anything? How many times do I have to say fight before you change your opinion of my opinion? Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. I think that's enough. When asked if Trump is a fascist, because of course you have to ask that question, Schlossberg said that there are historical analogies. In other words, yeah, he's saying that Trump is a fascist. Now, similar to my earlier conversation wher…

But this is a real thing that happened recently. So Schiff said in public, he said this, we have to get past the ruinous idea of making presidents unsuccessful because of politics. What? And quote, "Stop viewing each other as our enemy." Wait a minute. That is Adam Schiff, the guy who's trying to ruin a presidency. What? And the only way he can say this in public is because he's confident that people don't know what he said 10 minutes ago or yesterday or one minute ago or ever. The only way he can say that in public is because he knows that nobody's going to look it up. Nobody's going to compare it to what he did. But of course, if you're watching X and you follow any accounts on the right, you know there's going to be a compilation clip of him doing whatever it is he says you shouldn't do. Now, I haven't seen it yet, but you know it's coming because the right is really good at that.
Western Lensman, who is a really good account for you to follow, had a number of good stories today. So I will just recommend them. It's two words. Western Lensman. Just a good follow. Has about as many followers as I have. So it's grown organically because it does a good job, whoever runs it.
Scott Galloway. You know Scott Galloway? You've seen him. Famous author, entrepreneur. I sometimes refer to myself as the poor man's Scott Galloway, literally the poor man's because he's done really well financially. But he was on Bill Maher's show. He had some alarming stats. Forty-five percent of men from the ages of 18 to 24 have never asked a woman out in person. Forty-five percent of men have never asked a woman out in person. Maybe that's not as bad as it sounds. Is that as bad as it sounds? Because if you're asking them out, not in person, but they say yes, don't you end up in the same place? If you say, "Hey, read my text. You know, let's go to the movies tonight." It's kind of the same.
Now, I get that someone who learns how to approach somebody is going to be better off in life than someone who's afraid of approaching someone. I get that. But is it that much of a difference? To me, it just seems like younger people have different tools. So the tools they use are online because that's the tools they have. I don't know how big a problem that is, but certainly we're losing the ability to approach people and that might have a, well even that might make no difference in the long run because the whole process of selling is going to fall to AI, won't it? So if your AI is doing all the selling for, let's say, non-dating reasons, do you even need to learn that skill? It might be a useless skill. It's so unpredictable. What's going to happen in two to five years? So unpredictable.
And also Scott Galloway says 63 percent of men under the age of 30 are not even pursuing a relationship. Wait, what? Nearly two-thirds of men under the age of 30 are not even trying. Not even trying. Well, here I would add some context again. In my day, you know, when I was a youngster, everybody sort of assumed that their path would involve some romantic family kind of a thing. So we were all kind of oriented toward making that happen. But suppose it's 2025 and all you need to do is have access or contact with a lot of people and sooner or later you'll like one, they'll like you back, you'll be in good shape. So when you say

pursuing a relationship, my old guy question is this. If there's anybody young enough to answer the question, do young people pursue or do they just exist? This is a serious question, by the way. I don't know the answer. Do young people pursue relationships as much as they used to? Or do they just say, "No, I'm going to do this thing. I'll probably meet some people. Some of the people I meet might…
