Re: disgruntlement -- I think sex surrogates would very quickly solve the "incel problem."
In BBC's Sherlock, there's this idea that Sherlock is a "sociopath on the side of the angels." He could be a villain, but he has found a way to channel his natural talents and tendencies for good. I think there are certain people who have this talent/tendency to strongly influence the lives of an entire harem of sexual partners. I think this is largely seen as strongly negative by much of culture and society because there's no positive outlet for people who have such talents and tendencies. Also, the kind of power such therapists would wield needs a good education and various checks and balances, much as doctors and other kinds of therapists do.
Lots of people who could have been a naturally talented doctor in the 21st century were probably burned at the stake in centuries past. I think this is one kind of therapy which falls into a similar pattern. The world just wasn't ready for it before.

- stcredzero 5y agoI guess you would know her intent better, but in this particular regard, I am making a literal recommendation to go "Brave New World." I won't vouch for any of the other concepts from the book.
