Very interesting. Seems vaguely familiar, but cannot recall specifically reading about it before.
Does make one wonder about some of the behaviors observed in our larger cities and some of the shattering of long-held social norms, such as close to 20% of teenage girls now claiming to be lesbian and in some parts of the country the obsession with mutilating children in the name of gender transitioning.
I've wondered if we are too connected by social media. I like the aspect of being able to maintain ties to family, but have lost the socialization of close friends locally. Growing up, we routinely had other families over and vice versa. How many kids today have any idea about playing hide and go seek other kids with after dark? We'd play for hours, all ages. Is the replacement of socialization by virtual means a good thing vs. the old way of in person?
