Kids need vices when we force excessive stressors on them

Same as adults

Our society is setup to keep everyone burnt out and irritatable, and it would be a lot worse without our vices.

We can fix this whenever we feel like removing unnecessary stressors from people's lives

When people regularly get excess leisure time they will choose to read books, instead of the quick hits of dopamine they get from social media that take way less time and energy commitment than a book.
