I think we have gotten so good at creating those feedback loops that bring people back and plenty of people have written about this and talked about this. And this was one area where not intentionally, but Reddit was designed differently because it wasn't about real name and it wasn't about real photos and it wasn't about, hey, follow me, let me collect likes.

It was about, hey, we all like this community, let's share things about it that we care about. But generally speaking, it's still a black box and I'd like to keep it as much as possible. We even had that initial conversation of why it's so important, you know, to only be playing Roblox with Papa and Mama.

If we're playing with anyone, if we're talking to anyone, it's only the people, like the three people who we know. And it's this balance where I don't...

My take is I want to expose her to just enough that she can start to build that resilience or at least start to understand like, well, this is why you don't talk to random people on the Internet while still trying to preserve some amount of innocence, which is just such an awesome part of childhood. But at the same time, making sure she's steeled for the reality of what the world is like. But.

Probably my favorite application of the internet is every night I'll ask her a big question, and some nights she really doesn't want to, she doesn't have one. And so she'll just look at something on the table and be like, okay, where does salt come from, Papa? And I'll be like, okay, I see what you did. You just looked at the salt on the table, but that's fine. We'll find out.

And we'll ask AI, usually chat GPT, and fire it up and engage in this dialogue, which probably would have been a Google query a few years ago, but now is way more interesting and engaging. And I want her to know like, hey, you will have access to these tools that your papa could have only dreamed of as a kid, that your grandpa, your great grandpa could have never even imagined.

They would have thought they were wizards. And I want you to know this is a tool. This is a resource for you to use to help you exercise. It's a bicycle of the mind, right? And it's a tool, it's not an end all be all, but it's a tool for you to use that can provide tremendous value for you. When papa doesn't know like what temperature he needs to take the ribs off the smoker,

Like he's asking this because he's looking for a solution for an answer. But whether you're curious about salt or you need some help cooking or you're just curious about the world, like I want her to start thinking of the internet as a resource, but not this, you know, end all be all for learning and for solving problems. But we'll see. Hey, I'm early in the game. I don't know.
