Reply to New study links psychedelic drug experience to certain positive health behaviors - A new online survey of U.S. adults indicates that people who report using any of the classic psychedelics at least once in their lives also reported smoking cigarettes less often and eating healthier diets. by mossadnik

Clearly they didn't interview all the chain smoking hippies who live off potato chips and oreos while calling themselves vegan.

Reply to comment by TarthenalToblakai in A new study suggests that too much screen time during infancy may lead to changes in brain activity, as well as problems with executive functioning — the ability to stay focused and control impulses, behaviors, and emotions — in elementary school. by Wagamaga

Might the rapid and fairly rhythmic rate at which images on-screen change have something to do with it? IRL, what we see doesn't move the same way or at the same rate a filmed or cartoon narrative does - think of how long it seems if a filmed scene focuses on one thing for more than a few seconds. If neural entrainment at such a rhythm and rate takes place too often at a young age, might it not lead to permanent neurological effects?

>Infants are idiots

>Infants are curious little shits that keep themselves occupied by whatever means possible

Choose one, because they can't both be true. Also, don't think you've ever had kids.

So are the cognative issues due to the screen time? Or is it a lack of active interaction and bonding?

Parenting is tough, so I can imagine parents hand off their tablets or turn on the TV to get some quiet time. But, sounds like we need to figure out better ways to make that screen time interactive.
