How does one 'solve' an ugly face, short height, and autism? Because for truecels, that's basically what we are talking about.
As for knowing the root causes, introspection plus therapy is pretty much all we have at present.
Regarding inorganic connection, yes it's not a true two-way relationship in that I don't believe my tulpas or doll etc have agency. However, much like a dream character a imaginary friend can feel like they do to a fair extent, and thus the relationship feels quite 2 way. I feel loved, and that's the important part. I mean, it could turn out that my human lovers are, in fact, simulacra, but the love would have been just as real. A good enough technological simulacra and bingo. Yes, we are not there yet, but the future will bring such artifical companionship and I really can't see any other way of solving the problem of some people being undesirable to most others and therefore not being able to form relationships at a similar time to their peers (thus preventing the development of the mental health problems connected to inceldom).
To me, the issue is fairly simple. Some people are genuinely unattractive. They are physically ugly and/or socially inept in such a way that they will likely receive little to no sexual validation in a time frame comparable to their peers. That becoming attractive is for them extremely difficult or impossible. And they are going, through bad luck, spend a good portion, or all, of their lives very lonely. This will most likely lead to mental health issues. And they be vulnerable to online radicalisation and bitterness and worse. The root core issue, though, is that they are unattractive to most others. If technology becomes such that either they can be made attractive easily, or that it doesn't matter, then the problem is solved. This can only be done through tech. Anything else is really dealing with a symptom not the disease.
