Warned against
"Now we have things like AI chatbots, which I talk about in Sextinction, also pornography — it creates this entire ecosystem that I think is a hall of mirrors and offers these potential replacements for in-person sex or in-person connection that doesn't really fulfill us, but gives this perception of fulfillment."
"Dating apps — it's not really in their best interest to have everyone find someone and end up happily married and never need to use that technology again. When we outsource our personal lives, and especially things like emotional intimacy and sexual intimacy, to these platforms that are not necessarily looking out for our best interests, that can be potentially very unhelpful and frustrating to people. Nowadays a lot of people are experiencing dating app burnout."
"The whole trend of looksmaxxing is based on this erroneous idea that young boys need to look like a super hyper alpha masculine gigachad guy, when most women don't really care that much about what a guy looks like."
"The vast majority of men who are not as successful have basically been shut out of the dating market. So now they're going down the route of these other replacements like the chatbots, the sex robots and sex dolls, pornography. And instead of society recognizing that there's a problem here, it's saying okay, we're just going to give you guys quote solutions."
"Social media has really affected self-esteem and body image, both boys and girls — body dysmorphia, muscle dysmorphia in young boys, plastic surgery in young girls. And then there's this hostility that I see fomented by online content."
