I am impressed by you.
Can you translate it into Korean
I want to watch your video constantly
I would say a lack of connection with others is a large reason why more people are depressed.
yep. layer onto that the covid fiasco and more importantly the ironic divisiveness of social media and it's no surprise the younger generation is struggling
We need more third places.
Winner vs losers
Or maybe depression is pushing people away from each other.
Lack of morals = lack of trust 🤷♂️
Its obviously complex and multifaceted. But Carl jung had a great quote which i think sits at the heart of it: 'a society has to live close to its nature to be functional'
Ultimately, we are moving away from our nature on so many levels. It's no surprise so many of us are mentally and spiritually struggling
Go live out in the woods then. Go on. Nobody is stopping you.
Stoicism also prescribes the same thing about living according to nature. One's own and in the greater sense.
Excellent comment.
I think this is important. I'm a biologist and I'm usually most at peace when I'm out in the wilderness looking for critters. It's a way for me to clear my mind, and I find it very therapeutic.
Yep, they all need more sunlight, exercise and face to face socializing. If more young people focused on getting more of these 3 they’d immediately feel better. It’s tragic as I’ll walk my dog on nice summer days and no kids or young people are outside! It’s so strange to me as my generation were always outside
I have 1 friend at the moment, and he’s also in pretty bad shape. We meet up once a week on the weekend. It’s hard meeting new people and forming new connections at 21, especially because I feel so behind the people around me. But progress is progress. 6 months ago I had no friends. No one to rely on. 1 for now is a huge step.
Get involved in activities, such as volunteering, clubs, religious communities, etc. You'll meet people along the way. Goodluck
Your early 20s are the best years to meet new people though. I’m not sure why you’d think 21 was too late.
Btw you don’t need many friends just a few good ones
I hear that. I moved to a different town after highschool. None of my previous friends life here. In seven years I've made no friends here. None. I've got a decent job, but everyone at work is significantly older than me. Plus, there's now a culture of not being able to talk to anyone at the gym, so I've never spoken to anyone there either.
21!!!! Your so young
@@freshtoast3879 Everyone always says this as if that helps, and maybe in a lot of instances it does, but I genuinely find I can't stomach most of these "locations". the simply are not in my sphere of interests, not to mention I don't mesh well with people I dont think.
None of us seem to be happy. No friends, no relationships and worked to the bone.
Get offline more. It’s skewing your outlook
And where do most people go? When most people live on the internet or work from home all day in our society@@brianmeen2158
People need, above all else, nature and community.
And regular exercise
I’ve honestly been so fucking lonely since about 2019. When the pandemic and lockdowns eased up in 2021, every social structure I had seemed to fall apart. I’ve lost so many people and important relationships in my life that I have no idea how to recover. It’s a genuinely scary prospect to consider, but I have no idea how to sort this out.
Join a community and slowly but surely invite them out one by one. Join a fitness class, church, volunteer group, social club, leisure sports team (like slow pitch softball or something) community college, etc. Get to know your peers in said new community enough to know if you want to invite them out for group activity such as lunch/a couple beers/cookout, whathaveyou. As you get to know the group you will also get to know the people you favor most. Invite this favored person out for one-on-one hangouts. keep repeating this cycle and you will soon have a new friend group that you know well and a new best friend if all is going well. This is how you make friends in adulthood.
Social media, too much screen time growing up, roles in relationships
I used to worry I'd end up alone, but I ended up with people that make me feel alone.
Where is my tribe?
This one doesn't need deep analysis to work out. Addiction to social media is a major factor. We don't understand fully what it does to young minds yet but we can clearly see the effects - depression and loneliness. As a member of the human species if you disconnect from real relationships you'll get lonely. SM can be addictive, addictions cause mental health problems.
Sadly, I am now clinically depressed because of my deep feelings of loneliness, even when I’m around friends or family.
It got to a point where I lost a friend due to it.
You should listen to stefan molyneux. Ignore the comments, just give it a shot
@basscataz Stefan's a good dude. He's done a lot of good work. They had to smear and censor/deplatform him from RUclips for the influence he had in 2016.
i'd recommend Sadhguru. watching him talk has helped enormously
I've been impressed with your views and manners. Really like the smaller clips. This is more bite sized and fits in my busy schedule.
Jordan Peterson helped me a lot too. It was difficult at first to work on my own shortcomings instead of blaming women for their double standards. That's the duality of epistemology.
1. Social media
Islam is the perfect solution
@@JustinYiseverywhere Sam Harris would disagree
What I get from this : instant gratification leads to an unstable identity, which leads to despair, anxiety, etc.
Loneliness is a normal emotion to feel, it's all how you deal with it. it's a wave, ride the wave, don't do anything drastic and wake up the next morning and tackle the day.
intelligent comment.
There's a difference between occasional loneliness and chronic loneliness. It's also normal to feel sad sometimes, but we have a name for someone who is chronically sad.
I wake up the next day and I'm still lonely. It doesn't stop me from fulfilling my responsibilities, but it hasn't gotten magically better.
Life is hell, and it is brutal, the sooner one accepts the better for your mental health ,more often than not let's say more then half the time of your life , you're gonna get hurt, suffer, be sad, be mad , be depressed , and all the negative emotions , as for the remaining balance you will be happy, and feel good, but it won't last, the pain and suffering gonna knock on your door sooner rather then later. I do not take life too seriously, no one gets out of it alive anyway.
@@budoshi1981 Replace "life" with "our current society" and you get my thumbs up.
People are depressed because of social media. It creates the illusion that you have community when you really don’t. You see the highlight reels and wonder, “why isn’t my life that exciting?”
People have lost the confidence and don’t know how to talk to people in person anymore. It’s really sad.
I think the answer to this is rather obvious when you zoom in at a micro level and examine this question practically. Let's look at a typical day's activities of sleeping, working, and recreation:
Sleeping: We have ruined our sleeping health. It could be chemicals in our food, working a night shift, blue light before bed, or whatever. Simply put, we are meant to be active during the day and sleep at night.
Working: Jobs are boring, underpaid, or a lot the times both. I don't have to throw any numbers at you for you to know inflation has been outpacing wages for decades. We simply aren't being paid enough despite our productivity skyrocketing. And then when you add in that a lot of jobs are either very boring, uninteresting, or highly stressful, it's no wonder why we wake up dread the next 9+ hours of our day. It used to be that yeah, a lot of entry level jobs (we're talking about young adults) were rough, but if you put in the time and effort, eventually you'll make it out to a well paying, decent job. That's gone.
Recreation: We are a social species that has slowly eroded our social institutions for quite some time now. People are spending more and more time home, alone, in bed, scrolling through "social" media or watching a fake world on TV. Our communities have gotten smaller and colder, and people generally are becoming less social. The internet and social media are a sharp double edge sword. Sure, we can have toilet paper arrive from Amazon in 12 hours, but we also have the lowest amount of friends in recorded history. Social media also destroys young people's confidence as you only ever see the "best" of other people's lives. You see that they bought a nice new car, but don't see they secretly can't afford it and are in massive debt. You see a group of popular girls at your high school take a selfie at a party you weren't invited to, without realizing all those people are miserable and fake.
We are in a dystopian nightmare, people just don't realize it yet.
I feel like getting delivered toiletpaper in 12 hours and having no social connection nowadays is more deeply connected than most people think. In my own life I realized that, the most time I get in contact with strangers is, when something technical is broken and the need arises to talk to people. There is simply no incentive in todays world to make the uncomfortable jump to talk to people because you never need anything from them, because you already own that machine xy that makes life comfortable. We dont rely on each other anymore because machines fill that need for other peoples help.
Not to brag, but the sings were very much there. In fact, to use Dredd and Cyberpunk as examples, our future/present was never as vividly clear and similarly represented in those pieces of media.
This is a typical case of "the writing is on the wall" and I would add 'in cowsized lettering'.
It is interesting to witness the sub-communities that arise in response to established ones, on that note. For instance, the girl boss narrative of the gen X and millennial generation has created an uprising response in gen Z and alpha for doing the opposite: women are reimagining the dream of homesteading, gardening, stay at home wiving. This predictable pendulum swing makes and keeps things interesting. They cause larger divides which leads to misunderstanding amongst cultural language. Another good example is someone deciding to have 0 social media (except RUclips i suppose) while someone else makes a living off of social media. Its 2 different worlds.
Wake up, smell the coffee. It’s hard everywhere, and it has always been. It much better than it used to be. Figure out what you want and take control of your life. The disciplined and organized ones usually do fine. And please, don’t forget to feed your soul, to experiment the beauty this life has to offer (art, art, and more art please!).
Nailed my depression and worded perfectly exactly how I feel.
Well let's think about this for a moment. Culture flipped Gender norms quite literally upside down. There was a Global Pandemic that the world handled poorly. Politics is now injected into almost every form of Media and Society at large and it's highly charged and polarized. Ya know if I wasn't in my 30s and instead was late teens early 20s that would be enough to through me for a loop a too.
yup 19 and not even 20 and my entire will power is snatched because i have to chose between helping my family in this economy and staying at my dead end job, or my family suffers immensely financially, and i use my 2% energy to finish school. its the absolute worse that i was full of life and love and am now just a shell waiting for forever peace.
@@shane1067You shouldn’t be the one supporting your parents. You’re supposed to be moving out and starting your own life. What’s wrong with them? Are they disabled or something?
@@ChickFenwick nothing is, i don’t have the privilege of having more then one parent so it’s singular, and my mom already works full time. it’s the cost of living right now not my family’s part, she makes way more then she did back then when we were stable lol.
Our government and our corporations have been making choices that are not healthy for our society. Corporations maximize for profit regardless of the unintended consequences.
@@ch-yq5yn yeah being hyper aware doesn’t help knowing that it’s all intentional lol. coming from somebody that thought they had infinite willpower
Very good clip. Healthy relationships are most definitely crucial to good health. Excellent clip.
This is just so gold right here.
When I was a kid, I would go pick raspberries in the summer. I believe children need work opportunities where they can contribute and gain a sense of their self worth.
For more, read Joel Salatin's "Folks, This Ain't Normal"
And Chris, if you could have him on, that would be amazing!
Interesting perspective. I'm inclined to agree.
I love Salatin ❤ great recommendation
One of the best bits of gold from Jordan Ah've ever heard. 🤘🤘Our identity isn't something we form solely in our heads, it's in our interactions with others ahnd the world around us.
For real!
I'm beyond lonely living in isolation, I left my apartment 4 times last year, and I am 28.
one of my fav pods. I listen/watch nearly every episode. Can't believe I just noticed this.... so, please don't take this the wrong way, BUT those chairs look uncomfortable as f. I think having an extremely comfortable seat/chair will be much appreciated by your guests and the added comfort will have compounding results
Unfortunately, the current loneliness epidemic is "death by a thousand cuts", it's not just these identity games, it's also a vast number of other factors that play into it, many technological and many social.
I was litterally contemplating that very notion yesterday XD.
What a pleasure to hear Jordan sharing his wisdom, thank you so much!
A child that is abandoned by society will burn it down to feel its warmth.
you can't say that with a pfp like that
@@Embassy_of_Jupiter Why? Because it's scary. Truth is Truth. Reality is Reality no matter who says it
But many children today expect to be coddled though. I remember growing up and my generation didn’t need constant praise nor did we seek out victimhood .. young people nowadays seem to need both of these things.
@@brianmeen2158 We are not talking about coddled.
We are talking about being abandoned. No friends, no relationship, attacking a man's reputation, and attacking him for being born a man. Divorce rape is robbing a man of much of want he earns and destroying his good name.
They laugh at his pain all over media and shame him for impossible & contradictory standards.
His nation and culture are being destroyed before his eyes and shame his race as they do it.
People go into war over less. This is not simple victimhood. This is evil.
@@brianmeen2158Things have gotten significantly worse since when you were young. Most have recognized how crippling inflation is and how home ownership is a pipedream for most. When my father was young, he worked for his dad, my grand father, doing trades work and bought a mustang before he was 20. That amount of purchasing power is inconceivable today. Things have to change, or what OP quoted will become a regularity.
5 years without a relationship and I never plan on getting into another relationship. Marriage is just lemons not worth the squeeze.
Try a female then matey,😁itll be easier
@@keastymatthew2407The child support I pay is not from adoption.
Impressive how deep he went: You mental health isn't depended on you. You can't be mentally healthy without long-term iterative games with different people. There's no difference between thinking about you and being miserable. You can't think about yourself in a positive way. What do you mean by "you"? You are not your desires. You are your multiple long-term relations with different people. People have reduced their identity (meaning of "you") to their short-term desires. If you keep thinking about this "you", you will be miserable.
So, the anxiety and despair experienced by young adults are linked to a cultural shift towards the wrong definition of "you": short-term gratification, and a lack of commitment to long-term relationships and responsibilities.
I am impressed by you.
Can you translate it into Korean
I want to watch your video constantly
34% of adults report feeling loneliness due to hypergamy and divorce rape.
Definitely divorced grape for men
Cry harder 😂
If you’re lonely or divorced, it’s for a reason.
Go back to the manoswamp Martin.
@@wyleecoyotee4252 Why should I? I can voice my opinion wherever I want..
@@ChickFenwick what reason?
Jordan is so intelligent ! He makes me want to go to college and get educated so I can speak like him with such intellect !
Most people are walking around like zombies staring at their phones. It's like we forgot and lost the skill/ability to connect with each other like normal human beings. Most of us in society even act afraid of eye contact with another human being, we don't even say "hi, how are you?" or even "good morning".
We've also become self-absorbed. We no longer care about others. Someone could literally collapse/get attacked in the street and most people wouldn't stop to help.
34% - - is that high?
Loneliness.... Isolate many young adults and they will feel lonely even if they have a bunch of friends.
Because you don't always end up hanging around with the right friends... You might get trapped in a group of friends you no longer have anything in common with.
How common is that?
Many more i would say don't know themselves very well at all as young adults.
How many people came out of university not knowing what to do?
How many of them went into the 1st job they found?
How many of them stayed there despite them not being very happy in it?
34% is remarkably low i would say.
And to add the thought of answering these questions on the spot... it's like trying to answer psychometric tests accurately.... between answering what you actually think/feel and what you think you SHOULD feel and what you think they are trying to find out in the test.
I would think it's much higher than 34% but then again... it has been like that for decades. I wouldn't put any particular emphasis on this.
How can you be expected to know what you want when you have so many outside influences..
Parents, schools, friends, career advisors, TV programs, the latest fads...
You go to school.. "ok what do you want to study... tell me now.. tell me quick, You're 13 you should know"
OK you're 18.. what now
Ok you're going to uni... what do you want to do
Ok now you've got your degree... what job do you want.
No breathers in between and virtually noone has really given a damn about what YOU want.... except maybe your mum.
Its hard for people to connect when their value and moral systems conflict so much with that of other peoplee
So what he's saying is that doing nothing but indulging into your immediate desires - to do nothing but what some part of you wants to do right now, at the expense of all other considerations - leads to despair, anxiety and hopelessness.
What you have to do to quell these feelings is to integrate yourself into broader society at least, and optimally to also establish an intimate relationship with another human being.
Social Media/Screen time and lack of decent living wages? Not hard to see
Because the world is going insane.
And Andrew Tate js the cure
@@JustinYiseverywhereugh, no.
He's someone offering a twisted version of a 'cure.'
@@JustinYiseverywherewait what? The Muslim loud mouth?
@@JustinYiseverywhere Tate is part of the problem.
@@JustinYiseverywhereHe is the insanity. He’s stark raving mad.
He’s right. He’s just right.
No matter which path you choose, there are negative consequences. Have a family, you will feel crushing pressure to perform. Stay single, you may feel lonely/lack if meaning. Pick your poison and learn to accept the positives/negatives.
When he is not ranting about elen page on twitter and chubby models, he is still a genius.
Spending excessive amounts of time on social media where people count on continual flattery from others to bolster self images ... is bound to result in disappointment ... if the flattery in the slightest bit wanes ... as it is prone to do.
If you don't accept your self as you are ... don't expect others to accept you as you are either.
ive spent a lot of time developing myself over building a relationship with someone
whether or not it pays off is irrelevant because it is within my nature to go this route
You two are great, as always.
As someone who felt a great deal of loneliness for the first 20+ years of my life I would say that it's something everyone needs to come to terms with. I think there's danger at both ends of the spectrum. Total isolation is of course a bad thing for mental health, but so is the hyper socialized world of social media that many kids live in today. My view is that both an active social life, and the interpersonal skills that go with it, and the ability to be happy or at least content when you're alone are skills that everyone needs.
I'm an introvert, so I like being alone more than most. Whether that's due to nature or nurture is a good question, I tend to think it's a bit of both. It took me a long time to develop decent social skills. My life would no doubt have gone better if I had learned those skills at an younger age. But ultimately I think everyone needs to be reasonably good at interacting with others and with being alone. The variable would be the exact ratio that works best for you.
I think the answer is fairly straight forward, you should get Johann Hari on the show, I think his book Lost Connections sums it up quite nice. Add some exercise and a no to low processed food diet and you have the recipe for decent life.
Married? No thank you, sir.
So when you got bullied at school before smart phones it stopped there
Now it follows you home
Also we gotta talk about how unhealthy young adults are legitimately the army can only take something like a quarter of high school students now that’s fucking ridiculous
Yes every time I go shopping I’m alarmed at how out of shape young people are. The grocery store I went to yesterday - the 3 cashiers were young women and they were all overweight by 20+ pounds. It’s sad
This is a fundamental part of human existence, like suffering. I’m surprised it’s only 34%
Ppl aren’t objects to be played with & our nature/purpose isn’t to consume all that we want whenever we want it & be perpetually instantly gratified. That’s not ultimately satisfying or sustainable. We were made for a purpose greater than ourselves & to be in service to others. We were made for deep, meaningful relationships. Working & striving for goals, failing & overcoming.. being bored once in a while instead of constantly stimulated .. taking time to process our thoughts & life.. being self aware & reflective then getting up & putting lessons into action. Like that’s life. Not the constant achievement grind or accumulation of money or sexual partners. It’s not about what we can get but what we can give. Being our best selves for the ppl we love. The internet has exacerbated identity crisis in young ppl in particular. They’re insecure, distracted & anxious. They live in a fantasy world then wonder why their life is falling apart. We aren’t meant to be bombarded w/every single thing that’s happening in the entire world all the time & everybody rises problems. We are meant to focus on our sphere of influence & pick one or 2 things we’re passionate about. But suddenly everyone has to have a position on everything & young ppl feel so heavy. No wonder they can’t focus on their own lives & what steps to take. Not saying they should be self focused.. just saying it would help if they’d get off socials & actually figure out their real life.
Social media. Shut it all down. Now
Rollo just made a new video. It was about you and what you had to say about vulnerability. I'm curious what you have to say back.
A lot of people have repeatedly been told that they are special, especially certain generations. The reality is that they are not. No one is special. A lot of young people are struggling because they have woken up to this and can’t quite process it.
He has speculated on the cause without knowing what any of the reported reasons are other than people feeling dirctionless and lept to marriage while implying that these young adults are not seeking longtrm rlationships. Young people are less promiscuous now, thwy drink less. His reasoning almost always sounds motivatd. Such a strange guy.
You mean men. Women still have the numbers on relationships... Somehow...🤔
Young man, are you feeling lonely? Hey, all you gotta do is get married!
The complete lack of comprehension Peterson has with regard to the 21st c. marriage issue almost supersedes his lack of understanding of climate change.... truly magnificent levels of boomer obtuseness.
For a community to exist youth must be raised within a community and community building mindset. (Assuming society is the desired result )
JP gets more intense as he gets older it seems. I do agree w/what he’s saying here but the way he explains it does seem rigid. Obviously he knows more about it than I do being a clinical psychologist. I mean there are outliers in every group but overall it does seem like young aimless ppl who avoid committed relationships.. romantic or otherwise are more depressed etc..
I think "avoid" is an interesting choice of words. Some people simply cannot get a committed relationship. It's not a matter of avoiding as it is a matter of going without.
"Rigid" is putting it mildly. His pedantic moralizing, his absurd generalizations, his rank hypocrisy, have become insufferable. No legitimate "clinical psychologist" would ever tell a patient, "if you don't get married, you can never be happy."
@@marcevan1141 Sure, but he's not in a clinical setting. He's giving a hot take on a podcast.
Hi. Generation X'er here. Yes, the ignored middle child generation lol. No one notices or listens to Gen X, and that's a feature not a bug. Gen X can hide, which is a good thing in this terrible society lol... but these younger generations are not MORE mentally ill. It's just as bad up here with the older folks AND most importantly, the older holks don't even think about healing. At least the younger generations are AWARE they have issues. We need to come together and society as a whole, THEN we can talk about a new healthy marriage paradigm that DOES NOT involve men being relegated to a man cave. Till then, no thanks. Happily single thank you. Blow Me Up Tom!!! Thanks Dad!
Very intersesting takiing of therapy and I agree for the most part. Thepary is a great tool, but that's all it is one tool in the tool belt. People go to thepary for years with little progress. I know personally thepary has actually hurt me (mostly due to poor thepartist. I recommened staying away from betterhelp or atleast use it with cation you can change therparist easily so do!). Thepary has it's own set of idealogies which I percive as very weird.
Therapy never worked for me either. Fire your therapist and hire a personal trainer.
Give being alone three years.
It takes about that long to become bulletproof emotionally.
1 outta 3 people i talk on the street gets scared of the interaction... Thought i was the prob
"Be yourself, everyone else is taken!" - Oscar Wilde
It's not only younger people
It's either being Lonely or being Tired. Take your pick.
LET'S BE REAL HERE: It's women who are more depressed, that' why there is such an up roar about it. It's like the loneliness epidemic, the only reason it's making headlines is because it's affecting women. The loneliness epidemic has been going on since the 60's. Elenore Rigby was a his song in 1966 and if Paul McCartney would have wrote about John Rigby it would have never made a hit song because no one gives a $hit about men's struggles in life.
Then why is the “loneliness crisis” always about men? The words “male crisis” and “loneliness crisis” are used synonymously. It’s males who are crying about the fall of Western civilization, etc, just because they’re so lonely and unaccomplished. Evolve and survive in the modern world. Or get left behind.
@@ChickFenwick Have to blame it on someone. Say all you want about men's struggles. "NO ONE CARES".
Lmao how did you turn the MALE loneliness epidemic to be about women
It is truly sad. They won't all get to be married to Chad. It is very sad indeed.
??? There are verses about men in "Eleanor Rigby."
Only 34%?
No, I won‘t get married.
Well, I guess I'm an anomaly. JP is speaking in a lot more absolutes than he used to.
He lost his senses. Everything he said here is wrong and biased, Jesus. No evidence was provided
But I guess he's always been extremely dogmatic
I am fan of Peterson but this isn't his finest moment, this was rambling
I love Jordan, but here . . . I don’t know . . .
I wonder what will happen in 10/20 years when all these lonely youngsters havnt settled down into a long term relationship, had kids etc? My son goes to college, hes 17, he has one good friend in his classs but thats it, they hang out at lunch at college but dont go out out any other time. My niece is 16 has no friends and doesn't go out at all.
Question: Why do I have to be married to achieve a sense of sanity, what is this nonsense?
It’s social media
I understand that we have to play by social media engagement standards, but maybe consider changing the thumbnails?
I swear I feel ashamed of sharing something that looks like clickbait on my social media, and I have actually gotten comments of people saying that they don't want to click on these types of videos because they look like it, and that is sad because there is no doubt that they share useful information and ideas.
When are thumbnails "too much" just for the sake of engagement that it actually turns counterproductive?
Sinister eyeballs are still looking at us from the drinks cans.....
Right now, young men are very reluctant to marry, because it’s too easy to get divorced.
As one divorce lawyer puts it: “marriage is temporary, but she will ALWAYS be your ex.”
If getting married in your 20s is the key to being sane, then we have widespread problems.
Jordan Peterson said this based on nothing.
I've had this theory for a while now... I think humans were happiest when they were living in small egalitarian medieval villages. I think that was the pinnacle for us. It's clear that modern society, especially since the advent of social media, creates a sick mind.
I doubt that midevil part. Life expectancy 35. Lost half your offspring. Plague.
But: RaCiSm
Life expectancy was 35 because of infant mortality. Plenty of people saw old age. Black death started mid 14th century.
Yeah. prior christianity and islam. I think that was when people were the most happy, being in tune with nature and not fighting their true self all the time.
@@Praenuntium lol egalitarian and medieval in the same sentence is hilarious. Too much anachronism here
🥺❤️🔥🚀
So you're telling me 66% of yourng people have never felt lonely ?
Now that's the alarming part as it signifies a lot of psychopaths.
Find it useful........😊
It's too hard to get a good job, decent place to live and a Gf. The powers that he need to nerf the content.
Whoever told you life was going to be easy lied to you .
@@brianmeen2158 Life is getting harder than it used to be. So we weren't lied to, per se, but instead given outdated information.
The main problem is we have a generation of men that have been told to work just to become equal with women. Equal meaning they lose. Jordan Peterson is 100% right about men being economically unattractive. It needs to change.
The bad part is people can get out of a relationship and writhing 3 hours feel lonely and get with someone else
Alot of times Jordan is just wrong and talks out of his butt. But once in awhile he makes very important and unique points that cannot be denied.
In the 1950s they built a lot of roads that segregated entire communities. “NotJustBikes” covers this, as well as “Strong Towns”.
people really should give world of warcraft a go. or any other online game which requires you to use discord.
Or any other hobby basically which you genuinely enjoy.
I've played Wow on and off since 09. It can be fun but it also can be a place to hide from problems in your real life that need addressing.
It is those in the schools of education who are causing most of the loneliness by working to cancel any student that should dare express an unapproved thought.
“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”
― Carl Gustav Jung
Get away from the teachers and professors, off the campus, to improve your mental health
Im a JP fan, but hes getting tired
If the left had any competency they would see how good of a role model JP is for young men
There are no genuine connections between humans. Community and sense of belonging is gone
Excelent! I am suffering the nightmares of a promiscuous women.
He could not be more wrong about having to be married. I was very unhappy married. I am much happier single and in charge of my life without having to deal with another person in my home and in my life day in and day out.
Yet, you took the diamond bribe. That was three of his paychecks. He likely kneeled ( grotesque display of neediness ), likely paid for a good bit of your Special Day and the beach trip afterwards. You got to live in a house for awhile, hopefully fulfilled your biological imperative, kept the kids as permanent love objects, and maybe the house. He kept your car running because you don't understand car fluids, and no other man sexually assaulted you while under his protection. I'm sure he was a miserable husband, but WHY do You get do-overs? Maybe don't lead men on you don't like or respect for the Life Perks.
He's pretty much wrong about almost everything. He's an unhinged, self-promoting charlatan.

She isn't intense. Common, all too common. I, however, am lightning in the shape of a man.
I gave up on this.
No having one night stands doesnt make you a psychopath. Most men eventually gravitate towards long term relationships eventually.
Jordan has that Kira yoshikage drip
Did they distinguish loneliness from chronic-loneliness or depression?
Loneliness in an of itself isn't necessarily bad.
You need something to give other feelings more note. If you're always happy, you're never happy.
This was difficult for me to comprehend. I mean, I've been playing dumb pussy games, but I also really do care about people around me. Maybe Im so damaged that I can't see it, but I try my best to be kind and my biggest dream is to have a functional family, a loving one, for myself. I never grew up that way so I don't know how to and I've been reckless with sex and porn. I don't think I am any of the terms Jordan said, though. I've gotten so insanely mad a girls I've fucked over the same type of things, but I still fucked. You know? So yeah it's difficult to really understand.
You're actively damaging these girls and yourself with your actions. How can you expect a healthy and functional family for yourself when you're engaging in these activities?
There's no road map for us. We're so doomed, and the boomers are at a total loss. Romance has been murdered. From 2019 to 2023, we went from sad to hopeless.
People need to stop being doomer and start going outside. Delete your dating apps and join a hiking club or something. It’s really not that hard.
@@ChickFenwickbut it is that hard for these young people. I’m trying to understand their mindset - it’s like a strange type of learned helplessness. They don’t want to put much effort into anything - they won’t risk discomfort - they sit around and binge watch doomer content - don’t socialize or exercise - then they wonder why they are lonely and unhappy . .. it’s so strange to view from the outside . I don’t get it
@@ChickFenwickI work outside, with the public
I workout
I hike.
Currently have 14 plus kilometres on my smartwatch for the day and that's low for me. These things don't magically lead to success, especially with dating, like you think they do. I've tried talking to girls in public, and it's never went well for me once. I tried the dating apps and couldn't get a match, so I deleted them. From my point of view, as one of the loathsome and detestable of society, it's not that we don't try... But that we do and get bad/no results. Things aren't like how they used to be. It's time to wake up and face that things have changed and boomer-esque "pull yourself up by your boot straps" downtalk won't work on us.
@@Albus_Rex btw if you don’t think self action is going to work
Then what will? Do you expect society to completely change in order for women to date you? If so, change what exactly? I for the life of me don’t understand the black pill mindset .. there are many average men out there that have gfs or are married or hooking up .
I'm my personal life, 2019 was the culmination of all previous hells into an UberHell. 2023 put the cherry on top of the shit sundae.
Just make sure that Harvard study wasn’t plagiarized as well. Just in case 😁
Give it another decade and we’ll have that personal AI Elon talked about that will know us better than our own family members
Wait.... So all mosquitoes are phycopaths?
They'd have to be to fly in my airspace.
Seed oils, gm grain, hyperprocessed foods, toxic broccoli... that's what the problem is. Eat only meat for 30 days & see if your mood doesn't clear up. You won't regret trying & may want to continue. What have you got to lose?
I’ve been thinking of doing the carnivore diet. I’ve lost about 100lbs from fasting but haven’t tried carnivore yet. Still have about 30lbs to lose but became super depressed. Have you noticed any other benefits of carnivore besides better mood?
Only meat sounds absolutely gross. You know the have poisoned the meat too right?
Toxic broccoli
Well, I would be losing my veganism.
