Was it just a timing thing?

So there's a great question here from Brett McCall.

So during this talk, there are an overwhelming number of points that are all delivered in an easy-to-understand way.

That's true, by the way.

I don't know of a talk where there's been such density of...

points of facts that connect are really remarkable.

Anyway, he says, it leaves me charged with the desire to join, quote, the movement and make change.

It's almost like a full semester worth of issues that could be movements, but there isn't an explicit community or movement to join.

Scott, where would you suggest the starting place for someone who becomes inspired by your talk?

Politicians assume that that's an unelectable slate and maybe they're underestimating the intelligence of their citizens.

You've spent a lot of time giving advice, especially for young men.

Do you think that the problem has been especially bad for them for some reason or that a disproportionate share of the solution will be found by fixing the problems that young men are facing right now?

I will say that you rant better than anyone I know.

I mean, I really, just as someone who's hosted a lot of TED Talks, I was stunned by how this one went.

Like many, many speaker coaches looking at you would say, oh, it's very monotone.

It's very, you know, where's the, you know, you just sort of, it just unwraps in a very sort of flat voice initially.

But every word is so carefully chosen and

and follows so consequentially to what's just gone before that you tap into a different part of people's brains.

The most talks do, I think like you, people go, yes, you know, that makes sense.

That makes sense.
