[en] Haidt: dramatic global decay in cognition, attention spans, civic life

"Social psychologist Jonathan #Haidt presented a forceful analysis of the #damage #smartphones and social media are doing to our #cognition, our civic fabric, and our #children’s #wellbeing ..."

"... our collective inability to put our phones away, our #compulsion to check social media ... is causing a host of societal problems" ... "far beyond any rise in #anxiety and #depression."

"... the #destruction of the human capacity to pay #attention. ... if we can’t focus or stay on a task for more than 30 seconds."

this is so weird to me. John was at #NYU Law while i was there finishing my BA. we crossed paths often. he really was one of those people who could disappear in a crowd.

like, he biked and skateboarded to school; hung out in the different cafés in the area.

i have no idea what arrangement his family had with the city and the university, but his time at NYU was the opposite of all of this.

i do have to say, in #NYC we have a weird dynamic: the more famous you are, the more we ignore you.

🔥📚 Very happy to have had a great conversation this morning with the brilliant Quinn Slobodian about the Dark Enlightenment movement, post liberal tech giants and modern state. It was so stimulating to hear him #NYU !

It’s just so interesting that Trump had to really twist your arm about ending all that child gendercare (you were one of the first to cave)….considering NYU shows up over 1000 times on his fucking outlook. #NYU #epstein
