Episode notes
Masculinity's Role Is Unclear
- The role of men is unclear today because traditional on-ramps to middle-class life have vanished while women's opportunities exploded.
- That confusion contributes to higher male suicide, addiction, homelessness, and incarceration rates.
Vocational Paths Were Replaced
- Society removed vocational venues like auto shop and woodshop and replaced them with tech-focused on-ramps that suit a small elite.
- Most men never fit that optimized script and lose clear paths to demonstrate competence.
Big Tech Sequesters Young Men
- Big tech algorithms monetize attention by keeping young men on screens and away from offline relationships and mentorships.
- That sequestration increases isolation and reduces chances to develop social and vocational skills.
