Now any weird goal could be put into your child.

And so one weird goal is just be as big and muscular as you can.

Now, obviously that's gonna relate to deep evolutionary systems about appraising masculine.

So it's not that it's totally arbitrary, but what kids aspire to be when they hit this period of middle school and puberty is gonna be governed by prestige biased learning.

So this is one of the main reasons why I think it's so important

just raise the age for social media to 16.

Really, it should be 18.

This should be an adult-only activity, talking with strangers and sending photos and videos with strangers, some of whom want sex from you.

I mean, this should be an adult activity.

But what I've tried to do as a social psychologist is say, look, what we need is a norm that is widely followed.

And I thought if I went for 18, we wouldn't get it.

But I think 16, we can get.

16, sort of the end of puberty for, you know, girls are mostly done.

Boys are kind of finishing mostly.

So just raise the age.

I don't want to hear your arguments about, oh, well, but some kids would be able to have this benefit.

Yeah, sure, some kids could.

But this is devastating the entire ecosystem of childhood for everyone.

This should not be a part of childhood, nor should gambling, nor should pornography.

These should just not be normal parts of childhood.
