    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.

United States* reshape the balance of power between the administrative state and the judiciary. Amidst these political and legal shifts, the upcoming All-In Summit aims to convene industry leaders to discuss the future of media, artificial intelligence, and the evolving landscape of American enterprise.

    Biden, Jason, Friedberg, Chamath Palihapitiya, David Sacks

    Hosts analyze the first presidential debate as an unmitigated disaster for President Biden that triggered aggressive internal panic among Democratic strategists, with prediction markets signaling a significant probability of his withdrawal from the race.
