Mostly, yes a lot!

Writing about my thoughts, opinions and positions has helped me understand them even better!

You’re rarely going to change anyone’s position online, as sadly most aren’t arguing in good faith. BUT responding to rebuttals from others and questions (good faith or bad faith) leads to a very cool intellectual exercise where you get to probe your positions from so many different angles.

If things become toxic or brain-rotty, then you can just disengage without explanation! Kinda cool actually!!!

This article is so clearly not acting in good faith.

• None of the cited data that tries to assert "less cognitive ability " has any sort of control group??? Huh???
• Sure, some studies (with proper control groups n stuff) are cited. But they’re specifically for other topics like mental healgh due to social media usage and so on. None that have anything to do with cognitive ability. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TRY TO PAINT SCHOOL LAPTOPS AS A NEGATIVE.

Down vote me all you want, but the folks in the comments must be a little ashamed for spreading and supporting sensational bullshit cuz it supports their worldview. This behaviour is no different than boomers posting “articles” about how climate change is bullshit and how vaccines cause autism.

And not ONE person critically analyses this article??? Seriously??? Everyone’s on the bandwagon of “yeah yeah, tech is destroying them keeyds and making them stupider”. So uncool.
