 With social media like Jonathan hates talks about this right specifically affects young women or girls The I think there's a lot of things have happened Number one obviously we have we've had economic issues a lot of the blue collar middle-class jobs are getting squeezed That doesn't it doesn't help that the the Fed is printing money through quantitative easing and our buying powers decreasing What's the point in making three times more money when the buying power is losing about? You know inflation 2% plus tax Plus products increasing on average. You're losing about 3.5 to 5% per year for purchasing power We'll probably still be nice for a lot of people to still have their wages going up It's a match that at least but I get what you're saying the Fed just needs to stop printing money and go back to Gold Reserve Yeah, you know our buying power needs to increase hence by Bitcoin Our sponsor today is brought to you by Satoshi Nakamoto by Bitcoin So as a multitude of factor you have social media which is causing mental crisis and young females like crazy Depression suicide. They're affected more like you give boys and Jonathan talks about this highly recommend reading his book the culling of the American mind You give boys internet cell phone, whatever Video games porn, right? They're not that psychologically affected per se right girls girls are the worst when it comes to social creatures girls women They're It's a hierarchical battle between females, right? How does how do I what's the first of all? It's what what's it in it for me second of all? How do I look? From the perception to my other females, right? So they're always comparing compare compare and they ridicule each other extremely, you know boys We have a different way of settling differences, right and it's done, right? I probably won't talk. I might man. I've been a million fights. I'll have a beer with you I've done it like we'll fucking fight it out like two deers, you know, I mean like okay, we're good I dig we have a means of aggression on the other hand young girls. They're not physical per se At least majority let's say 99% so their thing is more chronic. It's verbal abuse group pressure abuse So that's one thing starting early age is social media like I think we're gonna look back 10 15 years and be like This is like smoking cigarettes It it's a tool and I'm not say like any okay, so I have a car cars kill more people than guns It's a fact human beings are horrible drivers, especially now I was all I can drive no problem bang You know I mean like it's ridiculous man. Yeah, I am I want when I cross the road I watch a million times these days like drivers are fucking insane. Yeah, like crazy man I get hit like almost once a day when like oh oops run a red and So like any tool the tools and Nate it doesn't have like sentient intelligence, right? Right, so you have these social media platforms, whatever you name it and it's not like us saying bye-bye social media. I think It can be used for good, right like look what we're doing right now a lot of good can come out of it However, I think we have to start a very young age of understanding There's a time and a place for things. There's a context for things and I think the education needs to start from an early age Of how to use these tools better, you know, that's one aspect of society that needs to change Second aspect of society that needs to change specifically relates to males young males Back in the day you can even view right now with hunters and certain hunters and gather even certain cultures They still have a right of way a passage where there is a psychological trigger Is a trigger of a boy turning into a man? It can be something so simple as a father passing his rifle or a father spending time in a you know Two-day camping trip where they go through an extreme Adventure or experience and the father gives the son something it can be even like whatever a sim a symbolic gift That moment there's a psychological trigger females they naturally By nature are given a psychological trigger They menstruate right we don't Right, and so you that's we see a lot of young angry men today They're still boys and men's bodies They've never they've never had that psychological evolution to have responsibility And it's a multitude of different factors, you know The father's not really in their life doesn't mean he's not there, but he's not part of a part of the family number two Number two you have the fact of And this Jonathan hate to talks about this is the advent of helicopter parents Right will make everything easy for you. So how does that benefit anybody anywhere? You want them to? It's like a puzzle learn the skill fail, you know feelings going to be very normal in life, right get back up learn Enjoy the process don't enjoy the incentive everybody wins now man. It's fun. It's so fucked You get a prize you get a prize you get a prize. Give me a break. How's that training society to be better? Right, it's not it's not. No, it's not So, okay, so I guess unpack you to a certain degree the the social media thing I Do I guess I want to disagree to a certain I think I think it's rather just like it just is Social media is just a tool that's just there it might amplify some of the things well, obviously amplifies a ton of the things but But the relationships. I don't know if it like I don't know if that changes it for I mean I'm a father of a young girl, right and I see I mean I and I had sisters growing up They used to just talk on the phone for hours and hours and hours and there'd still be fights and things going on but this this idea of it like bringing in depression and Depression is like a thing now that everybody's talking about discussing it which they rightly should be Again when I went to school Nobody fucking talked about this oppression ever again, which is it wasn't a thing You know what I mean, and there's still there's an older generation my generation and then older even that like especially like my Parents like scoffing at these kids. It's all everybody's depressed down stuff and it's like yeah, but do you think it's Do you think it the fact that you didn't notice oppression? Maybe the the fact that there is actually more depression Well, see that's that's like I grew up with no social media. I was probably the last generation. I'm maybe five So I'm 34 35 right And so I didn't get I didn't get like a smartphone until I was like Like 22 20 like I was past my high my you know teenage years. I like I will used to be a big fucking part of your Socializing 24 clubs two three times a week raves you name it like outdoors outdoors outdoors no fucking cell phone the cell phone I did was like a What the fuck was Motorola know the razor who had the razor What company was it was a motorola here? Okay, you know the razor like the matrix the matrix fucking razor phone Yeah, so that that's a phone I had for a long time and my original phone like the Nokia brick snake Right and I I enjoyed being in The moment of those events I Was socializing I wasn't being bombarded by oh my god. Look how beautiful that person is on Instagram Oh my god, John's living his life. He's traveling around the world Oh, and I'm gonna salk you my tears over here because I'm not living your life. You know what I mean You have all these psychological social pressures Building up in you and this happening subconsciously like I was never exposed to that ever I would just I wasn't aware of anybody else Doing anything I was just in the moment my whole generation. Well, you were aware of like Celebrities and stars and things. Yeah, but it wasn't 24-7. You didn't have access to 20 The only way you can have access for that is like I go on the fucking internet or get a magazine It wasn't I did Instagram did not exist Facebook did not exist YouTube did not internet in this way Didn't it didn't really exist, you know, I mean, you know, I still it was still like dial-up every remember 256 bit or whatever it was Like I wasn't we weren't bombarded by all these social pressures You know the cognitive load the people are under today and there's the science are it's coming out day by day You know like people waking up viewing Instagram's like Oh gotta view my phone right away in the morning. Is that healthy? No, no, it's not healthy, but we I think we tend to do a lot of things in our teens and 20s that aren't healthy bro, bro And so that's a whole different thing where this I've done too much. I know me too way too much This the stuff I was doing at 16. I mean all I can say is I'm so glad people couldn't just take pictures and post it That's I'm so happy. I was like one of the last generations before all this shit That I fucking did yeah, imagine if that was documented. Oh God Imagine if you were looking at my bio today before like I don't even know if you should come on the show man It's crazy, right and so that's different, right that's totally different, but I Don't know I like So there's bad things to it, right again. It's gray all of this is but this idea that it's What created this sort of like depressed generation? I think is bullshit I think we just weren't aware of it and this we weren't aware of it. That's for sure Right, I mean and it existed as a thing But again this goes back to me where I was like we we are wealthier We're freer to do things we we we travel like people didn't travel the way we travel You know what I mean? Like it's just all the time like either like my daughter or her friends are just like We were in France. We were in Spain. We were in again. It's just so not a thing anymore I mean it when I was in grade nine It was like if somebody was ever going to like Winnipeg or Vancouver. It was like a big thing Yeah, you know what I mean? Not just like oh, wow, that's where you went for the weekend Yeah, of course cool. It that's that's different That's really different and it does give us this freedom. It allows us or enables us to To I mean not just contemplate things because obviously we're checking Instagram all the time We're not contemplating but it does I think as a society Give us more freedom to stop and so for me to stop as a parent and actually Give a shit about like how my daughter might be feeling or thinking which not that my parents didn't care Of course they did but they never stopped and asked like it just wasn't a thing and nobody nobody's like Maybe you should go see a therapist. No one taught you that did they you just learned from your own experience It's not like you went to a class like John mom. That's just how are you going and right? But I'm saying that I think that is afforded to me because of the Lifestyle that things around me have allowed me to live right the internet as it is being able to run a podcast and like Not have to work that much is is not a thing that happened 20 years ago. No, it's it's a it's a luxury beyond a luxury, right? It's like zero point zero zero zero one percent of the world right and but I mean to me that like so There's the grit and the loss of grit and that's terrible. That's a thing that we do need to sort of analyze But I do think that it's not all bad. I think that there's a lot of good things coming out of it I think Us hopefully is like a human race will come out better and will be more evolved in this process I think so like there's a buddha saying it is as it should be, you know like a plot like a passing cloud it comes and goes right you You know, it's like Like the butterfly effect you look back in hindsight and realize well if this if that didn't happen This wouldn't happen. So like dominoes
