Neuroplasticity, when you're building new brain circuits, it takes eight weeks.

Falling off, getting back up is part of habit formation.

So if you're going to make any of these changes, understand that it takes some time.

But I...

I don't know if it is possible for me or for others to say fully I'm going to delete off of my phone.

But I love that.

I agree wholeheartedly that it is so destructive.

And you feel like even with people in their 40s and 50s, and if anyone can do it, it's you, Jonathan.

Seriously, I would love to see it.

We also know, based on the data, that these things, they reshape our brain, rewire our brain through neuroplasticity, and also change our brain waves.

So patterns.

So we talked about the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex, right?

but they also change brainwaves.

And so when you look at studies and the data, it has the reward pathway in dopamine and these brain patterns, the brainwaves mimic addictive behaviors.

And there's certain features, right?

Like when you do swipe down to refresh, it's the slot machine.

Or autoplay or, you know, the algorithm, that infinite scroll.

One really interesting kind of like breaking news, which you guys may have already heard of,

It's like three days ago.

The European Union Commission found TikTok to be in breach of the Digital Services Act.
