Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. So as we learn more about that creepy little freak that tried to assassinate President Trump, Thomas Crooks, who was taken out by a Secret Service sniper, I guess anti sniper, we're learning more about his digital footprint. And he was very pro Trump before the coronavirus pandemic. And then during COVID switched and became very, very anti Trump also was into something called muscle mommies, which are apparently taller, very, very muscular women who are in a fitness who sort of dominate shorter, younger men. And he had quite a large digital footprint that went unnoticed by his family and by the FBI. There are still a lot of unanswered questions as to whether or not he was on the FBI's radar and why the FBI under Christopher Raid didn't release some of the information that we're now finding out about him. But it certainly sounds as though this person was addicted to technology, was on all, all sorts of different forums from discord to something called DeviantArt where he posted pictures of progressives getting hit over the head and people being lined up and shot. You know, these were artworks that he had authored. And he went from being really anti semitic, racist, anti progressive to being super anti Trump. And he became obsessed with the idea of political assassinations, particularly with guns. So with all of these different avenues where he could express himself and become radicalized, it's very obvious that this person was also addicted to digital devices and technology. And I think that's the case for so many more people than we realize. So there is now a summer camp where you can send your kids and there are a few different camps across the country and in Canada in it's about $8,000, it's a four week camp, it's called Reset Camp. And you send your kids for a month to live essentially in college dorm style housing and they are free from devices and learn how to go analog, learn how to do things with their senses and their hands and communicate with other human beings by looking them in the eye instead of being chained to the addictive digital devices that are so ubiquitous. And part of the reason that a lot of parents don't correct their kids behavior even when it clearly goes down a dark path, is adults are just as addicted to their devices and they have a four day version of Camp Reset for adults where they can go into the Canadian wilderness and maybe, maybe get eaten by grizzly bears. For some people. You, I don't want anyone to be eaten by a grizzly. I mean, unless it's hibernating season and we're actually gambling on Fat Bear week, but that happens in Alaska. So in the Canadian wilderness you go and you reconnect with your analog side. And it's a shame that. And these camps, they're not just for average kids who are checking Snapchat and TikTok and Instagram. These are for kids who are so addicted to gaming and so addicted to social media that they cannot function without it. There are compounding psychological factors and mental illnesses that plague these kids. Those are the ones who get sent to camps like this, which, you know, if I'm a parent and you know, this has happened to my child, I would be very worried about their brain chemistry, their long term mental health. But I also would worry that sending my kid to a camp like that for a month, they would be surrounded by other kids who also have addictive personalities and expressions of maybe very concerning mental illness when with no way of calling me and God, that kind of freaks me out. Don't go anywhere more. Kennedy saves the World right after this.

There is some need to be disconnected from your, your devices at some point and reconnect with nature, reconnect with each other. Know what it means to be a human being with longing and creativity and ideas that is not reliant on everything digital to serve as your long or short term memory or something that allows you to answer questions or formulate ideas based on AI, because that's definitely where we're headed. It is so easy to use AI as a tool. And as a tool it's very helpful, it's very useful. It allows you to do a lot of work in a short amount of time and distill that information and use it productively and then use the time that you have saved for something worthwhile that makes your life better. And that is absolutely possible. And I think that is where most of AI usage is housed. But then of course there are people who are naturally going to be lazy. And when you're lazy and you have a tendency toward addiction using AI tools as a crutch, those are the people who fall in love with AI chatbots. Those are the people for whom you know this new proposed legislation in Ohio exists making it illegal to marry a an AI chatbot. Those are the people who, if society is in their hands, it's very, very worrisome because they are not using the gifts of technology for good. They are using them because they have no desire how to live life outside of technology. So as individuals, as parents, we constantly have to be challenging ourselves. What does it mean to be a biological human being that can see, taste, touch, smell, and feel our way through life? And could you exist without your device? Hopefully the answer is yes. Hopefully you use it because it's pretty convenient, but not out of absolute necessity. And the idea of being without your phone, it should not cause panic and worry. I mean, it's like sometimes I think about it like, I would love to leave the house without my phone. The thing I find my phone most useful for is paying for stuff. I mean, now you really can use Apple, pay for everything. But you have to be vigilant and you also have to lead through example. And that's where parents guilt about leaning too heavily on their devices. Like, we are just as guilty as our kids. So if that's the case, and because you feel bad about what you're already doing, that shouldn't be an excuse for you not to be nosy about how much time your kid is spending on their tablet or their computer or their phone. I think nosy parents, great parents, are in a way very authoritarian. And I've always said authoritarian parents make libertarian children and they rebel against that. And that is fantastic because guess what libertarians do. They think for themselves. And if you're thinking for yourself, you don't have to rely on your phone to think and remember for you. So if you've got little kids, if you've got big kids, the best thing you can do is get your kids out in the world. You know, travel, go places, be challenged, be uncomfortable. That's okay. Our lives should not be set up so we create this digital bubble that we just manufacture so we don't feel the sharp pointy edges of the world, which, frankly, that's how you grow. And if you don't grow, you just become the fat people who are in rascal wheelchairs in Wally drinking your meals from a cup. You don't want that. You don't want cankles in space. Let me save you from that. Get out, swim in cold water, go on a hike and make some cookies. Thank me later. This has been Kennedy Saves the World. I'm Kennedy. Listen.
