    Freya India on How to Free the Anxious Generation
    Nov 9 2024
    Yascha and Freya discuss why so many young people came to prefer the online world to real life. Freya India is the author of the Substack GIRLS. She is also a staff writer for Jonathan Haidt’s Substack After Babel. In this week’s conversation, Yascha and Freya discuss the great sense of social isolation and anxiety felt by so many young people; why the life lived online is a shoddy substitute for the real thing; and how the difficulties ascribed to social media addiction among young people often can be traced to a broader desire for wisdom and meaning.

One of the best new podcasts

We need more voices like Yascha. He is not polarized or fanatical in any way. Check this out for a refreshingly dispassionate take on world and US events.

Let Bohan rejoice with the Scythian Stag

—he is beef and breeches against want and nakedness. Let Achsah rejoice with the Pigeon who is an antidote to malignity and will carry a letter. For I bless God for the Postmaster general and all conveyancers of letters under his care, especially Allen and Shelvock.
