A Hunter-Gatherer in an Uncontacted Tribe
Candice L. Odgers: “Two things need to be said after reading The Anxious Generation. First, this book is going to sell a lot of copies, because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children’s development that many parents are primed to believe. Second, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing an epidemic of mental illness is not supported by science.”
Freddie deBoer: “I’m struck by the combination of the extreme certitude in which contemporary public morals are voiced, by our self-appointed morality police, and the profound lack of basic consistency or logic underlying who ends up socially indicted and who doesn’t.”
This, by Aella, is both ridiculous and interesting. Not a bad combination.
