Male Loneliness Is Exploding...Tech, AI, and Society Are Making It Worse
Scott Galloway — NYU Stern Professor of Marketing, serial entrepreneur, bestselling author of Notes on Being a Man, and one of the most influential voices on culture, masculinity, and economics — returns to Mayim Bialik's Breakdown for a brutally honest conversation about what’s happening to young men today… and why it affects all of us.
In this wide-ranging discussion, Galloway breaks down why young men are more lonely, economically insecure, and socially disconnected than any generation before them, and how technology, AI companionship, and synthetic relationships are hijacking young male brains at an unprecedented scale.
We explore the growing maturity gap between men and women, why women are now surpassing men financially and educationally, and why young men are struggling so badly in the modern dating market. Scott also dives into the alarming rise of AI chatbots and synthetic relationships, especially among young people, and the hidden dangers no one is talking about.
Scott also breaks down:
- Why young men today are at a disadvantage compared to prior generations
- How tech, AI, and economic insecurity are fueling male loneliness
- Why women’s success does NOT cause men to fail
- Why young men are falling behind in education, income, and dating
- Shocking prevalence of human–AI relationships and why they’re dangerous
- Why resilience is the most important trait for long-term success
- Why older generations of men have a moral obligation to pay it forward
- How single-parent households affect children, especially boys (The U.S. has the highest rate of single-parent homes in the world!)
- Best ways to truly connect with your kids in a digital world
- Why Scott identifies as a reluctant atheist and how belief, meaning, and purpose fit into modern life
This is a conversation about masculinity, responsibility, technology, parenting, faith, and the future, and why fixing the crisis facing young men is one of the most important challenges of our time.
