In today’s episode, Richard Reeves is here to talk about the complex dynamics that have left many men struggling in various aspects of life. Richard Reeves is an author who was named one of the top 50 thinkers in the US for his work on class and inequality, is a leading thought disruptor in masculinity, and he is the founder and president of the American Institute for Boys and Men. This episode uncovers how systemic neglect, cultural shifts, and educational disparities are impacting men, everything from population collapse to sex robots! We touch on: - Why boys are falling behind in every stage of education, from pre-K to post-grad- The reasons behind stagnating male wages and declining employment rates- How transformations in family structures are leaving men uncertain about their roles in 2024- The unintended consequences of policies like Title IX on men and boys- What needs to change to redefine masculinity and create a positive vision for men’s roles in societyWhether you’re concerned about the future of education, the economy, or societal roles, this conversation uncovers how systemic neglect, cultural shifts, and educational disparities are impacting men and the world around us.CHAPTER MARKERS:[0:00] Setting up men for failure [21:57] The decline in male participation[50:55] The importance of representation[1:28:15] Men vs. the system [1:45:51] Sex robots replace men [2:09:53] Fantasy novels & male responsibility POWERFUL QUOTES FROM Richard Reeves:"I think there's been this dangerous trend in some quarters to say that somehow for women to rise and to expand, men need to fall or to contract. But men need to become less in order for women to become more.""We need to start worrying more about the men. We need to start thinking about men as the ones who need more help. And unfortunately, for a generation who are raised in the world where all the attention needed to go to women and girls, it's incredibly hard to update your priors.""An MTV show can be much more powerful in shifting a narrative about the pros and cons of becoming pregnant as a teenager than any amount of government policy, or government, certainly government lecturing on it, which tends to fall on kind of deaf ears.""And if you've baked into your definition of equity that it can't possibly include men, then you've just revealed your hand and you've shown that your agenda is not being driven by evidence as being driven by ideology."Follow Richard Reeves:Website: richardvreeves.comAmerican Institute for Boys and Men: aibm.orgX: https://x.com/RichardvReeves Follow Me, Tom Bilyeu: Website: impacttheoryuniversity.com X: twitter.com/TomBilyeuInstagram: instagram.com/tombilyeuIf you want to dive deeper into my content, search through every episode, find specific topics I've covered, and ask me questions.

This conversation scrutinizes the multifaceted dynamics that threaten the very core of Western civilization as we know it.**Sam Harris** opens with a powerful critique of how democracy, capitalism, and political freedom, while historically successful engines of wealth and creativity, are now under siege from ideological and religious movements exploiting our values of tolerance and self-criticism. He passionately argues against the insidious influence of stealth Islamist groups and the unsettling silence of the educated elite.**Konstantin Kisin** expands on this by emphasizing the uniqueness of individual rights in the West. He contrasts it with the autocratic controls in Russia and China, shedding light on how incentive structures in free societies foster technological and cultural progress.

What do I mean by that? Compassion, empathy, generosity, kindness, magnanimity. Each of those traits that I just listed are viewed as laudable virtues. In the west, what the Middle Eastern mind reads, it is weakness, weakness, weakness, weakness and weakness.""There is no pathway for Donald Trump to ever be dictator. That's the beauty of the American system.""I can link pretty much every single public policy disaster that you could think of to the misfiring of empathy.""The stochasticity of life is oftentimes the thing that stops that prescriptive foolproof thing from working.""And that's why the parasitic mind became the success that it did, because it aptly and accurately and poignantly captures what happens to human brains when they are prone to ideological raptor.""If I'm a caustic atheist and you're an avowed Catholic, notwithstanding the lovely mantra of love will conquer all, we're starting off on the wrong statistical foot and that statistically, we're not putting all the bet in our favor.""Does the Quran and the Hadith have a lot of Jew hatred in them?

So the more you achieve in that door, other people see it. Other people see it.""Become truly self aware. And when I say that, what I mean is for your whole life, you're influenced by your parents, your family, your community, your culture, wherever you grew up. And we're all influenced by all these things and all these things. And people also tell us what you should do and what you should want to. And so I think it's important to take a pause and think about what your actual priorities are and be truly, truly honest about this.""I think that one mistake we're making, particularly in the modern west, is being very quick to throw away old ideas sometimes just because they're old, and embrace new ideas just because they're new, which is not very intelligent.""If you went out and you managed to convince a significant chunk of the population that one plus one doesn't equal two, but in fact equals three, then you've now broken mathematics. Downstream from that, you've broken computer science, you have broken technology, you've broken engineering.""In that meantime, while we are here on this earthly realm, what do you do with that? How do you spend your time? How do you spend your resources, your energy, your time? What do you prioritize?""I think that just believing, hey, I'm just a good person and I'm just inherently good, and I don't, you know, I don't do bad. I think. I think it's a bit of a dangerous position because then when stuff goes sideways, when stuff hits the fan, you don't really have those boundaries.""And as long as they can agree, hey, we can fight with words. We can argue, we can debate whatever. I'm not going to take your stuff, and I'm not going to physically hurt you, I'm not going to hurt your family, I'm not going to damage your property, I'm not going to."Follow ZUBY:Website: teamzuby.comX: https://x.com/ZubyMusicYouTube: youtube.com/@ZubyMusic Follow Me, Tom Bilyeu: Website: impacttheoryuniversity.com X: twitter.com/TomBilyeuInstagram: instagram.com/tombilyeuIf you want to dive deeper into my content, search through every episode, find specific topics I've covered, and ask me questions.
