Episode notes
The Most Dangerous Person
- Modern society produces many lonely, young, broke men, who are the most dangerous.
- This is due to a combination of social media, lack of opportunities, and single-parent homes.
Importance of Male Role Models
- Boys need male role models, especially after divorce, and often lack them in early education.
- Single-parent households and lack of male teachers contribute to this issue, leading to worse outcomes for boys.
Wealth Disparity and Social Security
- Baby boomers are significantly wealthier than younger generations, partly due to policies like Social Security.
- Scott Galloway suggests that Social Security should be reformed to avoid wealth transfer from young to old.
