Cell phones and all the things you mentioned at the beginning of your article are what I call traps. You are right it was a slow and steady takeover of people's lives and then one day (maybe) you look up from a dazed state and clue in (sometimes) that you are in the trap but mostly this doesn't happen. Yesterday I had gathered with friends and 2 of the male friends could barely put their phone down to enjoy the 'present' moment of eating, talking and laughing with everyone else. I see my granddaughter who is barely 13 on her phone and it is really sad to think how much time she obsesses about it. We are morally bankrupt for the most part - not everyone - but society is.

Very good. Thank you.

“secularization of sex“ What do you mean by that? Detachment from original intent? A form of entertainment?

I think a lot of our current problems began with the separation of sex from affection and an expression of commitment. When sex became merely a biological function, it lost that meaning and the responsibility attached.

There’s so much here, and you know me-I have an opinion Lol, but I’ll wait for someone else to express it
