Tim describes the rise of mental-illness-as-clout influencers, including a specific "eczema influencer" on Instagram, and argues kids self-diagnosing online from platforms like TikTok is dangerous, tying back to the Harvard Westlake suicides.
- Kids should not have phones in school; they should go in Yonder bags like comedy clubs use.
- Parents need to get more involved in what their kids are looking at online and limit social media big time.
- When mental health struggles merge with the need for clout and social acceptance, you can have a big problem.
- Fifteen-year-olds might join the borderline gang because they think it could be their identity.
- People surrounded by him who didn't burden themselves with psychological diagnoses from a young age figured out how to have a life.
- Maybe a doctor should diagnose you instead of diagnosing yourself on the TikTok discover page.
- Tim acknowledges poor children also die but doesn't care about them.
