It takes a long time to adapt to these kinds of disruptions, to socially evolve.
And I think you can make an argument that we haven't fully evolved to embrace the printing press yet.
The printing press.
And in our lifetime,
how many of printing press level advancements technologically have happened.
No one's ever lived through more disruptions than the people on the planet right now.
And you see what's happening.
There's been great reporting, even done this in the last week, about the political gap between male and female.
huge changes in attention span, the changes in the nature of tribalism that now we have more in common with strangers who have no geographical connection to us than we do with our neighbors.
If your kid's on their bike and they get hit by a car, your Facebook friends aren't going to do shit.
You need your neighbor to come out of their house when they hear the noise and call emergency services and provide CPR.
It's the people who are around us that are the people who should be the most important in our lives.
And social media, for the first time in all of history, has disrupted that.
And what it's doing to children, again, great reporting this week on what's happened just since computers became ubiquitous in classrooms.
And we've gone so far past computers being ubiquitous in classrooms.
There's a computer in every child's pocket.
We talked briefly about pornography.
And you said you don't believe it should be banned, but that, obviously, people use too much pornography.
We could have an argument as to whether or not pornography should be banned, obviously.
But I will say that there are some things that people can't self-regulate about.
