New study shows that TikTok and Insta trap young people, who feel they MUST use the platforms because… everyone else does. But if offered the chance to PAY to have everyone in their college delete the apps, most on TikTok, and half on Insta, would pay.
Also: most students say they’d PREFER to live in a world with no TikTok or Insta. Even most active users of Insta say that.
Social media is not a normal consumer product. The negative spillover effects are enormous, not just on non-users, but on active users as well, the authors conclude.
The business models of Meta and TikTok require trapping young users in this way. The presence of major external costs imposed on others--especially children--is the textbook example of why societies impose regulations, and why class action lawsuits exist.
See the summary, and the full working paper, here:

How can you handle — and I mean actually *handle* — being triggered by politics?
I am sooo excited about the episode of @ABraverWay, dropping in just a few hours, that tackles exactly this — just in time for Thanksgiving. 🦃
It's not about how we *talk* about politics.
It's about how we listen.
To *ourselves.*
In a new episode coming out tomorrow, we talk about how we can handle being "triggered?" @moniguzman
talks to a therapist who has learned loads from his patients about how we physically react to intense political disagreement… and what we can do about it.
Ooh, a podcast for brave new world. ;-)
Our first three episodes are now up on youtube!
1. How did Lincoln do it?
2. How do you bridge a legacy of pain?
3. How can you talk politics in a divided family?

In the words of @moniguzman, it's "politically risky to champion healthy disagreement with officials across the aisle in a toxically polarized society." But last week, @GovCox did just that.
Great piece in @dcexaminer from @Julian_Liberty.

"The mood of the four-day Gettysburg convention was surprisingly hopeful given the enormity of the task before the delegates.
But in the words of one Braver Angels leader, the first big step in pushing back against today’s rigid polarization and fierce negativity is to recognize that the nation is facing a crisis."

At #NGAAnnualMeeting, Yuval Levin, w/@AEI, says he loves the name #DisagreeBetter because the “purpose of politics is to work together even when we do disagree” in order to develop solutions to real problems. nga.org/disagree-better
We were lucky to be delegates to the @braverangels convention at @gettysburg college last week. One of the best breakouts that we *didn't* get to attend was Polarization and Propaganda with @jon_rauch. #werenotasdifferentasyouthink youtube.com/watch?v=EOcM8MPN…

This is my final request that you read my many-months-long investigation into the far-right militias masquerading as emergency preparedness/relief orgs and why that doesn't bode well for a future plagued by super-charged natural disasters. #EMGTwitter grist.org/extreme-weather/bo…
Exciting news!
