So social media significantly reduces the ability to think critically. AI, if brought up too early in one's life, will reduce the ability to think at all. It makes sense, imo. Who needs to think when you have lost your ability to interact with others, can work from home, can get groceries without leaving the house, have decided to not procreate.

Not quite.

The screen time issues you're referring to is based in passive consumption, and vertical scrolling shrinks the brain.

Creating, engaging with an activity or interaction is completely different than consumption. Night and day.

I don't know how you can type that with a straight face; look at critical thinking skills of the average boomer, who grew up without any social media.

There are studies done that social media before 14 greatly increases depression in new ways.

And short form content physically shrinks the brain. Studies easily accessible.

Just because boomers are out of touch doesn't mean you or I default are in touch.

Boomer probably had the same deluded feeling of being better than the generations before them but likely lost something.

Since we're wanting to point fingers, why not point some fingers at the millenials who built the digital slot machines that the users today don't know they were curated to use.
