I agree Sarah Montague is a bit clueless on this issue, she should have done a bit more prep. Thanks Jonathan for raising awareness and speaking out on this modern social ill.
Wonderful insights from Jonathan Haidt. Generally well moderated but she continually interrupts, diverts, makes jokes, starts making interruptive and jumping-in noises that rush him into ending his answer, which he does many times quite politely, or otherwise interrupts him JUST when there were other insights or deeper thoughts that include a breath or pause from Jonathan. No need for injecting when you have such an engaging guest. An informative and wonderful session overall.
My lord this moderator is insufferable. She clearly has no conception of the topic being discussed. She keeps acting as if this is about taking all of society back 50 years LISTEN. The case he's making is quite precise. Childhood development has always included risk taking. The development of children SUFFERS without them being able to learn from risk taking Phones and technology in general are not central to the thesis. They are merely what has replaced traditional outdoor play and associated risk taking. (There are all sorts of other issues with ever present technology/connectivity, and these largely apply to adults as well. Separate issue[s])
"Phones and technology in general are not central to the thesis. They are merely what has replaced traditional outdoor play and associated risk taking." You contradict yourself.
@Guy-Lewis if I had you'd cite the contradiction. My guess is that you don't understand the differentiation between "central" and "relevant" As he has been explaining for years, and as I explained, the CENTRAL issue is the lack of independent outdoor play and associated, graduated risk taking. If this had been replaced by fully supervised itineraries (as it has with certain children with helicopter parents) orv Anthony else rather than screens the problem would still be the problem
@@Cheyne4Chelsea Although you presumably know that correlation is is not causation, you appear to be oblivious to the relationship between cause and effect.
@@Guy-Lewis you're clearly trying to impress with terms you don't understand. Again, explain where I've made a mistake. And now u also ask you to explain what correlation I've confused with causation. Be specific. I'm obviously very dumb
Finally someone who cares about the children of the world - well done for standing up - Sarah Montague you are behind the times and have no concern for the welfare of the children hopefully you will never be involved in legislation. Go Jonathan.
I think it is way too easy to scapegoat whatever technology we have now. Its harder to acknowledge that even back in the day and now, parents are worked to the bone and society expects them to go home and create some kind of structure for their kid that they can rely on and expect from us adults. Low paying jobs and exhaustion is the issue. Another issue is that there is not enough structure built into social media sites when you sign up. There should be an understanding of how we can use social media in healthy ways and avoid toxic screen usage levels.
He is a psychologist, so he has to constantly find facts to argue "Do X." As a philosopher, I can simply say: "Who cares whether or not large amounts of people are doing ABC. Join me in doing X instead of ABC. Your happiness will be the proof that it is the wise choice."
Haidt is an interesting social scientist, however he's wrong that things have only got better. Lots of communities got really screwed by neoliberalism. He's right though about Gen Z and Alpha and he's right that Conservatives and Liberals need to understand him better.

Well moderated? Not even a little bit.
@@agaperionshe was terrible!
The moderator is so obnoxious, what’s the point of having someone on if your not going to listen to them
Play and be productive in a healthy way.

My perception is that the #1 obstacle is adults not generally being on "the same team" anymore
The full version of this video is available to watch for our Members (Gold level) here: ua-cam.com/video/Pg_jijdUxuY/v-deo.html
The interviewer seems very intense and counter argues out of stubbornness

The host is so rude, and her constant interrupting makes the viewing experience somewhat stressful.
👏!
You cut the video off!
Can you post the rest of it?
I’m not Gen Z, my attention span is longer, lol.
Please, let’s hear more from toxic do-nothing moderate corporate centrists. How utterly fascinating.
Haidt is an interesting social scientist, however he's wrong that things have only got better. Lots of communities got really screwed by neoliberalism.
He's right though about Gen Z and Alpha and he's right that Conservatives and Liberals need to understand him better.
As I recall, he said that things were improving *until 2013*
So, gradual improvement followed by what I'd call reversed bigotry.
