Very surprised that you or anyone thinks 60 minutes each day is "a long time!"
I agree that anything past 15 minutes undeniably unhealthy. But large masses of people are very commonly online for hours upon hours. And all along and alongside there's TV.
So this 60 minutes seems very out of touch.

- apsurd 2y agoI'm speaking toward empathy perhaps. I agree that values shouldn't be relative to some lowest common denominator. > It is insane that someone thinks… This is overly critical. Social media is an addiction. We're an a new epidemic and we have to assess how to respond. We should be discussing treatments in a similar vein of drug rehabilitation. So I think shooting for your kids to only get 15 minutes is the right value, but very tricky and risky in how one gets there.
- Eumenes 2y ago> We should be discussing treatments in a similar vein of drug rehabilitation. Have you been through a drug addiction? I have. I wouldn't compare having an account on a social media platform to being addicted to hardcore drugs. It doesn't make you sound very smart.
- apsurd 2y agoOnline account is not the same as being addicted to hardcore drugs. You made that up just now. Social media is addictive, like a drug addiction. And there's a spectrum to it.
