The New Malevolence of Modern Childhood Reflections on Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation is one of the most disturbing books I have read, not because it is merely predictive, but because it documents what has already happened. In Haidt’s distinctive style, it describes a transformation of childhood that is intensely sad in retrospect and genuinely chilling in anticipation of what may follow over the coming decades. It is the type of book that makes your heart pound in your chest and returns you, emotionally, to the frightened child you once were. For me, it brought back the cold, alone, terrified six-year-old I was when a bullying teenager locked me in a cold room at his parents’ supermarket for half a day. Its central claim is simple and unsettling: childhood was rewired between roughly 2010 and 2015. The decline of unsupervised free play collided with the mass adoption of smartphones and social media, producing a developmental environment for adolescents that no previous generation had experienced. Haidt argues that the consequences are visible in rising rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm, loneliness, sleep deprivation, and social disconnection among Gen Z. The underlying data are serious, publicly examinable, and difficult to dismiss, even where researchers continue to debate causality. What makes the book so powerful is not merely the statistics. It is the moral inversion it exposes. • Offline, children became overprotected, monitored, and deprived of the risks they need in order to grow. • Online, they were left radically underprotected inside systems engineered for compulsion, comparison, surveillance, status anxiety, and behavioural capture. That is the real malevolence of modern childhood. Not one villain. Not one device. Not one app. A whole architecture of developmental negligence. Haidt’s book should not be read as anti-technology. It should be read as a warning against surrendering childhood to systems that were never designed around children’s psychological, social, or moral development. Once companies realised that compulsive design produced extraordinary stickiness, they had every incentive to produce more of it. The result was a race to the bottom: less restraint, weaker ethical guardrails, more behavioural capture, and a growing indifference to the developmental consequences for children. It is a must-read for prospective parents, parents of newborns and toddlers, and all of us who have already raised children. We must now fight the malignant, insidious presence of the phone-based childhood for the sake of our grandchildren.

superb shot from Artemis II so far—absolutely stunning

The most underappreciated announcement from Vegas was not price related. It was the DOJ publicly backing away from regulation by prosecution. That is not bullish because it pumps charts. It is bullish because industries build faster when rules exist.
