You know, so, I mean, there were vices.

Unless you were too ashamed about it.

But anyway, the point is, yeah, there were temptations, but they were few and far between.

And now, especially once the kids are online, imagine your son, especially, this is more for the boys than the girls, imagine your son just sitting there on a screen, surrounded by fish hooks, baited with the most delicious stuff.

And they're all saying, bite me, bite me, no, bite me.

And that's childhood.

So again, I'm putting things in a kind of extreme way.

I'm not saying this is literally what childhood is, but this is the change we've seen once everything went digital.

That's right.

I just noticed when I was walking home from the gym the other day on Sixth Avenue,

And there's all these shops that sell cigarettes and things, but they had listed, it was like every possible dopamine trigger.

They didn't list porn, but they had like all these different products, all these different ways.

Yeah, that's right.

And who goes into them?

It's gonna be a class thing.

It's marketing to working class people to say, here, numb your unhappiness.

So the first one I said, we're already getting phone-free schools.

So that's clearly going to happen.

And there's just so many benefits from it.

We haven't yet seen increases in test scores, but we're seeing a lot of other benefits, laughter in the hallways, teachers say that kids are more attentive.
