An article (https://jonathanhaidt.substack.com/p/social-media-mental-illness-epidemic) worth reading from Jonathan Haidt, about social media being the major cause of the mental illness in teen girls. Well, the cause is most measurable in teen girls, social media is also bad for other genders and age groups. I am thankful that this article is published.

In 2016 I started working on Quiet (https://5am.is/quiet/), it started out as a way to block social media websites in Safari. Because I saw the need for it, for myself, but also for other people.

I was announcing #QuitSocialMedia and made posts saying how to stay in contact with me. Any other studies or reasons to give to my friends that remain on the platform?

Can someone find me the episode number, or original source, I recall #Adam in the last few weeks on the #NoAgenda podcast referencing an increase in hospital emergency admissions relating to mental health (and university councilors) among (current) Generation Z(?) students.
