Burnout, right?

So the good news is all of this is avoidable.

We just need to update our understanding of how the nervous system works.

I think the newer generations are our biggest example of what we've done wrong and what we need to fix.

So I don't know if you've seen, have you seen the testimony, the congressional testimony of that psychologist from Harvard who talked about how Gen Z is the first generation in history that has been found to score lower on standardized tests of cognition and learning and math?

Wow.

than the previous generation.

I didn't see that, but I'm not surprised, actually.

So this so this is really important to talk about because we have been on a pattern in human society in terms of even as many flaws as people find with our education system.

Up until Gen Z, we were on a consistent pattern of

continuing to improve the cognitive abilities of humans every single generation.

This means math skills, language skills, reasoning skills, right?

Some of the core skills that are required for thinking and existing as a functional human being.

These skills are

arguably some of the most important skills taught in school.

And so schools were designed to teach these skills.

And so over every generation, we've seen a continuous improvement in the scores on tests of those skills until Gen Z.

What happened with Gen Z?

We introduced smartphones and we introduced smartphones to Gen Z often when they were very young.

And so they learned and they were integrated into schools for many Gen Z kids.
