Reading Elliot Rodger’s autobiography, I am struck by how much of his life consists of video games and films. Those compose a large chunk of his memories from an early age. Yet, he cannot describe any individual game. By contrast, he describes a rock he wanted to climb in detail.
There is also bathos. On holiday in Morocco, he finds a 12 y.o. relative making out with a girl his age (16). This moment will “haunt him forever”. Remarkably, at 17 he had “supervised travel assistance” to get to the airport. Young people really are crippled today.

Couldn’t say I was that much better. This is a product of our technological world, partly.
