Latter-Day Celibacy

Wisdom shows up in a comment reacting to an Ann Althouse post. Her basic discussion is the lack of marriage and children and even sexual relations in Japan, I liked this comment.

I suspect that humans are simply not evolved to handle new media and new tech -- there will be a shake out and die off of those who cannot adapt. Young men become isolated nerds who thrive on porn, while young women become fantasy princesses waiting for billionaires who never arrive.

Caveat: The billionaires are giving it a good try but there aren't enough billionaires to go around. How many children does Elon Musk admit to? 

Most sources claim he has 10 with a variety of mothers. He can afford the child support but his day has the same 24 hours yours has. So many "princesses," so little time.
