Absolutely not:

Do you really think young people around 14-16 understand the impact of doomscrolling & 15 sec videos on their brain capacities?

To put just one example.

I've seen the same thing in my family and relatives across all age groups, I doubt they understand it either.

The problem with that though, they don't really get to see what great feats a healthy adult brain is allegedly capable of, for example from their parents, nor their teachers if we're being honest for a millisecond. So why bother? Offline adult brains have failed at preventing any of this - nor are they more successful. It's really not brain health that predicts success in 2026.
