> They sold everything not truly needed, and made it happen. And I think that's the right choice in general. We know many people are too risk-averse (status quo bias, etc). That said uprooting the family and moving to a completely new place won't solve the fundamentals, and definitely won't help with "kid doesn't have friends". (Again, in general, there are obvious exceptions, eg. if kid is bullied moving to a new place at least has a change of helping with that.) > But if more people gave up on trying to live like the Jones, and just did what needs to happen for themselves, then I think that gap would disappear more and more.

Yet at the same time what life is really like is that it's full of said technology. Kids need to be prepared for that. > Or rather, really shouldn't be in, without some sort of parental supervision. I think it's already clear that ~90% of people already need some sort of supervision, both in meat and meta and other spaces. It's not about the age IMHO.
