[@MayTheOddsBeInYourFavor]

I just wanted to comment that it’s not as simple as disconnecting children from the internet and the world. The most important element to these kids and their high intellect and self-sufficiency is the presence of an educated and trained individual like their father who can safely and effectively and astutely guide them in all manner of self-education and self-reliance. If you don’t have that, I will point out to you that there are plenty of people in forgotten towns without reliable access to the internet who aren’t all that smart. Self-reliant, sure but….not capable of the kind of logic and higher thinking the characters display in the movie.

"Deprived kids of internet" like it's some sort of human right that no one has been able to live without for centuries ...

[@Tigatron1448]

No, but to deny that it's one of the most incredible inventions in human history is delusional. Sure, not everything that has come from it is positive, but most of those issues can be avoided if educated on how to use it properly. Like many other things in the past, you shouldn't blame the invention when it's the people misusing it who are the problem. We did live without it for thousands of years, but that doesn't mean our lives haven't been significantly improved as a result of it. We are better off with it than without.

I get some people are all doomer and there's some areas where the internet has made some things very unhealthy, but to say every aspect of life has gotten worse is crazy. Especially when there's so many things that are easy to validate as improvements with one of the absolute biggest being the availability of information. That alone is so powerful that I shouldn't have to explain why there'd be so many obvious areas of life that are improved by that alone.

They killed a deer in the summer, well have you ever wondered why no one hunts in the summer? WORMS

[@moralityisnotsubjective5]

No. Deer hunting overlaps with fall because that is the time of year when deer are old enough to live independently from their mother. Most deer are born around May, so if the mother were taken by hunting or predation in the fall, their offspring would be able to survive on their own.

Watch the movie!!! He doesn't steal to steal ... for him it's more like satire. All that processed food is garbage in his eyes, companies should pay people instead, because it ends up making them sick.

[@stonedscared8461]

Yeah. There's no record number of depressed children in modern era society than in any other time in History.

[@Tigatron1448]

​@stonedscared8461 well... you're not wrong, but it's also more complicated than that. I'm not sure there is a record number of depressed children in modern society or not, but it's possible. Statistically there are a lot more but is that because it's more accepted for people to talk about these days and kids are more open? Or is it truly because depression levels have actually increased? When I grew up depression wasn't something people talked about and it was generally looked down on. As someone who has suffered from depression and tried to take my own life in the past, I think it's great that we live in a society that is more tolerant/understanding of the disease. Not to mention technology has connected us more and allows us to keep track of statistics better. That combined with depression being "accepted" and more openly talked about is definitely a factor as to why it seems like it might be a more prevalent issue. My own son started showing signs of it at a young age, but he doesn't just bottle his feelings up inside like I was conditioned to do, he openly talks about it and we work through his feelings. There's pros and cons to pretty much everything in life and while depression is definitely a major issue, we've made a lot of steps in the right direction. We've made some wrong ones as well though. So I'm not sure if there's actually more depressed people or not.

[@shawnbell3468]

@@Tigatron1448 Yes when the medical system breaks down an issue into a "spectrum" there are now many more issues they can give drugs for. Just like a doctors job is now broken down so when you see the doc and wants a blood test he is not allowed to do it as they need to make more money so they divide up all little jobs one doctor should be doing. People just need to take a step back and look at the big picture.

Ironic, as Buddhism (learn to spell it first, if you’re going to defend it against insults 😂😂😂😂) would teach not to feel insulted by words. Nor would it matter what you do with someone’s ashes, which by the way are just some ground down bone fragments, as everything organic is burned away. And don’t call someone else “phycotic” , when once AGAIN you don’t know how to spell the word you’re using to insult someone. Which, by the way, also makes you a hypocrite.

[@STAWTEREHWYREVE-dx7si]

Just watch the entire movie before talking nonsense. I practiced Buddhism over a decade, it's the dead mom's sarcastic way of saying SCREW U. There are different 'schools' in Buddhism, most of them will teach you that nothing really matters, nothing is meant to last forever. Humanity is still clinging to religion and the illusion of control because we all fear death, but how can you live your life to it's full potential when death is on every corner!?

As they saying goes, “wish in one hand, and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first”. You’re a parent. Your kids only want to do that all day, because that’s how you’ve raised them. Easy to do what the movie did, when you don’t even give them any access to any of it. And no, it’s not making them any smarter. But once again, that’s supposed to be YOUR job as a parent. Instead of watching random videos and making random comments on social media lol. As another saying goes, “practice what you preach”, because I don’t think it’s making YOU smarter.

[@STAWTEREHWYREVE-dx7si]

Jamesbizs Beautiful words my friend, I really like your way of thinking. It's so rare these days to find people like you in the comment sections.

[@Tigatron1448]

​@@jamesbizsI agree, practice what you preach. I'd disagree with you that the internet isn't making kids smarter... the internet/TV aren't to blame and isn't the problem. How people raise their kids and teach them to use those TOOLS is the issue. My son is much smarter because of the internet as he uses it to educate himself on things that are interesting to him. Does he always use it in an ideal matter? No, but neither do I. I set a bad example with technology early on in his life and had to come to my own realization that I'm the parent and it's my duty to show him the right path. Since then I've made a conscious effort to do better and be a more active presence in his life. Now technology is something we use to enhance our lives, not escape from it.

[@Tigatron1448]

I would encourage you to think hard about what it is you want for your children, maybe pray about it too... then put a plan into action. It's never too late to make positive changes in your life. Simply sitting around and wishing for things to be different wont accomplish anything, you need to simply put in the effort. If all your kids want to do is watch TV/be on the internet then it's your RESPONSIBILITY to show them a different path. Simply denying them access to it won't solve your problems. You need to be the example and demonstrate why they should be interested in other things. It will take a lot of effort, patience, and time. It's difficult, but very much worth it. I had similar struggles with my own son and it seemed like nothing I said to him got through. It wasn't until I made changes in my own life and made efforts to be much more involved in his did I begin to see him grow. I had to show him the way and practice what I preached. If you ever need any help or encouragement, you're more than welcome to simply ask. I'll do what I can to try and help you. You're not alone or powerless in this struggle. You can do this.
