What you’re describing would no doubt improve matters.

But fundamentally, we are shirking around a ground truth that the kind of things that stir in male biology aren’t terribly useful in today’s modern world; men biologically need to feel useful in their physicality, to have something to protect and something to provide for.

The terrifying slide towards all the bullshit hyper masculinity or Jordan Peterson style “self improvement” is all a reaction to the fact that, with where we are heading, many of those traits can’t find a natural home in how we’ve structured the world.

Where I live, well off (seen in global scale), white, westerner is the average. Would you prefer me to represent an opinion that doesn’t reflect what I observe in my surroundings?

The Nordics.

I live in Denmark at the minute.

Not at the minute no.

Or I live in a country with better cops than you?

In terms of delivering the highest proven outcomes for the broadest amount of people I’ve not seen evidence that anything beats a well regulated market. If new evidence is presented I shall gladly revise my opinion.

I’m a pleasant human but find myself often downvoted for what I consider an average social democratic view; taking the viewpoint that, in my country, cops are generally trustworthy, the market works when regulated by a well functioning democracy and it’s ok to be wealthy, but expect to be properly taxed.

Why do you think the super wealthy are so keen on robots and AI? When even the police officers can’t “have had enough” there is no rebellion possible, ever again.

It’s all getting worse and I can’t see any way to stop it.
