    >I'm not sure I would credit Murakami with being that influential.

    Kobo Abe, Kendzaburo Oe were before and more influential. Murakami came after that to my life in the form of sarcastic mentions of superficial _intelligentsia_ addicted to his writings.

    The problem is that gaming takes much more of your "real" life as a kid: learning physics and mathematics and programming and biology: you know, stuff that matters.

    I am old and I do not have time for gaming and, oh, boy, isn't that a time sucking activity. When I binge Frasier in upteenth time I can do it in background. Have you ever tried playing game in the background?

    Books and gaming are 100% time sucking activity while music and TV/movies are more tolerant to that.

    We went from hard hitting heroin escapism of books to soon to become (with advent of Internet streaming on your side second screen) light ganja addiction to movies and TV to the heroin on steroids: gaming.

    Back to childhood. Childhood is not supposed to be "happy". It is supposed to be very difficult and demanding, stressful and painful and if you are under delusion of giving your kids happy childhood, good luck suing your 30-year old son out of your basement. In the past people brought kids because they really needed them as a base for a quiet dignified childhood, now people make kids as pets, to groom them and play with them.

    Kids are not pets. Stop spoiling them with bullshit activities, be tiger dads and helicopter moms.

    And there bloody is no such thing as "teenage rebellion", it's a Western invention of degenerate lousy parents.

    >Working and middle class black people

    If by black you mean African American, then we are talking about unicorn rarity. If I see a black Ph. D. I will always presume he or she was born in Africa, because that's what statistics says.

    There are 40 M blacks in USA and 186 M blacks in Nigeria.: 4.5 times more. And it's easier for a rich upper class kid from Nigeria to get into US science-intensive organization, than for a descendants of centuries of slavery to get there.

    The inertia of the insanely unfair and uncivilized treatment of blacks in USA is still underestimated.

    Mayflower crackers _created_ a whole nation with inferior subculture and inferior genes.
