This Russian guy used to run a femdom site called Young Goddess. (First rate fapp material and production values.) At some point he took it down and wrote a little manifesto on the destructive effects of porn and habitual masturbation.

And apparently he has an update from 2020:

Everybody in this thread is "watching" porn, like we're discussing movies. You're jerking off, masturbating, like those lab rats incessantly pressing a button to get a hit. That can't possibly be good for you in the long run as a man. So if you are spending n% of your life jerking off to pixels on a screen you need to ask yourself why.

does it? we're simply considering input -> output. society does not own your brain, do with it whatever pleases you. how you feel about your responsibility, if any, to your species is entirely your business, not mine. that's basically belief system (secular or spiritual) territory. do i have rights in respect to society? does society have rights in respect to me? these are interesting questions, but not what i had intended.

to be verbose: since smart people are a limited resource it is imho correct to note that an intellectually, emotionally, and life-focus demanding activity, such as chess, that has not (and can not) ever transfer knowledge gains in that closed system to other domains of concern to our species, is in fact, as a matter of simple math, sapping a precious resource.

(but i'm open to the suggestion that maybe chess is keeping society safe from otherwise unoccupied mad geniuses -- calling B.F. .. :)

> Does Chess sap the intellectual potential of humanity?

arguably, yes. it's a closed universe which at best provides entertainment for outsiders, unlike writing fiction which can inspire even revolutions, to say nothing of enriching minds and widening the emotional and intellectual horizons of individual readers. not sure if you were being serious about higher mathematics.

no, he looks like a freshly minted cold warrior. andrew roth should go and dig up scifi from bbc and compare "green-screen effects".
