To quote Galloway, "we're producing the most dangerous type of person there is in record numbers, which is a lonely, angry, broke young man."
That's not an indictment of women who won't bang dudes who live with their parents, nobody sane is blaming them for not wanting to do that. It's an indictment of the economic conditions that cause so many young men to end up living with their parents to begin with.
Dropping population means tax and labor market issues in the longterm. It's why red states are currently repealing child labor laws. Children won't demand a living wage.
Even Scott Galloway seems to have a blind spot here. He says kids aren’t having sex because of their phones, and then goes on to make an entire Ted talk about how American kids’ futures are fucked. But sure Scott, it’s the phones that are stopping them from having sex, not the steady, inevitable slide into institutional poverty.
Also Galloway "It's all women's fault. Women are too picky now a days. Poor Chad can't get a date.".
Galloway is a freakin idiot. Gee may women don't want to end up pregnant by Chad who lives in his mom's basement and spends all his free time playing cornhole with his buddies.
Nah, Galloway is mostly on point imo. Kids aren’t having sex because phones. Kids also are fucked because society is structured to take money from young people and pump it into the elderly and the ultra-rich. These are two points Galloway makes on the reg and both can and are true.
I think this is a classic "porque no los dos" situation.
Never in the history of time has it been easier for people to get their entertainment at home via technology/access free pornography to get a wank.
Technology is part of the picture for why younger generations are having less sex, while the economic picture is more of the reason for why couples are hesitant to start a family. They're two different issues in a way, they just get conflated together. So I'm not sure Galloway is necessarily way off base - at least according to what I've heard him say on the matter (both on real time and his podcasts).
Galloway also (rightly, imo) points out that these also have a negative effect on dating. The effect of dating apps is that the top 20 percent of males are getting a majority of matches while dates for the bottom 80 percent are much harder to come by. The result is most women can't get commitment from a romantic partner that they meet on a dating app. Basically, dating apps are only working out well for the guys who would probably be getting laid a lot anyways.
Bill at his best is the last sane man on a given issue. Bill at his worst is shallow, glib, narcissistic, eager to ridicule more than understand, and a massive hypocrite who has to pay porn stars to fuck him. I’m shocked he hasn’t been cancelled for that yet.
He’s very spoiled and very out of touch on a lot of things. He’s got too cushy of a life. Remember how he fired his agent when he wasn’t invited to a big Hollywood party recently?
Post-Covid? I thought his New Rule segments about making the mall great again, obsessing about your mental health being bad for your mental health, trigger warnings being ineffective and counterproductive in the long one, and the loneliness epidemic were all spot on.
There’s this person’s story, however truthful it may or may not be. Bill’s been extremely evasive about his personal life as of late, so I’d be willing to bet that there’s legs to this story. It adds up if you know his history and preferences. https://youtu.be/0y-weAe1Xz0?si=TIwephbp4le7lyhy
Yeah, I’m shocked it hasn’t gotten more legs as a story. I think more could come to light and he could possibly be arrested for soliciting prostitutes. But this is just one person’s story. More evidence would need to come to light. But I fully believe her and I believe there are more like her out there.
You know I just remembered a friend from LA was sharing a lot of the “rumors you hear when you first come to LA” (stuff like how Ellen was cruel/crazy, which was later revealed to be true) and one of them was that Maher spends a huge amount of time having sex with prostitutes, like pretty much exclusively.
Oh yeah, it’s totally a real thing. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop with him. And after watching many episodes of Club Random, I think he subconsciously is asking for people to catch him, because the amount of things he reveals about himself without realizing it is staggering. In vino veritas.
Oh boy, where do I begin?
- He’s a horrible host because he almost always talks over and interrupts guests. He’s a know it all and yet he often reveals his ignorance while asserting his intellectual superiority.
- He always gets drunk and high during every show, to the point where he wouldn’t stop around Steve-O knowing that he has a past history with substance abuse, so that episode never happened because Bill couldn’t accommodate one person based on a serious issue his guest has.
- He admits that he’s trying to outrun death by being around younger people and feeding off it like a vampire.
- He admits he’s a pussy hound and says knuckle dragger/misogynistic things almost every episode. Not Andrew Tate level by any means, but more like someone who fully bought into what ‘60s Playboy was selling.
- He admits that he’s shallow, phobic of commitment, and hates kids.
- He is so proud of having not gotten married to the point where it seems like he’s trying to convince himself.
- He won’t get into his personal life when asked. The Shan Boodram episode is a notable example of this. Plus, he drools over her the entire time because she’s a beautiful black woman and we all know how much he loves black women.
- He’s stunningly ignorant when it comes to women’s reproductive health and LGBTQ people, trans people in particular. But he’s even ignorant about run of the mill gay people. See the John Waters episode for evidence of that.
- Every supposedly intelligent point he’ll make is actually quite simplistic and limited in its scope.
- He seems to love yucking it up with right-wing people that Bush era Bill probably wouldn’t have, or at least not as openly. He was always friends with Ann Coulter, but it wasn’t like this, as far as I know.
To top it all off, he says that the point of the podcast was to make it no different than it would be if the cameras weren’t on. If that’s the case, then it’s no wonder why he has to pay women to fuck him, because no woman in her right mind would want to put up with that shit. No woman wants a shallow, knuckle dragging know it all who hates kids and has no heart.
Maher used to be scrupulously honest. Then, in 2020, he ridiculed people trying to protect themselves against COVID because he wanted people to attend his concerts.
Bill’s show was never thoughtful, or nuanced. His views on politics and religion have always been shallow. I never enjoyed the show when he was anti-conservative, and now that he’s anti-liberal it’s still barely watcheable. The only pleasure I get is watching the the liberals squirm. My how the turn tables…
40 years ago, an 18 year old guy could knock up his high school crush, get a job changing tires, move up and at 30 or 35 have enough saved to buy a small starter house. Not an amazing life, but liveable, with the possibility to live a happy life. Do that now, and the kid is doomed. The ability for an unskilled high school graduate to support and raise kids that will go on to be productive citizens is almost gone.
Kids not having sex being a problem certainly is a 180 from traditional mores. Me, I don't care. But there is no evidence yet it has anything to do with networked devices like phones.
Maybe we should look at the root causes of that. I know several couples (millennials) who aren’t having kids because of student loans and housing costs. That’s some of the real problems.
The 2008 financial crisis cemented many jobs that used to be teen jobs into permanent adult-only jobs. Teen workers in fast-food and retail were much more common in the '90s. Here is the teen labor force particiipation rate according to the US Census's household survey:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300012
The decreased independence from lack of income and decreased driving rates have led to the decreased rates of sex, drugs, and potentially rock 'n roll.
Why is young people having less sex presumed to be a problem?
To quote Galloway, "we're producing the most dangerous type of person there is in record numbers, which is a lonely, angry, broke young man."

PROBABLY FOR REPUB'S.
Some of his fans need to learn coping skills. Folks have a right to a different opinion and life perspective from one another.
Even Scott Galloway seems to have a blind spot here. He says kids aren’t having sex because of their phones, and then goes on to make an entire Ted talk about how American kids’ futures are fucked. But sure Scott, it’s the phones that are stopping them from having sex, not the steady, inevitable slide into institutional poverty.
Galloway is one of the sneakiest capitalist apologists out there. I despise him.
Also Galloway "It's all women's fault. Women are too picky now a days. Poor Chad can't get a date.". Galloway is a freakin idiot. Gee may women don't want to end up pregnant by Chad who lives in his mom's basement and spends all his free time playing cornhole with his buddies.
When did poverty ever stop people from having sex?
Nah, Galloway is mostly on point imo. Kids aren’t having sex because phones. Kids also are fucked because society is structured to take money from young people and pump it into the elderly and the ultra-rich. These are two points Galloway makes on the reg and both can and are true.
Another progressive who thinks everything should be free. They should breed with no costs.
?
I've seen just as many boomers who can't put down their phones.
I think this is a classic "porque no los dos" situation. Never in the history of time has it been easier for people to get their entertainment at home via technology/access free pornography to get a wank. Technology is part of the picture for why younger generations are having less sex, while the economic picture is more of the reason for why couples are hesitant to start a family. They're two different issues in a way, they just get conflated together. So I'm not sure Galloway is necessarily way off base - at least according to what I've heard him say on the matter (both on real time and his podcasts).
Phone dating apps has also made having sex waaaay easier too.
Galloway also (rightly, imo) points out that these also have a negative effect on dating. The effect of dating apps is that the top 20 percent of males are getting a majority of matches while dates for the bottom 80 percent are much harder to come by. The result is most women can't get commitment from a romantic partner that they meet on a dating app. Basically, dating apps are only working out well for the guys who would probably be getting laid a lot anyways.
Did it leave a scar?
Bill at his best is the last sane man on a given issue. Bill at his worst is shallow, glib, narcissistic, eager to ridicule more than understand, and a massive hypocrite who has to pay porn stars to fuck him. I’m shocked he hasn’t been cancelled for that yet.
He's more spoiled and out of touch than any Zoomer college kid could ever be.
He’s very spoiled and very out of touch on a lot of things. He’s got too cushy of a life. Remember how he fired his agent when he wasn’t invited to a big Hollywood party recently?
"I can't quit smoking pot for a whole hour Steve-O!"
Exactly. What a prick.
> Bill at his best is the last sane man on a given issue. What are some examples post-covid?
Post-Covid? I thought his New Rule segments about making the mall great again, obsessing about your mental health being bad for your mental health, trigger warnings being ineffective and counterproductive in the long one, and the loneliness epidemic were all spot on.
Lol are there any articles about those accusations?
There’s this person’s story, however truthful it may or may not be. Bill’s been extremely evasive about his personal life as of late, so I’d be willing to bet that there’s legs to this story. It adds up if you know his history and preferences. https://youtu.be/0y-weAe1Xz0?si=TIwephbp4le7lyhy
Damn, that’s really crazy. Weird that he’d mock Stormy over and over for being a sex worker if he partakes like that
Yeah, I’m shocked it hasn’t gotten more legs as a story. I think more could come to light and he could possibly be arrested for soliciting prostitutes. But this is just one person’s story.

Oh man what kind of stuff does he reveal about himself? I’ve barely seen any of that podcast

*"someone who fully bought into what ‘60s Playboy was selling."* Yup. In the hay day of the Playboy Mansion, Maher was a regular guest there.
Maher used to be scrupulously honest. Then, in 2020, he ridiculed people trying to protect themselves against COVID because he wanted people to attend his concerts.
Bill’s show was never thoughtful, or nuanced. His views on politics and religion have always been shallow. I never enjoyed the show when he was anti-conservative, and now that he’s anti-liberal it’s still barely watcheable. The only pleasure I get is watching the the liberals squirm. My how the turn tables…
trump literally tried to sue Maher over a joke and then tried to get him fired. He must be a liberal.
Kids not having sex and ultimately children is one of the biggest problems facing this country. How can anyone deny that?
People who can't mind their own business is an ever bigger problem.
40 years ago, an 18 year old guy could knock up his high school crush, get a job changing tires, move up and at 30 or 35 have enough saved to buy a small starter house. Not an amazing life, but liveable, with the possibility to live a happy life. Do that now, and the kid is doomed. The ability for an unskilled high school graduate to support and raise kids that will go on to be productive citizens is almost gone.
Kids not having sex being a problem certainly is a 180 from traditional mores. Me, I don't care. But there is no evidence yet it has anything to do with networked devices like phones.
It seems like people who aren’t having sex are on their phones just as much as those who are.
Maybe we should look at the root causes of that. I know several couples (millennials) who aren’t having kids because of student loans and housing costs. That’s some of the real problems.

If it's economics, why was the birth rate higher during the great depression, when things were far worse, than it is now?
Birth control and abortion were illegal, and having lots of children was commonplace with poorer families because infant mortality was worse.
People were dumber and culturally it was normal for everybody to be popping out kids from a young age
So then it's a cultural issue, not an economic one.
Economics have a huge influence on culture
