Doctor Mike

Yeah, you do.

You do.

I don't want this to be true.

I don't want this to be true.

I would like to be like, Mike, no, no, there's no difference.

But, you know, the data to the data.

This is John Haidt's data.

Okay.

John Haidt's data, or Brad Wilcox, actually, at University of Virginia, who's a phenomenal quantitative sociologist, does this stuff, too.

So if you break down by sort of gender and politics, so female left, female right, male left, male right, female left, by far the unhappiest.

And female right, by far the happiest.

And men are in the middle.

And so what you see is from happy to unhappiest is conservative women, conservative men, liberal men, liberal women.

Or has it been tested in some way?

That's a huge area of speculation.

And there's no way to actually to explain that completely, except what you find is that conservative women, they tend to be more religious and religion, actually people who are more religious, they tend to be happier.

That's one thing.

Another thing is that for whatever reason, John Hyde has found that progressive women have really been victims in the mental health crisis in a disproportionate way.

So his data show that, if I'm getting this right, if I get this right, it'll show up in the notes for sure real fast.

But his stuff, if I remember correctly, white liberal women under 30, 56% have been diagnosed with at least one mood disorder, which is a lot.
