I think the social media ban for kids 13-16 is going to be a global disaster for Lefties Globally
And I'll tell you why
The kids of today whether you like it or Not are Digital Natives
They were BORN with Facebook on this Planet and are technically talented
Which means a sizable percentage of them will know it exists, will be exposed to it, and many of them will just get in via a variety of means
That basically means your now going to have 2 types of kids
The ones that break the rules and have access
And the ones that follow the rules and don't
So now we have a dual track of information flow going on
If you take a group of humans anytime in history and one group has access to glorious libraries and the other has zero access to information what do you think happens
We know what happens. The first group accelerates in their capabilities. The second flounders.
We've measured the negative aspects of social media (which are real BTW) - but what we haven't measured is the sophisticated informational advantage it also offers.
You can literally learn rocket science on YouTube. You can learn AI directly from Alec Kaparthy. You can see in real time global events, economic / technological / political unfold.
And you think the kids that only have access to canned Curriculum at School will accelerate anywhere without that?
When I say 12 to 16 I used to listen to Late Night Radio. Complex topics. Deep discussions about the entire World. I was reading RSS news etc and listening to American Radio not long after that as the Internet Developed.
To think someone would Teleport back and tell me that was banned would be absurd.
Any and all technical block on school computers was easily circumvented by just getting your own computer.
So what this will do is create even more creative agents of technology. And once they learn how to operate in stealth -- they'll apply that skill to everything else.
With AI in their pocket -- that mindset will accelerate in every other way.
Truth is we're going to see a rise of the Super Student in my view. They'll crush the traditional curriculum like a Tin Can.
They won't just ask AI to do their trigonometry. They'll just ask AI to write software to teach them Trigonometry in an hour so they can go work on something else.
And what do you think the Kids that think this way are going to think of the Karen's trying to stop them. They're not going to be cooked.
