Jack Doherty is a little monster. I used to live near kids who were given dirt bikes one year for Christmas, and I was in a neighborhood that was NOT structured for such noise and chaos. The kids filmed and streamed their acts, and the parents egged them on. People in the neighborhood stopped going for jogs, parents stopped taking their kids around in strollers, pet owners stopped walking their dogs, and it got worse. During lockdown, they were making noise at all hours of the day and night. Many of us had no control of our sleep schedule because of the loud motors and yelling, and it interfered with working from home. The police said it was a "gray area" and even though a majority of the neighborhood went to city council meetings to demand law changes, we were ignored. It was a risky time thanks to lockdown, so no one tried to pull any vigilante acts. I was able to pack up my family and move after nearly two whole years of unhinged hell, and other families left as well. Still, we shouldn't have had to uproot our lives because a bunch of worthless parents allowed their feral kids to raise hell while they (the parents) sat inside and got high and drunk.

[@Random-sk6hm]

@@ryanwright7545 I disagree. Even tho there's no morals, there are 2 things which do exist: social values and laws. While the two usually overlap, social values are occasionally ahead of laws (civil rights etc) and so the law is often playing catch-up. Protest is usually how we get the latter to match the former. It's in other things too like public perception of weed changing and thus laws were relaxed. Obviously with laws there's direct consequences but even social values have consequences too. For example, you'll be alienated or denigrated if you do socially unacceptable things.

[@senspartech3533]

I think youre on the right track. Kids can DEFINITELY be brought up to be tech savvy without the addiction and literal brain rot. In fact, Id even say that many in the younger generations are only tech savvy insofar as it enables them to consume content. If anything goes awry with that process, they are just as lost as a grandma trying to figure out how to get online😁 Not that you asked, but my personal suggestion (depending on her interests of course) is to get more involved with the vast capabilities that modern tech provides beyond content consumption. 3D printing, robotics, micro PCs, automation, programming, desktop CNCs, media servers, mesh networks (lookin at you LoRa), etc. My personal preference is to combine traditional, even ancient approaches with modern tech. So.. things like aquaponics (livestock + crops) with automation and robotics. Mixing wood/lumber with cutting edge robotics. Learn how to use advanced manufacturing like CNC.. but also work with hand tools (not even power tools). We can accomplish things that most cant even imagine because all that most people know are the worst aspects. But someone raised to think about all of it differently? They will imagine what they can build and create with the tools at their disposal. Rather than addiction to increasingly meaningless consumption and emotional volatility. Behaviors that are pursued in an attempt to fill the very void that they create.

I am of Gen Z, and I am SO happy my mother never gave me a phone until I was 17. I grew up with not these influencer bozos, but books. I started reading by age 2 by myself after my mother started reading to me when I was only a few months old. I by age 5 started reading science textbooks and watching Nat Geo and Al Jazeera. By age 12 I started reading stuff about human history and specifically conflicts in the 20th century. I knew stuff about American neo-imperialism, IS, European islamophobia, and so much more that I prolly should not be talking about. I am so lucky to not have a phone during that time.

[@Raelven]

The human personality isn't formed to cope with extreme levels of fame or fortune. Only a very evolved narcissistic personality can process and use fame in a regulated manner. People who begin as normal, or have a personality which is histrionic, or is otherwise disordered but not narcissist, tend to crumble under the pressure to be perfect in the eyes of millions of people who can elevate or destroy them. A sophisticated narcissistic personality already is certain they are perfect, and is not shaken by the pressure, believing they make no mistakes, and that things perceived as mistakes by others, are still a positive. Madonna, Taylor Swift, Alec Baldwin, Megan Markel, are examples of people who have a history of turning a negative into a positive, as they don't believe they can be wrong, and that negative attention is still attention, thus useful and "fuel" for their narcissistic personality. Very few can survive life on the pinnacle of their dreams.

A hundred years ago it was almost unheard of, let alone frequently intentional. Now it is common and the epidemic of essentially fatherless and motherless children, children without a "family" base let alone a two parents with multiple siblings "home base" is destroying society. Children are being raised without the benefit of learning their socialization place in society through the architecture of their family system. Not to mention the loss of our small town social structure! Now with covid they've removed even the social structure of the school group as well! No wonder we have a generation growing up right now who has almost no interpersonal socialization ability's. They quite literally have not been taught ANY!

Let’s not forget that 100 years ago we had wars 100x more often, women had less rights, disabled people had less rights, racism was less frowned upon, etc. Roundabout 200-300 years ago, slavery was way more common (it still exists now but to a lesser extent), etc. To say the newer gens always get worse is wrong, every Gen has good and bad, in fact modern times are way better to loose in than years ago.
