For many years, there has been a stereotype that men with liberal beliefs tend to have lower testosterone levels and, as a result of the feminist movement, a declining sperm count. This has led many to assume that these beliefs somehow weaken men, but research is now indicating that these assumptions may not be true. In this podcast, we explore the evidence that suggests that men with liberal views may not e losing their testosterone, and how the feminist movement may or may not be responsible for man's declining sperm count.

The biggest threat to woke ideology and ultra left sensitivity is this next generation of kids. Because they are being fed these ideas as strict rules to follow with negative, punitive consequence, they reject them in total.

Tesla! The future is Psychology. We don't need self-driving cars, we need automated depression inoculation systems. We need technology informed parenting coaches. The Future looks like autonomous vehicles driving mentally disturbed, suicidal, eternal victims through the streets. While machine intelligence creeps its way closer to quantum processing and verifiable artificial Intelligence, human psychology appears to be headed for institutionalized loss of agency. What do you think is going to happen to the 30% percent of Americans currently showing signs of anxiety and depressive disorders? No scalable treatment exists capable of handling this magnitude of suffering. In this episode, we take a look at the overwhelming volume of psychic distress and speculate as to how we got here. The real frontier is the shy and illusive inner world of human experience. The Future is Psychology. We are going to make it through this truly bizarre period, and the solution might be right around the corner. This is the centennial episode on ETF.

This is a story about masculinity shaped by strong cultural influence. The guest explains the cost of suppressing emotional vulnerability to survive life's hardships.

Now they've done it! Mass shooters come in 5 types according to these psychologists. The truth is we have no idea how mental illness plays a part in mass shootings. Gun control is one proposed solution. Are there any mass shooters that are not mentally ill?
