They build the feed. You scroll it. They ban it at home.
Peter Thiel said: If you ask executives of social media companies "how much screen time do they let their kids use – there’s probably an interesting critique one could make."
Peter Thiel (as early investor in Facebook) restricts his children to 1.5 hrs/week of screen time (±13 minutes a day). As you can hear, the audience gasped hearing that metric.
Social media companies engineer infinite scroll -> the masses consume -> the platforms profit -> the executives send their kids to screen-free Waldorf schools
The social and financial ability to disconnect from infinite information is the ultimate marker for status in 2026 and beyond.
Analog childhoods are the new generational wealth.
And I believe we will have the same discussions about generative AI soon.
If you use AI blindly, it removes any intellectual and cognitive strugle which degrades base capability.
Therefore – just as with social media – extreme rationing is the only viable defense mechanism to preserve original thought, deep reasoning, human intuitive intelligence.
Perhaps it is best to limit AI use (especially but not exclusively for children) to a minimum.
Don't avoid social media, use it with intention. Don't avoid AI, use it with intention.
