They need to be more disciplined.

They need to set limits.

And when you reframe this and you say, actually, social media is a pollutant, it's like some company manufacturing cigarettes or asbestos or lead.

When you reframe it that way, it's what you said is this is a pollutant driving society, that it is making society depressed, anxious, lose focus, having all sorts of negative psychological and physiological implications.

when you reframe it that way, it changes the blame from the individual to like, you can't reasonably expect people to want to be part of the tribe, to want to be part of a friend group, and then put them in a system like the, it's like lead in pipes.

Water is in the pipes, but also lead is too.

So it's like, you can't, the solution is not to tell people to get off the phone.

You have to do some kind of filtering or something because it's poisonous right now.

The unit feels like is in physics, there's this idea like a phase transition.

So when water is at 99 degrees Celsius, it's a solid.

When it's 101, it's a vapor.

So just a very small change.

It's not gradual, just snaps.

That's a phase transition.

It feels to me like social media is heading towards a phase transition where there's like all this built up,

All these built up problems that are over, like about to go from 99 C to 101 C and it just snaps.

And society is like, we can't.

Right.

We can't do it anymore.

Like it's too much.
