we are social human beings, interdependent, we all need our tribe, strong family foundations, fathers present, mothers present, and solid moral constitutions....and countries and societies must stop throwing their elderly under the bus...everyone, if they live long enough will be elderly too...

I was doing our family tree years ago and thinking in the future family trees will be unbelievably complex. So many people with siblings with different dads and unknown dads and half siblings. It's crazy

As someone who lived through it in the 60s 70s and so on, I agree with her 100%.

Small comment. I can remember the mystery of a Women as a young Man. Fifty years ago holding hands made the heart beat rage. Now an eight year old can see things on there phone that would have confused and scared me as a young boy. I feel heartsick for the children now.

Missing Dads: From The Boy Crisis, I bought the Kindle version, they have a search function. Quote: "44.​Among youths in prisons, 85 percent grew up in a fatherless home. Prisons are basically centers for dad-deprived young men." 🎯 Farrell, PhD, Warren; Gray, PhD, John. The Boy Crisis (p. 406). BenBella Books, Inc.. Kindle Edition.

The problem started with the shift from a focus and citizenship to a focus on ones-self. When you focus on your own happiness, you may get some short term gains but you lose the future.

God said from the very beginning, “It is not good for the man to be alone…” Isolated young men, young or old, is never a good thing and has produced some of the most horrific violent tragedies in our history. We can start there.

You've untangled so many truths in that presentation Mary, I feel like I'm in a complex maze with several start points. It has opened views of life from several new unclouded positions.

The main things that ruined the family, societies, culture are the following. 1. The Pill ( Replacement of population has failed) 2. Social payments for not working. ( for many this is the norm to expect without working) 3. Abortion on demand (over 30,000,000 in America alone) 4. STDs. Now these are getting harder to treat. 5. Men have lost so many family rights and have been victimised by the systems. All of the above have been arranged and engineered to destroy the family unit.

You were right on every single point. It needed to be said and you said it powerfully. Thank you.

This was a incredibly accurate interview. Thank you.

Women were encouraged to work to increase the gdp, but it made everyone poorer as a result.

Social engineers should take a lesson from mechanical engineers: "Before you go changing an existing design, ask yourself why it was done that way in the first place." While progress depends on change, sometimes an existing design that seems overly complex might actually still be the best way to get results. Families and marriage were devised by societies all throughout history for a reason you know.

How can you debate people (leftists) who just change the definition of words when it suits them.

Living in Africa is good for the elderly. We are considered wise, ( true), and are revered, so very well- treated. But then Africans are warm-hearted and have time for people. It is a gift to be brought up among them.

Thank you for bravely and plainly enunciating root causes here. Much alienation has come out of aggressive movements reflexively opposing one another. I have lived through these decades, and remember what was boldly proclaimed. The thoughtful, engaged of this generation are searching for connection and purpose and some among them realise progressivism failed in the past catastrophically. We are helped by remembering there is nothing new under the sun, to be careful students of history and that it's the Bible, when honestly read, which shows us, among other things, how to reason together. Thank you for so many well conducted, respectful and considered interviews. Much appreciated.

Social welfare was the great disruptor enabling single parenting, family independence.

100% correct. Thank you.

We have achieved a false freedom, the young see only in a very clouded mirror.

We should value differences, not pretend they don't exist.

One antidote for loneliness is to be a member of a loving church fellowship.

Remember who brought in the no fault divorce laws???

Being from a family oriented culture, I agree with her 100%. What is most painful is that now even cultures like mine are starting to emulate the same trends as media makes us believe the west is God. Any refusal to listen to their version for truths is being seen as anti-progressive, conservative .

Intelligent young men are increasingly avoiding all women to avoid the drama and trouble. American culture has rendered most women undesirable. Many women are unhappy despite their 'liberated' status. Many women take antidepressants.

Highly relevant.

Getting married and having kids is very dangerous for men if the relationship fails for whatever reason.

Agreed!

Young people do not even know what they are ragging about

Also DATA is overwhelming , one parent family units make a child VULNERABLE to mental struggles ECT ECT.. ADDICTIONS from loneliness,alienation COMPLICATE Maturation evolution.... GREAT TOPIC GREAT DISCUSSION..ASUMTIONS NEED TO BE REVIEWED..

Right on - she’s 1000% right

All going according to their plan.

I am in the same boat at 72. Never had a family due to the rise of feminism . Women of my generation did not know what they wanted but it was always something other than what they had. I live in a foreign country. I lost all my friends here over Trump or vaccines and none of us are Americans. Lost my job. Extended family just don’t communicate. Don’t answer emails Then after weeks email asking why they haven’t heard from me. Won’t talk on the phone. Won’t do FaceTime calls even though we all have Apple devices. If I email back then again no answers . I might say “ Did you get my last email?”. No answer for weeks until I get an answer telling me about the dog or having dental surgery . If I write back asking if they are OK. No answer for weeks then no answer to my questions just something about somebody I don’t know that is meaningless to me. I say this about three relatives in Canada and long time friend of Over 35 years that does the same thing. It’s like I am trying to communicate with someone talking in their sleep. I just quit trying. I can’t call. In Canada no one answers their phone. They let an answering machine or equivalent do it. “ Leave a message and we’ll get back to you.” They don’t. Chances are they are sitting right next to the phone at least in the old days. Now it’s their smartphone set to screen calls that way so they can decided whether to answer or not. I stopped leaving messages. What if the message was “ I’m dying. Or Your house is burning down. “ Leave a message and we’ll get back to you.” That’s how you lose touch and give up.

This is what Russel Brand focuses on - local communities and villages have been wiped out.

By design

There is no satisfaction in life without _intimacy,.._ but all intimacy involves real authentic risk!!?

Perhaps moderation is the key to happiness

Marxism (destroying functional independent individuals, family & social institutions) & Fascism (economically, state run corporatism) never left, they merged.

Life is essentially a spiritual battle for your soul in eternity. This applies to all without exception. If you don't start from that point, then no real sense can be made of any of our current problems, and neither can any real solutions be found. We are all created by God to be with God in eternity. We are all sinners who need the sacrifice of the cross. If we don't have our existential value at the forefront of all we do, then that which is of little value becomes of high value, and vice versa. We essentially make gods out of the created. We have to treat each other as if we have infinite value, since all are the image of God, and then we all need to return to religion and subscribe to God's will for humanity, and practice it socially. It's almost pointless to accurately describe how the ship is sinking whilst not calling for any lifeboats. In a sense, everybody's life is a sinking ship, since everything that we are and acquire in life is steadily being taken from us. We need to give ourselves and each other more hope and more value than human philosophies can offer. What we are facing to today is essentially a profound existential crisis, of who we are and why we are, and what our ultimate purpose and worth is. If the transcendent and the divine is removed from society, it loses all incentive to be moral, and not even the dire consequences of being immoral will persuade people to not be so. If people don't return to a fundamental sense of belief in the divine, then no remedy offered by mankind will suffice, since if it is true that we are created by the divine, as I unequivocally believe we are, no remedy offered can suffice. Our punishment is to fall into the hands of evil people who become our rulers, and to self destruct through wars, famine, and disease.

5:40 - 6:10 Trying listening. How can you find a solution when your conclusion to the question is an ideology.

I agree with what she is saying. I grew up without a father, and its very destructive. The nuclear-family and Christianity is dying. There is also very little patriotism, becuse they get demonised for expressing those kind of feelings. There is just so much that divides people today.

God said "leave and cleave". Leave your father and mother and cleave to your wife. It doesn't say be independent and flat with your mates. You leave one family structure and create another.

How does loneliness happen in a culture that espouses freedom? What is the freedom we are talking about? Freedom to do a lot or little. A university psychology experiment many years ago gave participants the choice of 13 different flavored ice-creams. They could only have one. The people who liked more than a few flavors had a lot of difficulty in choosing the flavor and it seemed most of the participants found choosing one flavor difficult such that some could not choose. A second cohort was asked to choose from 4 flavors and each participant was able to choose a flavor without any difficulty, and were happy with the choice. One comment that came up repeatedly for the first group with 13 flavors is - how are they meant to choose!? Freedom (or having the freedom), to choose is in many ways, based on the character of people their mental well being and or their personality. It also might include degrees of disposable income and values. People with huge disposable income rarely agonize over choices that cost money, where as those with little money, by dint of that fact. must. Freedom is a doubled edged sword. Freedom to stuff your life up or do well. Freedom to borrow money for a mortgage but not the freedom to repay it back in hard economic times. Children are said to need well defined boundaries as they grow up related to personal expression, and activities. Inside each young person is a primal creature with hormones and impulses which cause internal problems to do with freedom, restrictions and choice. One thing that adults believe they have achieved is freedom once they leave home and earn a wage. But what of their psychological freedom? What they never countenance is whether they to should continue to have boundaries which limit the choices (and freedoms) such that, life is more manageable with fewer choices. A vast majority of people in the world need not have boundaries placed on their life's activities because material concerns and limited availability of resources food and water are in themselves restrictions in freedom. While this is partly true for all western countries, the reality is different for impoverished nations. The people in slums of Bombay appear to be happy however, with very little, but how can that be? religious faith possibly. Freedom in the west which is a response to feudal Europe has been playing out for centuries without an understanding of what specifically should be achieved with it and when that achievement will be reached. Many people use freedom to abuse the freedoms of others. Most freedom is used by many in a hedonistic and damaging way. There is no off button for freedom of choice or freedom, particularly in the USA a country which consumes by far the greatest proportion of all global resources. Has the freedom gone too far in the USA and the west? Should there be a limit to freedom? is this what the WEF is trying to do? A precinct in Scotland has proposed a law restricting how far people in specific villages can go outside where they live. 20 km was proposed. That sounds like revisiting the strictures of feudalism and serfdom. The primal nature of people kicks in when constraints are loosened. Every second western movie tells that exact story. The primal nature of people provides no guidance to freedom. It is a blessing and a curse.

can you say,,,Betty Friedan,Gloria Steinham, ....Tossing a baseball?? Check out Dr. Fauchi tossing a baseball in Yankee stadium....

As Victor Mature (?) said in "Head",the Monkees 1968 film "The danger is,my young friends,that you will get exactly what you want"

Speaking of Popular culture vs abstruse charts You must understand how the touch of your hand Makes my pulse react That it's only the thrill of boy meetin' girl Opposites attract It's physical Only logical You must try to ignore that it means more than that Oh oh What's love got to do, got to do with it? What's love but a second hand emotion? What's love got to do, got to do with it? Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken? Who needs a heart indeed... a liability

There's no more sense of family and community .

For the lonely, the only solution I can think of is God. Walking with God to become the best person you can be.

Typo on the splash screen guys!

History has shown that all actions, even with the best of intentions, have unintended, unexpected and unplanned consequences. Humans are humans, and three humans will think alike. For example, in my country our government hands out what's called a "child grant", which is so low, probably less than £20 British pounds a month. Yet, we have seen a surge in school-going teenage pregnancies. Our poverty rates and unemployment rates are so high that young women are having babies just to get this grant. The grant does not even pay for one week's diapers for the baby. The young mother then leaves the baby/child with her mother or grandmother who is then expected to take care of the baby/child while she either goes back to school. And she receives the child grant but it's, more often than not, not spent on the child. Her mother and grandmother have to find the money from somewhere to take care of the child. Baby milk formula is one of the highest theft items in shops, and it's kept under lock and key. Most likely because of this issue of needing food for babies. I know it does not make any sense (to me at least), but trying to get the young girls to understand this illogical decision is like speaking into the vacuum.

If you are not questioning 'climate change' then read a Greenpeace founder's book: Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Treats of Doom by Patric Moore for a fascinating informed perspective. Interestingly he's facing similar resistance, ie you are ignoring his research as, maybe, others are yours?

Ok look, Mr. John Anderson- If this woman TRULY want's to find the ROOT of this, and so many other issues? I will give you something I've given before- but maybe now? It will cause a "click" for you. I hope you READ your comments, or at least have an aid read them, or this will be fruitless: Her answer will be found, when she finally realizes ALL OF THIS? IS "INTENTIONAL". Things have been "WEAPONIZED", to not only trigger all this, but to CONTINUE it. If you wish to know, I need a way to contact you, that will actually not waste my time- I ask for nothing more.

The old song, One is the loneliest number, it's you'll ever do,two can be as bad.

Is cosequences a word?

The family/cultural breakup happened in WW2

*The government has really made things more difficult for its citizens and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance. it's obvious we are headed for hyperinflation,It is always the poor who take the hit.*

This video was too short.

Believing you need to not have Childrne in order to save the planet is the sort of anti-human meme that Daniel Dennet attributed to religions, except he didn't foresee the climate religion would just take it to the extreme. I don't want those people to have children and I want them to be lonely as they make veyrone else's life worse while extinguishing their own family line.

“Countantancing”

Normal is normal

This is a misattribution of causality.

Read Louise Perry, Mary Eberstadt and Neil Howe and things would make perfect sense.

They are victims of their own stupidity

There are fewer real Christians and religious people around and people have become more selfish

We are living much longer now - do you really want to spend 60 years with the same person? We just need to rewrite the rules and laws - stop punishing men - start holding women accountable - incentivise having children - and stop stealing cheap workers from poor countries!

I am the Last Generation .

I heard they blame loneliness on capitalism 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hate ID politics and wokeness buy Andersen's "lets go back to his god" solution is just as absurd.

Over a hundred years ago we gave women the vote. Slippery slope.

NO. For normal situations? Yes, she's correct. These are NOT normal times, nor have we come from normal times. Again, Mr. Anderson, if you'd like a REAL answer? JUST ASK. I will send you an explanation, that you may dissect with whom ever you wish, this gal included. When you are done, you will FINALLY understand the truth of wth is going on. I've only been warning of this for over 40 years. But you must understand, these powers in control, do NOT like when I do things of this nature, and it causes.. issues- this is why you don't know anything in regards to my warnings. You must take a leap of faith, sir, if you want real answers. Tell me, wth do you have to lose? I can tell you, you've much to gain. So how bout you stop ignoring my attempts to inform you, and just LISTEN for once? What you learn, WILL change everything.

The problems are many: but there were many 'positives' to come out of what happened in the 1960s and 70s. We removed 'stigma' from so many people (single mothers, divorced people, homosexual people, for example) that I would not like to see a return to how things were. That written, I can testify to the fact that - when under ten - my four siblings and I loved to join our large extended family (including Great Aunts, and Great Uncles; and so many cousins!) for a day in the 'family' Beach-Hut at Hayling Island. But we did notice our parents were unhappy together: especially when our father became violent: and our parents divorced when all five of us were off their hands. Families are not always positive places: but, perhaps, what we require is greater support for families. Nor is loneliness confined to old-age. In our Seventies, now, I know one or two single people in their 20s, who are desperately lonely: but what can two old men do about that, when already addressing the matter for our own age-group? The death of one's partner must be one of the most awful experiences in life: and too many of our families, and friends, have been going through that recently.

The problem was pandering to illogical women.

Seriously. Spelling guys.

Patriarchy

Investing in crypto. Hah hah hah hah hah.

We can be anarchists and punk rockers, but on the condition that our elites are competent administrators and public figures. Today, our elites have 0 backbone and do not have the confidence in themselves to keep developing their society and instill a sense of national pride to the public. This is especially true when you travel to countries outside of the Liberal West, where societies are more traditional and religious. What leftist activists were doing in the 60s, they had a fair point. Even in the 90s and 00s. Currently, however, I don't think so. I think what Trump did was wrong, but I think he is going to be an influential trailblazer for future right-wing leaders to rile up the populace and rally countries behind national unity like in the 1930s, especially if 50% of the population thinks so (not 0%, according to leftists).

Surely you would not want to go without abortion

You can’t seriously be suggesting that we go back to a 1950s style society when society’s woes were swept under the carpet and not discussed. It doesn’t mean society was utopian then.
