So to me, in that sense, it's not confusing at all.

I don't think it's mysterious.

I also think part of it is that when I was younger and when I think the rest of us were younger, we looked up to maybe our parents or other professions because I think professions used to interact with the material world a lot more.

Like you could imagine, for example, if someone was whatever, a farmer or worked in a factory or worked as a carpenter or this or that, people used to have more jobs like that.

Whereas now, so much of work is done just behind a computer.

So it's not really appealing.

It's not inspiring.

Yeah, it's not super appealing for kids.

And I know the way they actually did this study was by having kids draw the profession that they were interested in doing.

It's very hard to draw most modern professions beyond literally just someone hunched over a computer with their head in their hands and frying their eyes out.

So, you know, I certainly, I sympathize with the kids.

And I think as, you know, Donika made the point, the worry really is more, it's more broad with social media.

I don't think it's really worrisome.

The kids want to be influencers.

Kids have always wanted to be kind of famous and these kind of things.

But what is worrying is that

social media is so unregulated.

And I think it has the potential to become so toxic and so hazardous for the people who use it.

And I think that's a bigger concern.
