I’ve started a clips channel on youtube to share the absolute highlights from my 2+ hour episodes in more digestible chunks of 5-10 minutes. Would mean a lot if you could subscribe to help me jump start it:
Something terrible has happened in modern dating:
5 - 10% of young american women are on Onlyfans
Birth rates have plummeted below subsistence in developed nations
A massive amount of young men are incels
My guest today is Notre Dame’s David O’Connor. He is going to diagnose what has gone wrong, show us how incels and onlyfans are two sides of the same coin, and what you can do to secure a happy love life today.
In this interview, Professor O’Connor will rescue classical resources from the Platonic and Catholic tradition to help you survive modern dating.
