Normally, appropriately, then we pay attention to the right cues.
It's typical when I'm looking at you when you're talking to look at your eyes, not look at your mouth.
But there are a number of people who will be more interested in the movement of the mouth because it's larger than the eye movements.
And that's a less effective way to look, is to look at the mouth instead of looking at the eyes.
These are very subtle things, but some of the microaggressions, microgestures that are critical.
not just in our culture but in monkeys where gritting your teeth might mean one thing and winking or looking away might mean another thing.
We want our children to pick those things up and know about how to interact with humans.
On the flip side, social media and online culture is part of our culture now too.
And so depriving them of that and having them be โ
blocked, deprived of what their culture now is.
This also seemed harmful.
So for me and my wife, thinking about, I don't want them to know nothing about the internet, but I don't want them to jump in with both feet and have all of their experiences.
So what proportion is that?
You know, 20% of your day on the internet?
That seems reasonable, maybe.
Many people are at 80, 90% sometimes.
I think it might be better to be at 5% only when you're needing it to reach out or do things.
But I don't know the answer to that.
We're doing this big experiment.
But we've done these experiments before.
