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. As the kids in the 1960's rebelled against conformity and the kids from the 1980's rejected religious dogma, the kids today laugh at the frivolous attempt to tell them how to act and what they can and cannot say.

Red pill, Blue pill, Traditional marriage, polyamory, feminism, Jordan Peterson's model: we try to sort out the value in each of these perspectives and the errors in them.

Some say the promise of a road to salvation is lined with dead bodies. Like robots we all make our way toward a life without suffering. None of us are born with discipline, and it has somehow become the new religion. The system is rigged, flawed, and sick. So how do you become someone who fulfills their dreams? These guys propose that it's through delayed gratification and well thought out plans all are destined for salvation.

It is entirely possible that some peoples lives are organically psychedelic beyond the altered states of drugs.

Once known for Hollywood stars, bourbon, and coal; Americans now boast some of the highest rates of loneliness in the world. We examine the three types of loneliness leading to pathology. Some forms of social isolation are easy to deal with, and others appear to be deeply enmeshed in American life. The plague of isolation, boredom, and loneliness predate the pandemic and will likely stay with us for a long time. Loneliness is a signal to act and do something constructive with your life.

Dr Douglass and Dr Thompson discuss the gradual change in human culture towards increasing interpersonal isolation. We talk about how this came about, its negative psychological impacts, and how to change it.

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.

We explore healthy and mature masculinity in contrast to "toxic masculinity." We contrast this with healthy and unhealthy femininity. We talk about the need for people to play out and mature in their aggression and how this is important to mature, health debate and political and ideological discourse in societies.

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. While it appears possible to cut off the emotions related to ones own suffering, we remain vulnerable to the pain of those closest to you. Dr. Dave continues to map out a comprehensive model of strength and vulnerability removing the stigma of therapy for men.
