Every generation faces some kind of unique challenge.

And I believe our greatest challenge is our own success.

With our wealth and automation, we've gotten rid of risk and responsibility.

On one side of the culture war, you have parents who are bulldozing all obstacles away

from their children. So these young people grew up without actually facing any challenges.

When they become adults, they're too fragile to actually live in the real world.

And thus they demand government intervention.

They want safe spaces where they can be safe from bad opinions.

They think criticism is harassment. They demand censorship.

Because they're used to someone being in control all the time.

On the other side, you see a loss of responsibility.

We have machines taking over, we have an abundance of food.

And now we have young people who don't know what they're doing with their lives.

They feel bored, disaffected, or depressed.

Many just sit around playing video games all day.

And this is why I see someone like Jordan Peterson becoming so prominent.

He speaks to young people when he says,

you need some responsibility in your life.

You need a mission and something to do.

Naturally, people on the left who are very fragile get offended and outraged by this.

Because they've never actually dealt with a real challenge.

Today, I want to talk about what I see are some of the root causes in the culture.
