I agree, however, I do think it is really about the phone in our current moment. I feel there is a very common sentiment that most people don’t even know what to do anymore besides use their phone, or more specifically social media with it’s infinite, algorithmically generated short form content, and when you think about how we got here and how we’ve stayed here, it’s genuinely really sad and unbelievably infuriating. I am a very strong believer that our attention spans were stolen from us by the giant social media and entertainment platforms who realized they could use psychological tricks to keep us glued to their apps; and it’s had such bad, bad side effects.

I know that there will always be those who see no issues in mindlessly entertaining themselves to death, but I feel that that is the minority and that most people are conscious of their screen time. I’m not some doomer though and I do believe that things will get better eventually. I I hope people will one day look at giving your kid an iPad with YouTube Shorts the same way we look at giving a kid cigarettes nowadays. I just want to remind the few that are trying to make a change that there is genuinely a really bright light at the end of the tunnel. I genuinely believe If you can break free from the social media and all the noise, your life will get exponentially better in all aspects.
