Young Men Suffering Disproportionately
- Young men in the U.S. face starkly worse outcomes across homelessness, addiction, incarceration, and suicide compared to women.
- Economic shifts and loss of male role models have disproportionately harmed young men's prospects.
Alex Kearns' Tragic Robinhood Error
- Scott Galloway describes Alex Kearns, a teen who killed himself after a Robinhood error showed a false $60,000 loss.
- This case catalyzed Galloway's deeper investigation into teen suicide and tech harms.

- Boys are neurologically and emotionally less mature than girls, delaying impulse control until around age 25.
- This maturity gap helps explain higher suspension rates, lower academic results, and later life outcomes for boys.
