This made no sense to me ever. Intimacy is an instinct not a socialization concept. Just like you cannot brainwash the gays into being straight, you cannot brainwash someone into not desiring human intimacy.

Half of the human race is going to go extinct there is zero doubt about that.
I have no idea what the future holds for the other half.
The primary challenge that persists is that even in the richest countries in the world, people are not satisfied with how much money their jobs make.
That is the primary failing of capitalism, it cannot differentiate between things men want right now and are willing to pay for, and things that are useful for the propagation of the species that the individual will not pay for.
There exists a biological gap space where there exist things that are useful to man that man does not really care for, as a part of his functional biology requires him to be blind to certain truths or observations to be able to function well.
This failing of the species extends into our economic systems resulting in the creation of societies that make human life better year on year but at the same time make it impossible for the species to keep successfully reproducing and prospering.
Capitalism only succeeds when there is a welfare state to cover the bottom. US capitalism is reaching its end point in terms of competency and capability as the consumer market can no longer afford the higher end products produced within the most advanced country in the world. Technological development has outpaced the human ability to afford the product, not due to resource cost of developing the product, but because of ever rising profit margins for the creators of the product, which are reaching a point where those goals can only be reached by outright exploiting the consumer base or forming permanent monopolies.
The rise of China has been the best thing that happened to the planet as it has guaranteed affordable product of a decent quality for all the middle income nations and poor nation states. Even now, as China continues to get richer, their products are still available at an affordable rate for almost the entire world including places like India and Vietnam.
Global competition stabilizes the species and forces the elite to improve the conditions for the populace living under them to remain competitive.
Samsung today remains one of the greatest companies of all time, filling in the space where US products are unaffordable. Thus the global market is separated into two spaces. The first being the product space where the US consumer can afford the product, and the second space where the rest of the world can afford the product.

Commies also think that capitalism is as totalizing as their beloved ideologies, so their brains break when something is a separate concern:
Capitalism does something more important than making long-term plans and joylessly forcing them onto unwilling masses: it generates extraordinary wealth and then sets prices for accomplishing things without coercion.
Do you want to end global warming? Capitalism makes it possible to afford it and to construct any amount of low-carbon infrastructure. It also allows the mechanism of price to be leveraged to account for externalities; industry rapidly responds to the incentives of things like carbon taxes. (It's almost impossible to convince organs of the government to make reductions with nudges like that.)
Want to explore space? Cut a check to the right engineers and industry titans, and tune in for the landing videos.

It's also impossible to make the people accept significant QoL reductions. Remember when everyone lost their mind over 4% inflation?
Jump in the discussion.

Any QoL reductions are priced into all transactions already.
Specifically, carbon taxes typically show negligible consumer price impacts because the necessary carbon savings are rather cheap for affected industries. The number of companies that just keep doing things the same way, pay the tax, and pass on the cost to consumers is basically zero because they get their butt handed to them by companies that find ways to dramatically reduce taxable carbon output.

Dumbest shit ive ever read bro
Absolutely incorrect and proven wrong in multiple countries
Tech product price is definitely not outpacing the improvements in technology bro wtf are you talking about. Just look at the cost per gigabyte graph over the decades, and nvidia gpu performance improvements far outpace their price increases. Modern Video games are also 10000x more technically impressive than in the 90s yet they are literally cheaper adjusted for inflation and only in the past few years studios finally started increasing from the $60 price point. Numerous other examples but i wont list them here.

Wrong. The US provides welfare funds to its unemployed and its the most powerful country in the world now.
Look at the price rumors of the next Nvidea graphics card series.
Previously we were getting the graphics card at the same price with more performance.
Source?
They tried to recoup the expenses by shifting to live service games and in game purchases and in game gacha styled gambling. Shifting the price elsewhere does not mean the price wasn't increased.

Not the same thing as "Capitalism only succeeds when there is a welfare state to cover the bottom."
Still wont come close to the % increase in performance over 4090
So you agree with me now? The tech improved more than the price increased. What are you even saying bruh 😂😂
Im talking about technologically, not story wise or game design, its an objective fact. You really think for example baldurs gate 1 is more technologically advanced than bg3? Be serious

Your reasoning sounds dumber than mine. Occam's razor suggests that I am correct.
But the consumer cannot afford it that's the point. Price increases outpacing consumer affordability due to tech advances being too fast.
Consumers cannot afford it anymore.
It's better but a million times better?

not sure how you came to the conclusion that that was what I was trying to say
source? steam survey shows 4090 at 1.02% (down to 0.93% probably from people anticipating 5090 release), not to mention all the cards 4070 and up that are equivalent or better than 3090 ti

The US built modern factory assembly lines, computer chips, and the internet from scratch. Before that they copied nothing and they didn't even go through an age of industrialization and figured everything out from the numbers and the alphabet all by themselves.

The thing is you think you need "intimacy" but what you actually need is kitty. You go frick an attractive whore who does GFE and you walk out feeling like you just had 100 hours of therapy. Plus once you get some kitty, the stench of loser desperation starts to fade and you will have a much easier time with women. If we are going to teach any degenerate shit in our schools, we should teach this and not some
grooming bullshit.

That's the operative theory of therapy though. Instead of identifying that conditions external to a person do result in negative feelings, therapists believe that a combination of medical gaslamping and brain-destroying drugs can be used to keep people complacent and economically useful in situations that are anathema to mental health

I mean they aren't wrong the problem though is that the drugs that actually work to keep you productive are made illegal to limit them to the elite to do their work well.
The problem with therapy is that you cannot give every single person alive good therapy so your society still fails unless you change society for the better.
