My dad was almost killed by a US air raid at the end of WW2, has a PhD, raised 3 children, has at one point disassembled a car into its most basic parts and rebuilt it for a prank, and he's on TikTok.

And his mind will suffer for it. Aging brains eventually become ripe for the dopamine addiction and emotional manipulation that comes with social media.

He's 79. At that age, you can do whatever the fuck you want, without worrying about any adverse long term effects.
You already beat "long term".
