eris' favorite determinist<p>just read Jonathan Haidt's "The Anxious Generation"... i have thoughts</p><p>it was a less a serious analysis of youth mental health and more a boomer panic attack dressed up in footnotes. </p><p>his big idea? that smartphones and social media broke childhood around 2010, and absolutely nothing else contributed. not inequality, not climate collapse, not mass shootings, not racism, not the slow-burn apocalypse of capitalism. just... the phone.</p><p>you almost expect him to add "get off my lawn" as a chapter title.</p><p>he calls it "the great rewiring". which sounds like a sci-fi reboot but is actually Haidt's excuse to blame every modern adolescent crisis on TikTok and Insta.</p><p>depression? ... screens.<br>gender identity questions? ... screens.<br>girls under pressure? ... not patriarchy, just selfies.<br>queer kids, poor kids, disabled kids? ... briefly mentioned, then memory-holed for getting in the way of the thesis.<br>the data? ... cherry-picked and dressed in objectivity drag.</p><p>Haidt ignores anything that doesn't sync perfectly with his smartphone-doom narrative. his solutions? ban smartphones till 14, kill social media until 16, and throw kids into "risky play" like it’s 1956 and there's a jungle gym made of asbestos behind every school. it's policy by Norman Rockwell painting.</p><p>for all his talk of "norms", Haidt utterly refuses to explore how different communities actually experience the digital world. he's too busy assembling a diorama out of rotary phones and stoic quotes. </p><p>his "cure" is useless to the kids who need it most because they're not even visible in the diagnosis.</p><p>worst of all, Haidt frames it all like this is "just the science talking" while serving up moral panic with a stoic flavor.</p><p>of course, it's **always** the stoics.</p><p>he doesn’t just ignore structural violence, he actively erases it. his "help" is only for kids with middle-class parents and ipad guilt.</p><p>also... "the mars hypothesis".... yes, really.</p><p>he spends pages describing how raising kids today is like raising them on mars. because of gravity. because of isolation. because apparently analogies about actual child development weren't dramatic enough, and he needed to imagine Earth as a space colony of lord of the flies being destroyed by Insta.</p><p>if anyone ever tells you that social science is boring, just show them the part where Haidt earnestly compares TikTok to a breakdown in atmospheric pressure.</p><p>this isn't a serious intervention. it's tech-blaming fanfic from a man who lost an argument to an algorithm and decided to write a book about it. and if Jonathan Haidt really wanted to help, maybe next time he should stop diagnosing the future like it’s a software glitch and actually ask the kids what they think.</p><p>no wonder it's on so many conservative parenting book lists... the scholarly equivalent of someone shouting "SATAN IS IN THE SNAPCHAT" while shaking a fist at the sky.</p><p>fuck this guy.</p><p>edited to add a part</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SkipIt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SkipIt</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NotWorthThePaperItsPrintedOn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NotWorthThePaperItsPrintedOn</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bookreview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookreview</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bookreviews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookreviews</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/anxiousgeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anxiousgeneration</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>book</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/haidt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>haidt</span></a></p>
Well_Worth_A_Read<p>A reporter returns to her childhood home in Jacknife, Louisiana, to care for her mother. Word around town is that she's gone crazy. People like to gossip in Jacknife, and they all have their opinions, but not many are interested in talking when a body is found face down in the swamp. Most chalk it up to a girl who lived a rough life and died the way that she lived. <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/bookreview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookreview</span></a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://wellwortharead.blogspot.com/2025/04/our-last-wild-days-by-anna-bailey.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wellwortharead.blogspot.com/20</span><span class="invisible">25/04/our-last-wild-days-by-anna-bailey.html</span></a></p>

Terri K O 🍁<p>Apparently I resized the photo but never wrote a post to go with last week's library returns. These were returned March 23, 2025.</p><p>My books: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga 1-5. Tragic stories of fighting overwhelming evil are *mysteriously appealing* this year. Honestly I wasn't sure if I should expect to get much out of this because I never played this particular game, but this series was amazing, beautiful, touching and so good that I immediately got books 6-11 out after returning these. I'd have enjoyed it even if playing Echoes of Wisdom hadn't rekindled my love for the franchise.</p><p>Not pictured: Installment Immortality - the InCryptid series remains one of my favourites ever. I particularly liked Mary working on ghost taxonomy because despite being the babysitter clearly the rest of the family has rubbed off on her. And I liked the novella at the end.</p><p>Kid stuff: <br>Mostly beloved repeats with two new ones: <br>Noodle Conquers Comfy Mountain - sequel to No Bones Day and a huge hit with my kid. I expect we'll be getting this one out repeatedly until we get our own copy (alas, Powell's didn't have it) </p><p>Animal Crossing manga - honestly kind of stupid but funny enough in short bedtime story doses.</p><p><a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>library</span></a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
Chad Schultz<p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a> for "Books Do Furnish a Life: An Electrifying Celebration of Science Writing" by Richard Dawkins<br>Meh<br>Richard Dawkins has done great work. This, however, is a random potpourri of conversations, forwards, book reviews, with no overall structure, some of which have been in other books.<br>It's like he decided he needed to write another book, but had no ideas, so he swept all the loose papers on his desk into a box and sent it to a publisher.<br>There are some good pieces in here. I particularly enjoyed hearing about "The Clergy Project," to provide emotional support to preachers who lost their faith.<br>However, I would direct readers to Dawkins' more notable works, not this one.</p>

tessa 📚🏹 The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 🏹<br> <br> ⭐ 5 out of 5<br> <br> I stayed up past midnight finishing this lol, whoops<br> <br> My review:<br> I first read The Hunger Games when I was in high school. That's been at least 15+ years ago, and I am so pleasantly surprised by how well this book has held up. I was daydreaming about getting back home and reading it while I was at work this week 😅<br> <br> ‼️ SPOILERS BELOW ‼️<br> <br> This story is pretty brutal for something that is widely considered young adult, and I'm not complaining about the rating, I was just surprised that I didn't remember how gruesome some scenes were! Rue's death in particular really got me, and I'm sure part of that is because I have a kid of my own now.<br> <br> I really loved Katniss so much too. I don't think I really appreciated how good her character is when I was younger, but to me she came across as a perfect main character. She's talented and brave, but also flawed, angsty, and definitely has the attitude of a 16 year old, despite her circumstances.
