I wanted to make a video a little different this time because so many videos going around of advice to young dudes, people giving advice.

Everybody up in arms about male, female interactions and relationships, which in one sense they're complicated, but in another sense, they're not.

And they're always going to be kind of what they have been, even though we're in this weird period of things being inverted.

I think eventually things are going to return to some degree of normalcy, normality, normality, normality through maybe the existing system collapsing,

or maybe something else.

Maybe we actually somehow dig ourselves out of the trench, out of the whole out of the pit in Western civilization

And there's actually a pro and a con to that. The con is that there are a good number of Gen Z people who

don't want to take any risks at all. They have the weird sort of, I would say, version of neotony or fear of doing

anything or any kind of risk-taking behavior. And so if it's motivated by an irrational fear

of everything, then I would say it's not sensible on that basis to never drink a beer or never go to a bar or never try a cigarette or something like that.

But when we become addicted to those things, when they become habitual, then they begin to more and more take over.

And one thing you'll learn is that the fun that you have with alcohol, for example,
