Statistics show that youth violence decreased after video games became popular. That’s the kind of evidence that satisfies me. How about you? What would convince you that you are wrong? I have read research showing that porn actually saves marriages and reduce sex crimes. Basically because it delivers a safe way for people to satisfy their dark desires. I unfortunately don’t have links readily available to add here (didn’t expect to need it). But perhaps do a bit of research yourself and you might be surprised.
- barrysteve 4y agoA reduction of desire is exactly the dulling of the soul we mean. This guy is losing motivation to find a better partner and you show statistics which support that very idea?? Porn does not satisfy, as you can tell by the OP's discontent in life. It dulls like anethesia. I can't provide satisfactory evidence, nobody can. The internal state of somebody's soul is not measurable and has to be estimated from context.
- deterministic 4y agoYou absolutely can measure, to some degree, the internal state of somebody’s brain (what you call “Soul”). Is the person happy or trying to commit suicide? Now there is one very rough measure of somebody’s internal brain state. Is the person constantly punishing him/herself? Now there is another. Is the person a sociopath? Another one. The last one can even be measure using a brain scanner. No need for human interpretation there. I assume you are religious (using words like “Soul”) so perhaps remember Jesus saying “You will know them by their fruit”. In other words, you can measure their “Soul” by what they do.
