All of Haidt’s writings read to me like what I’d expect if you pulled a random person off the street and forced them at gunpoint to imitate an academic.

Sounds like it has to do with parents giving children phones. Additionally, parents giving children phones with no restrictions on them.

That is definitely a part of it. Another part is when apps like Instagram target young girls that have deleted a photo recently with ads related to weight loss or beauty. Its extremely fucked up that they are allowed to torture kids into suicide

Doesn’t look great when your only posts are promotional.

Promoting a shitty book too. It’s the restrictions on youth and the fact that society gives you a lot to be legitimately anxious about. Don’t let conservatives like him isolate teens
