One thought on “Jonathan Haidt Returns (on the Anxious Generation) | Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard”
Really appreciated this summary—it reminds me how fragile our inner architecture becomes when attention frays and play disappears. Haidt’s “great rewiring” of Gen-Z isn’t just data—it’s a signal of how coherence unravels when distraction invades the field. Smartphones, fragmented time, overprotective structure—they didn’t break us—they rerouted our instinct to connect, explore, reflect.
There’s power in Haidt’s proposed reset: “delay the rewiring, let freedom and presence scaffold resilience.” It mirrors a core idea I explore in my own writing—that true alignment often returns when we unclench from reaction and phase into awareness first.
