The Independent reports:
Psychologist and professor emeritus at Stanford University Phillip Zimbardo (who led the team of researchers who conducted the Stanford Prison Experiment) has made the warnings, which form a major part of his latest book, Man (Dis)Connected.
Zimbardo says (in this TED talk) there is a "crisis" amongst young men, a high number of whom are experiencing a "new form of addiction" to excessive use of pornography and video games. Citing the research he and his team conducted for the book, he says: "It begins to change brain function. It begins to change the reward centre of the brain, and produces a kind of excitement and addiction."
An article from Psychology Today, however, argues that there are no demonstrable scientific links between porn consumption and the disputed phenomenon called 'Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction.'
Could this problem be manifesting itself as the rise of the Hikikomori?

all the misogynist whining and worse that goes on whenever a woman makes a statement or stands up for herself?
[Citation needed]. Men are expected to be able to back up their words with reasoning and evidence too. But when men have the temerity to ask the same of women, it's misogyny. I call it equality. Feminists want it both ways. Sorry, I'm not going to just "listen and believe."
Climate change is real and primarily caused by human activity.
