Are porn and video games destroying today's generation of young adult males? (CNN)
 

The guy who collaborated on this study is the same dude behind the famous STANFORD PRISON STUDY of 1971. The man knows psychology. But is he right about video games and porn? http://edition.cnn.com/2012/05/23/he...uys/index.html

Here is the THESIS:


My rebuttal to him would be: don't MUSIC VIDEOS present information/stimulation the same way? Nobody's getting their panties in a bunch about music vids, right?

Here is his TED talk http://www.ted.com/talks/zimchallenge.html

I agree. Most of you younger guys are fucked up.

.

The porn industry is ruining the youths of today.

yep i agree

it's true.

I often wonder how many government watch lists you're on.

Look at any recent college grad, was post-secondary really worth it for them? No. Worth it for taxpayers to put them through the per-requisite levels of schooling? No.

Let them have all the porn and video games their brains can handle. Life in the future is going to be very, very tough for them. No amount of schooling or degrees will change the upcoming decline in standard of living, and young men will be hit the hardest.

i attribute it to everyone is on medication.

Music videos aren't on TV anymore..

I thought it was hip hop's fault?

Give the people what they want! 1m years of evolution tells young men to thrill seek and live high risk high reward lives.

But they're asked to be good cattle and till the earth patiently for their masters and be bled regularly and lives grey useless nameless lives. They'll seek the thrills wherever they can.

They have no power, no money, no pussy, no prospects, no vision, and very little hope. They used to drink - I don't think that was any better.

duh...yes

I really dont think a music video is anywhere near as stimulating about video games and porn. You're dealing with so many more senses compared to just kicking back and listening to a music video. And most people dont play diablo III for 4 minutes, they play for 8 hours at a clip.

It isn't just guys, it is girls as well, just with different things. A friend of mine has three daughters. The two oldest have phones and text all day long. It is like they are addicts. Between texting and Facebook they are never not on their phones. A few weeks ago when I was over there one of them had her phone sitting next to her and she picked it up 3-4 times in a 10 minute span checking to see if anyone texted her and checking to see what was on Facebook. It was like watching an addict. She would finish what she was doing and set the phone down then within a few minutes she was glancing at it. She would then pick it up and look at it and eventually give in and send a text or something.

It extends to when she is watching a movie or doing something else. Just sitting and watching a movie or TV show is not enough, she has to text while it is on.

Horrible parenting by irresponsible, selfish, self absorbed, self entitled shitheads has destroyed a generation.
