Talking points: social media, masculinity, culture, the manosphere

You know the type. The conflict-focused, disrespectful bastions of non-matured masculinity. All loudly promising—if only you follow their framework—the secret to making millions and having your own harem.

I get a lot of asks to weigh on this. Specifically, what makes these guys so popular. Here are my thoughts.

(00:00:00) - Intro and what I grew up with

(00:03:39) - The feeling of virility and reckless certainty is understandable, but it has a cost.

(00:07:49) - If I were 19, I’d get the appeal

(00:10:05) - Men with actual status aren’t out there selling you status, and the formula these guys use

(00:14:55) - We need to pull back and ask who we’re actually listening to

(00:17:54) - It’s hard to find real elders; harder to listen
