Men have to figure out what they have to do.

Gerund

And if they have nothing worth living for, then they stay Peter Pan.

Disagreeable men won't do anything they don't want to do.

I'm not listening to your stupid classes.

I've been talking a lot to the crowds that I've been talking to, not about rights but about responsibility Because you can't have the bloody conversation.

You can't have the conversation about rights without the conversation about responsibility because you just can't have only half of that discussion.

The question is, well what the hell are you leaving out if you only have that half of the discussion?

And the answer is, well you're leaving out responsibility.

And then the question is, well what are you leaving out if you're leaving out responsibility?

And the answer might be, well maybe you're leaving out the meaning of life.

Because look at you, you're useless, easily hurt, easily killed.

Make it heavy enough so that you can think, yeah well, useless as I am, at least I can move that from there to there.

Well what's really cool about that is that when I talk to these crowds about this, the men's eyes light up.

But this responsibility thing, that's a whole new order of this, is that young men are so hungry for that, it is unbelievable.

I was watching The Simpsons the other day.

So what happens in the first Simpsons episode is that it's Christmas, and Homer and Marge are going to buy some Christmas presents, but Homer doesn't get his Christmas bonus.

Even though he's kind of useless, bumbling, laughing fool of a guy, you know, the thing that gives that show its soul is that he's still oriented towards his family.

That's what makes him honorable, is that foolish as he is, he's decided to adopt responsibility for his family and to try to bear that.

And it's so interesting watching the story because he suffers dreadfully as a consequence of not being able to fulfill his responsibility.

Women have their sets of responsibilities.

Because the alternative to valued responsibility is impulsive, low-class pleasure.

And you saw that in the Pinocchio story, right?

It's like, well, why lift a load if there's nothing in it for you?

That's another thing that we're doing to men that's a very bad idea.

It's like, you're pathological and oppressive.

If that's the situation, if I get no credit for bearing responsibility, I could bloody well be sure I'm not going to bear any.

But then, you know, your life is useless and meaningless.

You're full of self-contempt and nihilism, and that's not good.

And so that's what I think's going on at a deeper level with regards to men needing this direction.

A man has to decide that he's going to do something.

And it's so interesting to watch the young men when you talk to them about responsibility.

Grow the hell up and do something useful.

It's like, rights, rights, rights, rights.

And I feel that that's deeply felt by the people who are coming out to listen to these sorts of things, too.

And they better have, because it's a non-productive mode of being.
