Summary

TikTok aims to fundamentally change the way our brains works—even to the point of being coined 'digital fentanyl'.

0:33.6	want to do on the show today. One of my favorite things that I get to do in the course of my work
0:38.8	is travel around and talk on college campuses. I get to talk to college students of all
