Jonathan Haidt: How to Help the Anxious Generation | The All-In Interview
Jonathan Haidt, Jason, Friedberg, Chamath
In a new interview format, Jonathan Haidt joins All-In hosts to diagnose how rapid technological shifts have rewired human behavior and destabilized liberal democracy by prioritizing algorithmic dopamine over biological evolution. He identifies the 2010–2015 era as a critical "great rewiring" where smartphones and social media replaced face-to-face socialization, creating a generation of anxious youth ill-equipped for adult resilience and prone to polarization. To reverse these trends, Haidt proposes four collective norms: banning smartphones before high school, delaying social media access until age 16, enforcing phone-free schools, and restoring independent free play to rebuild anti-fragility.
