In this response essay, I'll present the two main problems I see with the skeptics' approach, as exemplified in Odgers' review: 1. Odgers is wrong to say that I have no evidence of causation 2. Odgers' alternative explanation does not fit the available facts. Share 1) Odgers is wrong to say that I have no evidence of causation Odgers' central claim is that I have mistaken correlation for causation and that I have "no evidence" that social media is a cause, rather than a mere correlate, of the current epidemic of adolescent mental illness. Odgers says that I am just "making up stories by simply looking at trend lines."

I guess we’ll see. But we know what lines pushed his buttons, don’t we?
