"For example, in one study, Steinberg’s data shows that 13 year old white boys are more mature than 30 year old black men. Steinberg ignores the race differences in the study and speaks in the media about how dumb and immature and undeserving of liberties white 13 year olds are."
I cannot find this study, neither on the web, nor in your book's bibliography. What study are you refering to?
“Social media is arbitrarily bad for mental health” is one of the most undercriticized “big lies” of our society. College in the current year might collapse if the pitfalls of this mantra were salient to professors. Almost every gen ed writing essay is about social media. Presentations relating to modern issues? Almost always about social media. All repeating the same mediocre correlational studies. Part of it is laziness or lack of inspiration, part of it is that there is a certain type of person who has no ability to think of novel things to write about. They can only think about “current things”. “How does AI affect this” “how does Coovid-15 affect this” “How does social media affect this”. It’s a great way to get a B on an essay you don’t feel like putting any effort in, because the teacher has probably already internalized it heavily but won’t give you an A because even he/she can’t ignore that 80% of the class wrote about the same thing.
There is no mental health crisis in young men. Men are less suicidal, less depressed, less anxious, and less likely to be on antidepressants than women. And if anything this gap has increased.
You know when i think about internet usage by the average population its basically a usage thats very stuck on a core intranet.
If you forced it down to 50 websites, most people wouldn't notice a difference.
There's very few people who look up specific works and topics on random old archives from the 2000s, websites who increasingly are shutting down saddingly.
Im not proposing any restrictions or whatever, im just stating that any restriction on internet acces to some north Korean intranet management would not affect the commoner much.
The internet should be free to access for 13 year old boys who just started questioning the mythos of their society, not for the plebeians sake however whom never goes outside the starter town as it were.
Just ordered a hard copy of your book, it's been the only book i've actually read halfway through so far in the past 8 years, great work.
Attention deficit....?
Perhaps, although most of the books I've read are just over bloated stories that could've been formatted better for television.
Bookcels wont like this but it’s true

Don't you think the mental health crisis in young men that's all over utube a sign that boys have been affected by smartphones?
