DHO Constitution
Sec. John Kerry: https://www.yahoo.com/news/john-kerry-calls-first-amendment-220023746.htm
"You know there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have some accountability on facts, etc. But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence," Kerry said.

So the Next Generation Will Know, Sean McDowell and J. Warner Wallace identified some key traits common among Gen-Zs. They are:
Digital Multitaskers – “spending nearly every waking hour interacting with . . . digital technology,” often while watching television
Impatient – quickly moving from thing to thing with an attention span of around 8 seconds
Fluid – constantly blurring the lines; making truth, genders, and family structures personal choices
Lonely – swamped in social media where personal relationships are minimized while personal troubles follow them everywhere. Sean points to “the availability of endless counterfeits that claim to be able to fill their hearts with meaning.”{3}
Individualistic – individual feelings more important than facts while judging the choices of others is avoided. As James White points out in Meet Generation Z{4}, “the ability to find whatever they’re after without the help of intermediaries . . . has made them more independent. . . . Like no other generation before, Gen-Z faces a widening chasm between wisdom and information.”{5}
Think of this in terms of Church:
Talks and lessons, with an attention span of 8 seconds?
Talked with sister missionaries, about small 15 min lessons. So busy get gospel in chunks, the show up to church, set up chairs, etc.

Trent Staggs, Alisha Staggs: "They can’t seem to look past his purported personality to see that we were better off under Trump’s policies. We all have faults. Why can they overlook Vice President Kamala Harris’ faults but not Trump’s?"
Double Standards.

Life Hack
Repetitive conversations:
Keep discussing, reexplaining
Call them on it
We've already had this conversation.
Why do we have the same conversations over and over again?
Where are you going with this? (DHO: Where will it lead?)
Point Sun Tzu: balk their plans, attack their strategy
Avoidance tactic
Delay tactic
