      Absolutely. As a parent I feel like the time is coming when our kids will basically tell us that unfettered access to technology has left them traumatized. Snapchat connects them to all their friends and also connects to their insecurities and loneliness. It’s a poison that you can’t avoid. An addiction that you can’t overcome because it holds all of your joy and pain at once.

      Personally, I feel like I have a balance in my 40’s but I feel really bad for kids right now. They are fucked.

      I hope someday they stop listening to their parents, overthrow the corporations and billionaires in power and get rid of all the phony fucks in politics. We have not prepared a good world for them. We failed them.

      This, this and this. Remember this? That’s what we’ll look like to future generations when they look back at our Metagram Tweet Toksold-timey ad for cigarettes: More doctors smoke camel's than any other cigarette.*
