I'm sorry but this is so fucking lame. Your grandparents partied. Your grandparents hosted, they went to bars, they did shit. They didnt sit around and pride themselves for spending all of their free time staring at their children and mowing the lawn. Get the fuck out of your house. Take your wife out for a drink and listen to some live music. Have a conversation with someone at the bar. Go to a hockey game with your college buddies. Youre not somehow more mature for being homebound. Get a life.

Appreciate the thoughtful response, and you spending the time to watch
This is a thought starter & provocation, tied to where we are, vs. where we were a decade or two ago. Some say deport (including citizens), we say, let's think about assimilation proactively & creatively.
Have you watched the full video? I reckon you’ll dig it
Appreciate the input and hard agree on instilling duty being a core driver. Singapore does this very well.
But defence and resilience at a community level go hand in hand. That’s not feminisation it’s just holistic.
Once one develops a strong radar for self-serving NPCs, and locks in with good people, the clouds part.
Another takeaway after three years of building a company is that the returns to just "being a good person", and not acting transactionally, are higher than I expected.
There are so many transactional, boring, and at times immoral people in the tech industry that if you act with sustained warmth, authenticity, humor, and integrity, great gifts will be laid before you. White pill.
Ask not what your country can do for you...
