    What about we introduce more control from teachers and parents about what devices kids have access to, and give them some supervision too while we’re at it?

      I propose we take all parents, line them up, and start slapping them in the face until they stop being so fucking stupid.

      Alternatively, and more realistically, we accept that gen z and gen alpha are just lost causes and massively invest in schools so maybe in a couple of generations we can break the cycle of stupidity.

        Lol as if these generations are doing anything different than they were doing before. Kids have always lied about their age to do adult things. Not saying it’s healthy, just like it wasn’t healthy for kids to get their older brother to buy cigs, but it’s not a unique problem and these generations are far from a “lost cause”.

          I care less about whether kids are doing stupid things to their bodies. It’s a problem when they do, of course. But when their sheer intellectual capacity is permanently crippled, that’s a much worse thing for society.
