ref: "the new tobacco"

this last year i'm seeing very concerning behavior in students in the 14-20 range. complete addiction to their phones. very deep interests in things i was completely unaware that they existed. similar to how when i started noticing anime girlfriends/waifus in 2016.

about 40% are deep in discord communities where i literally cannot figure out a single sentence of what they're talking about.

if society doesn't do something, and soon, say goodbye to the cognitive ability of a large chunk of future generations.
