How Smartphones Are Hurting Our Kids’ Mental Health: ‘There’s Massive Evidence of Harm‘ (Exclusive)
There is no science behind the claims in this article (and the book).
A scientists review
Not that this'll stop people from buying into the false narrative and buying the book.
Massive evidence: authors' feelings.
Science: none
Then why are we upvoting these shitty articles?
The irony of this comment is just incredible. These are Trump-supporter levels of cope.
For anyone not brain-dead: the scientific evidence that excessive exposure to social media garbage and “doom scrolling” is bad for you and especially bad for children is completely overwhelming. It’s something we’ve known for years. Jonathan Haidt is a douchebag who picks low hanging fruit.
Damn, I wonder how that happened in these intervening years to radicalize young men.
Facebook gets politically involved, and in just 8 short years:
Does this mean we can’t have social media? No, it just means the way we are living, the hellscape of online abuse and concrete jungle we’ve created for the next generation is making us vulnerable to manipulation and misery. This isn’t about social media. It’s about the fact that most of you fuckers haven’t touched grass in years. That’s why our democracy is dying.
Ah yes, we need special scientific evidence to figure out if playing outside with friends, fresh air and sunshine is better or worse than watching TikTok 5 hours a day.
Please, let’s do a study on this mystery.
Jonathan Haidt is an idiot so I assume the book is bad, but this Nature article you linked is quite possibly even worse.
The amount of misinformation around this serious topic is a reflection of people’s emotional attachment to their silly tech.
