So what's the cure for the fact that the technology has made our kids so lonely? Oh, I guess the cure is artificial friends who will talk to your child and be very comforting and always there to listen. I can't think of a better way to stunt human development than to surround our kids with the perfect friends. When they hit teen years, it's going to be the perfect boyfriend or girlfriend.

They will never be able to actually flirt with or interest or marry another person because they won't be ready for it. So we've We've got to understand AI is super powerful tools that we adults can use to make hard tasks easy. But we don't want to make life easy for our kids. We don't want to remove the awkwardness of flirting, of approaching a girl or a boy.

We want them to experience that awkwardness thousands of times and they'll get over it. And then they'll be actually good at dealing with people.

That's right. So I want to say something to Natalie first, because Natalie, when you and I met with Oprah last spring, my wife and my sister were in the audience. And my wife was so moved by what you said. You said something like, I love you too much to insist that you like me, that you were willing to be the heavy, you were willing to endure his wrath and resentment.

Because in the long run, it's going to be so much better for him. And in the long run, he's probably going to love you more. He'll be able to love more. And that really influenced my wife, who was like crying while you were while you were speaking. And it's actually encouraged her to have a lot more back when I'm usually the softy with our daughter. But my wife is like, no, we got to hold firm.

And I just want to say one thing to Mike, which is what a lot of us are noticing is that the kids who are raised without smartphones, they're really present. There's a coolness. There's a strength. They're like real people. Yeah. And the kids who are always on their phones are like non-playable characters on a video game.
