    The Overlord has a plan.
    Parents get utopia and the children join the Overmind.

    I know this plot. It is supposed to be fiction. The Mark Manifesto is an eerie parallel.

    This is irrelevant to me mainly because I am older than the intended age demographic of this app, and also I don't have any kids who are in that age demographic.
