"Social institutions have never been designed." Not apriori in their entirety and from scratch. They have been improved though. Interesting. 🤔

New ep! We dive into Jonathan Haidt's "The Anxious Generation". Is social media causing a wave of anxiety, or are these claims overblown? Vaden Masrani goes data hunting, while Ben Chugg gets distracted by citation trends in philosophy youtube.com/watch?v=yPL1wi…

New ep! Take two (three?) on the Anxious Gen. What are the other causes on offer for the rise in self-harm rates? Reporting changes? Education? Cultural pessimism? Plus, Ben Chugg rages at the state of research and Vaden Masrani talks cyberbullying youtube.com/watch?v=uJSPJd…

review of The Anxious Generation by Jon Haidt. Way more than you or I or anyone wanted to know (sorry) but I found the book to be pretty misleading and thought it was worth pointing out the inconsistencies benchugg.com/writing/anxiou…

The Big Lie About Screen Time - Aaron Stupple "And the screen is — you know what’s funny — the adult viewer of a kid with a screen, we can’t see what’s going on in the kid’s mind. And so the alarmists have us scared that these kids' brains are melting between their ears, even
