That's like saying "You have a bleeding gunshot wound, and you are going to die from it pretty soon, but here is an Advil! It might not be the first aid you were hoping for, but it's what I got, so for now that'll have to do."

Emotional self-control is frankly something I saw a frightful lack of when I first came to the States. Long before smartphones.

Self-control has never really been adequately rewarded here.
