I teach high school, so am on the front lines of this.

I am working towards removing all electronics from the classroom. The ear buds and the watches are just as bad as cell phones.

It would be great if the schools stopped forcing iPads on the kids, especially starting in elementary school. Our district gives every kid their very own iPad, full time, and all homework is on the iPad starting in middle school. And parents get zero control of the Apps on said iPad.

Toxicity is a huge part of this. Particularly mercury.

I have enjoyed Haidt numerous times, and shared what he has to say. This understanding contributes to looking at a much larger picture of not being in our world and offline enough. I have wondered why we don't have as much in community, or town halls, if you felt the government warranted a general redress, starting at the grassroots, building communities, and expanding to a national network, as written most recenty: https://markgmeyers.substack.com/p/complete-introduction-to-building

I digress. I think for modern man, there is a loss on the right side of the brain, in the experience of life, and a heavy burden of new knowledge and structure (on paper) on the left. That structure is a corporate and NGO world that is not the structure of my government; it's just more modern load.

I really like Haidt. It stings a bit that to him centrist on right mostly means neocons like the dispatch crew but he still does great work.

What a load of codswallop! Haidt as per usual offers no substantive data to back his assertions preferring instead to play on the fears of parents such as Taibbi.

This twisted do as I say not as I do attitude towards children has become a popular meme among zionists trying to beat up the censorship of tik toc.

Last year Taibbi was all wound up about his children learning that amerika was built upon slavery and the slaughter of its indigenous population, now knee jerk zionist that he is Taibbi appears frightened his children may learn things such as the so-called rescue operation conducted in a refugee camp resulted in the slaughter of 3 other hostages including an amerikan citizen.

Plus the slaughter by amerikans & israeli forces of at least 210 to 270 palestinians the vast majority of whom were women & children - see https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-rescues-four-captives-gaza-special-operation or https://thecradle.co/articles/us-army-aided-israel-in-bloody-military-op-launched-from-gaza-aid-pier

Footage put online by an israeli soldier revealed that the murderous attack was from a helicopter located within the amerikan security zone set up ostensibly to deliver 'aid' to Palestinian refugees.

Instead aid trucks were loaded with special forces by the pier and driven into a camp for those driven out of their homes in the 1948 Nakba before the doors flew open and these 'brave' soldiers butchered women & children as well as three prisoners of war all of whom were serving IDF soldiers.

If you read Haidt's books, they are full of substantive details. Or listen to him on long-form podcasts.

One more time -- get a different narrator. "Jared Moore" sounds like an AI. I'm sorry, but is it really that hard to find someone human to make a 15-minute recording?
