Jon Haidt (author of The Anxious Generation) asked ChatGPT how the devil would destroy the next generations. Its answer— the devil comes in convenience.
“Convince them that comfort, consumption, and self-expression are the highest goods, while restraint, sacrifice, and long-term commitment are oppressive. That way, they’ll celebrate indulgence while mocking tradition and discipline—the very things that build strength and freedom across generations.”
Haidt’s essay, which was previously published on The Free Press, and is now on his Substack After Babel, was a fascinating one. I encourage you check it out if you get a minute.
