So we are seeing counter trends already.

There was a study that was done by the BSI in the UK earlier this year.

16 to 21 year olds.

47% of them when polled said they wish they'd been raised in an era without the internet.

Think of that.

No Spotify.

No Netflix.

They would forego all of that at age 16 to 21.

to be able to live more fully at that young, young age.

Clearly something is not quite addressing our needs, even at a young age before we develop the wisdom to be able to understand some of the benefits of not being online the whole time.

Different levels of analysis and different perspectives.

There's this simultaneity where it's like, yeah.

Sometimes it is the worst at times, but I, having said everything, you know, and, and, and, and, and not looking away from, from the pain of the world.

Um, I still find a lot to marvel over and think that there's great potential and like the eloquence and spirit of people like you.

And there's lots of people like you, lots of people like us, just as many.

as potentially those that we find disempowering or uninspired.

Never doubt that a small, passionate, committed group of people can change the world.

It's the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead, be the change you want to be in the world.

We have to come back to that.
