But you can ignore it, get off social media and get of the PT board for sure.

I understand that. I gave up sports and TV in general last year and it’s made my life infinitely better.

Bradbury has a great story in “The Illustrated Man” about parents who always put their children in a simulator room and simply monitor their mental state. Eventually the simulation replaces the parents and kills them.

But how do you reach the masses with this message?

We have replaced parenting and general outside exploration and maturity necessary to a well rounded youth and inserted fake digital media and fear mongering.

Something in our society is broken. And it starts at home. Parents are too selfish. It’s easy to watch TV and refuse to play with your kids outside and not pay attention to their schoolwork, etc. it’s especially easy in an age where we are so completely absorbed into technology we don’t even notice the world around us anymore.

Parents for the good of their kids need to severely limit screens and force an end to laziness. Yea, your kids will fight it and scream at you. It’s your job to raise them correctly not pacify them constantly in the easiest way possible.
