Much of humanity is emotionally damaged. In Japan, it's not too strange to see a person waking around with a lifelike sex doll, treating it like a person with whom they're sharing a relationship. I.e. Go to the park, shop for shoes, have a nice dinner.
It's a sad state of affairs. The power of human abstraction is impressive.
It is infantile, though.
Literally children in grown up bodies.
Decadence coming home to roost....
