A growing number of incels are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). That should concern us all.

    It’s kind of a perfect storm.

    Fifty years ago, Alvin Toffler wrote a book called ‘Future Shock.’ He knew that there would be people who couldn’t/wouldn’t adapt themselves to the coming change from the Industrial era to the Digital Age. We’ve got people using the most advanced tech to push the stupidest ideas.

        Toffler inspired science fiction writer John Brunner. Brunner wrote a book in 1969 and set it in the early 21st Century. He predicted things like middle class folks needing a room mate to make the rent, legalized marijuana, AI, and mass shootings. “Stand On Zanzibar.”
