    Maybe it just made me more aware of the true scale/extremes of existence on Earth so I can at least try to better place my experience & propaganda/ads I’m served in that context.

    Kids are remarkably resilient and adaptive, it’s like a whole evolutionary thing (not saying it can’t cause permanent damage, just that shielding causes extreme damage too - and folk later in life being unable to reconcile with the smallesta of changes in their world that they can’t do nothing about).

    Also, I’m assuming this is discussing pre-wall-gardened internet - being young and on specific ultra-processed for-profit platforms just develops a good consumer for the current oligarchy. Much like being raised by AI.
