Jeremy, Cameron Akrami, and Curt Storring discuss the problem with "luxury beliefs" around screens, kids, and the family in general. Screens are incredibly destructive if left unchecked in the hands of our children...but is that simply a family problem, or is it big enough that it requires government oversight?
On this episode, we talk about:
0:29 Rob Henderson and Luxury Beliefs
4:55 Is regulating technology a family problem or a societal problem?
8:05 Are screens the first order or second order issue?
11:03 Is this so unique it requires a unique solution, or is there too much risk in government oversight?
15:18 Why cultural norms and stories really matter
18:31 Jonathan Haidt's 4 rules
22:52 You have to play offense and defense at the same time
24:29 There is hope
