1) social incapacitation leads to short run reduced coupling and long run social de-skilling. The kids never learn how to flirt and be normal, they never hang out, they never meet anyone

2) accelerated adoption of aspirational western norms. It’s like someone turned the Developmental Idealism machine up to a million, and made it accessible to everyone. Remember— majorities of most African countries are on social media apps!! So they adopt aspirational norms far beyond what local GDP and local culture can support, and thus family collapses
