Why the 1970s was the last "human" generation: Discover the psychology of youth strength, internal locus of control, and how executive function was wired differently in the 1970s. We deconstruct why modern stress and anxiety is a biological byproduct of over-supervision and digital capture. ✨.
TL; DR:. The 1970s supplied a distinct psychological "gym" for the brain. Through unstructured play and "benign disregard," individuals established a robust internal locus of control and self-directed executive function. Today, continuous guidance and algorithmic attention-capture have "patched" these human baselines, causing greater stress and anxiety and lower autonomy. This video offers a science-backed "Extraction Package" to reclaim your company.
