Wake up to Real Problems

Society today places undue importance on identity as a source of social credibility, favoring individuals identifying as non-binary or they/them over traditional gender identities. This obsession with identity distracts from real-world issues and leads to a culture of seeking out and amplifying trivial problems. The speaker believes that a significant event, akin to a natural disaster or a war, is necessary to jolt people into realizing the importance of focusing on essential aspects of life such as survival, food, community, friendship, and meaningful pursuits. The speaker also suggests that individuals who indulge in frivolous identity constructs may have underlying mental health issues that require professional help, rather than validation from adults and teachers.
