And I urge that any parents out there that are listening, work as hard as you can to find other kids that your kids can hang out with without supervision. It's very important that they be unsupervised because that's the way that they learn to be self-supervising. So that is fantastic what you're doing.

Now, as for whether this is something where we need to respond urgently or maybe this is just kind of a problem and we should study it more and not act hastily, that's, I think, your position.

That is possible. And I'm in the position of saying this time is different. Now, in previous moral panics, people said this time is different too. So I understand that I could be wrong, but I think the effects of this technology, it's especially the touchscreen, the quick stimulus response, and then the super connection, not direct connection, but mediated by algorithm for for-profit companies.

My argument is this is different. First of all, this is global. That hasn't happened before. This is accompanied by an instant increase in all kinds of mental illness, which didn't happen with television or anything else. This is something that the kids themselves recognize.

With television, there was a moral panic, but my sisters and I were watching I Dream of Jeannie and the Brady Bunch and I Love Lucy, and we loved it. We had no reservations about it, but Gen Z does. We did a survey. One question is, do you wish this technology had never been invented? And for Instagram, it was 35% say they wish it was never invented.

For TikTok, 48% say they wish it was never invented. They feel trapped. So this is not like previous moral panics. Secondly, part of the reason I'm rushing with such urgency here that we have to act quickly is that AI is coming in faster than anyone realizes. We think chat GPT, it'll get a little smart. No. The AI friends are coming in. Soon the AI girlfriends will be implanted in robots.

What's coming at kids is so far beyond what we can imagine. And the principle so far from the early days of the internet, our children are the same as adults. Anyone can be any age on the internet. There is no age. Everyone can do everything. That's been the rule.
