I don't need a fucking study to show me that. I've seen it firsthand in my own son, what it looks like when that's in his life and when it's not in his life, and it's obvious. I can observe things. I'm capable of that. Google it right now.
Google video games and ADHD, and what they do say is that kids that have ADHD are more likely to potentially get addicted to video games, but not that video game playing and screen time has any sort of... Any sort of correlation to.

So imagine, imagine that. And then, okay. Anybody who is seeing Cocoa Melon or, or watched, you know, any sort of name, the Mario Brothers video game, whatever, any of those things. and the amount of lights and movement and screen cutting. It is. It sucks the brain in.

And so you have a classroom that sits the little boy down all fucking day long where he's not moving but twice a day for 15 minutes or 30 minutes for recess. And he's having to keep his attention up. Then he gets home and he's in front of these YouTube channels that are screen cutting like crazy. So his brain's firing a million times a mile faster while his body is sitting still all day long.

Well, and back to my point. And then I think that's exacerbated when the tech they're getting is feeding that dopamine hit so fast, so hard all the time.

Maybe there's not a direct correlation between the diagnosis of ADHD and video games, but you cannot tell me that allowing kids to be on YouTube and allowing kids to be watching things like Cocomelon, to be doing things like... like that and then on non-stop screen time and then put them in a school setting and then not think that that's not making it worse is crazy.
