This conversation was so delightful and incredibly important, I am grateful for your willingness to engage with experts regardless of their faith. I'm a huge fan of Jonathan Haidt!

I live in the Congo and kids are all on their phones here too. Lord have mercy on us.

really good conversation! I love to see Christians and atheists being respectful and listening to each other. If you learn nothing else from this interview, take away the virtue of cordial communication.

As musicians we have had a similar transition from paper to tablets, and with this one, I’m ok with it 😊

Jonathan- you were created to glorify God He is the master creator of all things. And the savior of all who believe

Smartphones and social media have become part of peoples' identities. It's a train that might not be able to stop at this point; it's so integrated into peoples lives, and even churches, businesses, schools, governments, etc. The workbook called 30 Days Without Social Media by Harper Daniels as a nice relaxation.

On girls and looks, when you see a little bitty girl, with her hair fixed, and her pretty dress, holding on to parent's hand, try saying "You are such a smart little girl!" Then watch the eyes of both the child and the parent. Do I tell little cute-as-a-bugs-ear boys "you are such a cutie? so handsome." Yes, I whisper it but not to them and they don't pay any attention anyway. Exclaim about an accomplishment? Oh yeah, they like that!

There is an interesting problem in South Korea. As far as I know some studies show that suicide rate among older people is growing. The reason is that a lot of elderly people are left by their children who grow up and move to bigger cities in search of a better life and jobs. Elderly people, who have been influenced by Confitius, don't save money for retirement, hoping that they will be taken care of, but spend all their money on their children. So as a result elderly people are alone and lonely and poor that makes them depressed and more inclined to commit suicide. I think one of the reasons is that South Korea remaind poor for many centuries but had a rapid economic growith for several decades. It grew economically, but it seems the social area didn't catch up with that.

As I was waking up.... 50 percent asleep...some interesting thought came to my mind, the second thought was this is interesting thought, don´t forget it. that we as humans shouldn´t judge each other because each of us got completelly different experiences about some topics therefore we actually judge other person, because we are assuming subconsciously that they must have exactly the same experiences as we have, therefore we always think "i am right, they are wrong" it never occures to us, the person reacts differently because they had different experiences. but the thing is nobody is right or wrong if they had different experiences etc. World starts to heal if we will realize others have different experiences, and if they would understand our experience or opinion, we would understand their experience or opinion.. then there is a third side the possible bigger truth, that is genuine, not full of confusion, therefore people who do meditation are able to change their habits and mindset and feel healthier and happier. Scientists say 50 percent of our memories are not truth, because the mind uses to assume things etc
