Acharya Prashant addresses the alarming rise in depression, anxiety, and declining IQ levels among teenagers and young adults, attributing these trends largely to the negative influence of social media. He highlights a stark contrast between the youth of today, who are often consumed by video games and mediocre digital content, and the young revolutionaries of India's past, such as Khudiram Bose, Bhagat Singh, and Pritilata Wadedar, who displayed immense courage and depth at very young ages. He notes that while information is more accessible than ever, the quality of 'company' or role models that the youth keep online is deteriorating, leading to a sense of entitlement coupled with internal fragility.
