I'll reverse engineer that question.
It's dangerous because it'll kill you.
It's dangerous because look around at our culture.
Other than like Scott Calloway, there's nobody writing blogs on the plight of men.
And if you look at the suicide statistics, if you look at the mental health catastrophe that is men, if you look at the loneliness, the joblessness, the incarceration rates, men are not thriving.
There's a few at the very tip, tip, tip top.
And we like to point at all them and say, look at that.
But
Men are socialized from the age of two to shut up and just go on and do the next thing.
And nobody cares about how you feel.
Stop whining, stop complaining, and just go, go, go, go, go.
And so all men are taught at a very young age how you feel about a thing.
The things going on inside your chest simply do not matter.
Nobody cares.
And as that message has accelerated through our culture, you've seen what I would call catastrophic job loss.
Technology has taken away jobs that traditionally men have done.
And men have also been blamed over the last 50 to 100 years for every single solitary problem on the planet.
And so I think in mass, men have gotten the message, we don't need you, we don't want you, you're a burden to all of us.
If you can't sit still in a classroom at the age of six, then we're gonna say something's wrong with your brain and we're gonna dope you up and we're gonna blame you for wanting to move or wanting to go outside or wanting to have experiences, right?
And so I think men in large have gotten the message that the world doesn't want them around.
