It’s funny seeing people addicted to social media and smartphones coping with the reality of their addictions by claiming against all evidence that it’s not social media or phones that the problem, man, it’s, like, society that’s really what’s holdin’ me down….

Sure, sure, that’s gotta be it. Addicts always sounds the same. Been around them my whole early life so I am very familiar with the signs, rationalizations and justifications they toss out. It’s the same old script that’s probably been happening since someone first discovered you could chew on some weird leaves in 100,000 B.C. and forget about your troubles.

Meanwhile, smartphones and social media are a level one cognitohazard for most people — and are especially bad for girls and women. That’s the reality.
