"If current trends continue, we’re going to hell,” says Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist and best-selling author of "The Anxious Generation." In a candid talk, Glenn and Jonathan discuss preventing another Patriot Act, free speech threats from the activist Left, and whether Trump has crossed a “red line.” Glenn asks Jonathan how to navigate America’s divisions, leading to a discussion on social media’s harm to kids, with Haidt noting platforms like TikTok, Meta, and Snapchat are damaging children “on an industrial scale” and may hinder Gen Z’s ability to “get married and stay married.” They agree that it’s time to regulate social media and advise against AI Christmas toys or falling in love with your AI companion. In the final moments of the podcast, Glenn floats the idea of a constitutional amendment that reminds us of what it really means to be human.
