So you're not even like taking in nature and taking in what's around you.

So, um, yeah, it's, it's a really complicated thing.

Listen, I'm not an expert.

I'm just a dumb actor.

We're here talking about these issues.

I have suffered from mental health issues myself.

I've gone through really difficult times.

Uh, I have an anxiety disorder.

Um, uh,

And I've been in treatment for anxiety, depression, loneliness.

And this is all greatly exacerbated by social media.

And how do I put this?

Let me put it this way.

I barely made it out of my 20s.

I was never like fully like, but I did have some very dark thoughts about like, why am I here?

Why should I even be here?

And if in my 20s, I had had unlimited distraction on my phone, and this is the most dangerous and colossal experiment like ever perpetrated on the human species.

Like here's 7 billion of us.

Let's give like, I don't know, four or 5 billion of them, little pocket computers that have endless games, endless distraction, social media,

YouTube, video clips, TikTok, endless scrolling, endless news and doom scrolling.
