@mattyglesias how much does Norway being a very safe and generally happy country play a role in this?
@mattyglesias And a clear collective action problem! Nobody wants to be the mean parent making their kid the only one with no phone.
@mattyglesias I remember a time when teachers could take away your phone if it made noise during class.
