Ep. 080: Have Men Been Forgotten?

Daniel Corcoran joins Forgotten America to discuss men's issues and why he feels our modern culture is leaving men behind. Statistics across a variety of sectors show that men are struggling with mental health, criminality, friendship, overall well-being, purposelessness, and society's perception of men. Dan & Garrett discuss these issues, how they affect men, and ways we can improve the lives of boys and men.   Keep up with Dan's work: Overcoming the Divide – YouTube Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@overcomingthedivide Men of Tomorrow – podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/men-of-tomorrow/id1752861808 @dancorcoran28 on Instagram   Some Relevant Statistics Mentioned in this Episode: 15% of men don't have a close friend (5 fold increase since 1990) 4 times more likely to die by suicide but 10 percentage points less likely to seek help 10 Million working-age men are not working or looking for work 71% of opioid overdoses are men 80-93% of men comprise prison populations   Additional Resources Mentioned: Richard Reeves: https://richardvreeves.com/ True Detective Quote: https://www.shmoop.com/quotes/world-needs-bad-men.html @TheTinMen https://www.instagram.com/thetinmen/ Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins https://a.co/d/5iFYOas Stoic Philosophy https://www.britannica.com/topic/Stoicism Camille Paglia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Paglia The Art of Manliness https://www.artofmanliness.com/ Jordan Peterson https://www.youtube.com/user/JordanPetersonVideos Jocko Willink https://jocko.com/ Garrett Ballengee, Host President & CEO - @gballeng Cardinal Institute for West Virginia Policy   Amanda Kieffer, Executive Producer & Editor Vice President of Communications & Strategy - @akieffer13  Cardinal Institute for West Virginia Policy   Follow: YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram Support: Patreon, Donate, Newsletter
