So people just, there was a fatalism.

There was a sense of resignation.

We can't change this.

But an amazing thing happened, which is that the mothers of the world were so upset by this already.

The mothers felt it.

They felt their kids being pulled away.

And I think they felt it more than fathers did on average.

And so as soon as my book came out in 2024, and this was around the world, even countries I didn't go to, whenever it came out, groups of mothers would form or were already beginning to form

And they jumped into action and they started demanding action and they started getting phone-free schools and raising the age to 16 in countries around the world, especially Brazil, Australia, in the UK.

So much happened really quickly, driven by the mothers.
