VR ?? Virtual reality ? Making man impotent ?
Do you refer about man get VR with "perfect" submisse digital womenlike figures, and became unable to desire real women ?
I'm not using human nature to justify actions, only to explain them. Proposals that do not account for human nature are destined to fail.

I do expect VR to reduce birth rates just as online pornography has done so. Also, there is a societal trend of making men into women, and women into men, so that finally neither will find each other desirable. As this happens, men will turn to VR, and women will turn to cats, I guess.

The problem of overpopulation is already solved, we merely have to wait for it to take effect.

That's actually the description of most any doctor. The role of the doctor is to keep the patient entertained long enough for nature to take its course. Medicine is still in its infancy.
