    Quite the strawman you have there.

    You are creating things I didn’t say to argue against, like saying I created a strawman.

    I cherry picked nothing. You specifically said that there is nothing parents can do because people much smarter than them are working against them

    Actual quotes by you

    are you confident that regular parents have a chance of competing with them

    This is very much a throw your hands up in the air comment

    just commenting on the troupe that parents is responsible for their own kids

    Calling the expectation that parents actually parent their kid is a trope

    the reality is that they don’t know what impact it has on their kids mental health and how damaging short term dopamine addiction is for their children

    As I pointed out to refute this, we indeed do know what dopamine addiction does to children

    Still parenting is hard, especially when you are competing with phds in behavioral science or psychologists that help these platforms design their addiction mechanism.

    Again. This is throwing your hands up in the air. It more or less says, I can’t properly parent my kid because people smarter than me are working against me.

    Not understanding the tech is an excuse. You can take classes. Watch videos. Join a parent group. Find people who do understand the tech. But throwing your hands up and saying you will rely on the government, is abdication of responsibility because for every law passed, the assholes will pay some governmental stooge to build in 3 loopholes and things are no better.

    These laws you want are just D.A.R.E. 2.0 and they’ll work just as well.
