So for example, maybe we've never known kissing a boy before we've seen violent videos on Pornhub, or we've never known friendship before it became, you know, posting your friend like a prop on Instagram or sending, getting a Snapchat streak with someone.

Again, we've never had the freedom to grow up clumsily.

It's always been on social media.

We've always had this surveillance on ourselves.

And I think sometimes my generation is judged from the perspective of an older generation who had those things.

And I think it starts to make more sense when you view it as a generation just trying desperately to simulate what has been degraded.

Yeah.

And you feel like you have to join in.

So I was the same.

I was painfully shy when I was younger.

But I felt like I wouldn't exist if I wasn't posting selfies on Instagram or trying to sort of endlessly prove my existence like everyone else's.

And I think for my generation, it's even worse for girls because we grew up with Facetune editing apps.

And for the next generation, like AI beauty filters.

So the app Facetune, I spoke about it last time I was on, it's gotten even worse to the point now where they have a friendly, literally called a friendly AI assistant, where you ask the AI what you want to look like and it will just do it for you.

So we would have to go in and like edit our body and edit our faces by hand, whereas now you just ask and it will just give you a curvier body or transform your face.

Then you post that on Instagram and you get attention and validation for that.

It does better than an unfiltered, unedited picture.

And then you develop dysphoria.

And you can't see your true self anymore.

You can just see...
