones as children
The former group will become fragile, suicidal narcissists who can't cope with or navigate the external world. They'll have soon-to-be trite problems like gender dysphoria and agoraphobia and will mistakenly think this makes them interesting or constitutes a personality. The later group will grow up as ordinary people by objective standards, but against the backdrop of the first group they will seem like they have superpowers - the Joe Bauerses of tomorrow so to speak.
The internet and social media ruin all minds, but especially the child's mind. Hopefully once these two groups are well articulated and obvious to all, parents will start to make better decisions.
- freeflight 5y agoThere are more than just these two categories, there are also parents who give their children phones and then heavily regulate usage with third-party tools.
