Hear me out, we build suburbs that are isolating and far away from people, requiring a car. You can’t drive until you’re 16. Parents now schedule playdates and anything fun. What does this all mean? Kids are now more isolated and alone than ever.

Our parents talk about going out until the streetlights came on but would never allow kids to do that now, and even then kids friends live miles away. We punish kids who do get together with no loitering and calling them hooligans up to no good.

Literally what do these parents expect?

Here in Seattle we made public transit free for kids under 18, and it has honestly transformed the neighborhoods! I see kids out walking, biking, getting bubble teas and ice cream, and they’re all so happy now! I had a girl walk up to me and ask if the bus came in 5 or 15 minutes. They’re absolutely using it, meeting up with their friends, and loving it I overhear conversations of all the places they want to go now to hang out.

Mobility for kids has been a huge benefit for us, I hope other places take notice

That’s this whole gaming disorder nonsense I called out as fake, which it is in my opinion. It’s a Vitamin B¹ deficiency for mental health conditions (mostly caused by refined sugars), but schizophrenia is a Vitamin B³ deficiency due to eating too much wheat (due to it being converted to sugar), which depletes Niacin levels.

Oh, and to prevent video game addiction in teens, just don’t let them play video games until they’re out of high school. Problem solved.
