And because one of the things I was thinking about is how testosterone plays a role in what it is to be a man. But if you look at the stats around testosterone, it appears to be declining. Yes.
And I say this in part as well because testosterone causes a certain set of behaviours.

You know, you asked me at the start, you said, what are the things that you want to do when you reach your marginal decade? And I gave you my answer. What's your answer to that? Now that you're a father and have, you're in a different season of life.
