MALE SEDATION HYPOTHESIS

 A

The "Male Sedation Hypothesis" posits that modern digital environments—particularly pornography, video games, and social media—are pacifying young men by providing them with sufficient stimulation to satisfy their innate drives for status and reproduction. This, in turn, may reduce their motivation for real-world engagement and competition.

KRMA

Thus all the human wants, desires, likes, requirements etc. are categorised into four categories in our scriptures as under: 1. DHARMA (ethics, religion) 2. ARTHA (wealth-unlimited worldly materialistic objects) 3. KAMA (enjoyment - Desire to enjoy wealth for sense gratification) and 4. MOKSHA (Liberation-emancipation from the cycle of birth and death).  

For (1 ) DHARMA and (4) MOKSHA, a man should always constantly do Purushartha (efforts) and should never leave it to Prarabdha. As for (2) ARTHA and (3) KAMA he should totally leave them to Prarabdha as he is going to get only that much of wealth (ARTHA) and enjoyment (KAMA) which is destined in his Prarabdha (luck, fate, fortune) and nothing more in spite of all his Purushartha (efforts)

FREEDOM OF ACTION - NO FREEDOM TO ESCAPE REACTION 

 T here is a categorical statement in Geeta (with an imperative direction) that 

KARMANYE VADHIKARASTE MA FALESHU KADACHANA 

meaning your authority (ADHIKAR) lies only in doing your action but never on the fruit of it. People misinterpret its meaning that you have to labour or do your job and perform your duty without any initiative, any expectation or desire to get in return any fruit (labour charges, emoluments etc.) either in terms of money, commodities or service. 

This interpretation is not correct. Nobody would like to work without any desire or expectation to get in return anything like emoluments, labour charges etc. for his work. Only the thieves and such other wrong-doers would do their wrong deeds, theft etc. without any desire to get any punishment as a fruit of their wrong deeds

 The correct interpretation of the above statement in Geeta is that you have got the authority (control) in doing your action i.e. you are totally competent and independent to do any action you like but then you have no claim (control) on the fruit of it. That means you are not competent enough and you have no power or authority to escape or avoid facing the resultant fruit of your action. You are independent to do any action, of course, at your cost and risk, but then you must be prepared for the consequences. You have full control (ADHIKAR) over your actions but no control whatsoever over their results (Reactions)
