The great rewiring: is social media really behind an epidemic of teenage mental illness? The evidence is equivocal on whether screen time is to blame for rising levels of teen depression and anxiety. (www.nature.com)

Blaming teenage mental illness on social media feels to me like the boomers are trying to find a different scapegoat than all the factors caused by their own stupidity, greed and destruction of human habitat.

So. . .where's your evidence? Or are you, just like Haidt, currently seeking evidence for your tale?

[–] slampisko@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

My guy, you are asking me to provide evidence for the claim that something feels to me a certain way. You do realize how silly that is?

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You answered my question: it's a tale seeking evidence.

As is almost entry comment on Lemmy. What's your point?

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's you're exactly like the boomers you are attacking.

So where's your evidence?

Evidence of what? You mean what you just wrote?
