Summary
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux reviews a series of posts on X from Steve Kornacki on contemporary views on success among Generation Z, emphasizing the differing priorities influenced by gender and political affiliations. Steve Kornacki discusses how Trump-supporting men equate success with familial responsibilities and having children, while Harris-supporting women prioritize career fulfillment and financial independence. Stefan examines the implications of these differing definitions, noting how a self-oriented perspective may lead to emotional instability, particularly for women distancing themselves from traditional roles. The discussion also highlights the psychological impacts of prioritizing individualism over familial connections, advocating for the nurturing of family ties as a path to emotional well-being and stability. Kornacki concludes by urging listeners to reflect on their personal definitions of success in light of societal influences.

| 0:00.0 | Oh, righty, very interesting stuff from Steve Kornacky over on the vaunted Wild West of Thought |
| 0:08.2 | X. He writes, our NBC News Decision Desicin Desic Paul asked, Gen C adults 18 to 29 years old, |
| 0:16.1 | what they consider important to a successful life. The combination of gender and politics produced two very |
| 0:22.8 | different sets of priorities. So let's go into this. Important to personal definition of success. |
| 0:29.7 | So what is it for your personal definition of success? And of course, this is young. |
| 0:36.8 | Young people. So men who voted for Trump, number one, |
| 0:40.4 | having children. Ah, fascinating. Women who voted for Harris, number one, fulfilling job slash career. |
| 0:50.1 | So human beings produce more than we consume. |
| 0:55.6 | We produce more than we consume. |
| 0:57.0 | And the question is why? |
| 0:58.5 | I mean, the obvious answer, of course, is that we produce more than we consume because we have children. |
| 1:05.9 | So we have the capacity to get more food than we need, to have more resources than we need, to get more water |
| 1:13.8 | than we need ourselves because we have children. And of course, that in nature, which is the |
| 1:19.3 | most complex, tends to develop the most slowly, which is why it takes early 20s for women and |
| 1:24.5 | mid-20s for men to achieve full brain maturity. |
| 1:27.6 | Like a quarter century. |
| 1:28.7 | It's mad, right? |
| 1:29.5 | I mean, like horses can walk within a day or two of being born, human beings, take like a year. |
| 1:34.3 | And so having children is the goal. |
| 1:39.8 | Now, men who voted for Trump, people who voted for Trump tended to be significantly more religious, |
| 1:44.9 | and people who are more religious tend to have more children. Atheists have fewer children |
| 1:49.8 | significantly. Agnostics are the worst of all. I think they have a replacement rate of 1.3. |
