"Jonathan Haidt is the leader of this particular insurgency. “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness,” his book exploring the decline of the “play-based childhood” and the rise of the “phone-based childhood,” has been on the New York Times best-seller list for a year. It feels, to me, like we’re finally figuring out a reasonable approach to smartphones and social media and kids … just in time for that approach to be deranged by the question of A.I. and kids, which no one is really prepared for."—The Ezra Klein Show

#sunblock protects the #skin from harmful cancer-causing rays, but this #protection means you're also #absorbing less of what the body needs to make #vitaminD. Anything over SPF 8 cuts #ultravioletproduction by more than 75 percent. 10 to 20 minutes per day of unprotected #sunexposure is generally enough for lighter skinned people, while those with darker skin need about an hour of unprotected #sunlight. After this time has elapsed, it is best to apply sunscreen to get those #protectivebenefits.
