So even in the other direction, that boundary is dissolved.

And that's really disorienting because we don't know what to do.

But if you look back at history, there has always been a hearth and there has always been an agora, especially if you think of these things not as home and work, but as the hearth being the thing that tethers us to

whether that's family or home or history or our ancestry.

And you think of the agora just being as sort of the public sphere, the thing that is not so private, if you think of it as private and public.

And so that metaphor becomes really important to me because I think we need to move away from the homework categories and think about it in a broader, more essential way.

And I think those metaphors allow you to understand how

home and work functioned as important spaces for our psychological, emotional, spiritual, professional well-being, but that they don't necessarily always need to take the same form.

I mean, I want to say yes, but I also don't want to, you know, it's sort of, I think there's a lot of rhetoric that doesn't sort of match what parents actually do.

I think we like to perform this perfect, this image of a parent who's always putting a lot more restrictions than we actually are.

So while yes, I think that's a problem in the way we think, I'm not sure where any of us act as divided as it sounds.

And what I mean by divided is, I think that quote came out of a discussion in

There's all this conversation about screen time.

How many hours should a kid be allowed in front of a screen?

All these things.

And meanwhile, it's just not optional anymore, right?

Could you imagine if you had to do anything like work or your personal relationships without a phone or a computer or anything?

Imagine if I said you're only allowed one hour a day and you have to still make your life work.

I don't think anyone could do that.

And what scares me is that kids, the message they get when we divide it into these sort of episodic moments of screen time is it becomes this sort of temptation where none of the normal rules apply, right?
