Phone-free schools are so popular with teachers.
Teachers love it.
There is no way that this is getting reversed.
Yeah, like if we ban cocaine and then the Cocaine Association says, no, don't ban cocaine.
Like, come on, there's no way they're gonna be successful.
Yeah.
I mean, so there's a wonderful book called The Age of Addiction by David Courtright.
It's fascinating.
He traces out humans have always sought pleasure.
And it used to be we had to work hard to get pleasure.
You had to take down a beehive and get stung in order to get something sweet, you know?
Sure.
And that's slow dopamine.
That's like you have a goal, you work hard, you get it.
So that's all good.
And that's what we evolve for.
And that's what we want our kids to grow up learning.
Set a goal, work towards it.
And when you get it, it will be sweet.
But what's happened as we go into modernity, as we go into the age of discovery and you've got ships going all around the world and now you've got sugar and you've got tobacco, you've got all these things moving around, you get much more addiction and you get market forces, you get companies that are trying to push it.
