Dr. Robert Lustig

Several of them have committed suicide.

They've probably read the book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt.

And, you know, this has sort of come to the fore.

I hope I have helped, you know, communicate these things as well.

And yes, some of them are turning their backs on it because, in fact, social media is anti-social media.

And when they realize it,

They want no part of it.

Some people are doing dopamine detoxes.

They're locking themselves up in a room for three weeks at a time to get their dopamine receptors back so they can feel something.

There are all sorts of things that people are doing in an attempt to try to mitigate the damage caused by our current modern environment on their own amygdala.

And I'm for that.

The question is, why can't we fix the environment so that people don't have to?

No, not a bit.

It's about the message, not the messenger.

I don't care what they know about me.

I just assume be anonymous.

I have zero interest in being a celebrity, being an influencer.

Basically, I just want to be left alone to do my job.

And unfortunately my job is, you know, to educate the public.

So, you know, people sort of need the face to go with the message, which is unfortunate for me.
