Im so glad you invited Scott to your podcast😁 He's awesome. I read his book, "The Four", when I was in junior high (I was 16 at the time) and thought that his take on how big tech was preying on our baser instincts was spot on. It helped sparked my interest in evolutionary psychology and I've been hooked ever since.
Awful interview, Chris, awful. Expected you to challenge this anti white male, anti flyover America bigot. You really dropped the ball. Think you're enjoying your life too much.
it's so interesting how brillantly aware and 100% out of touch this old man is. Dude went to work on Tuesday morning and didn't leave until Thursday morning to "send a message". lol...maybe back in the old days a boss would care or recognize the effort...now, that means nothing, as no matter what, you will be replaced and outsourced. Hard work means nothing anymore. Masculinity means nothing anymore. Culture as we know it is doomed. Best to just wear eye makeup, lipstick, and announce your pronouns and get the raise that way because at least then, they are too scared to fuck with you. ....hell, this cuck moved to England for some reason. boi must be insane.

It's not just that, I think it's also hope. You're willing to work your ass off if you have confidence that it will pay off in the future, that is you have hope for the future. But if you know you're going to work your butt off and you don't believe it's going to get you anything, why do it, why work so hard?
Yet in the end you have no idea what that means. Because it just sounds good. LMAO.. this is what happens when you can't even creatively express yourself. But rather "Copy and Paste". Sad. Truly Sad.
Plenty of young people bust their ass work hard are complete hustlers. Still, housing is out of control, taxation out of control, cost for education out of fucking control. I’m 31 and an engineer same as my grandfather, difference is at his time you could pay for a college degree with a part time summer job and a house was only ~2x the starting engineer salary. Today you need loans if you don’t have scholarship, and houses are 4-5x starting engineers salary, in places like Seattle it's more like 6-7x starting salary. Every classmate I had in our program who tried working and going to school either failed out or had horrible grades and a rough start to their career. These aren’t problems we created, we weren’t alive yet. I worked as hard as my grandparents and harder than my parents and I will not live as good a life. I will likely be supporting my parents as they retire.
This. They are blaming men for stuff that is literally out of their control. Cannot get a house? wow a loser. Cannot get a mate in the age of tinder? Wow a loser. Cannot get good wages in the age of inflation? wow a loser.
@@Grombrindal91 sorry what i meant is taxes are lower for the richest people. and actually, for the poorest. its higher now for the middle class. but not by enough that i would call it out of control lol. its possibly increased 5%. We still pay quite less in taxes compared to other states that do better than us.
Years ago education was subsidized by the government. Republicans have over the years whittled away these subsidies so that there is very little if any left.
It's not just Millennials. I am solidly Gen X and I turn 50 in 2024. At that point in my father's life (30 years ago this year) he was at the peak of his earning, had just bought a fresh piece of land, and was planning to build a nice home in which to live the rest of his life. Which he did, and he has, and he's still there. And even though he had to take early retirement a few years later, due to markets undercutting and destroying the industry he was in, he still managed to financially be much, much further ahead (at 50) than I will be. Most Gen X won't be able to retire until they turn 70 (if at all) and a lot of us will be trying to cobble together retirement income from a number of sources, vs. the pensions which still existed for some Boomers. Almost nobody (save us military folk) will have anything like a pension. And the 401K has already proven itself to be insufficient (combined with Social Security) as a lasting source of income for people living past the age of 80.
@Brad Torgersen, I agree 100%. It drives me crazy that they will only talk about boomers and millennial's-never mentioning the entire generation in between. I'm nearly 50 and my take home pay is less than 40K, I have to pay out of my gross salary; taxes, retirement, and healthcare, which leaves me living (or existing) paycheck to paycheck. My only option is getting a second job just to keep my head above water. My parents at 50-3 kids on 1 income, a pension, affordable mortgage, 2 cars, vacations (whatever that means) and savings for the future. Not to mention they could get a job with or without a higher ed diploma. If you are 55 or under, chances are your future looks pretty bleak.
Gen X- we are still the forgotten generation, lol. First generation to be financially worse off than their parents, but let's talk about the millennials! Sigh.
Gen X was the start of the downhill spiral. The Baby Boomers had it best. Every generation since then has gotten progressively worse. When I was young, we still had a poor part of town where all the poor people lived in housing. Now that's gone and gentrified and the poor people get to live in tent cities. I feel sorry for the millennials and zoomers. I know their pain and their pain still to come. I firmly believe that when the history of this time will be told in the future, this time frame of the textbook will be called the "downfall of the American Empire"
Being Gen X, a geographer and economist there are a lot of issues that are never addressed about the boomers. At the root of the problem is the extreme racism that exists in the US, and it worked out great for boomers, they never had to pay what economists call the "real cost" for anything, they could just kick it down the line and leave it as debt for everyone else. This has some history in the US, people living off of other people's labor certainly wasn't invented by boomers, but they made it such an extreme norm with bs like "the FIRE economy" when they started dropping race, just treat Gen X as economic minorities too. Global warming is a perfect example of real cost, the science is 100 yrs old, petrochemical companies knew about it in the 50s, realized how devastating it would be in the 70s so they just hid it and started lobbying against alternative energy measurements, Carter put solar panels on the white house and boomers went "screee! they aren't my aesthetic!" and voted Reagan. In gratitude Reagan destroyed economic security for Gen X, flatlined minimum wage which was redefined as "entry level" too, destroyed unions, on and on.
What a great nuanced conversation. I met my husband at a bar in college on campus in my early 20’s. I blew him off because he physically wasn’t my type. He heard I was sick and came to my house to ask if there was anything he could do to help while I was ill. I knew he was the one at that very moment. We have been married 25 years and have 3 children. My son is now married and he’s SUCH a good father because my husband showed him what a good father looked like.
I'm a college educated man, but it just bothers me how this guy views uneducated men. As if they are stupid, angry, and conservative. He has no ability to conceive that men can have wisdom and a sound morality without going to a university.
Hell, I'm a PhD student. This guy is the epitome of the reason we're hurtling towards a bad future. It's because people like him were behind the wheel and continue to be behind the wheel and refuse to let go of their own failed "scientific" experiments. The future will be more conservative and harsh because of people like him.
Same here. It pains me how "uneducated" has morphed into a pejorative, like it's some kind of indictment of one's character. Most people who claim to be "highly educated," are moderately or marginally educated.
@@hunterbidensaidslesion1356 Most people who are "educated" are just LUCKY. Lucky to be born in a decent stable family, with money to send them to college, etc. But the gatekeeping of undesirables from education is what makes them mistakenly think they're somehow better. In reality, in a fair setting, they are painfully average.
I am a retired high school teacher. I worked very hard to not only establish relationship with all my students but especially my boys who struggled behaving in class let alone doing work (Spanish class required for college in my district) and primarily distracting other students. I knew I had failed this particular make freshman who daily entertained himself by distracting others and exhausting me. Parent only cared about what he liked doing. When I asked for a male AP to discuss motivation and hopefully establish relationship with this student the AP ASKED ME “WHY DO YOU CARE?” In 30 seconds he asked me “WHY DO YOU CARE”? THREE TIMES. This for me was the last straw - not the only reason but I took early retirement. I still worry for that young man and many others.
A telling anecdote. I wouldn't ever mouth off to a teach like that. But I'm sure you or the AP said, "I'm your teacher, that's why." it seems that many young people and their parents reject learning altogether, especially if they are not immediately rewarded financially. Many young people, especially males, cannot defer gratification and think long term. Also, just the act of sitting quietly, reading, conjugating Spanish verbs, masculine and feminine nouns, etc, gives one a generic exercise in organizing and processing information. People who reject a good education given freely are philistines and vulgarians who don't know which end is up. That sort of think is all too common.
I appreciate your comment as a person concerned for education and our youth but I want to assure you "I'm your teacher that's why" - is NOT a tool in my box. I would have said it's not respectful to the learning environment - tied it in to the classroom rules; which was I respect your decision NOT to learn; but I won't allow your behavior to interfere with others' learning - which I did say to him multiple times. What bothered me most was the AP 's lack of vision in working with especially male students who struggle in the classroom learning- situation - not the kid. I was hoping that as a male he could help my student in a way that I wasn't able to. Furthermore I didn't use the traditional memorization techniques - we read stories and learned from contextualization in stories through repetition - I worked hard to make it "FUN" with lots of paired partner activities - kids had the freedom to work together in the hall, on the floor, moving desks around etc and that freedom was he couldn't handle. You can tell it still bothers me! Thanks for commenting.
@@profeh3346 As a person who had 9 years of college, and three degrees in STEM disciplines, I really loathed day after day of rote memorization. However, when you want to learn an esoteric subject - especially something abstruse - a certain amount of memorization is absolutely necessary to get down the rudiments. We did a lot of memorization of Spanish basics - but our wonderful teacher broke it up a little with songs and activities. But make no mistake about it, Senorita Irene was in charge. Boy, am I glad. I got proficiency credit for free at Big Ten University, and graduated to a couple of beautiful Mexican girlfriends in Arizona. I would never have garnered that in the hall with some pimple-faced coeval. Deferring to authority is an opportunity lost on most these days. Also, the idea of sitting quietly, reading, and organizing information on a page, a screen, and in your head is paramount. We must do it whenever we can. We must ponder. Alas, most of life is not "fun," nor should it be. Otherwise, industrial accidents and willful negligence occur.
My Dad's cousin remarked that when she was young people would go out and have drinks and socialize all the time. She expressed how sad she felt that her kids and nephews didn't really do that anymore. It's too expensive, maybe they go for 1 single beer ever 3 weeks but apart from that they just go to work and that's it.
My existence involves work. Then home… there is deep resentment and rage towards what the generations before me have done. And I believe is was out of pure neglect and arrogance. Entitlement. This idea they are unique and special and have something us younger people don’t possess
Don't forget it is dangerous for men to go out and be rambunctious, a woman's words hold way too much power in the court of public opinion. Younger men are a lot more cautious about potentially making a woman uncomfortable because a simple false accusation will ruin his life.
@@dusanslavnic4727 Very true. The "me too" movement went too far and left men shell shocked and confused on how to interact with women without potentially being accused of wrong doing. Many men likely took the safest path by minimizing interactions with women or are guarded with women and interact with caution.
@@micclay not gonna argue. Look around you. Or maybe outside your neighborhood. Blue collar middle class families are being crushed and ground into dust
I was born in 1958, bought my first new car at 18 and my first California house at 22 while working as a Deputy Sheriff. Good luck to anyone doing that now. My father co-signed but I made the payments on both. I pity young people born into the declining mess that is 2023 America or who come to adulthood now.
My parents bought their first house in 1967 with $5000 down. They had a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at $125 per month. An average house in my city goes for $1.2 million. We complain men are not getting married and starting families. How doe they do this at the current state of the job market and housing costs.
Maybe instead of pitying young people, why don't you help them? Vote for policies that would make their lives better? We can create a better future for young people instead of just saying, "Good luck!"
@@BunnyWatson-k1w they don't. I checked out of society a while back. Got my college degree and now i work and live at home and save my money and invest it into index funds and etfs. I am not going to participate in society. I will never be able to own a home till my ripe old age, which by then I wont be starting a family or having kids. This country has locked me out of being married and having kids because of the awful economic state we are in. Like this above commenter his life basically started at 18. mine wont till way later. I wont be able to own a home till way older. If i was able to own a home on some basic job like deputy sheriff at 22 I likely would have been married and had kids by 24 because I actually had something to provide for a women. But now I don't so have fun. Birth rate dropping soon to be 2 workers to 1 retiree. Have fun retiring when there is no body working anymore.
Quiet quitting is absolutely real. Men around 30 yo that I know are only working enough to pay rent and monthly bills. I quit my old job during the foolishness the past few years and started a small business. I now work half of the hours I used to and make a little more money than I used to. Society is losing hard workers.
And I wonder how hard you’ll have to work to make enough to offer your employees the staple benefits and a sufficient wage. I don’t mean to poke, but the odds are stacked high against us. Even if I started my mowing company tomorrow, I dread the paperwork and forms and taxes.
I was fire from my old job for being a hard worker even did alot of ot so yea now a day some company dont want hard worker just want yes man pple if they are told to work without pay
Well, they wanted socialism in USA, right? In USSR, what you call quiet quitting wasn't abnormal, it was the norm. So they are getting just what they wanted. This is what socialism looks like, folks. If there is no way of getting forward in life by hard work, people aren't going to do that.
I saw this item here in the Netherlands on teenagers and young men, still living at home, just not coming out of their bedrooms. It's frightening, and I suspect there are effects of being able to withdraw from physical society to online 'society', that we can't even foresee yet...
I think this internet age is going to be the beginning of the end for humans. Everybody knows the truth about everything now. Look at the USA, it is a shambles now and getting worse. It is not looking good.
@@davidaustrian9455 No it won't be the end, but some 'natural selection' will take place, as it always does. Nature finds its way, and we are a part of nature, something we tend to forget...
I work with 20-50 year old men in chronic pain. There is a massive difference in mindset between the older and younger men. I find that many of the 20-35 year olds have a lot of their issues stemming from loneliness and lack of status. They retreat into their mind or numb themselves with video games, social media, etc and their unhappiness / inability to improve themselves manifests in pain. Think, pain makes you not want to move and stay away from whatever is threatening your body. Id be curious to see if there’s any correlation between pain symptoms and some of the data suggested here. Just some random thoughts I had during this great interview.
Work with how? I'm almost sixty. The pain management cult left me on the curb a good five years ago. I scream myself awake. Cry myself to sleep. Doctors won't even acknowledge I'm alive. Pain means nothing. It's has made me rather bitter, I'll admit.
Good observation . We know that regions of the world 🌎 with the greatest longevity, blue zones , give credit to not only diet but lifestyle , strong communities with social and emotional support eg walk out to the town square and talk to people , play cards, etc
@@brianmeen2158 no idea. Maybe from over stimulation? I know people with friends and social circles, yet they say they’re depressed or lonely. They say you can be lonely but surrounded by people lol. Think it’s a mindset?
In summary: he prescribes rugged individualism for men. Even when it comes to sex and relationships, men should still take all the risks. This is after he acknowledges all the systemic changes and problems that have rigged the landscape. It's great that Scott Galloway is talking about these issues, but this is becoming a trendy issue and he's taking the safe path. He doesn't want to ruffle too many feathers. Those sweet BBC and CNN gigs wouldn't be possible if he offended the certain groups and ideologies. Another way to look at it: look at what he didn't talk about. Topics such as the family law court system that is rigged in favor of women.
I’m female . I don’t want anyone to get “ raked through the coals “ in a marriage. There seems to be only a few options 1- become activists, become lawyers, March in the streets, call yourselves “ mens pro marriage coalition “ 2- call your congress rep . 3 proceed with life , if you meet someone and want to get married , write up a prenup so it’s clear and fair for both 4- marry someone who makes about the same amount of money, so you don’t get crushed vs marry a stay at home mother and then she has to “go for the jugular vein “ to survive if you get divorced 5- remain single and enjoy life. I had an uncle who remained single , on Saturday’s he drove to a nearby town to spend the day with his “lady friend “ 💋
@@Tamar-sz8ox The split thing is fine, the issue being the court favors women. It's just nature, because men go easier on woman, consciously or unconsciously, but are harsher on other men. Meanwhile, the feminist movement encourages a similar mentality in the women that occupy those positions of power. Psychologically, for a man, another man is competition, while a women is a potential asset, at its face value. Broships take more time to develop, the man has to prove himself an asset to another man. Then again, some of the harshest judges towards females are the female judges.
@@thehaloofthesun7174 I hear you loud and clear . Good commentary and it’s helpful to me personally , for a better understanding. Your right about the sisterhood , we are wired I guess to come together, in our own way for survival
Someone should clue these guys in, they shipped the jobs overseas. That knocked the bottom out of future climbing the generation ladder to a richer future then their parents.
Love that he mentions the PPE numbers. My middle class family who has members which run a small business didn't get jack shit yet self sustaining companies who didn't need money got support.
I would say 65% of what this guy is saying is on point especially in regards to our neglected of young Men population. Historically a Society that ignores its young men will self destruct and many times in violent ways.
Yeah, 65% is about right. He comes off as a leftie and they cannot solve the problem. They caused it. The reason I suspect he's left is his remark about the new government in Italy. The new leader in Italy is NOT anything close to fascist or fascist-lite.
They should have had more girls. There are many relatively cheap and easy ways to select for girl children. Have more girls, when you have too many alienated girls, they don't violently overthrow society.
@@steelearmstrong9616 Very odd. I saw your response. Not sure why that would be deleted. A bit depressing but many of us feel the same way. I choose to continue fighting. I wish you well, too.
More so for women, since loneliness is a state men are more used to. Loneliness is almost the default experience for most men. For women, it’s an abnormal experience.
@@danielplainview6527 ”Men have problem = Woman’s bigger problem” 🙄 Also thinking that the default position for men is loneliness is incredibly wrong. Tribal, war, men’s groups, etc. The issues that have been showing itself the last 10 to 15 years are different
@@KD400_ I do think men are better at being alone than women but I don’t think it’s the default position. I also believe it is a very specific mental trait, like some form of autism (I read about it a while ago but I can’t remember the gene)
This starts off interesting then degenerates. And ends on a really bad note, when Chris asks his guest what advice he would give young men, and the reply boils down to "Concentrate all your effort on getting rich and getting laid." Basically, an hour-long conversation with someone only capable of being interesting for half an hour.
@@thatnobodyguy1535 Today I learned the main issue men face on Bumble is shirtlessness, not the under 6' feet shorties getting filtered out by over 80% of women, no sir. (I am 6'2'' so I don't have a horse on this race) Not the fact that most men will never, ever, by definition alone be 1%.
It amazes me how progressive Americans like Scott will talk about how concerned they are regarding Italy’s political direction, without even bothering to acknowledge the sheer scale and magnitude of the US’s record of crimes against humanity, past, present, and likely future. That hypocrisy is a big part of why people are turning away from the virtue signaling, “morally superior”, progressive parties.
I'm A Baby Boomer and agree that we had many things better. Most of us grew up with stay at home mothers who made nice meals, were available and taught us many things. Girls took Home Economics and learned the basics of cooking and sewing, while boys learned shop classes which helped them learn more about tools. We had more electives. College was cheap and easy to get into. You could work your way through easily if you lived at home and worked full time all summer or worked a few hours weekly all year. Rents were lower, too. Between globalization and urban overcrowding from too much immigration, I think the average two parent family is much worse off. Even those who try to live in cheap housing and budget carefully, it's nearly impossible for a mother to stay hone with children unless the father makes an income well above average for their area.
I am a baby boomer who was raised by a divorced woman. Her mother and three sisters were either divorced mothers or have never been married single mothers. I was a latch key child before the term was used. Life wasn't easy, but I persevered, worked hard, and retired at age 55.
Yes, well put Barbara. New York is the worst with trying to afford family life as young parents. Just started my family and its really hard. I would love to have my wife stay at home. I just cant afford it. I make a decent salary also. Health care costs are absurd, property taxes are absurd, housing/ rents are absurd. I try to stay optimistic. But its hard.
@@DOUGLAS55ish Dougie, shes talking in general. Congrats to you sir. Hopefully you can help some other young men that may be in a similar situation growing up and teach them what worked for you.
@@fallyyerr8170 if you can live where manufactured homes are allowed and land is cheap, you can buy an older manufactured home and restore it. That's a good path to a wife staying home, but she would have to learn to do painting and drywall.
I am in my late thirties. And have seen this storm coming for a long time. Back in the day, we as men were told if we worked hard, got a good woman, and when to church on Sundays. We could have a lovely home with a backyard, kids, and a dog. But nowadays I can have a dog but kids maybe if I get a raise this year. And what if she leaves she will take the house, the dog, and the kids. And if you are lucky you can have the car.
Yeah I’m mid thirties. They didn’t tell us that we’d have to grind to get it. They had us thinking that if tried and really wanted it boom, we’d get it all! They blue pilled us essentially…😞
@Brian Meen I remember that I was at a BBQ with the Family we were having a good time: And an elder told us. The younger generation, "You have it easier than we had it. You all need to work harder!" (None of them had a bachelor's. And half of them never finished High School.) Shocking and if you ask for "help." Said to us "we did it all on our own," which was a lie like they got spanked so hard that they could not sit down, for a week. Come on! I have nothing against boomers they give us good music, but they dumped us down in a hole. That going to take years to recover.
Rappers have been calling women “bitches” for a while, talk about dealing drugs and violence, but Tate is the bad guy (charging $49/month) for actually trying to help men. Unbelievable. Why is this energy reserved for Tate and rappers get a free pass?
How old are you? Where we’re you during early-hip hop and gangsta rap in 90s? There were numerous of conversations and debate throughout the 90s especially from civil rights leaders about the romanticization and glorification of violence, drugs, and degradation of women in rap music lol
This whole conversation has me terrified for my son. He immediately went into the military, which was great. It was the only thing he ever wanted to do. He never planned for anything else. He ended up hating it and when he got out, he has just stagnated. He lives with me. He works at a grocery store. He spends the vast majority of his time vaping and playing video games. I am a single mom. I did everything I could to teach him how to be a good man, but obviously I can only do so much. His dad dipped out when he was 2 so I gave him other male role models as I could... but what do I do without just ripping his balls off by being an overbearing mom. I want him to go to school. I want for him to find fulfillment. I want him to have a life. I want him to want those things, too.
@@absolutetruth3290 to be clear, I did push him out of the nest. He moved out when he was 18. He went into the military. He lived in Japan for 4 years. I don't treat him like a child. I don't cook for him or do his laundry. I don't treat him like a baby. I always raised my kids to be self-sufficient out of necessity because I couldn't do it all. The problem is that he doesn't aspire... His sister moved out when she was 18, too. She went to college, went to graduate school, got a job, has a career, bought a house and is doing well. So, what's the difference? I have been insisting he enroll in post-secondary to continue on with what he liked to do while in the Navy (and Michigan makes that easy by paying for it). He is "thinking about it" but I feel like he is just losing ground... wasting time. Whenever I push, he shuts down, so that's ineffective.
@@kristinsewell1441 As someone who's been in his position, tell him he's got to move out in 3 months and at the 2 month mark, give him an official notice if he hasn't taken any steps. He's going to keep sinking into further and further self loathing because his life isn't going the way he wants and he'll start to or already blames you for his problems. Right now he's scared to make the change so you have to make it for him. I spent years in that mental state so there's no guarantee his current state will end any time soon. It may seem harsh to kick him out, and he may hate you for a time, but eventually he will appreciate you doing it for him as he gains independence and confidence. You mentioned he works at the grocery store so money wise he should have enough to rent out a room. Maybe he even has friends who are also looking to move out so they can room together.
He can go to college practically for free using VA vocational benefits. Set a move out date and help him find an apartment. Have a sit down and give him fair warning. Then follow through and baby step him through it. I put money down on a small house - my girls live together there and pay the mortgage while they’re in college. When they’re done, hopefully some money will come back which I can use to give them some help, like weddings, first homes. It will work out but yes, you have to push them out. Good luck
@@sunshinelively he can go to college (first 2 years) totally for free in Michigan. I don't make the kind of money to buy a second house or pay anything toward his living expenses. He would have to work full time. We had a conversation about all of this. Not the first one by any means, but he seems to understand my concerns. He contributes a significant portion of his paycheck to our collective living expenses (food, utilities, etc) and often complains that he has no money for anything else. I told him this is not because I charge too much, but because he doesn't earn enough to pay his own way. He needs to go to college (trades included) and take on a profession. If I were to get sick or die (I had cancer already) he would not have me to pay the bills. He has no back up plan. I think he gets it. I am not pushing him out as long as I continue to see progress toward self-sufficiency. He cannot fritter away his time gaming. A bit is fine, but not at the expense of self-sufficiency.
CPA here. Boomers are a dichotomy financially. The averages are skewed. 1/10 are doing well. 1/10 will be ok. 8/10 are broke. Most of them failed at life. They’re 60+ with nothing saved and 26 years to go on the mortgage on the big house with two people living in it that they won’t sell because the wife won’t downsize. They’re utter failures. Despite high interest rates of the 80’s, housing was abundant and cost 10 to 20% of what it does today. My Dad bought our little home in KC for $30,000 in 1980 4:11 and today it’s worth $250,000. These people ran up their cards, refinanced the house 4 times and owe more now than what they purchased it for.
This is quickly becoming my favourite UA-cam channel. Love some of the credible guest you have on here that are educated and not just talking pure bro science.
Early Gen Xer here. We paid into social security for our entire working lives. I saved as much as I could since the age of 40. Solidly middle class on my social worker salary. I have not seen any transfer of wealth. I will need social security to survive in retirement.
The transfer of wealth happened to the mostly ultra wealthy, and a little to the upper middle class. The middle class definitely did not benefit from the Pandemic Trump tax cuts to the rich.
The wealth is being transferred to multinational corporations who aren’t held accountable as an individual human. Late Gen Xer here and yes, we are screwed. To have raised a healthy, secure, close-knit family is our best bet in the modern world!
We also transferred a lot of it to grifters who claimed the COVID insurance while they were working. There were 2X claimants over those actually not working.
GenX here as well. Worked and contributed to social security since age 14. Full-time employment since 17 and social security is anticipated to completely be bankrupt the year before I start to draw. It steams me when boomers with stock portfolios, pensions and 401k accounts complain about how little social security pays out.
"I went up and talked to this girl, in the full light of midday sun, while she was there with another guy and another girl, and without the aid of alcohol, that is NOT easy"...yeah, that was in the 70's? Try that as a 20 or 30 year old today, you'll end up in jail for harrassment. If it was hard back then, today it's fucking impossible.
Agreed. it's easy for him to say "gosh my fellow democrats did this metoo thing, but you kids today need to get some balls!" But try to recover from some woman running to HR to accuse you of totally raping her by asking to borrow her stapler.
Not rocket surgery, but Scott's little monologue on what people should be doing in their 30s was an excellent reminder on how being a bit more outgoing and inquisitive can lead to all sorts of amazing possibilities.
Its hilarious to read this comment section. Fighting over why things are shit instead of figuring out what everyone can do to change that. Its always very ironic to see people agree about something and yet insult one another over a slightest difference in view as to how that thing came to be. I think that is one of the successes of the controlled media, figuring out that if you spit out 100 different versions of the events, people will fight over what version of events is correct, spinning their wheels, instead of finding common points and working on those. I bet you a million dollars that I dont have that if people on different ends of our current divide each made a list of things they want the future to be for their kids, most of those would coincide. Finding common goals like this is what our society needs.
31 y/o woman here. I'm a business owner. I did everything they told me. I've wised up since then. I can't afford to have kids or a buy a home, I can barely afford the 1 bed apartment I rent and I earn £50 per hour. So, i've decided to just fuck it all. I don't spend on anything aside from food and bills and some small businesses I support. Why should I bust my arse anymore?? Why should I have kids knowing they'll face worse hardship than me? I'm not letting that happen. Frugality is the way forward, and avoiding bad debt is key. I'll fence sit my way through life because 'hard work = better life' is an illusion. I don't want for much. It would be nice to afford to buy my dad a knee replacment, he's still working at 71. It costs 13k private. It would be nice to buy some land and live on it, but i'd need hundreds of thousands of pounds just to live like peasants did back in the 1500s... I've decided to just do the minimal amount of work to free up my time so I can work on what matters to me. Fuck it.
No sh*t?! You earn £50 per hour?! For 60-70 hours a week?! (Because if I could earn that much per hour, I'd work until I dropped, of course!) And where's your husband in all this? No mention! Why aren't guys beating a path to your door? No mention! You could combine resources, split costs, etc. No mention!
Hard graft isn't it? £50 per hour is a good pay day - depending on whether you have a ltd company or not. If you have a ltd company then that could easily drop to £15 and then yes it would be very tough. If you mean self employed, then that's a very good pay day. No kids... no mention of husband/BF/GF etc. Unless you gamble... if you are single... you should be able to afford more than that... but as i say.. if you have a ltd company and you are on £50 an hour... then it could be equivalent to £15-£20 an hour.. and then yes... i can see how you might struggle.
@@alexmuenster2102 Not just taxes. If ppl have a ltd company they have expenses too. Salaries maybe, travel, purchases and a whole load of others that you might not expect when being contracted out at a certain amount per hour/day. Not only taxes.
I feel the exact same. 30. No bf/husband. No kids. Living with family. I do not care. I did my best. I'm planning one nice big trip overseas before I pass. Enjoying cheap hobbies in the meantime.
"You're not going to end up with dangerous men, you're going to end up with useless men" "I think everything you're saying is fascinating, I'm taking notes" The most fascinating part of this, is why a prof from NYU seems to have never run across these ideas before. Our higher education echo chamber has some catastrophic deficiencies.
You should really check out his blog. He’s incredibly inquisitive but obviously can’t know everything. He’s open to new views, THAT should be your takeaway.
In today's shit take - someone is interested in a different perspective than their's, and some (presumably useless) man on the internet makes fun of that person.
@@Ochtone It's not really a good point. Nothing about that statement says "I've never heard that before". In educated circles, this could either be polite interest or a new twist on an existing opinion. If you truly listened to this whole podcast (honestly) and don't think that the prof isn't nuanced enough to consider that, you didn't listen to it to understand.
It’s hard to take anything he said regarding lonely men seriously. Especially when there was zero mention of how even average women generally don’t want the average men that they qualify for and are genuinely checking for them. Or how dating apps and social media has had a largely detrimental impact on how women select men for sex/dating/relationships. At the end of the day we as men react and adapt to how women move and what they respond positively to.
@@unnecessaryapostrophe4047 1) if you’re going to quote me at least type out what I said correctly. 2) if you honestly don’t understand what I meant by “how women move” that’s honestly sad. To be more clear we as men adapt and tailor our approach and behavior towards women on what women respond positively to and the type of men they select the most sexually. If we see the majority of x type of woman we like goes for y type of dude you best believe we’re going to study tf out of these men and their interactions and tailor ourselves to best match that paradigm within reason. It’s literally how every man on the planet develops their “game”.
This is largely an American phenomenon just FYI. In Europe the matching and dating scene in general is not nearly as skewed. Coming from an American who used these apps and has dated extensively in both continents.
@@williamdraken6018 can you elaborate a bit? Do you mean that in the European country you've been in people search for partners closer to their own 'value' more than in the US?
This episode is a great exercise in listening and respecting an intelligent person who holds many axiomatic views which I disagree with but trying to find common ground.
Scott Galloway is on point. Reaganomics has transferred the wealth upwards, especially here in the United States. 45 years of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and a war on labor has brought us here. When it comes to wealth inequality, we are now closer to a developing country than our European cohorts. The wealth has clustered at the top as the middle class has been squeezed into scraping by paycheck to paycheck.
How about lets pull on the thread that connects to TRILLIONS of dollars unaccounted for in DOD spending as well as EDUCATION spending. THis "wealth transfer from the young to the OLD" isn't so Old men can lounge in the hot tub at the country club. THe $$$ has been stolen, Hi-jacked and it isn't BETTERING HUMANITY for anyone, especially the Boomers.
Great interview/conversation, guys. Scott, you convinced me to buy some of your books. Even though I disagree with 25% of your talking points. The reason for me to buy your books is simple. You're open-minded and a critical thinker.
As always I appreciate hearing different takes and avoiding an echo chamber, and your ability to talk with wide varieties of people is admirable Chris. But I just cannot say I enjoyed most of the guests talking points, I think he overall had some good foundations and I could see where he was coming from, but ultimately a lot of it came off as condescending and pretentious. Good on you for inviting him on though, and I look forward to hearing from anyone who is willing to talk about these hard topics.
Im 26M single and sexless for longer periods of time. I could be in a relationship rn if I wanted and I rejected handful of women. I lost a lot of money, time and heart in my last relationship. I was broke, I lost friends, a house, my country, my education and myself because I was attached to a teenage pussy without any guidance. Im not the kind of men the guess describes. I dont smoke and party crazy every night with friends. I dont play videogames and drink. I work, I exercise, I read, I cook, I meditate, I reflect on gratitude. I still dress a shirt on a dinner night, I smell good and treat my teeth and hair well. I look better than most people, coupled or not. I got a 6 pack last summer. I worked shitty jobs and now I got the opportunity to go back to school so I could invest in a profiting career. I would not give my heart to the first women who appears. The slightest hint of disrespect over my person and you out of the equation. I approached women who took me for granted and now they regret it. Its not only men who are single and sexless. Women are too and at the rhythm things are going. A big depression is coming.
@@masterjb54321 I think what people push back on is the superficial statements "Oh, it's fascism!" No. We can get that any second of the day on mainstream media. If you're going to make forceful statements, you need to back them up and dive deeper into the ideas. That's the whole point of these independent podcasts. Especially for those of us who are exploring truth and rejecting mainstream narratives
I was born in 1995 and it seriously feels like I caught the last helicopter out of Vietnam sometimes. I was lucky enough to have a normal early childhood free from the internet (the last generation of kids to do so), I had an adolescence of limited social media and turned 18 in 2013, right at the time social media went mobile. I had my struggles with anxiety and insecurity because of it, but was old enough to handle it. I met my now-husband in uni in 2014. That was also the year tinder launched and the dating landscape started to become more shallow and toxic. I’m 27 now and am starting to experience people my age wishing they were younger. Personally, I really don’t. I’ll forever be grateful for the time in history in which I was born. Being a teenager/young adult nowadays seems very tough. I really wish everyone that’s coming of age in the 2020s the best of luck. Growing up is never easy, and the current generation is facing unique challenges that we have never seen in human history.
You're right on the money with your analogy. Humans are in a race against time, as more and more people are chasing fewer and fewer resources. No country in recorded history gobbles up resources faster than the US. If the American government doesn't find ways to better manage it's runaway spending the "end game" will be upon us much sooner than anyone anticipated. The upshot, of course, will be that America's obesity epidemic will disappear practically overnight, as Americans will be doing lots of manual labor all the time.
40:00 This instantly discredits him in my eyes. Misinformation should be punishable by law? Well fuck my First Amendment protections, when the government decides that my information is misinformation through BS 'fact-checking', I guess I'll just get fucked!
I told my Grandparents I work 70 hours a week and they told me that was crazy. Their opinion says everything. They have 2 houses 4 cars and a fat retirement fund with social security and a pension. I drive a 2005 ford focus and live in a apartment. Its not effort.
It’s four decades of global wage arbitrage by the big corporations. They don’t have to pay you and do not need the revenue provided by the pittance of wages you spend as a consumer.
A study was done in 2018 that shows that since 1980, the average worker in America had lost $1,000 a month, strictly in wages, to the wealth transfer toward the 1%. That's the AVERAGE over 40 years. Which means it was probably only $100 a month per worker in the early 80's. And closer to $3000 per month now. *Imagine if the average US worker today was making an ADDITIONAL 3k per month right now.* Soon there will be trillionaires. Game over.
It's called inflation, and it's been stealing from us heavily since the 70's. Without sound monetary policy, nothing else matters. None of the problem we're discussing will be able to be solved as long as the Fed is allowed to counterfeit infinite money. It's literally this simple, but nobody talks about it.
@@xraceboyex uhhhh... that's not inflation. It's the largest transfer of wealth in human history. Worker wages have completely stagnated for 40 years while CEO and exec salaries have exploded.
@@unknownsword9042 The RAND corporation conducted the study which was published in 2018. 50 trillion dollars has been transfered from the bottom 50% to the top 1% since 1975. Search "RAND Trends in Income From 1975 to 2018". Can't post a link obviously.
Up until the point that Scott said "all these problems are solveable" , I was hopeless in life, lol. This episode was GREAT. And everyone should know these facts.
I have a very respectful FU for this simpleton. I was born in 1960 so I’m considered a “boomer” even though the birth had fallen off a cliff several years earlier. My amassed wealth amounts to a car that gets me to my job that keeps me alive paycheck to paycheck. All I want to know is, if this guy is right, where’s my share?
22:16 _“Men aren’t good at executive functions. They're kind of two years behind. An 18 year old boy applying to college is sort of on par with a 16 or a 17 year old girl.”_ -Not entirely accurate. Galloway might be confusing maturity and intelligence. IQ Comparisons show male and female mean IQs are about equal below the age of 15 but males have a higher mean IQ from age 15 on. So the above example is actually the reverse with the 18 year old male likely competing against a female of lower IQ at the same age. 23:39 _“We leveled the playing field on education and what we found is women just absolutely blew by men.”_ -This would mean the 50 years ongoing explicit effort to advantage females at the expense of males, at all levels of society, has had zero affect and that after 200,000 years males are failing simply because, within the last couple decades, as it turns out, females are inherently better in every way based purely on merit. This is a highly dubious claim!
@@DisposableSupervillainHenchman Well, yes, but It’s not only women that are allowed to excel, it’s also girls, and not only do men allow it, boys do also. All of society, including women and girls, not only allow it, but also endorse, support and maintain the advancement of females at the expense of males.
People like Scott those of his generation and mind-set created this problem we have, and need to take the blame for what is going on today. I think he was talking about himself when he said “ men are good at blaming others”.
And if they take the blame how will that fix your life? Life is fu&cked up and unfair for everyone. So the only way to change things is to take 100% responsibility for your own life. You’re sounding like the woman in therapy blaming everything on her mom. At the point you’re an adult and live in a relatively free country and have a relatively stable mental health then the sky should be the limit…
It's possible the world just sucks now compared to how it used to be. Way more people and competition for resources. Excessive greed and corruption from those who came before us, significantly more awareness about the realities around us because of ease of access to information. One downside of social media is seeing what life could be (without the bad stuff), making you feel like your life sucks
@@oneshotprestige interesting point that makes sense to me. When you only focus on what you don't have because you feel entitled to things, how are you not going to feel miserable?
@@Dylan-ko2gj There was a guy who escaped North Korea, and he talks about being happier when he lived there. Life was simple he worked on his farm, but now all the choices make him feel anxious. It was super interesting little clip in a bigger video.
Greed has not increased throughout generations. The evidence for that is skewed because so many more people got so much more stuff. That doesn’t mean they were greedier, just more successful and had better opportunities.
I have a hard time relating to this guy's views. I'm a 62 year-old baby boomer. I have owned 2 homes in my life. I make about 52K a year, I rent a crappy apartment. I am single and don't care too much about wealth. I care about being debt free. I Planning on working till I am 81. I am planning on having all my funeral arrangements paid for ahead of time so my kids don't have to worry. I love that I live 1 mile from work, half mile from the grocery store, and 1 mile from the Jiu Jitsu school I train at. The thing I value most are my accomplishments. If I make it to 81 it can be said of me I devoted 50 years of my adult life to serving my country. Between being in the military and working as a civil. I value my children greatly, and for me I feel like my most valuable personal accomplishment is my Jiu-Jitsu training of experience the past 27 years. It has been a wonderfully humbling experience. I value that I'm a 62 year old purple belt. My life feels fairly. My professor at Alliance jiu-jitsu assured me that I'll be a black belt. My response to that statement is if I don't die first. They said Chuck no, you will because you never give up. Thank you for the work that you do hear an inspiring young man! I hate Tik-Tok! My youngest son is on it all the time. He is 25, I'm worried he cleans the value of his life from how other people view him.
Excellent interview!!! Several thoughts 1. People need to do what they are best at rather than following their passion, 2. Work very hard at your career and get into your best physical health possible especially when you are young. To achieve this high level of growth you need to stay away from drugs/alcohol. 3. Finding a high value/quality mate is one of the most important goals a person should have, since failure to find the best mate for you will have very negative consequences. Of course the cost of divorce high, but a bad mate will make difficult times worse and good times less enjoyable. 4. Make the social deposits of staying in contact with people, attending funerals, offering a kind word to someone in need, which are easy to do but will yield you very valuable benefits if life. 5. Meet as many people as you can to improve your luck of meeting the best people possible and getting yourself into high value situations. Create as many opportunities for yourself as possible. Force yourself to be as social as possible. 6. Be able to handle rejection. A big key of success is being able to recover after a failure/setback.
I concur heavily on number 1. I am very passionate about fishing. That said, I don't see myself being able to support my family by being a professional fishman. That is why I chose engineering. The problem is that those who chose their passion expect the rest of us to bail them out.
So well written. Yes we need all these. We got to push hard. We are being brainwashed to take things slow. Yes breaks are important, scheduling of activities in the right manner is important to avoid burn outs. But keep pushing. Unleashing potential to the fullest is important. And crap social media nonsense forcing people to stay indoors. Things need to change. We are being reprogrammed a lot, a lot of nonsense.
He can somehow simultaneously hold the position that young men are disaffected and have the scales stacked against them, especially in single parent households AND that someone like Maloni in Italy is fascist light because she supports the family and calls out the left's war on traditional values is very telling
Leftists have been attacking the family for 40 years. They’ve twisted everything into ugliness. Now they’re getting buyers remorse and demanding we give them the power to twist things up and wreck even more.
I read it as the scapegoating of minorities was his key concern about Maloni. You will see that in Europe where it's become more permissible to say slurs and negative things about Zingari, Roma, Turks, Africans etc
"I'm going to be rich" That explains his dedication to the Establishment Consensus. Also, his patience for the Vax and Climate grifts. It appears he hasn't noticed that CNN has gone bankrupt from telling Establishment Consensus lies, and Disney isn't far behind...
The conversation about modern day young men was depressing just to listen to, simply because it’s true. I don’t feel like this has done me any good to listen to what I already know… I’m a young man with not a lot going for me, even though I’m tall, fit, and decent looking. I have been both screwed over, and have failed in many different ways and avenues, including the military. In my experience, life has simply not been very enjoyable. And I simply do not trust being in a relationship anymore. Snakes in the grass, unless you can find that one in a freaking million who doesn’t just want to use you for resources and situational security. The future has never seemed very bright, or exciting. Just seems like forced indentured servitude. Carving one’s own path seems to be the only way to individual happiness, and even then, it’s a bitch!
Life may be harder for the newer generations than the couple before it but if you live in the US you are living a better life than 99.9% of the rest of humanity up until about 100 years ago and currently better than most of the rest of the world. For example there are 2 billion people on the planet right now that don't even have access to clean drinking water. Almost a billion people are starving It's honestly not that bad if you adjust your perspective a little. That's not to say it isn't hard but it could be much, much more worse

The best thing about knowing Scott Galloway is intelligent is knowing that when he says dumb af stuff, you really understand how even smart people can be brainwashed.
I've found mid IQ people are less likely to be arrogant and therefore wrong. Essentially bell curve dynamics, dumbest and smartest end up being wrong most
03:00 thats straight up obfuscating the facts. Its not "the babyboomers" its upper middle class/ upper class babyboomers which will (most likely) pass down their wealth down through heritage. Its a class conflict not a generational conflict.
A lot of our issues come from the actions resulting from the theories of someone in his position. The best thing for the world people like he can do is say I really do not know much about the world I theorize and philosophize about and take me with a grain of salt.
If this guy is an educator at NYU, which is one of the most expensive universities in the United States, he should take a pay cut of maybe 50% which would still leave him in the top 10% of earners so that "the children" could afford to attend NYU without going into massive student debt.
Most elite liberals pretend that they aren't "upper class" or truly privileged, as if to conveniently deflect all the blame to the billionaire class, instead of the broad class of 2nd tier elites who actually manage society.
It's my opinion that you get what you pay for. If you cut this guy's salary in half, he's smart enough to quit and take a higher salary somewhere else doing the same job....except now it's the private sector and the PATIENT pays more, not the school. It seems that we've never paid teachers for the value they give to society. If you pay them all less, it will draw less talent, and less talent will hurt us, not how, but 20 years later, when the students are old enough to contribute (or not). It's just my opinion. I know in Singapore, public teachers are paid more than DOCTORS and. the only way to GET that job is to graduate in the top 5% of your university class. (Public sector doctors only need top 10%). SO....if you're a doctor in singapore, it's because you werent SMART enough to be a teacher. They've rewarded the shapers of the future with money, status, and comfort, so their future generations are taught competitively by the best and brightest their society has to offer. Sadly, it's a smaller country with less resources, so that solution is likely not possible here. However, it seems to me that their model is a step in the right direction.
They have no way to walk back. They have staked their progress on the dominance of strong, independent, female. Which is a tragedy when you see the end result time and again.

19:42 Now I'm 37 and I have to say... sending me at 18 to college/law school was such a stupid idea. I battled through it on pure genius. No impulse control, no discipline whatsoever, just one dude gambling on the fact that his pure brainpower will 'somehow' get him through it and I did it, barely. When I was 32 I did a second master. This time with maturity, with impulse control, dedication and discipline. It was such a breeze. Took on a subject, studied it efficiently, grasped it completly, wrote the essay/took the exam went to the next without a problem. Such a different experience then my first studies. If it wasn't so mindboggling expensive in the US I would recommend it to everybody. There should be viable pathes for men to do something else outside of the military till they are mature enough to go to academia without getting lableled as absolute failures.

I'm interested to hear from others in the comments to see if anyone else is getting really tired of people having a conversation about the problems of men and boys in the way demonstrated here. The statement "lonely men are dangerous" is a pretty interesting way to frame a problem whose negative consequences weigh almost exclusively upon the "lonely men" in question, as if to say that their suffering wouldn't be an issue, or at least not an issue worthy of discussing, if the only resulting fate of "lonely men" was to kill themselves. If we want men not to be useless, maybe we should start by giving boys a reason to strive to become the best kind of man they can be, not for the sake of "[insert political demographic here]", but for the sake of their ability to live a life worth living. This problem is existential, it's a problem born of hopelessness and purposelessness and an ailing suspicion that perhaps it's better not to exist than to continue to try and fail to live meaningfully... so why the hell do the few people who consider this a problem worth addressing always proceed to so with the language of an economist, or a politician, or a social justice activist? How the hell is this a problem that can be solved from the top-down anyway? Maybe the reason boys are failing in school (both in absolute terms, and relative to girls) is because boys have not been shown any reason as to why they should succeed. Perhaps the disparity between the rate of maturation between girls and boys isn't so simple as it seems, perhaps the reason for the slower maturation of boys is itself a consequence of the fact that boys are given no impetus to mature in a way that girls simply are by virtue of their biology (i.e. bleeding from one's genitals is pretty good reason to mature). Boys don't have an executive function problem, they have a purpose problem... what exactly is the point of executive functioning when one has never had a reason to function executively? This is, of course, an anecdote, but the point I think is self-evident throughout history, Alexander the Great was 20 when he changed the world forever and I'm fairly confident his executive function wasn't under developed when he did. On a different note, if by "uneducated" he means unaccredited then he has entirely misunderstood the reality of the problem. I don't feel I'm "uneducated" because I lack a graduate degree in political science or some other equally frivolous non-sense that doesn't translate to economic value, I'm perfectly capable of being educated without needing to take out a loan for money I'd very much prefer to invest on actually useful things. Maybe these are words of insecurity from a man who had the audacity to read books and work for myself after high school instead of doing the "educated" thing by submitting myself to the industry of so-called "higher" learning. Either I'm being a stupid baby, or this guy is a little out of touch about people who aren't like himself and his elitist friends. 28:33 - How is it not happening? If I understand correctly, London has a knife gang problem. It's certainly happening all over Europe, and it sure as hell is happening in cities across the united states, try telling someone from Chicago that "roving gangs of young, disaffected, young guys pushing over granny and causing havoc" isn't an issue. Contrary to popular belief, gang violence isn't a racial thing, and it isn't a problem of poverty: it is a problem of purposelessness, an existential problem that is almost exclusive to the male sex because women possess purpose and value implicitly by virtue of the fact that they are the source of all human life regardless of externalities like society.
Yeah, you are spot on with the "lonely men are dangerous" thing. I think one of the main reasons why boys are failing in school is because in 2022 (and well, since decades earlier) school is pretty much useless outside of socialization. School actively holds you down, wastes your time and miseducates you. I think it's evident to a lot of kids today. Boys have the balls to give school the middle finger, and are less servile than women.
Ain't that the truth. I've never seen a new starter home go up in my lifetime, I'm 60. All McMansions. I settled for a townhouse in my late 30s but really wish I didn't have too.
I remember being young and always saying that "Grit is the average and below man's method of success. The truly great make calculated decisions and are in touch with the calculus of risk. Nothing is ever guaranteed but you can move forward knowing you've tilted everything in your favor." Now that I'm 30 I realize I was a moron. That's true but who does that information serve? I just humiliated myself by proving I wasn't good enough for that knowledge to apply to, I disheartened the average men and women that I kept repeating that statement to and the superior people that heard that already knew about it and probably just thought I was an idiot for saying something that though factually true, is better off being left unsaid.
Gotta disagree with moving to the city. Why cut ties with family and old friends to start over someplace else that's more expensive with less people who will care about and help you? Just to feel like your competing with bigger fish? I moved to a city at 20 and it might have been the worst decision in my life.
I completely agree ... quality of life is worse in a city and so is average life expectancy. Not to mention loneliness and raising children there. Terrible advice.
You would have to pay me A LOT to live in a city. Claustrophobic with no privacy, driving/parking is a nightmare, people are much more curt & dismissive, terrible air quality with no green, higher cost for a lower standard of living. F*** That.
The cost of education is totally out of control which negatively affects the young. Also housing costs are also out of control due to excessive regulation/ nimby policy put in place by the boomers.
The speaker has benefited from this tremendously. The college faculty is 99% liberal and votes for Democrats. They give money to the DNC exclusively. I bet he votes straight DNC.
@@hosmerhomeboy Are you implying that education shouldn't be for everyone? Because that's a much worse solution than the problem we already have in hand
The housing crisis will work itself out over time as our population shrinks. It will bring a lot of negative consequences but at least housing demand will drop and we'll end up with a glut of housing. It will take several decades though. The education system needs to be completely blown up and rebuilt from scratch - school choice would be the single best thing we could do in this area, with many more tech and vocational tracks. And no more governmental backstopping of loans - make universities assume the moral hazard for crappy low-pay degree programs and watch them disappear.
@@WhoBlah21 Higher education (or "indocrination," more accurately) is not for everyone. Going to work or into a trade school - or getting a non-labour two-year degree - are much more viable options for many people.
@@Khalikhalzit I agree that higher education should be the only viable paths, I wish more schools gave their students alternative paths if they cannot or don’t want to attend college. However, there’s a serious problem on the lack of men attending and finishing college. We need a gender balance in certain fields especially related to the social sciences because from the last decade or so, research related to gender, sociology and psychology has been extremely women-centric.
Imagine pedestalizing Weimar Germany. This guy should read "neither right nor left" and reevaluate his understanding of what fascism actually is, his misunderstanding is a great way to ensure we get actual fascism again.
I don't actually think I like scott all that much....a pretty unapologetic, liberal elitest. But I agree with a ton of his perspective. And bigger than that this is what my 18 y.o. son needs to hear. So thank you, Scott, and thank you, Chris, for a fabulous interview.
Im making close to 120k at 35 working a full time and a side job. My wife also works. Together we will be taking home close to 200k. With the increased cost of food, insurance, medical costs for 2 kids, car payments/ maintenance, frequent unplanned household maintenance, childcare, and student loan payments, we barely make over break even every month. Its absolutely criminal how exepensive everything has become that 200 freaking k a year barely gets us by. I make enough to invest a little bit for retirement but the stock market is a crack riddled casino completely juiced with debt and liquidity that swings wildly both directions it feels completely unstable and not something i want to keep any money in. I feel like boomers got to enjoy much more stability in markets, even with 2 pretty significant crashes that ended up both great buying opportunities. Now the government focuses on making sure we dont get any more stock market downturns so all the stocks we get to buy are wildly over priced.
I think the collapse of 2008 changed a lot. What I saw was people who had done everything they were told to do have the rug pulled right out from underneath them and through no fault of their own, lose everything. That changes your thinking.
Same happened with the Great Depression. I see a lot of lack-of-empathy in comments here, and black swan events like those tend to be the only thing that re-orients that type of person. It's different when it happens to them.
I got fired along with 200 others in 08. I was 53. For the first time in my life I was able to take 99 weeks off. The government gave me $500.00 per week. I had a blast. After that I went back to work for 1 more year then retired. I always had a job. I've worked since I was 13. We own are home. Every year since it was introduced I always maxed out my 401-k. The government limit. Not the company match. I started SS at 62. This January my check will be $2343.00 per month. Most people at 62 don't receive half that number. Nothing is free in life. Nobody ever gave me a dime. Im proud of that. Sometimes I worked 2 jobs to have the things I wanted. And retire early. You can too. Work is work. Max out your 401-k. That's important. There are lots of girls out there. Pick one that's well educated and works hard. Your whole life will be gravy. You want to be broke your whole life? Marry someone that's broke and not educated. Leave those girls to the suckers. Think very carefully about the cost of having kids. I got fixed at 27. I found a girl that wanted more out of life than having kids and be broke. Most of are friends over the years got divorced and the man was broke for years paying support. I was never going to be that guy. People make choices. Every 4 weeks I get that SS check and spend every penny of it. I call it play money. I earned it. Good luck.
@@peternorthrup6274 Good for u, but I'm not sure it's as teachable as you think. Some might be critical of being a 99-er at $500 yet saying nobody ever gave you a dime. Huh? People in third world countries (or the America libertarians want to take us back to) have no such safety net. The other problem is that's what's good for the goose with the sterilization doesn't work for the gander. I wouldn't deny anyone that individual choice, but if even more people made it we'd be looking at even more of an immigration-or-depopulation choice than we're facing now. Sometimes choices that bring maximized benefit to an individual can't be upheld as a role model for society because at that level they don't work. And ultimately if we fail on the societal level, it'll be far harder for individuals to succeed.
Spot on with his condemnation of TikTok and his summarization of the loneliness epidemic among young men. However, his logic falls apart shortly thereafter. He falls right back into the Democrat playbook of demonizing men as dangerous right wing misogynistic bigots. That mindset will continue to push men towards the ideas he seems to be against.
Yeah, victim blaming as always. Most of those men are harmless to society and they have been rejected. What is the need to see them as a problem when clearly there are greater issues around? Is not as if they cared about men anyway. They just want to blame those men for their own policy trash.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Call people dangerous and back them into a corner. So when they have no options but to lash out you can say I told ya so. It's evil
Man seems a little removed from the trials and tribulations on the ground here. Good coach for those already on second and third base. Godspeed, Professor Galloway.
Absolutely on point. My generation has accumulated wealth and excluded our kids. Im a builder, and housing is expensive due to easy money policies and exclusionary zoning thats not only designed to exclude others, but drive up cost due to the weaponozation of local and state governments which adds ridiculous cost and limits supply. Until recently, housing cost increases were not due to materials and labor but administrative costs and linitation on supply
I appreciate this man's message. One thing I take issue with however, is the idea that - 'because a lot of these issues have been based on political decisions means it's solvable.' Some older millenials, born at the very worst time have lost years to these kinds of policy decisions, and they will never fully recover. Put simply, it's too late to make it better now
You mean you disagree with him. Not too many things in here you could say are objectively "wrong". That's why politics are so immaterial, you just believe something different, that doesn't make it wrong.
I don't think overabundance is inherently problematic, I think it's what we do with it. And we're doing really dumb things with it out of self interest rather than using it to help each other.
In post WWII America, you had to be an absolute idiot to not retire a millionaire. Ever ask a boomer career advice? “Eye contact & a firm handshake” that’s literally all it took to become the managing director of some company from 1955-1995 The problem is boomers parents saw the horrors of the depression & WWII and spoiled boomers rotten. Boomers grew up thinking the unprecedented bubble they were living in was just how the world worked. It’s not entirely their fault. The money just rolled in, all you had to do was show up on time & not suck & you could retire with a second home. The problem is they thought that’s how the world works but it was a giant bubble. It popped, they didn’t know how to stop spending, so they ran up crippling debt, & passed it on to gen x & the millennials. The economy today is similar to the 1880s - lots of industry booming but it’s all monopolistic & the average person works hard for very little. The problem today is people are starting with a mountain of debt. So 2 things happen, millennials just say fck it and keep racking up the debt & facade, or they detach entirely & embrace a life of adult childhood smoking weed & watching porn.
How can this guy be so intelligent and have so much good information and also be so incredibly partisan from the left? I’ve leaned democrat all my life but have parted from the party the last few years as I’m much more progressive than the party wants to be.. but, how can such an intelligent dude be so incredibly partisan? I mean, it’s his right to be partisan, to be sure, but I’m just wondering how one can be so smart in some areas, and then not see the fallacy in some of his other beliefs. Regardless of his partisanship beliefs, awesome episode, and I appreciate all his info regardless. As I’m a slightly older millennial (born in ‘86), all of this resonated with me greatly, and I agree the boomer generation kinda fucked my generation, hard. And now, because my generation saw how that affected us, we are not doing the same thing the boomers did by taking advantage of the younger generation, because I’ve seen the effects of that, my generation is treating my kids’ generation much different, so that we millennials don’t fuck over our kids’ generation.. so yet again we millennials get fucked, the older generation took advantage of us, and we’re helping our kids’ generation with a hand-up instead of helping ourselves get to a level playing field. Millennials- the most fucked generation in history, lol.
The problem with women outcompeting men is one of a SECURITY, RISK, AND SAFTEY level being 'The Fourth Turning'! Women CAN'T PHYSICALLY COMPETE with that. Therefore, the fourth turning WILL ALWAYS RESET THE SYSTEM. Good men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create good men. Are women going to step up and volunteer their lives to save others and create good times? NO! They will be wiped out even if they attempted it. Why else would a LOSER male who can't compete with his own cohert of other males noadays want to IDENTIFIY as a female? To get on female teams KNOWING he can outcompete them with little to no effort!
My son’s test scores put him in the top 0.3% of global students. He applied to 11 universities and got into one. His guidance counselor said “you don’t check any boxes, getting into college is going to be hard.” We manage what we measure. We have stopped looking at grades and started focusing on class, gender, and race. That’s a huge mistake. We need to reward performance, and we don’t. Arbitrary social engineering is pushing the world into a bad place.
In the UK? It's well documented that in the UK non white students and non British students score higher in exams than white British students and gypsies. So the highest achievers academically from keys stage 1 to A levels is the non white people, specifically first generation imagrants. However at the most prestigious universities, white students are still accepted more than the children who actually have the best exam results. There was a few documentaries about this few years ago. It's also why Oxford and Cambridge in recent years have been outspoken about it. So, I guess you don't live in the UK.
I thought it was obvious that you work hand at career and health (and income), and find a good mate due to this hard work, and the WHOLE family of support comes of course after. Friends as well. What did I miss?
If a game is rigged for you to lose it's simple don't participate in the game. If rent is ridiculously priced just make a sacrifice for a period of time and live in a van or vehicle of some sort and save a bucketload of money until you can afford to buy or just live like that forever surely, it's not that hard to understand. if you choose to play the game that's your choice.
I will support school choice and candidates who support vocational education. I am disabled now, but I homeschooled 5 underprivileged children as well as my own children. I tried to give then useful skills as long as they were with me.
18:51 exactly why I stopped playing video games at 19. At 33 I'm 9 years from retirement, without counting my side businesses, making 70k a year, new car, gated community, in excellent shape (11% body fat), still setting new exercise records, achieved 1/2 major life goals, etc. After I found my life's purpose at 17 I couldn't really focus on video games or TV much. Video game companies overcharge and don't even give you exactly what you want in the game, so what's the point? What do you see the world lacking? Become that and give it to the world. That's your purpose. Do that and your calling will call you. Edit: Also realized this and I became extremely grateful for my family. 48:30
When I first heard about a Tiktok, I had this powerful gut feeling that it was a weapon. I can not think of a more efficient tool for highjacking the attention span of the youth and getting them absolutely addicted to devices. That was BEFORE I even knew it was Chinese.
Bless his heart. He tried. I appreciate his attempt at conversation on these issues, but it merely serves as a good example of why you should try to demolish your own arguments from another perspective before making them public. There was so much inaccuracy and so many poorly drawn conclusions, which would not have been spoken if Scott had taken this approach. Another point to take away from this is to only speak as an authority on things you actually know about. Scott embarrassed himself with this one.

He's awesome. I read his book, "The Four", when I was in junior high (I was 16 at the time) and thought that his take on how big tech was preying on our baser instincts was spot on. It helped sparked my interest in evolutionary psychology and I've been hooked ever since.
Awful interview, Chris, awful. Expected you to challenge this anti white male, anti flyover America bigot. You really dropped the ball. Think you're enjoying your life too much.
it's so interesting how brillantly aware and 100% out of touch this old man is. Dude went to work on Tuesday morning and didn't leave until Thursday morning to "send a message". lol...maybe back in the old days a boss would care or recognize the effort...now, that means nothing, as no matter what, you will be replaced and outsourced. Hard work means nothing anymore. Masculinity means nothing anymore. Culture as we know it is doomed. Best to just wear eye makeup, lipstick, and announce your pronouns and get the raise that way because at least then, they are too scared to fuck with you. ....hell, this cuck moved to England for some reason. boi must be insane.

"Humans don’t mind hardship, in fact they thrive on it; what they mind is not feeling necessary. Modern society has perfected the art of making people not feel necessary."
- Sebastian Junger, Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging
It's not just that, I think it's also hope. You're willing to work your ass off if you have confidence that it will pay off in the future, that is you have hope for the future. But if you know you're going to work your butt off and you don't believe it's going to get you anything, why do it, why work so hard?
Yet in the end you have no idea what that means. Because it just sounds good. LMAO.. this is what happens when you can't even creatively express yourself. But rather "Copy and Paste". Sad. Truly Sad.
@@aaronbono4688 I think that is what BillBear means by Junger's quote.
i DO mind hardship
This quote describes my feeling in so many ways. And describes the rage that bubbles up when I receive a vague rejection letter.
Plenty of young people bust their ass work hard are complete hustlers. Still, housing is out of control, taxation out of control, cost for education out of fucking control. I’m 31 and an engineer same as my grandfather, difference is at his time you could pay for a college degree with a part time summer job and a house was only ~2x the starting engineer salary. Today you need loans if you don’t have scholarship, and houses are 4-5x starting engineers salary, in places like Seattle it's more like 6-7x starting salary. Every classmate I had in our program who tried working and going to school either failed out or had horrible grades and a rough start to their career.
These aren’t problems we created, we weren’t alive yet. I worked as hard as my grandparents and harder than my parents and I will not live as good a life. I will likely be supporting my parents as they retire.
This. They are blaming men for stuff that is literally out of their control. Cannot get a house? wow a loser. Cannot get a mate in the age of tinder? Wow a loser. Cannot get good wages in the age of inflation? wow a loser.
taxation is literally lower than it used to be at ur grandfathers age....... but okay lol
@@fe3cf I just checked tax brackets in 1960 and i'd be paying less than I do today. idk where youre getting that
@@Grombrindal91 sorry what i meant is taxes are lower for the richest people. and actually, for the poorest. its higher now for the middle class. but not by enough that i would call it out of control lol. its possibly increased 5%. We still pay quite less in taxes compared to other states that do better than us.
Years ago education was subsidized by the government. Republicans have over the years whittled away these subsidies so that there is very little if any left.
It's not just Millennials. I am solidly Gen X and I turn 50 in 2024. At that point in my father's life (30 years ago this year) he was at the peak of his earning, had just bought a fresh piece of land, and was planning to build a nice home in which to live the rest of his life. Which he did, and he has, and he's still there. And even though he had to take early retirement a few years later, due to markets undercutting and destroying the industry he was in, he still managed to financially be much, much further ahead (at 50) than I will be. Most Gen X won't be able to retire until they turn 70 (if at all) and a lot of us will be trying to cobble together retirement income from a number of sources, vs. the pensions which still existed for some Boomers. Almost nobody (save us military folk) will have anything like a pension. And the 401K has already proven itself to be insufficient (combined with Social Security) as a lasting source of income for people living past the age of 80.
@Brad Torgersen, I agree 100%. It drives me crazy that they will only talk about boomers and millennial's-never mentioning the entire generation in between. I'm nearly 50 and my take home pay is less than 40K, I have to pay out of my gross salary; taxes, retirement, and healthcare, which leaves me living (or existing) paycheck to paycheck. My only option is getting a second job just to keep my head above water. My parents at 50-3 kids on 1 income, a pension, affordable mortgage, 2 cars, vacations (whatever that means) and savings for the future. Not to mention they could get a job with or without a higher ed diploma. If you are 55 or under, chances are your future looks pretty bleak.
Gen X- we are still the forgotten generation, lol. First generation to be financially worse off than their parents, but let's talk about the millennials! Sigh.
Gen X was the start of the downhill spiral. The Baby Boomers had it best. Every generation since then has gotten progressively worse. When I was young, we still had a poor part of town where all the poor people lived in housing. Now that's gone and gentrified and the poor people get to live in tent cities. I feel sorry for the millennials and zoomers. I know their pain and their pain still to come.
I firmly believe that when the history of this time will be told in the future, this time frame of the textbook will be called the "downfall of the American Empire"
When your parents die you will inherit some of their wealth. That is likely to happen within the next ten years.
Being Gen X, a geographer and economist there are a lot of issues that are never addressed about the boomers. At the root of the problem is the extreme racism that exists in the US, and it worked out great for boomers, they never had to pay what economists call the "real cost" for anything, they could just kick it down the line and leave it as debt for everyone else. This has some history in the US, people living off of other people's labor certainly wasn't invented by boomers, but they made it such an extreme norm with bs like "the FIRE economy" when they started dropping race, just treat Gen X as economic minorities too. Global warming is a perfect example of real cost, the science is 100 yrs old, petrochemical companies knew about it in the 50s, realized how devastating it would be in the 70s so they just hid it and started lobbying against alternative energy measurements, Carter put solar panels on the white house and boomers went "screee! they aren't my aesthetic!" and voted Reagan. In gratitude Reagan destroyed economic security for Gen X, flatlined minimum wage which was redefined as "entry level" too, destroyed unions, on and on.
I love your guest and I admire that you don't interrupt and you let them talk, thank you!
He sounds like a winey socialist.
What a great nuanced conversation. I met my husband at a bar in college on campus in my early 20’s. I blew him off because he physically wasn’t my type. He heard I was sick and came to my house to ask if there was anything he could do to help while I was ill. I knew he was the one at that very moment. We have been married 25 years and have 3 children. My son is now married and he’s SUCH a good father because my husband showed him what a good father looked like.

I'm a college educated man, but it just bothers me how this guy views uneducated men. As if they are stupid, angry, and conservative. He has no ability to conceive that men can have wisdom and a sound morality without going to a university.
Hell, I'm a PhD student. This guy is the epitome of the reason we're hurtling towards a bad future. It's because people like him were behind the wheel and continue to be behind the wheel and refuse to let go of their own failed "scientific" experiments. The future will be more conservative and harsh because of people like him.
@@Winterascent Yup. I'm CS so I'm a hard science but the mentality is there as well :/
Same here. It pains me how "uneducated" has morphed into a pejorative, like it's some kind of indictment of one's character.
Most people who claim to be "highly educated," are moderately or marginally educated.
@@hunterbidensaidslesion1356 Most people who are "educated" are just LUCKY. Lucky to be born in a decent stable family, with money to send them to college, etc. But the gatekeeping of undesirables from education is what makes them mistakenly think they're somehow better. In reality, in a fair setting, they are painfully average.
This interview was half correct and half absolute garbage.
I am a retired high school teacher. I worked very hard to not only establish relationship with all my students but especially my boys who struggled behaving in class let alone doing work (Spanish class required for college in my district) and primarily distracting other students. I knew I had failed this particular make freshman who daily entertained himself by distracting others and exhausting me. Parent only cared about what he liked doing. When I asked for a male AP to discuss motivation and hopefully establish relationship with this student the AP ASKED ME “WHY DO YOU CARE?” In 30 seconds he asked me “WHY DO YOU CARE”? THREE TIMES. This for me was the last straw - not the only reason but I took early retirement. I still worry for that young man and many others.
Sounds like you made an honest attempt. Faced with such an indifferent and hostile system, I can’t fault you for bowing out.
A telling anecdote. I wouldn't ever mouth off to a teach like that. But I'm sure you or the AP said, "I'm your teacher, that's why." it seems that many young people and their parents reject learning altogether, especially if they are not immediately rewarded financially. Many young people, especially males, cannot defer gratification and think long term. Also, just the act of sitting quietly, reading, conjugating Spanish verbs, masculine and feminine nouns, etc, gives one a generic exercise in organizing and processing information. People who reject a good education given freely are philistines and vulgarians who don't know which end is up. That sort of think is all too common.
I appreciate your comment as a person concerned for education and our youth but I want to assure you "I'm your teacher that's why" - is NOT a tool in my box. I would have said it's not respectful to the learning environment - tied it in to the classroom rules; which was I respect your decision NOT to learn; but I won't allow your behavior to interfere with others' learning - which I did say to him multiple times. What bothered me most was the AP 's lack of vision in working with especially male students who struggle in the classroom learning- situation - not the kid. I was hoping that as a male he could help my student in a way that I wasn't able to. Furthermore I didn't use the traditional memorization techniques - we read stories and learned from contextualization in stories through repetition - I worked hard to make it "FUN" with lots of paired partner activities - kids had the freedom to work together in the hall, on the floor, moving desks around etc and that freedom was he couldn't handle. You can tell it still bothers me! Thanks for commenting.
Thanks - just got too old! 🤣 but there are many days I still wish I was in the classroom! @@jackr2287
@@profeh3346 As a person who had 9 years of college, and three degrees in STEM disciplines, I really loathed day after day of rote memorization. However, when you want to learn an esoteric subject - especially something abstruse - a certain amount of memorization is absolutely necessary to get down the rudiments. We did a lot of memorization of Spanish basics - but our wonderful teacher broke it up a little with songs and activities. But make no mistake about it, Senorita Irene was in charge. Boy, am I glad. I got proficiency credit for free at Big Ten University, and graduated to a couple of beautiful Mexican girlfriends in Arizona. I would never have garnered that in the hall with some pimple-faced coeval. Deferring to authority is an opportunity lost on most these days. Also, the idea of sitting quietly, reading, and organizing information on a page, a screen, and in your head is paramount. We must do it whenever we can. We must ponder. Alas, most of life is not "fun," nor should it be. Otherwise, industrial accidents and willful negligence occur.
My Dad's cousin remarked that when she was young people would go out and have drinks and socialize all the time. She expressed how sad she felt that her kids and nephews didn't really do that anymore. It's too expensive, maybe they go for 1 single beer ever 3 weeks but apart from that they just go to work and that's it.
My existence involves work. Then home… there is deep resentment and rage towards what the generations before me have done. And I believe is was out of pure neglect and arrogance. Entitlement. This idea they are unique and special and have something us younger people don’t possess
Don't forget it is dangerous for men to go out and be rambunctious, a woman's words hold way too much power in the court of public opinion. Younger men are a lot more cautious about potentially making a woman uncomfortable because a simple false accusation will ruin his life.
@@dusanslavnic4727 Very true. The "me too" movement went too far and left men shell shocked and confused on how to interact with women without potentially being accused of wrong doing. Many men likely took the safest path by minimizing interactions with women or are guarded with women and interact with caution.
@@micclay not gonna argue. Look around you. Or maybe outside your neighborhood. Blue collar middle class families are being crushed and ground into dust
People have definitely changed. Her world was very different growing up compared to the younger generations.
I was born in 1958, bought my first new car at 18 and my first California house at 22 while working as a Deputy Sheriff. Good luck to anyone doing that now. My father co-signed but I made the payments on both. I pity young people born into the declining mess that is 2023 America or who come to adulthood now.
Sir you were really in the good era when men were not shamed for being men and the world was not in turmoil
My parents bought their first house in 1967 with $5000 down. They had a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at $125 per month. An average house in my city goes for $1.2 million. We complain men are not getting married and starting families. How doe they do this at the current state of the job market and housing costs.
@@BunnyWatson-k1wmove away… only option fella
Maybe instead of pitying young people, why don't you help them? Vote for policies that would make their lives better? We can create a better future for young people instead of just saying, "Good luck!"
@@BunnyWatson-k1w they don't. I checked out of society a while back. Got my college degree and now i work and live at home and save my money and invest it into index funds and etfs. I am not going to participate in society. I will never be able to own a home till my ripe old age, which by then I wont be starting a family or having kids. This country has locked me out of being married and having kids because of the awful economic state we are in. Like this above commenter his life basically started at 18. mine wont till way later. I wont be able to own a home till way older. If i was able to own a home on some basic job like deputy sheriff at 22 I likely would have been married and had kids by 24 because I actually had something to provide for a women. But now I don't so have fun. Birth rate dropping soon to be 2 workers to 1 retiree. Have fun retiring when there is no body working anymore.
Quiet quitting is absolutely real. Men around 30 yo that I know are only working enough to pay rent and monthly bills. I quit my old job during the foolishness the past few years and started a small business. I now work half of the hours I used to and make a little more money than I used to. Society is losing hard workers.
Most jobs don’t reward hardwork. Politics and equality have ruined this most jobs don’t want give out merit raises. Unions are less powerful as well.
And I wonder how hard you’ll have to work to make enough to offer your employees the staple benefits and a sufficient wage.
I don’t mean to poke, but the odds are stacked high against us. Even if I started my mowing company tomorrow, I dread the paperwork and forms and taxes.
I wish
I was fire from my old job for being a hard worker even did alot of ot so yea now a day some company dont want hard worker just want yes man pple if they are told to work without pay
Well, they wanted socialism in USA, right? In USSR, what you call quiet quitting wasn't abnormal, it was the norm. So they are getting just what they wanted. This is what socialism looks like, folks. If there is no way of getting forward in life by hard work, people aren't going to do that.

I work with 20-50 year old men in chronic pain. There is a massive difference in mindset between the older and younger men. I find that many of the 20-35 year olds have a lot of their issues stemming from loneliness and lack of status. They retreat into their mind or numb themselves with video games, social media, etc and their unhappiness / inability to improve themselves manifests in pain. Think, pain makes you not want to move and stay away from whatever is threatening your body. Id be curious to see if there’s any correlation between pain symptoms and some of the data suggested here. Just some random thoughts I had during this great interview.
Work with how? I'm almost sixty. The pain management cult left me on the curb a good five years ago. I scream myself awake. Cry myself to sleep. Doctors won't even acknowledge I'm alive. Pain means nothing. It's has made me rather bitter, I'll admit.

In summary: he prescribes rugged individualism for men. Even when it comes to sex and relationships, men should still take all the risks. This is after he acknowledges all the systemic changes and problems that have rigged the landscape. It's great that Scott Galloway is talking about these issues, but this is becoming a trendy issue and he's taking the safe path. He doesn't want to ruffle too many feathers. Those sweet BBC and CNN gigs wouldn't be possible if he offended the certain groups and ideologies.
Another way to look at it: look at what he didn't talk about. Topics such as the family law court system that is rigged in favor of women.
Exactly
I’m female . I don’t want anyone to get “ raked through the coals “ in a marriage. There seems to be only a few options
1- become activists, become lawyers, March in the streets, call yourselves “ mens pro marriage coalition “ 2- call your congress rep . 3 proceed with life , if you meet someone and want to get married , write up a prenup so it’s clear and fair for both 4- marry someone who makes about the same amount of money, so you don’t get crushed vs marry a stay at home mother and then she has to “go for the jugular vein “ to survive if you get divorced 5- remain single and enjoy life. I had an uncle who remained single , on Saturday’s he drove to a nearby town to spend the day with his “lady friend “ 💋
@@Tamar-sz8ox The split thing is fine, the issue being the court favors women. It's just nature, because men go easier on woman, consciously or unconsciously, but are harsher on other men. Meanwhile, the feminist movement encourages a similar mentality in the women that occupy those positions of power. Psychologically, for a man, another man is competition, while a women is a potential asset, at its face value. Broships take more time to develop, the man has to prove himself an asset to another man. Then again, some of the harshest judges towards females are the female judges.

It amazes me how progressive Americans like Scott will talk about how concerned they are regarding Italy’s political direction, without even bothering to acknowledge the sheer scale and magnitude of the US’s record of crimes against humanity, past, present, and likely future.

I'm A Baby Boomer and agree that we had many things better. Most of us grew up with stay at home mothers who made nice meals, were available and taught us many things. Girls took Home Economics and learned the basics of cooking and sewing, while boys learned shop classes which helped them learn more about tools. We had more electives. College was cheap and easy to get into. You could work your way through easily if you lived at home and worked full time all summer or worked a few hours weekly all year.
Rents were lower, too. Between globalization and urban overcrowding from too much immigration, I think the average two parent family is much worse off. Even those who try to live in cheap housing and budget carefully, it's nearly impossible for a mother to stay hone with children unless the father makes an income well above average for their area.
And that is comparing 2 parent homes. What does single motherhood do to kids?
I am a baby boomer who was raised by a divorced woman. Her mother and three sisters were either divorced mothers or have never been married single mothers. I was a latch key child before the term was used. Life wasn't easy, but I persevered, worked hard, and retired at age 55.
Yes, well put Barbara. New York is the worst with trying to afford family life as young parents. Just started my family and its really hard. I would love to have my wife stay at home. I just cant afford it. I make a decent salary also. Health care costs are absurd, property taxes are absurd, housing/ rents are absurd. I try to stay optimistic. But its hard.

(None of them had a bachelor's. And half of them never finished High School.) Shocking and if you ask for "help." Said to us "we did it all on our own," which was a lie like they got spanked so hard that they could not sit down, for a week. Come on!

Facts
Rappers have been calling women “bitches” for a while, talk about dealing drugs and violence, but Tate is the bad guy (charging $49/month) for actually trying to help men. Unbelievable. Why is this energy reserved for Tate and rappers get a free pass?
Because they is Black!
Tate should talk with music in the back ground
We're not allowed to criticise 'rappers'.
@@Stierenkloot yet almost everyone does.
How old are you? Where we’re you during early-hip hop and gangsta rap in 90s? There were numerous of conversations and debate throughout the 90s especially from civil rights leaders about the romanticization and glorification of violence, drugs, and degradation of women in rap music lol
This whole conversation has me terrified for my son.
He immediately went into the military, which was great. It was the only thing he ever wanted to do. He never planned for anything else. He ended up hating it and when he got out, he has just stagnated. He lives with me. He works at a grocery store. He spends the vast majority of his time vaping and playing video games.
I am a single mom. I did everything I could to teach him how to be a good man, but obviously I can only do so much. His dad dipped out when he was 2 so I gave him other male role models as I could... but what do I do without just ripping his balls off by being an overbearing mom. I want him to go to school. I want for him to find fulfillment. I want him to have a life. I want him to want those things, too.
Ship him away. He needs to leave the motherhouse. Find a way to get him to live on his own and not depend on you. Hard but necessary.
@@absolutetruth3290 to be clear, I did push him out of the nest. He moved out when he was 18. He went into the military. He lived in Japan for 4 years. I don't treat him like a child. I don't cook for him or do his laundry. I don't treat him like a baby. I always raised my kids to be self-sufficient out of necessity because I couldn't do it all. The problem is that he doesn't aspire...
His sister moved out when she was 18, too. She went to college, went to graduate school, got a job, has a career, bought a house and is doing well.
So, what's the difference? I have been insisting he enroll in post-secondary to continue on with what he liked to do while in the Navy (and Michigan makes that easy by paying for it). He is "thinking about it" but I feel like he is just losing ground... wasting time. Whenever I push, he shuts down, so that's ineffective.
@@kristinsewell1441 As someone who's been in his position, tell him he's got to move out in 3 months and at the 2 month mark, give him an official notice if he hasn't taken any steps. He's going to keep sinking into further and further self loathing because his life isn't going the way he wants and he'll start to or already blames you for his problems. Right now he's scared to make the change so you have to make it for him. I spent years in that mental state so there's no guarantee his current state will end any time soon. It may seem harsh to kick him out, and he may hate you for a time, but eventually he will appreciate you doing it for him as he gains independence and confidence. You mentioned he works at the grocery store so money wise he should have enough to rent out a room. Maybe he even has friends who are also looking to move out so they can room together.
He can go to college practically for free using VA vocational benefits. Set a move out date and help him find an apartment. Have a sit down and give him fair warning. Then follow through and baby step him through it.
I put money down on a small house - my girls live together there and pay the mortgage while they’re in college. When they’re done, hopefully some money will come back which I can use to give them some help, like weddings, first homes. It will work out but yes, you have to push them out. Good luck
@@sunshinelively he can go to college (first 2 years) totally for free in Michigan.
I don't make the kind of money to buy a second house or pay anything toward his living expenses. He would have to work full time.
We had a conversation about all of this. Not the first one by any means, but he seems to understand my concerns.
He contributes a significant portion of his paycheck to our collective living expenses (food, utilities, etc) and often complains that he has no money for anything else. I told him this is not because I charge too much, but because he doesn't earn enough to pay his own way. He needs to go to college (trades included) and take on a profession. If I were to get sick or die (I had cancer already) he would not have me to pay the bills. He has no back up plan.
I think he gets it. I am not pushing him out as long as I continue to see progress toward self-sufficiency. He cannot fritter away his time gaming. A bit is fine, but not at the expense of self-sufficiency.
CPA here. Boomers are a dichotomy financially. The averages are skewed. 1/10 are doing well. 1/10 will be ok. 8/10 are broke. Most of them failed at life. They’re 60+ with nothing saved and 26 years to go on the mortgage on the big house with two people living in it that they won’t sell because the wife won’t downsize. They’re utter failures. Despite high interest rates of the 80’s, housing was abundant and cost 10 to 20% of what it does today. My Dad bought our little home in KC for $30,000 in 1980 4:11 and today it’s worth $250,000. These people ran up their cards, refinanced the house 4 times and owe more now than what they purchased it for.
This is quickly becoming my favourite UA-cam channel. Love some of the credible guest you have on here that are educated and not just talking pure bro science.
Early Gen Xer here. We paid into social security for our entire working lives. I saved as much as I could since the age of 40. Solidly middle class on my social worker salary. I have not seen any transfer of wealth. I will need social security to survive in retirement.
The transfer of wealth happened to the mostly ultra wealthy, and a little to the upper middle class. The middle class definitely did not benefit from the Pandemic Trump tax cuts to the rich.
The wealth is being transferred to multinational corporations who aren’t held accountable as an individual human.
Late Gen Xer here and yes, we are screwed.
To have raised a healthy, secure, close-knit family is our best bet in the modern world!
We also transferred a lot of it to grifters who claimed the COVID insurance while they were working. There were 2X claimants over those actually not working.
GenX here as well. Worked and contributed to social security since age 14. Full-time employment since 17 and social security is anticipated to completely be bankrupt the year before I start to draw.
It steams me when boomers with stock portfolios, pensions and 401k accounts complain about how little social security pays out.

Its hilarious to read this comment section. Fighting over why things are shit instead of figuring out what everyone can do to change that. Its always very ironic to see people agree about something and yet insult one another over a slightest difference in view as to how that thing came to be. I think that is one of the successes of the controlled media, figuring out that if you spit out 100 different versions of the events, people will fight over what version of events is correct, spinning their wheels, instead of finding common points and working on those. I bet you a million dollars that I dont have that if people on different ends of our current divide each made a list of things they want the future to be for their kids, most of those would coincide. Finding common goals like this is what our society needs.
31 y/o woman here. I'm a business owner. I did everything they told me. I've wised up since then. I can't afford to have kids or a buy a home, I can barely afford the 1 bed apartment I rent and I earn £50 per hour.
So, i've decided to just fuck it all. I don't spend on anything aside from food and bills and some small businesses I support. Why should I bust my arse anymore?? Why should I have kids knowing they'll face worse hardship than me? I'm not letting that happen. Frugality is the way forward, and avoiding bad debt is key.
I'll fence sit my way through life because 'hard work = better life' is an illusion. I don't want for much. It would be nice to afford to buy my dad a knee replacment, he's still working at 71. It costs 13k private. It would be nice to buy some land and live on it, but i'd need hundreds of thousands of pounds just to live like peasants did back in the 1500s...
I've decided to just do the minimal amount of work to free up my time so I can work on what matters to me. Fuck it.

£50 per hour is a good pay day - depending on whether you have a ltd company or not. If you have a ltd company then that could easily drop to £15 and then yes it would be very tough.

No kids... no mention of husband/BF/GF etc.
Unless you gamble... if you are single... you should be able to afford more than that... but as i say.. if you have a ltd company and you are on £50 an hour... then it could be equivalent to £15-£20 an hour.. and then yes... i can see how you might struggle.

Scott Galloway is on point. Reaganomics has transferred the wealth upwards, especially here in the United States. 45 years of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and a war on labor has brought us here. When it comes to wealth inequality, we are now closer to a developing country than our European cohorts. The wealth has clustered at the top as the middle class has been squeezed into scraping by paycheck to paycheck.

Im 26M single and sexless for longer periods of time. I could be in a relationship rn if I wanted and I rejected handful of women. I lost a lot of money, time and heart in my last relationship. I was broke, I lost friends, a house, my country, my education and myself because I was attached to a teenage pussy without any guidance. Im not the kind of men the guess describes. I dont smoke and party crazy every night with friends. I dont play videogames and drink. I work, I exercise, I read, I cook, I meditate, I reflect on gratitude. I still dress a shirt on a dinner night, I smell good and treat my teeth and hair well. I look better than most people, coupled or not. I got a 6 pack last summer. I worked shitty jobs and now I got the opportunity to go back to school so I could invest in a profiting career. I would not give my heart to the first women who appears. The slightest hint of disrespect over my person and you out of the equation. I approached women who took me for granted and now they regret it. Its not only men who are single and sexless.

I was born in 1995 and it seriously feels like I caught the last helicopter out of Vietnam sometimes.
I was lucky enough to have a normal early childhood free from the internet (the last generation of kids to do so), I had an adolescence of limited social media and turned 18 in 2013, right at the time social media went mobile. I had my struggles with anxiety and insecurity because of it, but was old enough to handle it.
I met my now-husband in uni in 2014. That was also the year tinder launched and the dating landscape started to become more shallow and toxic.
I’m 27 now and am starting to experience people my age wishing they were younger. Personally, I really don’t. I’ll forever be grateful for the time in history in which I was born.
Being a teenager/young adult nowadays seems very tough. I really wish everyone that’s coming of age in the 2020s the best of luck. Growing up is never easy, and the current generation is facing unique challenges that we have never seen in human history.
The true last helicopter out. Cut it close
Very well said. Your "last helicopter out of Vietnam" metaphor is disturbingly accurate.
You look smart enough, so don't waste you time. Get your kids, now! You 'll never regret having done it before being in your 30s.
You're right on the money with your analogy. Humans are in a race against time, as more and more people are chasing fewer and fewer resources. No country in recorded history gobbles up resources faster than the US. If the American government doesn't find ways to better manage it's runaway spending the "end game" will be upon us much sooner than anyone anticipated. The upshot, of course, will be that America's obesity epidemic will disappear practically overnight, as Americans will be doing lots of manual labor all the time.

It’s four decades of global wage arbitrage by the big corporations. They don’t have to pay you and do not need the revenue provided by the pittance of wages you spend as a consumer.
A study was done in 2018 that shows that since 1980, the average worker in America had lost $1,000 a month, strictly in wages, to the wealth transfer toward the 1%. That's the AVERAGE over 40 years.
Which means it was probably only $100 a month per worker in the early 80's. And closer to $3000 per month now. *Imagine if the average US worker today was making an ADDITIONAL 3k per month right now.*
Soon there will be trillionaires. Game over.
A study was done in 2009 that said the moon is made of cheese. Take my word for it bro.
Is that all? I would have guessed more.
It's called inflation, and it's been stealing from us heavily since the 70's. Without sound monetary policy, nothing else matters. None of the problem we're discussing will be able to be solved as long as the Fed is allowed to counterfeit infinite money. It's literally this simple, but nobody talks about it.
@@xraceboyex uhhhh... that's not inflation. It's the largest transfer of wealth in human history. Worker wages have completely stagnated for 40 years while CEO and exec salaries have exploded.

22:16 _“Men aren’t good at executive functions. They're kind of two years behind. An 18 year old boy applying to college is sort of on par with a 16 or a 17 year old girl.”_
-Not entirely accurate. Galloway might be confusing maturity and intelligence. IQ Comparisons show male and female mean IQs are about equal below the age of 15 but males have a higher mean IQ from age 15 on. So the above example is actually the reverse with the 18 year old male likely competing against a female of lower IQ at the same age.
23:39 _“We leveled the playing field on education and what we found is women just absolutely blew by men.”_
-This would mean the 50 years ongoing explicit effort to advantage females at the expense of males, at all levels of society, has had zero affect and that after 200,000 years males are failing simply because, within the last couple decades, as it turns out, females are inherently better in every way based purely on merit. This is a highly dubious claim!
@@DisposableSupervillainHenchman Well, yes, but It’s not only women that are allowed to excel, it’s also girls, and not only do men allow it, boys do also.

Are you not blaming others?
And if they take the blame how will that fix your life? Life is fu&cked up and unfair for everyone. So the only way to change things is to take 100% responsibility for your own life.

It's possible the world just sucks now compared to how it used to be. Way more people and competition for resources. Excessive greed and corruption from those who came before us, significantly more awareness about the realities around us because of ease of access to information. One downside of social media is seeing what life could be (without the bad stuff), making you feel like your life sucks

Greed has not increased throughout generations. The evidence for that is skewed because so many more people got so much more stuff. That doesn’t mean they were greedier, just more successful and had better opportunities.
I have a hard time relating to this guy's views. I'm a 62 year-old baby boomer. I have owned 2 homes in my life. I make about 52K a year, I rent a crappy apartment. I am single and don't care too much about wealth. I care about being debt free. I Planning on working till I am 81. I am planning on having all my funeral arrangements paid for ahead of time so my kids don't have to worry.
I love that I live 1 mile from work, half mile from the grocery store, and 1 mile from the Jiu Jitsu school I train at. The thing I value most are my accomplishments. If I make it to 81 it can be said of me I devoted 50 years of my adult life to serving my country. Between being in the military and working as a civil. I value my children greatly, and for me I feel like my most valuable personal accomplishment is my Jiu-Jitsu training of experience the past 27 years. It has been a wonderfully humbling experience. I value that I'm a 62 year old purple belt. My life feels fairly. My professor at Alliance jiu-jitsu assured me that I'll be a black belt. My response to that statement is if I don't die first. They said Chuck no, you will because you never give up.
Thank you for the work that you do hear an inspiring young man!
I hate Tik-Tok! My youngest son is on it all the time. He is 25, I'm worried he cleans the value of his life from how other people view him.
Excellent interview!!! Several thoughts
1. People need to do what they are best at rather than following their passion,
2. Work very hard at your career and get into your best physical health possible especially when you are young. To achieve this high level of growth you need to stay away from drugs/alcohol.
3. Finding a high value/quality mate is one of the most important goals a person should have, since failure to find the best mate for you will have very negative consequences. Of course the cost of divorce high, but a bad mate will make difficult times worse and good times less enjoyable.
4. Make the social deposits of staying in contact with people, attending funerals, offering a kind word to someone in need, which are easy to do but will yield you very valuable benefits if life.
5. Meet as many people as you can to improve your luck of meeting the best people possible and getting yourself into high value situations. Create as many opportunities for yourself as possible. Force yourself to be as social as possible.
6. Be able to handle rejection. A big key of success is being able to recover after a failure/setback.
I concur heavily on number 1. I am very passionate about fishing. That said, I don't see myself being able to support my family by being a professional fishman. That is why I chose engineering. The problem is that those who chose their passion expect the rest of us to bail them out.
Great advice throughout
So well written. Yes we need all these. We got to push hard. We are being brainwashed to take things slow. Yes breaks are important, scheduling of activities in the right manner is important to avoid burn outs. But keep pushing. Unleashing potential to the fullest is important. And crap social media nonsense forcing people to stay indoors. Things need to change. We are being reprogrammed a lot, a lot of nonsense.
But following passion is important. I feel it also helps to keep one active
I’ve never agreed more with a list. Excellent points!
He can somehow simultaneously hold the position that young men are disaffected and have the scales stacked against them, especially in single parent households AND that someone like Maloni in Italy is fascist light because she supports the family and calls out the left's war on traditional values is very telling
Leftism is totally incoherent.
Leftists have been attacking the family for 40 years. They’ve twisted everything into ugliness. Now they’re getting buyers remorse and demanding we give them the power to twist things up and wreck even more.
I read it as the scapegoating of minorities was his key concern about Maloni.

The conversation about modern day young men was depressing just to listen to, simply because it’s true.
I don’t feel like this has done me any good to listen to what I already know…
I’m a young man with not a lot going for me, even though I’m tall, fit, and decent looking. I have been both screwed over, and have failed in many different ways and avenues, including the military. In my experience, life has simply not been very enjoyable. And I simply do not trust being in a relationship anymore.

03:00 thats straight up obfuscating the facts. Its not "the babyboomers" its upper middle class/ upper class babyboomers which will (most likely) pass down their wealth down through heritage. Its a class conflict not a generational conflict.

Take him with a grain, but, man, he's making some awesome observations.
If this guy is an educator at NYU, which is one of the most expensive universities in the United States, he should take a pay cut of maybe 50% which would still leave him in the top 10% of earners so that "the children" could afford to attend NYU without going into massive student debt.
Most elite liberals pretend that they aren't "upper class" or truly privileged, as if to conveniently deflect all the blame to the billionaire class, instead of the broad class of 2nd tier elites who actually manage society.
He does
It's my opinion that you get what you pay for. If you cut this guy's salary in half, he's smart enough to quit and take a higher salary somewhere else doing the same job....except now it's the private sector and the PATIENT pays more, not the school.
It seems that we've never paid teachers for the value they give to society. If you pay them all less, it will draw less talent, and less talent will hurt us, not how, but 20 years later, when the students are old enough to contribute (or not).
It's just my opinion. I know in Singapore, public teachers are paid more than DOCTORS and. the only way to GET that job is to graduate in the top 5% of your university class. (Public sector doctors only need top 10%). SO....if you're a doctor in singapore, it's because you werent SMART enough to be a teacher.
They've rewarded the shapers of the future with money, status, and comfort, so their future generations are taught competitively by the best and brightest their society has to offer. Sadly, it's a smaller country with less resources, so that solution is likely not possible here. However, it seems to me that their model is a step in the right direction.

I'm interested to hear from others in the comments to see if anyone else is getting really tired of people having a conversation about the problems of men and boys in the way demonstrated here. The statement "lonely men are dangerous" is a pretty interesting way to frame a problem whose negative consequences weigh almost exclusively upon the "lonely men" in question, as if to say that their suffering wouldn't be an issue, or at least not an issue worthy of discussing, if the only resulting fate of "lonely men" was to kill themselves. If we want men not to be useless, maybe we should start by giving boys a reason to strive to become the best kind of man they can be, not for the sake of "[insert political demographic here]", but for the sake of their ability to live a life worth living. This problem is existential, it's a problem born of hopelessness and purposelessness and an ailing suspicion that perhaps it's better not to exist than to continue to try and fail to live meaningfully... so why the hell do the few people who consider this a problem worth addressing always proceed to so with the language of an economist, or a politician, or a social justice activist? How the hell is this a problem that can be solved from the top-down anyway? Maybe the reason boys are failing in school (both in absolute terms, and relative to girls) is because boys have not been shown any reason as to why they should succeed. Perhaps the disparity between the rate of maturation between girls and boys isn't so simple as it seems, perhaps the reason for the slower maturation of boys is itself a consequence of the fact that boys are given no impetus to mature in a way that girls simply are by virtue of their biology (i.e. bleeding from one's genitals is pretty good reason to mature). Boys don't have an executive function problem, they have a purpose problem... what exactly is the point of executive functioning when one has never had a reason to function executively? This is, of course, an anecdote, but the point I think is self-evident throughout history, Alexander the Great was 20 when he changed the world forever and I'm fairly confident his executive function wasn't under developed when he did.
On a different note, if by "uneducated" he means unaccredited then he has entirely misunderstood the reality of the problem. I don't feel I'm "uneducated" because I lack a graduate degree in political science or some other equally frivolous non-sense that doesn't translate to economic value, I'm perfectly capable of being educated without needing to take out a loan for money I'd very much prefer to invest on actually useful things. Maybe these are words of insecurity from a man who had the audacity to read books and work for myself after high school instead of doing the "educated" thing by submitting myself to the industry of so-called "higher" learning. Either I'm being a stupid baby, or this guy is a little out of touch about people who aren't like himself and his elitist friends.
28:33 - How is it not happening? If I understand correctly, London has a knife gang problem. It's certainly happening all over Europe, and it sure as hell is happening in cities across the united states, try telling someone from Chicago that "roving gangs of young, disaffected, young guys pushing over granny and causing havoc" isn't an issue. Contrary to popular belief, gang violence isn't a racial thing, and it isn't a problem of poverty: it is a problem of purposelessness, an existential problem that is almost exclusive to the male sex because women possess purpose and value implicitly by virtue of the fact that they are the source of all human life regardless of externalities like society.
Yeah, you are spot on with the "lonely men are dangerous" thing.
I think one of the main reasons why boys are failing in school is because in 2022 (and well, since decades earlier) school is pretty much useless outside of socialization. School actively holds you down, wastes your time and miseducates you. I think it's evident to a lot of kids today. Boys have the balls to give school the middle finger, and are less servile than women.
I agree with everything you wrote.
Agree 💯 with this comment
Very accurate and well stated!
He still frames this like it's individuals and not massive corporations building cheap apartments instead of condos or houses.
Ain't that the truth. I've never seen a new starter home go up in my lifetime, I'm 60. All McMansions. I settled for a townhouse in my late 30s but really wish I didn't have too.
I remember being young and always saying that "Grit is the average and below man's method of success. The truly great make calculated decisions and are in touch with the calculus of risk. Nothing is ever guaranteed but you can move forward knowing you've tilted everything in your favor."
Now that I'm 30 I realize I was a moron. That's true but who does that information serve? I just humiliated myself by proving I wasn't good enough for that knowledge to apply to, I disheartened the average men and women that I kept repeating that statement to and the superior people that heard that already knew about it and probably just thought I was an idiot for saying something that though factually true, is better off being left unsaid.
Scott, Tax cuts do not “enrich” anyone. They do no more than reduce the amount that it stolen from them.
Gotta disagree with moving to the city. Why cut ties with family and old friends to start over someplace else that's more expensive with less people who will care about and help you? Just to feel like your competing with bigger fish? I moved to a city at 20 and it might have been the worst decision in my life.

@@hosmerhomeboy Are you implying that education shouldn't be for everyone? Because that's a much worse solution than the problem we already have in hand
The housing crisis will work itself out over time as our population shrinks. It will bring a lot of negative consequences but at least housing demand will drop and we'll end up with a glut of housing. It will take several decades though. The education system needs to be completely blown up and rebuilt from scratch - school choice would be the single best thing we could do in this area, with many more tech and vocational tracks. And no more governmental backstopping of loans - make universities assume the moral hazard for crappy low-pay degree programs and watch them disappear.
@@WhoBlah21 Higher education (or "indocrination," more accurately) is not for everyone. Going to work or into a trade school - or getting a non-labour two-year degree - are much more viable options for many people.
@@Khalikhalzit I agree that higher education should be the only viable paths, I wish more schools gave their students alternative paths if they cannot or don’t want to attend college. However, there’s a serious problem on the lack of men attending and finishing college.

Im making close to 120k at 35 working a full time and a side job. My wife also works. Together we will be taking home close to 200k. With the increased cost of food, insurance, medical costs for 2 kids, car payments/ maintenance, frequent unplanned household maintenance, childcare, and student loan payments, we barely make over break even every month. Its absolutely criminal how exepensive everything has become that 200 freaking k a year barely gets us by. I make enough to invest a little bit for retirement but the stock market is a crack riddled casino completely juiced with debt and liquidity that swings wildly both directions it feels completely unstable and not something i want to keep any money in. I feel like boomers got to enjoy much more stability in markets, even with 2 pretty significant crashes that ended up both great buying opportunities. Now the government focuses on making sure we dont get any more stock market downturns so all the stocks we get to buy are wildly over priced.
I think the collapse of 2008 changed a lot. What I saw was people who had done everything they were told to do have the rug pulled right out from underneath them and through no fault of their own, lose everything. That changes your thinking.
Well just proves we don't teach how to think anymore. 2008 was just a distraction for wealth transfer. One of so many since 1913
Same happened with the Great Depression. I see a lot of lack-of-empathy in comments here, and black swan events like those tend to be the only thing that re-orients that type of person. It's different when it happens to them.
I got fired along with 200 others in 08. I was 53. For the first time in my life I was able to take 99 weeks off. The government gave me $500.00 per week. I had a blast. After that I went back to work for 1 more year then retired. I always had a job. I've worked since I was 13. We own are home. Every year since it was introduced I always maxed out my 401-k. The government limit. Not the company match. I started SS at 62. This January my check will be $2343.00 per month. Most people at 62 don't receive half that number. Nothing is free in life. Nobody ever gave me a dime. Im proud of that. Sometimes I worked 2 jobs to have the things I wanted. And retire early. You can too. Work is work. Max out your 401-k. That's important. There are lots of girls out there. Pick one that's well educated and works hard. Your whole life will be gravy. You want to be broke your whole life? Marry someone that's broke and not educated. Leave those girls to the suckers. Think very carefully about the cost of having kids. I got fixed at 27. I found a girl that wanted more out of life than having kids and be broke. Most of are friends over the years got divorced and the man was broke for years paying support. I was never going to be that guy. People make choices. Every 4 weeks I get that SS check and spend every penny of it. I call it play money. I earned it. Good luck.
@@peternorthrup6274 Good for u, but I'm not sure it's as teachable as you think. Some might be critical of being a 99-er at $500 yet saying nobody ever gave you a dime. Huh?

The other problem is that's what's good for the goose with the sterilization doesn't work for the gander.

Sometimes choices that bring maximized benefit to an individual can't be upheld as a role model for society because at that level they don't work. And ultimately if we fail on the societal level, it'll be far harder for individuals to succeed.
Spot on with his condemnation of TikTok and his summarization of the loneliness epidemic among young men. However, his logic falls apart shortly thereafter. He falls right back into the Democrat playbook of demonizing men as dangerous right wing misogynistic bigots. That mindset will continue to push men towards the ideas he seems to be against.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, victim blaming as always. Most of those men are harmless to society and they have been rejected. What is the need to see them as a problem when clearly there are greater issues around? Is not as if they cared about men anyway. They just want to blame those men for their own policy trash.
Not Democrat - feminist.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Call people dangerous and back them into a corner. So when they have no options but to lash out you can say I told ya so. It's evil
Man seems a little removed from the trials and tribulations on the ground here. Good coach for those already on second and third base. Godspeed, Professor Galloway.
Absolutely on point. My generation has accumulated wealth and excluded our kids. Im a builder, and housing is expensive due to easy money policies and exclusionary zoning thats not only designed to exclude others, but drive up cost due to the weaponozation of local and state governments which adds ridiculous cost and limits supply. Until recently, housing cost increases were not due to materials and labor but administrative costs and linitation on supply
I appreciate this man's message. One thing I take issue with however, is the idea that - 'because a lot of these issues have been based on political decisions means it's solvable.' Some older millenials, born at the very worst time have lost years to these kinds of policy decisions, and they will never fully recover. Put simply, it's too late to make it better now
He’s a liberal man.
For as many things he gets right, he gets quite a lot wrong. Great conversation!
You mean you disagree with him. Not too many things in here you could say are objectively "wrong". That's why politics are so immaterial, you just believe something different, that doesn't make it wrong.
Yes his takes on China and TikTok are straight neo-con horseshit. Stopped watching after that.
More wrong I'd say
He's way more wrong than right. He literally said that if you listen to propaganda you might believe the covid injections were not effective 😂😂😂🤦🤦🤦🤦
I don't think overabundance is inherently problematic, I think it's what we do with it. And we're doing really dumb things with it out of self interest rather than using it to help each other.
Amazing guest, thank you!
In post WWII America, you had to be an absolute idiot to not retire a millionaire. Ever ask a boomer career advice? “Eye contact & a firm handshake” that’s literally all it took to become the managing director of some company from 1955-1995
The problem is boomers parents saw the horrors of the depression & WWII and spoiled boomers rotten. Boomers grew up thinking the unprecedented bubble they were living in was just how the world worked. It’s not entirely their fault. The money just rolled in, all you had to do was show up on time & not suck & you could retire with a second home.
The problem is they thought that’s how the world works but it was a giant bubble. It popped, they didn’t know how to stop spending, so they ran up crippling debt, & passed it on to gen x & the millennials.
The economy today is similar to the 1880s - lots of industry booming but it’s all monopolistic & the average person works hard for very little. The problem today is people are starting with a mountain of debt.
So 2 things happen, millennials just say fck it and keep racking up the debt & facade, or they detach entirely & embrace a life of adult childhood smoking weed & watching porn.
I think about how many pieces of boomer advice were about how to get ahead in a world that no longer exists.
How can this guy be so intelligent and have so much good information and also be so incredibly partisan from the left? I’ve leaned democrat all my life but have parted from the party the last few years as I’m much more progressive than the party wants to be.. but, how can such an intelligent dude be so incredibly partisan? I mean, it’s his right to be partisan, to be sure, but I’m just wondering how one can be so smart in some areas, and then not see the fallacy in some of his other beliefs. Regardless of his partisanship beliefs, awesome episode, and I appreciate all his info regardless. As I’m a slightly older millennial (born in ‘86), all of this resonated with me greatly, and I agree the boomer generation kinda fucked my generation, hard. And now, because my generation saw how that affected us, we are not doing the same thing the boomers did by taking advantage of the younger generation, because I’ve seen the effects of that, my generation is treating my kids’ generation much different, so that we millennials don’t fuck over our kids’ generation.. so yet again we millennials get fucked, the older generation took advantage of us, and we’re helping our kids’ generation with a hand-up instead of helping ourselves get to a level playing field. Millennials- the most fucked generation in history, lol.
The cvck is strong with him.
@@Willie_Wahzoo How could it not be so? Scott has made millions being a C student who tells the right people what they want to hear.
That's the problem. People can't possibly understand how someone could think differently.
35:51 the lack of male role models is such a huge problem
Help men as long as they learn to be progressives in the process. This is his overall message.
And that it's all the evil conservatives fault
@@adamdrouin2295
Evil is correct
@@wyleecoyotee4252 Keep drinking that kool aid 👍
The problem with women outcompeting men is one of a SECURITY, RISK, AND SAFTEY level being 'The Fourth Turning'! Women CAN'T PHYSICALLY COMPETE with that. Therefore, the fourth turning WILL ALWAYS RESET THE SYSTEM. Good men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create good men. Are women going to step up and volunteer their lives to save others and create good times? NO! They will be wiped out even if they attempted it. Why else would a LOSER male who can't compete with his own cohert of other males noadays want to IDENTIFIY as a female? To get on female teams KNOWING he can outcompete them with little to no effort!
My son’s test scores put him in the top 0.3% of global students. He applied to 11 universities and got into one. His guidance counselor said “you don’t check any boxes, getting into college is going to be hard.” We manage what we measure. We have stopped looking at grades and started focusing on class, gender, and race. That’s a huge mistake. We need to reward performance, and we don’t. Arbitrary social engineering is pushing the world into a bad place.
In the UK?
It's well documented that in the UK non white students and non British students score higher in exams than white British students and gypsies.
So the highest achievers academically from keys stage 1 to A levels is the non white people, specifically first generation imagrants.
However at the most prestigious universities, white students are still accepted more than the children who actually have the best exam results. There was a few documentaries about this few years ago. It's also why Oxford and Cambridge in recent years have been outspoken about it.
So, I guess you don't live in the UK.
I mean to be fair we also used to focus on gender and race back then 😂 same shit, different people
I absolutely love Scott Galloway. He is so reasonable and measured. Not cookie cutter or kool aid drinking on either side
So much left out of such an important conversation. We need to bring back WHOLE FAMILIES
This is the elephant in the room.
I thought it was obvious that you work hand at career and health (and income), and find a good mate due to this hard work, and the WHOLE family of support comes of course after. Friends as well. What did I miss?
If a game is rigged for you to lose it's simple don't participate in the game. If rent is ridiculously priced just make a sacrifice for a period of time and live in a van or vehicle of some sort and save a bucketload of money until you can afford to buy or just live like that forever surely, it's not that hard to understand. if you choose to play the game that's your choice.
I will support school choice and candidates who support vocational education. I am disabled now, but I homeschooled 5 underprivileged children as well as my own children. I tried to give then useful skills as long as they were with me.
18:51 exactly why I stopped playing video games at 19. At 33 I'm 9 years from retirement, without counting my side businesses, making 70k a year, new car, gated community, in excellent shape (11% body fat), still setting new exercise records, achieved 1/2 major life goals, etc.
After I found my life's purpose at 17 I couldn't really focus on video games or TV much. Video game companies overcharge and don't even give you exactly what you want in the game, so what's the point?
What do you see the world lacking? Become that and give it to the world. That's your purpose. Do that and your calling will call you.
Edit: Also realized this and I became extremely grateful for my family. 48:30
Lost me when he said the BBC was a reputable source of news information 🤣
When I first heard about a Tiktok, I had this powerful gut feeling that it was a weapon. I can not think of a more efficient tool for highjacking the attention span of the youth and getting them absolutely addicted to devices. That was BEFORE I even knew it was Chinese.
The original ad campaign was cringey and people mocked it for so long. Then it changed.
You guys get likes too easily on this channel. Tik Tok is the same thing as Vine, it just wasn’t cool to complain about vine like it is with Tik Tok.
Tiktok has the ability to render an adult male brain into that of a prepubescent girl. If you use tiktok you are objectively a loser.
Bless his heart. He tried.
I appreciate his attempt at conversation on these issues, but it merely serves as a good example of why you should try to demolish your own arguments from another perspective before making them public. There was so much inaccuracy and so many poorly drawn conclusions, which would not have been spoken if Scott had taken this approach.
Another point to take away from this is to only speak as an authority on things you actually know about.
Scott embarrassed himself with this one.
"You're not going to end up with dangerous men; you're going to end up with useless men."
Well said
Thank you Algo for sending this to me now, missed it 11 months back!
DUDE …. We don’t have the money to pay rent let alone pay for hobbies and to go out with friends
Friends? Everyone is just waiting to be offended so they can hate you 🖕🔥🔥🔥🔥
