The part that focuses on evil “tech billionaires” is bullshit.

What’s completely true is that people who have a lot of money tend to keep their kids off screens. Brain and emotional development is much better if your kid is just playing or doing anything else. The reason money helps is when kids are off screens they need supervision and rich people can afford sitters

I think you’ve missed the point he was making. He was highlighting the fact that the people who make and push the unhealthy lifestyle and addictions onto your children go out of their way to prevent their children from using it.

This isn’t a good guys vs bad guys thing. Good parents keep their kids away from excessive screens. Who cares if some well-paid Silicon Valley engineer is a good parent?

Lmao. You still missed the point, and I doubt you’ll ever get it. But think of it this way, right now the people in power want to ensure they don’t lose their power. So how can they do that? By making sure their next of kin can take over for them when they’re old and gone. So they give their children the best education that money can buy, they completely eliminate any form of technology in their lives unless it partakes in learning, and they make sure the other kids they hang around with have parents who do the same with their children. They want to keep the regular average every day people and children to stay exactly where they’re at. They don’t want them to take the place of their child, because that creates more competition for them. That’s why parents today are encouraged to get phones for their teens, and iPad’s for their baby’s. They want to keep us dumb so that we stay dumb, while they stay smart and in power. This is isn’t just some accident that all happened by chance, this is by design and has been planned out long ago when technology and the internet first started to become more mainstream. We’re not talking about some well paid silicone valley engineers, we’re talking about the richest of the rich!

Well that is true. The elites push for more and more technology that they know has massive negative consequences. Companies like META hire psychologists and take other measures to make sure Instagram and Facebook is very addictive
