Thank you.

I'm excited to be here.

You are perfect.

Absolute flawless.

No notes.

Yeah, absolutely.

So my background is in marketing.

I am not a neuroscientist.

I ask people surveys.

I'm like, on a scale of one to ten, how depressed are you?

And they say, oh, I'm pretty depressed because I'm on social media all the time, right?

But I have brought a lot of neuroscience into what I study and the things that are going on, like looking at this lens of how is social media impacting us.

And the long story short is it's not the worst thing for us, but I wouldn't say that it's the best thing.

Yeah.

Is it our fault?

Yeah, the answer is yes, and it is because of neuroscience, unfortunately.

But if we look at how our brains develop, we have given the most addictive form of anything to young children, to people maybe like our age, parents, grandparents.

Research shows us that the youngins, their brain's not fully developing until you're 25, right?

Like here in the U.S., it's like, yay, 21, I can drink now, 25, prefrontal cortex has finally developed.

But that's not actually the case we're finding.
