That's going to be the first thing they do when they pick up that machine.

I mean, we're all the same.

But now imagine, so bring that exact device now into a school.

And so how do we learn?

Learning requires deep focus and sustain.

I've now put something in front of you that you have spent thousands of hours doing nothing but addictive cycles, porn, having fun.

And now I say, OK, 40 minutes, let's learn.

It's no wonder kids make it on average about six minutes before they start going off task.

And it's just a pure training thing.

I always say, man, if you assume it takes 10,000 hours to master anything, whether or not that's accurate, who knows?

Within four years of being introduced to a screen, kids have mastered

basically messing around on it, not sitting down and learning.

And now when we bring ed tech into schools and we're like, tech will teach them how to learn, that is giving them heroin and saying, can you use this heroin to learn about weights and measures?

Well, technically you could, but I don't think anyone is actually going to do that.

You could use beer to learn about buoyancy, but an alcoholic probably isn't going to learn fluid dynamics from it.

It's the same problem with tech in schools.

That is, and it gets shorter and shorter.

We used to have at least two minutes was kind of the average interaction with tech.

That's now about 40 seconds is now the average interaction before you go to the next thing with tech.

I get in a lot of trouble when I talk about ADHD.
