<p>Partly agree. I agree that what makes old tech good is agency, but I find it strange that you offer as an example "handing a 5yo a phone with a documentary". Phones give you no agency, other than play and stop. They don't work for you, they work for their master (Google or apple).</p>

<p>It's not controversial, I've heard the same for about 10 years now. I still thinking they're wrong - people who need control cant really on social network apps. People who are just "consumers", sure, but those already don't know what a browser is, so it's not really a prediction about the future it's a statement about the present.</p>

<p>I didn't start by criticizing Israel, but my previous comment was criticism of Israel, when I said that yes, many Christian evangelicals are Zionists and there are more of them, as you like to say in order to muddle the water, but but I was saying that they weren't the originators of Zionism, Jews were. You were claiming that because there's more Christian evangelicals somehow that means something about Jews not being at fault? Complete nonsense.</p>

<p>That's another aspect of Zionism, which is that it's really not about defending Jews, it's about defending Israel. Even Jews like myself, when they criticize Israel they're immediately labeled Nazis. Really crazy stuff.</p>

<p>There's a causation that you're missing. Zionism was originally an exclusively Jewish movement. Christian evangelicals were pulled in latter on as useful idiots. So yes, Zionism is not exclusively a Jewish movement nowadays, because the Jewish element is doing a good job with their plan of finding and creating allies.</p>

<p>We agree on the facts. Christians outnumber etcetc. But the <i>stereotype</i> is that Jews control the media, not that Christians evangelicals do.<p>It's very simple: The fact most Jews support the Israeli lobby matches the stereotype. That fact that many (but many Christian evangelicals also support the Israeli lobby) is orthogonal to the stereotype. They might or might not, the stereotype doesn't say anything about it.</p>

<p>Again, you're confused.<p>I'm saying that P(supports Israel | is Jewish) is large, and you're saying no, because P(is Christian evangelical | supports israel) is large (because there's so many more). In fact both might be true and are true, but your statement has no connection to the stereotype.</p>

<p>Screens aren't inherently bad. It's about the quality. I think your instincts are 100% spot on, keep trusting them.<p>But quality/distractions aside, there are other dimensions to consider. For example, reading does take more effort than most videogames, and that's brain exercise that will make a difference in aggregate (the assumption being that books and videogames are both entertainment, they compete against each other to some degree, and doing a lot of one means you'll do less of the other). So in short, playing videogames a lot isn't bad in itself, depends on the videogames. But on the other hand books have additional positive sideffects on top of the primary effect which is entertainment.</p>

<p>> However, if you actually read any of these papers, they make it quite clear that is impossible to fully separate screen effects from family environment, and effect sizes are often modest.<p>The "does smoking caused cancer" question took about 20 years to be settled, I believe between 1950 and 70 or something like that. And yet, a lot of people already knew already in the 20s that smoking does all sort of weird things to your throat. So the common sense take got to the right answer much faster than scientists.<p>Likewise with screens. Common sense tells us that 1) we FEEL the distractions and the addictions, common sense says that children will too, 2) we KNOW that the companies building these products have an interested in distracting us, common sense says that they will act on it.<p>But then we have takes like "akshually if you read the papers".</p>

<p>I looked into this a year or so ago. My take away was that at some point someone published a very long piece which quotes stallman and step by step concludes "this is bad". And then people started quoting the piece conclusion. However I remember reading the originals from stallman and not finding anything wrong with them. (If someone wants to disagree please cite stallman, not someone else's conclusion about stallman.)</p>

<p>No they shouldn't, because American Koreans are for the most part very anti-DPRK and American Chinese are very anti-CPP.<p>American Jews are very pro-Israel and donate heavily to politicians promoted by the Israeli lobby so it's less of a stretch to suggest that they might be aligned.</p>
