In a post-interview reflection, Greg Carlwood discusses the difficulty of starting complex paths like alchemy or guitar in adulthood. He argues that the ages of 5 to 15 are critical for talent development and laments children wasting this time on iPads. He expresses support for an "underground alchemical revival" as an alternative to modern materialism.

The history of myopia is traced back to the 16th century when monks developed vision problems from reading in low light by candlelight. Steiner compares this historical precedent to the modern "iPad kid" epidemic, noting that the age of myopia onset is decreasing as children spend more time on digital devices.
