Talking points: masculinity, isolation, culture, suicide

Look, Netflix's Adolescence was solid. But like anything Hollywood, it's not the whole picture. The big picture is complex, systemic, and deeply uncomfortable—and we seem to have built a culture that simply doesn't want to talk about it meaningfully and practically. I'm grateful for men like George (aka TheTinMen) who work tirelessly to point out how men's issues are important, complicated, and deserving of attention. Listen in.

(00:21:44) - The collapse of male spaces, and why are struggling men framed as inconvenience?

(00:38:09) - George’s take on increasing levels of loneliness and isolation in men, and possible solutions

(00:44:51) - What people get wrong about male suicide

(00:50:43) - Is it inherently bad/toxic that a man wants to provide for people?

(00:58:51) - Data on how domestic violence and sexual abuse is underreported in men

(00:59:04) - How do you learn what “enough” is, and the psychology of bitcoin
