I’d add too that it’s not a coincidence that Father in question here developed impulse control problems *after* a severe head trauma. It was a question of what thing he’d get addicted to, not if, after a big injury like that. It could have been any number of things, and his guardian angel worked overtime to make sure it wasn’t porn or opiates or booze, or other illegal substances when it so easily could have been.
I quit playing candy crush and their ilk (occasional player) because they started looking more and more like poker machines and Ive seen how devastating they are. Also, I grew up. That helped. I switched to paper crosswords, not the cryptic kind though. That nonsense just does my head in.
That was my thought too. This priest had some head trauma, then develops impulse control issues. It puts these games, social media, gambling apps etc.. in a much darker light. How many traumatized and/or mentally ill are exploited for money through these things? Not all of these are intended to exploited people necessarily, but they are often intentionally developed to be addicting. These companies know how destructive their products can be. I like the idea of warnings and restrictions on these just like additive substances have.
