I’m 47 years old, married and have 3 teenage kids. I’m from Los Angeles CA. My vote is to shut down all social media (instagram, Facebook, tik tok, etc.). I would not want to shut down the internet as a whole though because we can read articles and books online which is educational.
I think they would just rebrand and create other platforms that are similar. It's very hard to put a stop to the social media as long as internet exists.
I'm 68. I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Spent most of my life in Vegas. And let me tell you. I was content back then with no cell phone. No computer. Modern technology aka social media has corrupted society so much. Kids get lost in it.
Same here, I'm 62 and grew up in So. CA, but at 14 yrs. moved to Vegas. I was well protected and felt safe and secure growing up, and the only worring I did, was right before "That Test on Friday" in school. We lived through 'THE LAST GREAT DECADE' in America.
I’m only 28 and even I remember a time before social media. I was a young teen when MySpace came out, but there wasn’t a “showing off” culture like there is now. Nobody rented a Lamborghini to take a picture back then, we just had cool profile backgrounds and music playing when the page opened. The young teens I see now honestly worry me
I always said cellphones, computers, and social media are the downfall to society. People no longer no how ro communicate or hold a conversation. I'm older now, but I used to live going out and meeting people and have a few drinks. It was a great time to meet the opposite sex.
Social media has destroyed childhood. Young teens are so vulnerable and impressionable! I was bullied in middle and high school for being the "smart girl". There were so many nasty rumors circulating about me ..of which I was not aware. But being active in youth civic projects kept me safe and sane. Being in "your" age group now, I have grown children and grandchildren. It is much worse for the grands than it was for me! Social media for those under 18???... I say GET THE H¢££ RID OF IT!!
5:49, I remember that. I was one of the few telling you to leave that crap where it lays because it’s just crap. You won’t change their mind and addressing it only makes them want to poke the bear more. Keep your head up high Michael.
Social media definitely has changed childhood! 💯 Going outside with friends playing sports and riding bikes around the neighborhood was a big part of childhood back then! Without social media we would have more of that still! Ban social media you got my vote!
Like most things: it starts in the home. Restrict screen time. Bring back the art of communicating face-to-face. Learn how to deal with assholes in real life. Be better parents.
Good video guys, but with out social media I wouldn't be watching you guys the tip of my hands and get the videos and action that I get from you guys. LOL blessings from riverside, California.
This podcast may not get as many views as your guy's other stuff, but this is a very good content and very important stuff, so I hope you continue to do it even if you cut down on the number of episodes, this stuff is great
I'm 31 , and social media to me was humor and entertainment to make others laugh. Now it's just narratives , pointing fingers , and hostility. I'd say ban social media for teenagers , and toughen up these kids so they won't be sensitive.
We’re close in age, remember sitting in middle school contemplating how much a tool like Google will advance our society and knowledge? Remember being fearful at how much smarter the future generations would be over you? Contemplating how much more advanced the kids would be when you retire? What jaded fools we were, and so wrong too. It’s crazy man. Just crazy.
You guys are true gentlemen!! It is nice to see that. Social media. is good for games, movies and only talking to your true friends and for knowledge. Children should be supervised and even me from phony websites. I thought I was talking to a real movie star, but I got let down because he wasn't the real deal!! Companies need this to sell their wares. So, it is ok to have this.
they show themselves as they are without caring about views, likes, etc. keep it up! easier said than done but you really do walk the talk. greetings from 🇺🇾
I like social media, but I don't get carried away with it. I use it mainly for looking up information about history (love history, love learning about it) and finding information about something specific things like gardening .
Hey guys thank you for doing it together in person much more professional and what makes me to come back to the videos a lot of energy is missed through zoom
I'm with you on this one Michael. My vote would be to get rid of it all together. In my opinion, social media does far worse than good. Like Chaz pointed out, one really good reason is that it gives bad people a platform that they should've never had. I really enjoyed the conversation fellas. God bless always!
They would have to learn to live without it and actually talk to each other and young kids could actually be playing outside or play normal games. Love listening to you gentlemen talk.
I like social media I connect with people that i grew up with many friends from school and the town i grew up in we share our lives talk about and show family pictures it's really nice everyone is scattered all over the country and it's a great way to keep in touch we have many group conversation 's about many different things i enjoy my interactions on social media it's when you go out of your circle that's not so good in the public arena sometimes
As always I enjoy your informative videos I think they're fantastic there are a few things we can do to hamper the social media problems number one,Encourage positivity: Share uplifting, inspiring, or constructive posts. Engage with others in a kind and respectful manner. Lead by example in modeling positive social media behavior. Report problematic content: Most platforms have mechanisms to report harassment, hate speech, misinformation, and other rule-breaking content. Use these reporting tools to flag issues and help curb negativity.
Social media has been a net negative for society; especially kids. We are designed to be in relationships with other humans. Social media has broken that. And like you mention cyber-bullying has become a serious issue.
I wish Mike and Chazz had a like-minded co-host of the younger generation to bounce ideas off. Get some youthful perspective mixed with old school perspective. George Janko
People become heroes behind a keyboard and the bullying is out of control. The social media platforms have to somehow clamp down on it . Mature people take it with a grain of salt but kids don't have the maturity to do that and being bullied has devastating effects on them
I'm on the fence here. It IS a double-edged sword. My problem is, I'm one of those "regular folks" that tends to believe things from what appears to be reputable sources, but turns out to be BS. Case in point: I was about to do a Google search for something the other day, when a news item popped up on my feed..."We're deeply sad to report the sudden, accidental death of actress Sally Field...fall from balcony...click here for details." Well, I clicked, and it was just a short bio of her life and career. Nothing about her supposed "death." So I went to the comments and immediately read: "This is BS! She's alive and well!" I don't understand how people can get away with this (?) Do these people somehow profit from readers clicking on their post? It's despicable!
If social media was gone? Good riddance. I use the computer mostly as a juke box or to watch old reruns of old shows like Kojak, Rockford Files, The Fugitive, Perry Mason... and movies. That's really about it. Never got into socializing on here. It's la la land. As a way to enjoy & discover music? Absolutely. But that's all. Then again I'm in my 50s. Those of us who came of age during the Cold War, before the changes of the 1990s are simply thicker skinned, and tend to approach the using the computer as a tool. Not to mention we grew up bearing witness to the evils of the Soviet Union. Never trusted the CIA Bushes. 100% Independent Patriot all my life. Love America!
This one is sooo hard to answer. I would say no to the "influencer" type of social media. But say yes to entertainment social media. But those 2 are so intermingled sometimes. Its a real tough question. I would get rid of the prostitution side of social media. Onlyfans or IG/TikTok "models"
I agree with the age limit on social media but would not ban it completely. We can no longer trust the mainstream media for the news. I have found many trustworthy sources of news outlets on the internet. Also I enjoy connecting with family and friends across the country. With ALL of its warts I think it should stay but Definitely put an age limit on it. Driver’s License number would be a great way to enforce that. Great job guys!!! -Nick Giardiello
It's not get rid of the internet all that quick searching and looking stuff up what's there will be fine it's the social media that is useless to anyone except for to talk to people we could do without that
Timing is the most important aspect of anything important. Fransexy said it in the opening. If the gov realized men are too emotionally immature to drink bc bad decisions before 21. Why would we allow anything more than a hand pistol or shotgun in their hand before that age? As men we can agree (especially in today's world) that super emotional awareness is needed to make split second decisions. Especially to protect ourselves and our families. I think the age to own semi-autos is 26. If we do this now I believe it may take a generation but we prevent over emotional rage events significantly. Social media is contributing to over emotional rage and all these factors are playing into a circle of uncontrollable outrage and scorn! Lies and hate are pushing people off the emotional cliff. The crazy part is that deep down nobody truly hates anyone as much as they want to. Everyone compares themselves to others and I never understood this not even as a 5th grader! Keep ur kids off social media comments! WORDS ARE STONES...THE PEN IS SWORD....PICTURES ARE LIES....VIDEOS BRAINWASH
Getting rid of social media is a pipe dream. It’s not going anywhere. I honestly believe it’s brought the average intellect down. My hope is it’ll lose its appeal over time and people will get back to interaction with other people again. It’s common for 20 year olds to not have any friends now because of it.
I don't think tiktok, instagram, and the like are overall a net positive for humanity. We would be better without it. It really worsens the attention for span for individuals too when it comes to consuming content. At the very least, it should have an age restriction at least up to 18.
Honestly as someone who apart from UA-cam never uses social media, I wouldn't care for it being banned. I think if it were banned it may resolve a few problems. Or better yet a law should be introduced where any extremely toxic behaviour or words should lead to an instant Internet ban. It may seem childish to do but if you ask me, it's these morons' access to the internet that cause the problems rather than the media itself.
great episode today i think social media should be controlled not bannded yes its double edge sword indeed i only use facebook and instagram only dont use tick tok or twitter if you use social media responsably thats fine but not responsably is a problem and i use social media responsably here infact im able to talk to my friends from school i went to thanks to social media as well and friends i know
I used to be a bouncer downtown Detroit. I once went up to a group of beautiful women in a booth . They had a basket full of booze great music men all around.. they were all on their phones. Then I was a jerk for telling them to enjoy the night get of your phones . True story...
Michael and Chazz. I love all these videos but love when you both converse. I agree w/ everything you both said, everything. I do love youtube. They do have guidelines and tv really went down the tubes. I've learned so much on youtube from credible youtubers. What I don't like about youtube are those ppl who know it all and know nothing. Another subject. Trump? People don't want to hear truth. Goes all throughout history. Eff what ppl have to say w/ Trump I could put food on the table, etc. Goes deeper. FB to me is lookat me, look at my perfecto life..BS. Posting their food, etc. which can make the less fortunate feel badly. They go out, have to post the location where they're eating...umm, not cool. Enjoy a damn meal w/ your family/friends and get over yourself. I don't do tiktok. I used to do instagram but again bragging is not my thing. The porn on insta is out of control. I hear ppl talk about girls maybe 14, 15, 16, 17 degrading themselves. Celebrities too. It's all out of control and shows me how many narcs there are in this world. Sad. The suicides, sadly I agree. I'd love to be young again but was blessed I really growing up had fun! Had social skills, etc. Dating sites, pedo land. I could go on and on. Thank you both for putting this out there. I'd like to see you both do more on this. Love you both!!!! God Bless! 💖
I’m all for personal freedom, but I also see that most people can’t control themselves and are falling victim to this horrible trend. Sometimes the child needs disciplined. Ban em
Interesting conversation. Lunacy with regard to transgender participating in woman's sports, who has allowed this madness. There definitely should be an age limit for children, but a lot of parents are not going to cooperate too busy. A lot of young girls, more so than boys I think rely on how many likes they get for their images they post it creates low self esteem. The filters they use on their images also. Bullying online now, nearly every child has a phone nowadays and something embarrassing could be posted and shared and no way of stopping and retrieving it straight away. Alot of stress on children nowadays.
Both of you are absolutely right! Too many opinions with no historic background, no respect or decency. Only a return to Almighty God could give us a snowball's chance!
I think social media is OK maybe they order band the comments and interaction between people. I think social media is good for gaining information about news current events, etc..
I have a tonne of respect for these two fine gentlemen, but to blame the tool for the problem is always the easy way out. Imagine knives should be banned because more stabbings occur these day. The reason society has broken down is because parents believe in allowing their children to do as they please from a young age. My wife and I have always had limits on the time & how its to be used by the children. We made sure family time was paramount etc. Our family has zero social media problems because it was nipped in the bud from the start. Parents need to accept responsibilty for how their children are behaving and not blaming the tool or expect he Gov to fix their family problem.
As a callow Pacific Islands ke'iki, we have NO "smart phone"(dumb sheeple), and do all our comms via email. We are on NO SM platform of any kind. Never, ever. My kupuna advised me: 1.) Worry only about things you can do something about, 2.) Focus on gratitude, and you'll be a lot happier in life. F*ck yeah! A hui hou kakou.😎🌴🌺
Banning it because you can’t parent your kids isn’t a good enough reason. There are countless small businesses that count on TikTok and instagram to share their product. It’s a huge tool and helps keeps the American dream alive. As far as the whole Chinese government thing goes, I doubt they are more inclined to stick their noses in my business than our own government. But that’s just me.
I’m pretty sure someone tried to ban the printing press, the cat is out of the bag men we have to try to reassert conservative or more commonly know as common sense values.
It is the Same as Don't, and is the Opposite of Do " { Do not } love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it ; but he who does the will of God abides { forever } . " The last sentence is a little hint for those who have a working brain, and are able to see { beyond } the tip of their nose. ✝✔ What does do not mean ? It means { do not } . It is the same as don't, and is the opposite of do.
Hey guys, the only way our young would actually use their brain, it would have to have an app. No I’m friggin serious, these laptops and phones have turned their brains to mush. Ever have one of them try to give you change after their register took a dump, it’s pretty sad actually.
How is this even debatable??? Its 💯 ruined society. I grew up in the 80s. Outside playing with friends. ( was never in the house). These kids today are in the basement on there phones with this garbage 🗑️. AWFUL!
Although I vote to shutt down all the social media platforms... I know is not going to happen... however it should be age limit to it. I am a mother of 14 year old twin boys and I am very strickt in how much time they are spending on phones etc. Our school forbid the phones in the school, which is really good. But moreover we all have to build the kids up to be a healthy human beings and to learn how to make desicions and use abd chose what society is offering now. Second thing - please get rid of Biden ASAP, for the sake of a whole world... not really sure Trump is the best choice... but, honestly, America is lacking in a real leaders for decades... take care guys. Love the podcast.
Unfortunately like a most things. It’s a double edge sword. You have so much knowledge at the tips of your fingers. But on the other end you have keyboard warriors creating issues and not taking any accountability. The world is not what it used to be. It almost feels like a race to the bottom unfortunately.
I love when these great gentlemen get together.
Children no longer play together. We let our society turn so sick
I’m 47 years old, married and have 3 teenage kids. I’m from Los Angeles CA. My vote is to shut down all social media (instagram, Facebook, tik tok, etc.). I would not want to shut down the internet as a whole though because we can read articles and books online which is educational.
Agree. Shut down and ban all social media.
Wouldn’t hurt my feelings. It’s going to fail at some point or another anyways.
I’m 41 so I grew up in both worlds, my opinion is get rid of social media it’s done more harm than good
Agree!
I agree with this as well.
Agree
I think they would just rebrand and create other platforms that are similar. It's very hard to put a stop to the social media as long as internet exists.
Im 16 and Im from Sweden. Yeah, ban it.😅😂
Social media has the good, the bad and the ugly.
Well said!
We either control the .. 'tools' (🤐) .. or we have them used ON us.
A.i.
Algorithms
Censorship
Etc etc
Ain’t that the truth.
very true
I'm 68. I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Spent most of my life in Vegas. And let me tell you. I was content back then with no cell phone. No computer.
Modern technology aka social media has corrupted society so much. Kids get lost in it.
Same here, I'm 62 and grew up in So. CA, but at 14 yrs. moved to Vegas. I was well protected and felt safe and secure growing up, and the only worring I did, was right before "That Test on Friday" in school. We lived through 'THE LAST GREAT DECADE' in America.
I’m only 28 and even I remember a time before social media. I was a young teen when MySpace came out, but there wasn’t a “showing off” culture like there is now. Nobody rented a Lamborghini to take a picture back then, we just had cool profile backgrounds and music playing when the page opened. The young teens I see now honestly worry me

Hearing dudes who are not like super geeks talk about media is excellent. A complete other point of view!
Wise guys straight from the hip,Keep punching!
I'm 31 , and social media to me was humor and entertainment to make others laugh. Now it's just narratives , pointing fingers , and hostility. I'd say ban social media for teenagers , and toughen up these kids so they won't be sensitive.
We’re close in age, remember sitting in middle school contemplating how much a tool like Google will advance our society and knowledge?

The generation with a library in their pocket but refuse to use the information, or worse yet, the information is misused towards them.
You guys are true gentlemen!! It is nice to see that. Social media. is good for games, movies and only talking to your true friends and for knowledge. Children should be supervised and even me from phony websites. I thought I was talking to a real movie star, but I got let down because he wasn't the real deal!!

I like social media, but I don't get carried away with it. I use it mainly for looking up information
about history (love history, love learning about it) and finding information about something specific things like gardening .
Glad you guys are still going love this show I know it takes a lot of effort to do this
Hey guys thank you for doing it together in person much more professional and what makes me to come back to the videos a lot of energy is missed through zoom
Social Media is a double edge sword. There's a loss of a human connection.

Great video Guys! come up to Toronto!
Interesting topic and question. Never thought about age limits. Could be something behind this #wise #wiseguy
I have always maintained that social media is the bane of our existence.
I wish Mike and Chazz had a like-minded co-host of the younger generation to bounce ideas off. Get some youthful perspective mixed with old school perspective. George Janko
I agree!
Personally I quit using social media if and while I was extremely irked over something.
they should get rid of social media . for the sake of all countries in the world . only my humble opinion as a religious person
I t is how you use it and with who..
People become heroes behind a keyboard and the bullying is out of control. The social media platforms have to somehow clamp down on it . Mature people take it with a grain of salt but kids don't have the maturity to do that and being bullied has devastating effects on them
I'm on the fence here. It IS a double-edged sword.
My problem is, I'm one of those "regular folks" that tends to believe things from what appears to be reputable sources, but turns out to be BS.

Control over tools vrs being at the whim of those using them on us.
👍
consider the source, always.

You guys really help me the best podcast you guys should have guest on podcast Al Pacino Martin Scorsese
" I wish you the life you have" I like that
Social Media is horrible.
This one is sooo hard to answer. I would say no to the "influencer" type of social media. But say yes to entertainment social media. But those 2 are so intermingled sometimes. Its a real tough question. I would get rid of the prostitution side of social media. Onlyfans or IG/TikTok "models"

Social media is ruining the world. How many thousands of years did mankind get by without it
It's not get rid of the internet all that quick searching and looking stuff up what's there will be fine it's the social media that is useless to anyone except for to talk to people we could do without that

Lies and hate are pushing people off the emotional cliff.
The crazy part is that deep down nobody truly hates anyone as much as they want to.
Everyone compares themselves to others and I never understood this not even as a 5th grader!
Keep ur kids off social media comments!
WORDS ARE STONES...THE PEN IS SWORD....PICTURES ARE LIES....VIDEOS BRAINWASH
Keep the internet, rid of social media. Chaz was thinking the entire internet. Two different things
Getting rid of social media is a pipe dream. It’s not going anywhere. I honestly believe it’s brought the average intellect down. My hope is it’ll lose its appeal over time and people will get back to interaction with other people again. It’s common for 20 year olds to not have any friends now because of it.

Restricting social media based on what certain people do sounds similar to banning guns and alcohol for everyone because of how some misuse it.
Love the video but why does it sound like someone is crumbling paper in the sound? Is it just me?
Gold medal
Good for business, bad for culture
Honestly as someone who apart from UA-cam never uses social media, I wouldn't care for it being banned. I think if it were banned it may resolve a few problems. Or better yet a law should be introduced where any extremely toxic behaviour or words should lead to an instant Internet ban. It may seem childish to do but if you ask me, it's these morons' access to the internet that cause the problems rather than the media itself.
13:43 like the saying, "the heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart" which is why we need God in our lives...🤔
Social media can be good. It has 🎉 me.
great episode today i think social media should be controlled not bannded yes its double edge sword indeed i only use facebook and instagram only dont use tick tok or twitter if you use social media responsably thats fine but not responsably is a problem and i use social media responsably here infact im able to talk to my friends from school i went to thanks to social media as well and friends i know
Parents need to keep their kids off the internet.
Kids are exposed to things they never should be exposed to.
The internet brings evil into the home.
I agree completely. My biggest regret is going on Facebook 😬
My vote is to get rid of social media
I wouldn't stop it thete are two sides to every coin, just my opinion
I used to be a bouncer downtown Detroit. I once went up to a group of beautiful women in a booth . They had a basket full of booze great music men all around.. they were all on their phones. Then I was a jerk for telling them to enjoy the night get of your phones .
True story...
Love Ron D’n
See you next time ❤
Michael and Chazz. I love all these videos but love when you both converse. I agree w/ everything you both said, everything. I do love youtube. They do have guidelines and tv really went down the tubes. I've learned so much on youtube from credible youtubers. What I don't like about youtube are those ppl who know it all and know nothing.

It's all out of control and shows me how many narcs there are in this world. Sad. The suicides, sadly I agree. I'd love to be young again but was blessed I really growing up had fun! Had social skills, etc. Dating sites, pedo land. I could go on and on. Thank you both for putting this out there. I'd like to see you both do more on this. Love you both!!!! God Bless! 💖
I’m all for personal freedom, but I also see that most people can’t control themselves and are falling victim to this horrible trend. Sometimes the child needs disciplined. Ban em
Banned them all I wouldn't miss social media one bit
24 and you have my vote, the distraction and destruction outweighs any benefit to the mass online socialisation
Interesting conversation. Lunacy with regard to transgender participating in woman's sports, who has allowed this madness. There definitely should be an age limit for children, but a lot of parents are not going to cooperate too busy. A lot of young girls, more so than boys I think rely on how many likes they get for their images they post it creates low self esteem. The filters they use on their images also. Bullying online now, nearly every child has a phone nowadays and something embarrassing could be posted and shared and no way of stopping and retrieving it straight away. Alot of stress on children nowadays.
They’re on social media complaining about social media
Throw it away and don’t look back
The youth of are times are addicted to there cell phones and other devices that connect to .Its very concerning
My Vote: Get Rid of it! Social Media is creating anti-social behavior.
Get real & specific men & women "nuf said!
Both of you are absolutely right! Too many opinions with no historic background, no respect or decency. Only a return to Almighty God could give us a snowball's chance!
Get rid of it
Thicker skin helps too. Victimhood is promoted over personal responsibility. All the bs rolls off with the proper aptitudes.
I think social media is OK maybe they order band the comments and interaction between people. I think social media is good for gaining information about news current events, etc..
I have a tonne of respect for these two fine gentlemen, but to blame the tool for the problem is always the easy way out.
Imagine knives should be banned because more stabbings occur these day.
The reason society has broken down is because parents believe in allowing their children to do as they please from a young age.
My wife and I have always had limits on the time & how its to be used by the children. We made sure family time was paramount etc.
Our family has zero social media problems because it was nipped in the bud from the start. Parents need to accept responsibilty for how their children are behaving and not blaming the tool or expect he Gov to fix their family problem.
As a callow Pacific Islands ke'iki, we have NO "smart phone"(dumb sheeple), and do all our comms via email. We are on NO SM platform of any kind. Never, ever. My kupuna advised me: 1.) Worry only about things you can do something about, 2.) Focus on gratitude, and you'll be a lot happier in life. F*ck yeah! A hui hou kakou.😎🌴🌺
I think that video games are far more dangerous for young children but they are like the gateway drug to social media.
Banning it because you can’t parent your kids isn’t a good enough reason. There are countless small businesses that count on TikTok and instagram to share their product. It’s a huge tool and helps keeps the American dream alive. As far as the whole Chinese government thing goes, I doubt they are more inclined to stick their noses in my business than our own government. But that’s just me.
The horse has left the stables. How about parents being better parents?
It’s actually Antisocial Media”.
My vote is get rid of it. And bring back the rotary phone.
I’m pretty sure someone tried to ban the printing press, the cat is out of the bag men we have to try to reassert conservative or more commonly know as common sense values.
👍👍
It is the Same as Don't, and is the Opposite of Do
" { Do not } love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - is not of the Father but is of the world.
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it ; but he who does the will of God
abides { forever } . "
The last sentence is a little hint for those who have a working brain,
and are able to see { beyond } the tip of their nose. ✝✔
What does do not mean ?
It means { do not } .
It is the same as don't, and is the opposite of do.
Hey guys, the only way our young would actually use their brain, it would have to have an app. No I’m friggin serious, these laptops and phones have turned their brains to mush. Ever have one of them try to give you change after their register took a dump, it’s pretty sad actually.
How is this even debatable??? Its 💯 ruined society. I grew up in the 80s. Outside playing with friends. ( was never in the house). These kids today are in the basement on there phones with this garbage 🗑️. AWFUL!
Talk about the genocide going on in Gaza
I only use Facebook for my family that I don't live by
I don't know about banned that is too dictatorial but it definitely should have an age restriction
Social media can be good and useful, but unhealthy if young people are on it all day long.
Although I vote to shutt down all the social media platforms... I know is not going to happen... however it should be age limit to it. I am a mother of 14 year old twin boys and I am very strickt in how much time they are spending on phones etc. Our school forbid the phones in the school, which is really good. But moreover we all have to build the kids up to be a healthy human beings and to learn how to make desicions and use abd chose what society is offering now.
Second thing - please get rid of Biden ASAP, for the sake of a whole world... not really sure Trump is the best choice... but, honestly, America is lacking in a real leaders for decades... take care guys. Love the podcast.
Unfortunately like a most things. It’s a double edge sword. You have so much knowledge at the tips of your fingers. But on the other end you have keyboard warriors creating issues and not taking any accountability. The world is not what it used to be. It almost feels like a race to the bottom unfortunately.
