We need an undo-the-indoctrination-camp
smoking cigarettes at 18 Acohol at 21. Smartphone or tablet, at any age, but only after you take the course. It teaches either logic, constitution 101, and what you'd learn in boyscouts.
If you can catch a fish, filet it, recite thepreamble, and then identify the fallacy in snopes appeal to authority THEN maybe we can trust you to a fucking manipulation device.
Failure means you can't have a phone.
You can have laptop or desktop but 2 hours a day.
I think pretty much all of this would be avoided by teaching basic philosophy. Once you teach someone how to think and learn they go off on their own. But that's why it will never happen
Basic philosophy requires a higher intelligence than the populace possesses this is why it was studied in Greek and Latin at the university level but alas that was pre 1900.
This is also why I refuse to trust the science. They never learned philosophy so they cannot be trusted.
