if you do anything to do with communicating on the Internet this is worth a read and then a reread and then one more read for good measure (woof.) https://hilariusbookbinder.substack.com/p/the-average-college-student-today

I'm sure this is true, but I'm also sure this same article was written during the advent of the TV, probably even during the advent of the radio as well. I think this tends to be a pendulum that swings. Just my guess though.

I’d like this to be true, but this guy’s longitudinal experience through the eras of the birth of the internet gives me pause. Why would he write this now instead of at the birth of the internet or the app era yknow?

That's an excellent point, too. I just have a hard time believing it's as bad as this guy is making it seem. But I'm a perennial optimist and it has bitten me before, ha. I think that things like this tend to correct themselves via counterculture movements and hippies. A supposed 'return to authenticity' and 'nature'. I think we venture out, and sometimes we reel ourselves back in.

I was about to say “I hope so” but then I realized I honestly don’t really think it needs to be “corrected” in the traditional sense I mostly view it as a marker of a new world and a new way of living that will come along with it I still think some ideas are useful enough to transcend time and the best way to understand those is thinking deeply about them so I am not sure how to square the past with the future tbh
