It drives men to want to be better.

But we've created a political system that is making it increasingly hard for certain forms of fundamental male behavior actually ever to be expressed.

I mean, the book is a follow-on actually from a Tucker Carlson documentary that I was in in 2022.

So this is another reason why I really, really kind of sprang to prominence is because I featured in this Tucker Carlson documentary called The End of Men.

I was pretty much the main star along with RFK Jr.

about testosterone decline and about the causes of testosterone decline, things like

exposure to pesticides, sedentary lifestyles, obesity, all that kind of stuff.

But it was also about the political implications of testosterone decline on a civilizational level.

And testosterone is declining on a civilizational level.

Studies like the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, for example, which took place from the late 80s into the early 2000s in the Boston area, that showed that on average, year on year, male testosterone levels are declining by 1%.

Now, that might not sound like a lot, but look, 25 years, that's a decline of a quarter.

50 years, that's a decline of half.

You know, what's going to happen in 100 years?

Are men going to have any testosterone at all?

And the thing is, you know,

Testosterone isn't the only thing that makes men masculine.

But it's a very, very important part of the equation.

And it's something that's generally neglected, I think, in this quite broad literature on the kind of crisis of masculinity, if you will.

So Jordan Peterson talks about it.
