Well, you're so right about the gap being filled.

And it's interesting you say, you know, both parents and education, but both of you make this point, have sort of stepped back from their responsibility.

If you think about it, like as a parent, I can tell you my first thought is I have to prepare this child for the world.

Yeah.

That means I have to, to the best of my ability, which is limited, and my wife's ability, which is limited, give them an understanding of how the world actually works and how you can operate in that world with maximum happiness, effectiveness, whatever it is that I'm optimizing for, right?

That inevitably means...

giving guidance in a way that it's going to be received.

Yeah.

Right.

So there's a balance.

In the past, people would push so hard on their kids.

There's a balance to be struck there.

But this voluntary abandonment of parental and adult responsibility combined then with this super powerful technology just seems to have created a complete disaster.

Well, that's actually great advice.

Going out to go for a walk solves 99% of your problems, basically.

It comes back to the point that Francis made.

And I know that you focus very heavily on the corporate exploitation of all this stuff.

And I agree with you that companies will exploit all this stuff.

But I also think in a way, a lot of it is just filling a void that exists because of what society has become.
