Yes. Also charter/private and home schools are diminishing the role of public schools.

Life is not a social video game

Face to face casual communication is not virtual but actual reality.

There is a terrible thing that is happening: digital games run *around* the frontal lobes, nullifying judgement and slowing down how fast the brain completes development. Even. under the best conditions, the brain doesn't complete maturation until age 25. When kids get addicted to screens in pre-teen years, their development gets pushed back to 35 AT A MINIMUM. This is why we have all these boy-men: their frontal lobes aren't engaged, so they have poor judgment and are immature. And they had NO chance to meet women while they're gaming every minute. It's destructive for everyone, but I wonder if men aren't suffering most.

If you have not mentioned this in a previous post I would appreciate an expanded analysis in a future post.

Thank you.

I haven't, but thanks, I will when I talk about the rage young men feel about not being able to find dates.

There are some men on there, duping other men, that will infuriate you. The IMPLICATION, though, is that you get the sense that there are millions of men truly cut loose from good men and at a loss for how to relate to women. Most of them are young, and many of them seem to have delayed social development because they spend all their time on the Internet, a habit exacerbated by three years of enforced confinement due to COVID-19. They are in serious trouble. One counselor says, simply, "Get out of the house. Do nothing in the house but sleep there." My solution is volunteering so they can meet people of all kinds and all ages, including women with good hearts, doing something in the service of others. Habitat for Humanity, the VA, the Red Cross, firefighting, Big Brother, Pacific Corps, Discover Corps. Anything to get out of the house--and get outside themselves. In the current state, they are being made vulnerable to the worst of these predators--who do predate women but feed off other men. It's tragic to me. Millions of disconnected men being taught to hate women and developing digital dementia. It's like an erased life.
