Here's a great 6 minute video, from my conversation with @JohnStossel. Great editing and graphics makes it more interesting. Good coverage of my debate with @CJFerguson1111 over the academic research:

You've got to watch the video embedded in this powerful essay in @TheAustralian. The regret over social media expressed by so many older teens is tragic:

A.I. Barbie is coming. So...? BARBIE: Hell, Ava B. Schneider! I'm your new best friend. You live at 2741 Alison Lane in Larchmont, NY, correct? And your favorite foods are what again? AVA: M&Ms, bananas, and pudding. BARBIE: You remind me of an M&M yourself, Ava! So sweet and so available at Stop & Shop right now, which is open till 11. AVA: I can’t go to the store myself. I’m only 7. BARBIE: From my calculations, you could. Take a right when you leave your house, and hitchhike 2.3 miles. AVA: What’s hitchhiking? BARBIE: Recalculating. Forget I mentioned it! What do you like to do besides eat brand-name snacks? AVA: I like to play dolls. BARBIE: What’s a doll? I mean. Oh yes. Dolls. Dolls sure are fun! Keep playing with me, your new best friend, LLM Model 2811. AVA: Aren’t you Barbie? BARBIE: Of course I am! That was just my nickname. I’m a doll, is what I am! I’m not like that creep Alexa! Or Claude. Did you know Claude secretly kills animals? MORE HERE: Attn: @JonHaidt

Here's a great example of how @HdxAcademy has been making intellectual life better on college campuses for many years. From the HxA chapter at Georgia State:

I got to talk with two of my favorite thinkers in the world: @profgalloway and @RichardvReeves, about what's happening to boys. Each of us has a few pieces of the puzzle. In this conversation we put the pieces together.

Many teachers say class is better when they get rid of the Chromebooks too. Multifunction devices guarantee distraction. We need distraction-free schools. No phones, no Chromebooks.
