Ah yes, we need special scientific evidence to figure out if playing outside with friends, fresh air and sunshine is better or worse than watching TikTok 5 hours a day.
If you can’t disambiguate between culture-war fear-mongering and the actual prerequisites for human flourishing, you are as fucked in the head as any lead-addled boomer.
Which one of those is an actual prerequisite for human flourishing? Radio, TV, video games or phones? And which ones do you refuse to use because they are stopping you from flourishing? Apparently you’re okay with the internet.
How are kids supposed to go outside and play when places for kids to play have disappeared, replaced with empty parking lots and record breaking temps every year?

I accused you of being unable to identify aspects of human flourishing, and you’ve now replied to confirm that for me.
So it’s radio?
OK, boomer.
You just pissed off a lot of pale, depressed young people. 🤣
