yeah, i think jonathan haidt is doing us a service. did i listen to the interview yesterday.cially when he says he doesn't think children should be on social media under the age of 18. he says i want to compromise. put it at 16. but 18 is really the proper formation of their brains. and i dare say their consciousness and their souls. i think that is the thing everybody is missing here. like, you have -- you can layer technical solutions. can you layer legislative solutions but we need to think about what this is actually doing to the consciences of children before they are properly formed. that is critical here. especially for parents who are concerned about, you know, not just this life but the after life. it's important. >> steve: you are absolutely right. here's the thing. i don't trust big tech. big tech has been called on capitol hill a million times. oh, yeah, we are going to take care of it. they never do anything. a couple of the things that he said yesterday, kara, no smart phones before high school. no social media before 16. and no phones in school. after we talked

i mean, jonathan haidt, who's cite in the book as a sociologist he has a book coming out about mental health distress. his thesis is the smartphone in 2012 getting put in the hands of children is the key moment in the decline of kid's mental health. but do you do you have a timeline i know you think the smartphone is part of it but what you're describing i'm sure is shocking to a lot of people. my daughter's 28. the idea that as an eight year old should be asked these of questions is appalling to me. what how did this sweep across the country and enter schools and become this bad therapy become standard fare. i so i completely agree with know the idea that social media is very very bad for kids and absolutely was a major factor in the decline of adolescent mental health. there's no question in my mind that's true. and last book was about a particular contagion. the trans idea of a trans identity and gender dysphoria being spread through largely through social media. but things in a society aren't usually, you know, you know, vector and and and and single factor and i think this is ano

and this is jonathan haidt, who has written a lot of interesting books.xious generation, claiming there's a link between young people being on social media and how depressed they are, and other people are saying no in fact, you should look at other metrics like suicide . but other metrics like suicide. but he's saying, well, no, suicide is so rare amongst this age group that it's not useful and so on. it's kind of going back and forth. common sense tells you it's not great for kids to be on apps all the time, and on phones all the time, and when they should be out running around. we all instinctively know that, but it's hard to prove. >> i think the thing and where he's come a cropper possibly on this, although i can understand why he's used the terms, is by saying rewiring and he has doubled down on that. it does suggest that he means that it literally changes the blood flow and neurology of the brain. and they're saying there is no evidence in fmri scans or whatever, that this has happened and that, yeah, by overstepping , and that, yeah, by oversteppin
