    “TV is bad for your eyes! You kids don’t go out and play anymore!”

    “Video games are making you violent! You kids don’t go out any play anymore!”

    “Phones are addictive! You kids don’t go out and play anymore!”

    I assume you’re most likely under 80, so one of those three was said about you when you were a child.

    Edit: If you are over 80, they said it about you listening to the radio.

      If you can’t disambiguate between culture-war fear-mongering and the actual prerequisites for human flourishing, you are as fucked in the head as any lead-addled boomer.

        Which one of those is an actual prerequisite for human flourishing? Radio, TV, video games or phones? And which ones do you refuse to use because they are stopping you from flourishing? Apparently you’re okay with the internet.

          I accused you of being unable to identify aspects of human flourishing, and you’ve now replied to confirm that for me.
