Tiktok being banned won't solve much, there are 50 other apps ready to jump in and replace it, but maybe, just maybe someone will produce reliable research to measure the impact of these apps and finally get towards some policy proposals aimed at cutting out the most harmful elements while retaining the benefits. I can dream, right?

Jonathan Haidt is trying. But he’s getting the entire academy screaming at him for it. There’s certain forces deeply invested in ensuring teens stay addicted to their phones, and to my eyes it appears to be leftists primarily who desire to keep the status quo, who will try to argue you that it’s “alarmist” to be concerned at all about the massive societal rot and atomization occurring all around you. Phone addiction is politics addiction and a massive opportunity for political brainwashing of young impressionable kids. It’s done wonders for their movement. The moment people stop being addicted to their phones is the moment the trans movement and other adjacent movements wither and die. So it’s not just capital set against you - it’s woke capital.

Have you looked much into NDEs? That’s probably the best proof of an afterlife, science really has a hard time explaining whatever this phenomenon is (there are explanations but in my opinion they are pretty weak)

If Trump had lost the election we would definitely see major self criticism from within republican ranks of trumpism

For both parties it seemed like it should have been an easy win

It was sort of amazing to see Obama get bullied into releasing his long form BC after years of birtherism conspiracy shilling by Trump

Is this an indication his diablo records a lie as well? Why?

I mean his point isn’t that they aren’t doing those things, it’s that they have a very strong racial consciousness and sense of all non African races as being The Other

Political leaders listen to them, artists listen to them, etc. because they have time and disposable income.

Do they ever

MacKenzie Scott, Bezos ex wife, used the gigantic Amazon divorce money she got to spend 16 BILLION dollars on hundreds of NGOs

These billionaires divorces are worse than Soros

Ukraine is no shithole! UKRAINE IS STRONG

flips over risk board

With such a strong patriotic movement, why does Ukraine have so many deserters and draft dodgers?

Are mods on vacation? Who is this 4 comment troll

and they distrusted the people who warned of the fascism because those people were rude

“Rude” is a funny euphemism for totally psychopathic here

That’s just Chinese women

Stereotypes of both seem to be contradictory

Rationalist types and latinas make quite an odd couple

Yeah but it’s all WMAF-, pretty boringly common combo

Black interracial marriages have the highest divorce rate, so maybe not a wise public policy

What determines what a species is, turns out to be rather arbitrary and quite controversial within the field

I don’t deny that I just wonder at the scale of its reach. It’s good that right wingers are starting to get into “raising awareness” game, which has so far been dominated by liberal causes and ideas

This seems way too pessimistic. Daniel Penny stood up for strangers and in NYC of all places managed to get a not guilty verdict. Granted the UK is different but what jury would convict a parent of such a thing?

We are already aware a few parents tried to intervene but were arrested. So you already must admit you are wrong on this, just looking for excuses why these parents did nothing

The algorithm determines what you see however and is good at hiding politics you don’t agree with (although musk tweets may be an exception)

I mean that was happening anyway, and at least you can draw attention to what’s happening

Your kid is getting raped, regularly. How much worse can it get?

These girls weren’t just random British girls. They were of the underclass, if you’ve read Life At the Bottom (which you should) you’d know what these people are like. The dads are rarely even involved at all. That’s what made these girls vulnerable and partially why there is muted uproar in England.

In my opinion, X provides a better platform for ideas to percolate into the public's consciousness.

Is this the public or is it just the Online Right? Not that many Americans are on X and of those maybe half are right leaning? So the impact, while it’s there, Isn’t that huge I think

IIRC their hostility to America started with an Egyptian named Qutb who came to America on scholarship, and basically was an incel who hated that Americans dated and danced and listened to jazz music.
