DP Studio landing pads / Project Liberty Alliance

Invitation to weigh in

The Anxious Generation

We opened a landing pad for The Anxious Generation from public work, not a mission paraphrase.

The Anxious Generation publishes citable work we could quote (Collaborative Review Docs - The Anxious Generation). This briefing is a hypothesis built from those sources. Tell us if we misread the research, add papers we missed, and weigh in on Desirable Properties tied to that work.

If you represent The Anxious Generation, confirm the source URLs, then open the Desirable Properties tab and leave a patch idea where the property text misses what your public work already argues.

Research and policy only change the rule-set when it is linked to original sources. Help us keep this pad tied to your papers and reports, not a press-release summary.

Public packet only. Hypothesis marks stay until you confirm sources. Each Alliance member gets a different pitch so we can experiment. Your pad is https://desirableproperties.org/pad/anxiousgeneration (hyphens optional). Direct link to this tab: https://desirableproperties.org/pad/anxiousgeneration?tab=values

Stated mission

By: Jonathan Haidt February 20, 2024 Last published: January 27, 2026 When I began to study the effects of social media on teen mental health, in 2019, I found it impossible to keep track of the many conflicting studies.

Values to Overweb mappings

Confirm only mappings that match how you use these words. Rejected mappings stay off the next brief.

I started collecting the most important ones in a Google document, then I started organizing them by method, and then I invited other academics to tell me what I had missed or gotten wrong.

Overweb: Vicariance: sandbox novel work before population-wide exposure

Candidate MPA: Research overlays start in sandbox stage

These publicly visible “collaborative review” documents make it easy for anyone to acquaint themselves with the research literature on the many topics listed below.

Overweb: Transparency of AI and human roles in inquiry

Candidate MPA: Show when Hermes drafted vs when humans confirmed

I invite any academic researcher to request editing permission for any of the docs and then add studies, comments and objections.
