No, kids should not have unsupervised acess to the internet.   Yes, I got that and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.    Its a paradox.

honestly equating enjoyment and poor quality is so dumb like you think everyone reading classics or watching arthouse movies etc are doing it while hating it? idk if it's the mindset that people just do things performatively or to look smart without actually 'being' smart (smartness is a construct ultimately but let's not get into that right now) but like... i guarantee you most people who really love austen or baldwin or hemingway or dostoevsky or morrison or whoever are not pretending. and like fellini or cassavetes or kurosawa filmbros genuinely enjoy them. like im sure there are posers out there and people acting like they like them to just fit into a certain 'aesthetic' or whatever but like. is it so hard to believe that people actually like these things? maybe it's insecurity or projection or anything at all but like... not everyone thinks these things are boring. even people who find them hard work derive 'fun' and enjoyment from them. and im sorry but i do think that a lot of people could benefit from trying them and taking some time with them instead of just rapid consumption of mediocrity. i don't even mean it in a pretentious way i just genuinely think that if u give things a chance u might like it and even if not it'll expand your worldview and knowledge and taste etc etc
