    I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I think parents also carry a significant part of the responsibility.

      I’m kinda 50/50 on that. Parents should be doing better, but most are probably unequipped to fight A.I., short-form video, social media, and other things that harm focus and education. You also cannot just expect parents to do better and hope that they will change. Parenting is not subject to very much government regulation (for obvious practical and ethical reasons) but education systems are, and can be changed systematically through law or policy.

      So I agree that parents are responsible, but there’s not really any kind of systematic change that I can imagine would fix that problem.
