      Quantity is an important factor. A half hour a day of brainrot isn’t a big problem, constant brainrot during all your free time is going to impact your concentration abilities, your mental image of the world, your ability to build meaningful logical connections and so many other mental development elements.

        Exactly. We gathered together around my friend’s monitor, and laughed at FreddyW videos for 10 minutes, the continued our board game / rpg session.

        Compare this to how some kids are watching mind numbing shit whole day on their personal screens. Very diffrent effect

          That’s even different because what you are describing is brainrot as a social activity, strengthening the bonds with your friends through shared experience

      No. I mean, there’s a plave for low art, but we’re much better at artlessslop these days.

      Decoupling art from content the same way we decoupled content from physical media.
