The Male Crisis: The Male Gender's Deteriorating Wellbeing & Performance In Society

The Male Crisis is a silent yet sophisticated problem. Although most of us have a man in our lives that we love, no one seems to be aware of the daunting issues facing men today. The average man today is less educated, affluent, and healthy, and more lonely, mentally distressed, and disaffected than any other time in the last 50 years. Unfortunately, society lacks the empathy and understanding required to help these struggling men, worsening the situation for a significant proportion of men at an alarming rate. Today we talk about this concerning phenomenon and its societal impact, and how to start turning things around collectively in our current social and political climate, and it all but starts with truly listening to each other’s struggles.

Prism Thoughts - Metaverse: Virtual Reality or Virtual Fantasy?

Into the Metaverse: Virtual Reality or Virtual Fantasy? In October of 2021, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg rebranded their organization to “Meta,” promising to bring the Metaverse to life and bring a virtual social platform into our daily lives. Just over a year later, the company has shrunk by over US$650 billion and laid off 11,000+ of their employees.  What does this mean for Zuckerberg’s dream of a connected digital landscape? Is VR the future of our lives or will it become another abandoned project?  Firas, Talha, and Simon sit down to discuss what the Metaverse could mean for social connection, entertainment, gaming, work, and education – they also weigh the pros and cons of Zuckerberg’s virtual reality platform and what our lives could be like through a Virtual Reality Headset.
