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?

Why would transsexuals be jobless? Are they not capable of doing work like anyone else?

Transsexuals are not a good cultural fit because the interviewer gets confused about whether the applicant is fuckable.

That's why the interviewer needs to be bisexual. That way any sort of interviewee is potentially fuckable.
