And they're like, we don't know what to do. And I'm like, figure it out. And then boredom, I explain to them, equals creativity. You have to be bored, your mind clears, and then you come up with a great creative idea. Now they're writing movies, they're writing stories, they're making books, they're writing songs. Like they literally will complain.

It's like you mentioned Skinner, when you extinguish a behavior, like an addiction to devices, the bad behavior spikes. They scream, they cry, and then boom, it drops down to zero. And you're fine. You just have to weather that like brief storm.

This is what kids want, by the way. Kids want to have a childhood. You asked them, you polled the students and they told you, we don't want to be addicted to the stuff. That's like, if you were to ask Philip Seymour Hoffman, you want to be addicted to heroin? Did you wish heroin was never existed? He'd be like, yeah, I'm dead. Of course I wish heroin didn't exist.

This thing's ruined my life. That was a poll. They know they're on heroin. What'd you say, Rupert? That was a poll. I'm thinking about New York and just, I mean, I used to work out in the same gym as in Chelsea Piers. And every time I see Philip Seymour Hoffman in like the master or long came Polly, I just think this is what we're doing to our kids.

They get addicted to these things and then fentanyl and like- Talented Mr. Ripley, wasn't he? Just so many great artists gone. And I think that's what's happening to these kids' brains. I think their brains are being melted in all their creativity, their ability to learn an instrument, to interact with each other. We're stealing their childhoods and replacing them with Zuckerberg's payday.

They get really socially weird. They can't make eye contact. They can't have a conversation. And then they become young adults. They don't know how to go on a date. They don't know how to talk to adults.
