Youre acting like using social media is "not your fault". Kids nowadays KNOW theyre adiccted to social media, they KNOW thats why they cant concentrate, but they act like they cant do anything about it.
Kids need vices when we force excessive stressors on them
Same as adults
Our society is setup to keep everyone burnt out and irritatable, and it would be a lot worse without our vices.
We can fix this whenever we feel like removing unnecessary stressors from people's lives
When people regularly get excess leisure time they will choose to read books, instead of the quick hits of dopamine they get from social media that take way less time and energy commitment than a book.
