- This week Scott is joined by NYU social psychologist and author Dr. Jonathan Haidt. Scott and Jonathan discuss the "great rewiring of childhood" and how it is negatively affecting the mental health of teenagers. They also discuss why a return to play based childhoods are better for kids in the long run and review the criticism of his research with an eye toward nuance and the recommendation of better studies to address one of the most pressing issues of our time.

#ThePsychologyPodcast #JonathanHaidt - Наука та технологія
I think the increase in mental illness is a symptom of being overwhelmed and bombarded by so many ideas before adequately being able to explore their own.
People used to have the mid-life crisis like 40-60. Now people are having it like 20-30.
And some are probably even having it during the teen phase on top of the rebellious phase, and on top of the identity consolidation phase that are both typically associated with teens.
Rather than it being a mental health crisis, I think it's a teen-life crisis which combined with other teen phenomenon is creating mental illness. Except they don't have the security of having already gone through various developmental stages, often including obtaining financal security like someone in their mid-life has.
There has to be kids out there who are doing alright, and my guess is that they had the space and guidance and time to develop some resemblance of confidence and authenticity. That they've had the opportunity to explore themselves outside of roles they may have felt mandated to fulfill such as doing well in school. Kids need a sense of reality that they can return to, that can fuel them through life.
Or something along these lines, idk.
I think though, if there is guidance on how people should navigate the mid-life crisis, i think we'd just have to apply them to kids somehow in addition to the type of stuff Haidt is suggesting. So ya, as Scott says, we need more internal constructive reflection
Thank you for this fascinating & crucial topic! :) P.s. I am nasty to propose a guest you might enjoy? :)
Vivian Dittmar had recently an excellent interview about the balance between transcendence & actualization with John Vervaeke.
Vivian could be a super fitting guest for you :)
P.s.s. the topic of balancing no-self experiences with integration into a more adaptable sense of self is highly fascinating!
I agree. I saw the podcast and enjoyed it. I look forward to reading her book "The Emotional Backpack."
Great moment on clarifying the Default Mode Network -- clearly there is an academic confusion on its function but most likely people are speaking to different stages of brain development along "moral maturation." This is a bold claim but John Vervaeke's latest interview with Vivian Dittmar gets at this phenomenologically in her claim to re-emphasize the "personal ego" to counter idolization of the "ego-less enlightenment."
Haha ok I didn't read your comment before I made the same and proposed Vivian as a guest 😅
Yes, that was a great podcast. I look forward to reading her book "The Emotional Backpack."
Sounds like the best way to activate the Default Mode Network is to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation. ❤️👽🛸❤️ (except maybe the Ferengi).
Other cultural solutions might be possible to prevent sextortion, to teach kids.

@@rfcalm No, No. I was keeping it for my reference to start the video next time.
