Summary

Special guest Nathan Halberstadt joins Tate and Connor to break down why runaway housing prices have pushed so many Zoomers into despair. disengagement, and blackpilling. From impossible homeownership and stagnant wages to the feeling that the system is rigged, they explain how the housing crisis is reshaping an entire generation's outlook on work, family, and the future.

They also dig into how immigration policy, population pressure, and rapid cultural change intersect with housing scarcity, and why many young people feel they're being asked to accept permanent decline. The conversation zooms out to the broader sense of cultural decay, lost social trust, and why optimism is collapsing among the young, and what is driving the renewed interest in Christianity among Gen Z.

0:53.3

I travel around a good amount, so partly, you know, meeting with founders, investors, things like this. And then very interested in like the political and civilizational and cultural questions. And it's a big part of why I enjoy talking with you, Tade and Connor, I've been following some of your stuff as well. So excited about the conversation. I love it. I love it. Well, we're, our thankful,

1:10.9

and we got a great topic. I mean, when I saw this topic jump up on the timeline, it had to be Halbs. Had to be Halbs. So I'm just going to jump in here. I'm going to read, this was a headline that dropped this week. It instigated quite interesting discourse. the boomers and zoomers went at it again. This happens like every three months. This was the headline. Gen Z has cut down on their effort at work because they do not think it is worth it if they cannot afford long-term financial coals per YF. So obviously there's been this big rift between boomers and zoomers. Pretty much as soon as

1:47.8

Zoomers could talk, this, this discourse started in which zoomers are saying, look, I'm looking

1:54.1

towards the future. All of these promises that were made to me, this inheritance that I was

1:57.6

supposed to receive is no longer there. Therefore, I'm going to black pill. Therefore, I'm going to check out. Housing prices are through the roof. Unemployment is super high. And when I do get a degree, I don't even feel like I can get a job that would utilize my degree. I don't think I'm going to get married. I can't even like riz up women anymore. Like where the hose at has become a very salient question for the Azum patriot sensitive young patriot males. There's just a variety of issues that are causing zoomers to black pill. I don't know what you guys think of this, what your consensus is, what your reaction is to the discourse. Do the boomers have a point? Are the zoomers just inherently flawed? Or maybe do the zoomers have a point the boomers are selfish and pull the

2:34.2

ladder behind them or is the truth somewhere in the middle i want to first ask connor for his take

2:39.1

and then nathan you can give us the correct take and just lay out all the data and probably provide

2:43.2

some graphs like you typically do well uh first of all say i i know that you have far too large a

2:50.1

harem of eagles to really engage in the question of where the hose at.

2:53.6

So this is truly a 1% male problem.

I remember the Sigma male Brineset meme going around a few years ago,
