Interesting that this seems to be true cross-country.
My high school was very rough. (So were all my schools.) There were fights every day. I was in a large percentage of them. Bullying and hazing were extremely common. I was one of the main targets, but by no means the only one.
I fairly routinely got in 2-3 fights a day. And I mean real fights where one or both of us was bleeding at the end of it. That is not normal anywhere anymore. Nor should it be.
I think there’s something to this. A large percentage of the so-called asexuals, as well as the “feminists” screeching about how attraction is evil, many of the incels, and a large percentage of the online crazies in general would have been in monasteries or nunneries in past times; they are not suitable for regular civilization but now we have nowhere to house them.
Instead, they make the rest of us miserable by spending all day posting about how very normal human impulses and emotions are malevolent and always ill-intentioned. Which is not true. It’s just that they are abnormal freaks.
This happens all the time. And it’s nearly always a disaster.
I’m so glad shoegaze and dreampop has made a comeback. This rules.
I think Hunter is right about that. So it does make you wonder what are they really playing at?
Correct. Almost no high-agency high-intelligence man wants a woman who is intellectually incapable. By most measures I am far to the right on the Bell curve in intelligence and one of my few absolute dealbreakers was that the woman I ended up with would have to be within at least one SD of mine in IQ. Otherwise, what would we talk about day to day?
Because I’ve had to do it my whole life, I know that constantly explaining everything to everyone is terrible. I wouldn’t want to be with someone that I’d have to spend all my time doing that — and if I did have to clarify something, it’d take.

The problem with this view is that its not borne out by the data and thus is moronic. I go where the data goes. I don’t care about ideology. Not even my own.
So the actual world shows that smartphone adoption is highly correlated with increasing unhappiness. And that is across countries, which starts to point more at something causal rather than just correlational. I’m not going to do your homework for you but there is more and more clear evidence being presented all the time that smartphones are bad news for happiness.
By the way, 2011-2012 is when smartphones reached ~50% of teen users.
Here’s more. As I said, do your own research. But Alan’s anti-thesis is the antithesis of what’s actually occurring. Not every advance is progress; not every novelty is worth the cost.

What’s the desired end state? Probably it’s inchoate because they are operating from a position of panphobia, so nothing would ever suffice.

I’ve been seeing “short-sided” instead of “short-sighted” (or “shortsighted”) recently.
This makes no sense and I hate it.
