You are their parent.

If you don't want them to be on social media, you're the parent.

Yeah.

It was so great.

Yeah.

Well, here's hoping, Fred.

Yeah.

Fred, congratulations on your success.

I hope you get your message out to way more people.

We're always delighted to have you on.

We're going to go to Substack, where we're going to ask you questions from our supporters.

But before we do, what's the one thing we're not talking about that we really should be?

Oh, I think it's a lot of things. I do think this is kind of a cliche thing to say now, but I do think therapy culture has replaced religion. And that's not a new thing to say. People have been saying that for a long time. So Christopher Lash was writing about that in the 70s. Frank Ferudy writes about it really well now.

But in recent years, since social media, I would say therapy culture has just escalated to the point where I think young women don't see it as a worldview. They just see that as kind of life. So they interpret everything through this therapeutic lens. So their lives, their relationships, their emotions. And I think it has elevated to the level of religion.

So you think of all the kind of characteristics of religion, we just mimic them with therapy culture. So instead of praying, we just repeat our positive affirmations. Instead of seeking salvation, you'll go on a healing journey. Instead of resisting temptation from the devil, you'll reframe your intrusive thoughts.
