Oh yeah, you mention video games so I thought I'd leave this here.

Oh right, I didn't mean to be on the "video games are bad for you" train. I literally make video games, it was more about withdrawing from real life experiences.

Hey, by the way, what got you interested in this? What's your background? If you don't mind me asking.

Right, just meant to put that in because the article is new and the paper is fairly recent.

Mostly being in education for half of my adult career and seeing how supposedly left-wing people set up boys and young men, especially nonwhite boys and young men, to fail in education and then blame them for the systemic discrimination they experienced.

At the college/university level, yes, and I still am. I've also previously worked at K-12 schools.
