They are having a real hard time forming meaningful relationships. Record numbers of people are single into late adulthood.

Are we sure that's from porn? I'd really hate to ban porn only to find out it didn't change anything because I feel the people who would benefit most from a ban on pornography is pornographers. It's so ubiquitous these days. There's no need to buy girlie mags, visit adult video stores, or ever pay for porn. And if they get the genie back in the bottle, they're going to know better than to ever let it out again.

I suspect a driving force behind many relationships in older times was boredom. You found someone to spend your time with because there wasn't anything else to do and you were lonely. The internet changed that, and not specifically porn.

Also younger people have a LOT more responsibilities than their grandparents did. Along with what we discussed yesterday, even worse is the schools. Schools right now think "more homework" is going to magically solve our education "crisis" (that only exists in the inner-city), so they just keep giving more and more of it and kids can barely keep up. Even some elementary schoolers spend literally all their time doing homework now. Part of it is driven by the elite educators wanting to compete with China's totally-not-manipulated test scores. Trying to get our overall average up to China's top 0.1% is simply unrealistic, but they trust China to be honest. China is also notorious for being way too harsh about education anyway.

Yeah I basically agree. I think there's a lot of truth to this. You can Lazer focus on porn as the sole problem but you'll miss the bug picture.

And most of them are probably incels. There's so much bashing on men right now that even straight women are forcing themselves to become lesbians. And women are glorified to the point where they can do no wrong. So they get to sleep around with Chad and the rest of the guys have slim pickings. It's not as bad as incels think but I definitely see where they're coming from, a lot of women won't love a man if he isn't good enough for them, because men bad blah blah blah. And they're being raised to be spoiled brats who only care about themselves and don't know how to love others, especially men because muh patriarchy. Men are only an asset in their eyes.

I don't see this very often, but it makes sense that it would follow from the "men bad" attitude in hyperwoke areas full of feminazis. You have all these feminazis saying "we should just get rid of men because they suck and they're no longer necessary", so obviously they're not going to hang around a man unless they have a really compelling reason to.
