So now when a woman says, hey, if a guy goes to a bar every night and has meaningless sex, why can't I as well?

Then it shouldn't take a fancy psychologist to tell you she will wake up when she's 47 feeling unhappy at having internalized those principles.

Because there are many things that men and women are identical on, but there are many things that men and women are perfectly different on.

And what explains those differences is evolutionary psychology.

And so in my view, what explains the rather sharp decline in women's happiness, at least in a Western context, in the United States context, stems from having internalized those idiotic ideas.

Very interesting.

Very good question.

So the classic study shows that up to a certain point, happiness and income are linked.

Beyond that point, it adds nothing to your happiness.

Okay.

Which makes sense, right?

If every day I'm not sure whether I'll be able to put enough calories in my children's bodies, then it's kind of difficult to balance.

pursue self-actualization through reading and going to museums.

But once I've reached a certain level and as a matter of fact, I tested this theory with

the richest person who's ever existed on earth.

His name is Elon Musk, who happens to be a friend of mine.

And we had a chat on my show, it was an X Spaces, where I asked him exactly that question.

And not surprisingly, he answered, I mean, that Elon Musk is worth $400 billion today,

does not make him several hundred billion times happier than someone else who may have a great marriage, a great wife, wonderful kids, and a wealthy person might not have those things.

So up to a point, it's fine.
