    Are Screens Actually Changing Our Brains?? | I React to New PragerU Film on Impact of Screens and Socials on Gen Z

    WATCH “THE VOID”: https://www.prageru.com/video/the-void-finding-happiness-in-a-world-of-escapism We all know that technology is having an effect on us, but do we really know the extent of it? That’s why I’m so excited to be reacting to PragerU’s newest short documentary which sheds light on the impact socials and screens are having in my generation! ABOUT THE FILM:  Why is Gen Z the most depressed, anxious, and overly medicated generation in America? Detached and lonely, millions of young people are plunging into the void of escapism and social media addiction, only to find themselves more isolated and alone. PragerU’s short documentary offers some solutions to Gen Z and their families for overcoming this mental health crisis by taking on responsibilities and finding purpose. Featuring: Zuby Udezue: UK-based “clean” rapper, entrepreneur, and podcaster whose uplifting perspectives on masculinity, responsibility, and culture have caught the attention of millions. Chris Williamson: Former British TV star who shares honest lessons from his journey of transformation by finding purpose. Misha Petrov: Recent college graduate who discusses Gen Z’s most popular social media trends and how to avoid them. I hope y'all enjoy today's podcast!
