This argument that social media is destroying the youth is the same old tale as old as time. Everything has been destroying the youth and rotting their brains since before anyone on this page was born.

It's less than a cemtury old. Any older quote appears to be fake. It began with the boomers, who grew up on iron poisoned food, and it's been getting worse from the increasing lack of lead and other heavy metals. Similar events happened when an effective method of producing iron was discovered (people killed each other, and burnt almost the enrire civilization) and in late rome, when lead mining declined. High lead consumption was followed by eras of prosperity. You people really need to pull your heads out of your assess, and accept that the effects are too severe to be caused by some social bullshit trend, and the cause has to be biological (even if you disagree with me what the cause is)
