Yes.

Older people spend an inordinate amount of time on their phone and social media and are a lot more likely to like over shit.

Maybe we need an over 60 ban on the internet.

Maybe let's pass that before we ban everyone under 16.

No one in Congress will be able to access the web.

Yeah, there's this great headline of a story that came out years ago that was not every study on like depression and social media is bad, only most of them.

And it was actually talking mostly about like these teen studies, but it's kind of true universally.

There was this book called The Anxious Generation written by this man, Jonathan Haidt, that used effectively almost entirely like debunked or deeply sort of like mischaracterized studies.

So there's a lot of bad stuff out there.

You can make a study that finds anything, right?

So I hate when people are like, but what about this study?

And it's like, well, there's tons of limitations and that's a bad study.

But what we know from the meta analysis, which are basically like studies that study all the studies, is that there is no causal effect.

So it just goes back to the same thing that we're seeing with teens.

Social media use is like a symptom of whatever the underlying like root.

issue is that you're having.
