Short Summary

  • Big Tech optimizes for profit by replacing real-world relationships with online rage and pornography, exacerbating a masculinity crisis.
  • The current generation of successful men owes a debt to actively mentor and invest in young men; empathy for struggling men is not a zero-sum game.

Description

NYU professor, co-host of the Pivot podcast, and bestselling author, Scott Galloway, joins Jordan Klepper to discuss his latest book, "Notes on Being a Man." Galloway explains how modern men are leaning into masculinity as a code, how our country's male role models don’t exemplify “protectors,” big tech’s ploy to sequester men from relationships, the value of being physically and emotionally involved in young men's lives, and how empathy towards men in crisis isn’t a zero-sum game. #DailyShow #ScottGalloway #Masculinity Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

This man knew he had 15 minutes, and decided to make every word count. Talk about a lecture, a therapy session, and a sales pitch all in one. Incredible

As a 36 year old, this is literally the first time.ive ever heard anyone mention the economic factor in romance. If we cant afford a place, a dinner, some time away, what do i have to offer for a stable relationship? How do you have relationships without substance?

The "it's not a zero sum game" is the most important thing to understand in my opinion! Let's recognize each other just as humans. ❤

45yo male teacher from Germany here. Divorced, caring and loving father of a son. Watched the video twice. It added perspectives and views I haven‘t thought of. Appreciated! Thank you, Scott, and thank the DS for having you.

At a time when our leaders can’t form a complete sentence, a Scott Galloway shows up and with precision enunciates our most glaring blind spots as well as the path to correction. May his warnings be heeded.

That's one thing I enjoy about Scott Galloway, he gets emotionally involved in his speeches. He means it and it's nice to see.
