Episode notes
Men's Crisis of Meaning and Purpose
- Men find purpose by being competent and contributing to something larger than themselves.
- Modern culture tells men their contributions are unwanted, leading many to disengage from pursuing purpose.
Loss of Male Archetypal Clarity
- Men lack clear, positive role models and are mostly told who not to be.
- This identity fracture breeds shame, confusion, and a lack of backbone needed for maturity.
Impact of Isolation and Community Collapse
- Male community spaces have collapsed, removing essential social support and mentorship.
- Without male bonding and confrontation skills, men are isolated and less able to stand up for themselves.
