The only reason that more adults aren’t making noise about this is because most of them don’t want to come to terms with their own screen addictions. No one wants to recognize how social media and gaming is fully comparable to substance addictions… and in some ways, more dangerous. There’s no comedown. Just constant dopamine hits with no actual work put in. Surreal pleasure in artificial worlds that makes real life less and less appealing. Raging out at the slightest inconvenience in the real world because all the black-mirror brain knows is pleasure.
