One powerful cultural trend right now is that millions of young men are holed up in their rooms, or in their friends’ rooms, playing video games.

Not only does that mean that they’re not engaged in cavorting with the gals, it means that they’re missing everything else that healthy active people do, like work.

It’s an alternative universe, and there are a whole lot of young men living there. They have no people skills. It’s the western version of China’s One Child policy.

Blaming video games seems a bit backwards. In our culture we don't give young people anything to do. We lock them up in daycare centers until the age of 18; we import a foreign underclass to do all the unskilled labor that they might be suited for; and of course we continue to provide all their physical wellbeing until no less than the age of 26. What are they supposed to do besides play games?

Porn - you don’t have to talk to them or get to know them or date. It’s over in a few minutes and you get on with whatever you were doing before you started.

Allegedly, it is epidemic in Japan where young males aren’t even interestedin young females - Too much trouble.
