If I were homeschooling a kid, I'd make Minecraft part of their education. There is so much to learn in there: resource management, geometry, compounding growth, risk management, patience. And that's before you discover redstone and realize you can build logic circuits!

I agree that every generation gets disgusted/dismayed with what the next one's doing, and that fear of change has a lot to do with it. And I agree that many of these fears are over-blown.

But... have you ever gone down the rabbit hole of bizarre children's youtube content? This is stuff that extremely young kids are watching before they can talk, and it doesn't take many auto-play loads before they end up in the bizarre and the perverse. This has to have some effect on their brains.
