Focus, Connection and Meaning:


Focus, Connection and Meaning


New York based Professor Jonathan Haidt began an article on Gen Z with this observation…


“Earlier this year, someone started a viral trend of asking ChatGPT this question: If you were the devil, how would you destroy the next generation, without them even knowing it?

ChatGPT’s responses were profound and unsettling: “I wouldn’t come with violence. I’d come with convenience.” “I’d keep them busy. Always distracted.”

“I’d watch their minds rot slowly, sweetly, silently.”

Haidt went on to write that the most chilling part of the ChatGPTs suggestion is that this is exactly what has happened for Gen Z through smartphones and social media.

Haidt would go onto to suggest what this generation needs is focus, connection, and meaning. I would add that meaning is best found in personal faith with the Creator
