Canon
•
Galloway cites the Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic report and his own data: 1 in 5 men has no close friends (up from 1 in 20 in 1990). Male loneliness correlates with substance abuse, radicalization, violence, and early death. The relationship deficit is literally killing young men.
Highlights
•
The young men crisis is real, measurable, and getting worse — and ignoring it feeds radicalization
Galloway presents data: men now earn 40% of college degrees (down from 60% in 1970), young men's inflation-adjusted income has declined 30% since 1990, male loneliness has tripled, and men under 30 are more likely to be radicalized online than to attend college.Was this useful?
