Scott Galloway's Bad Idea To Make Young Men Happier

You have probably heard of Scott Galloway, a clinical professor of marketing at New York University. At some point over the course of the last several years, this academic and author became the mainstream media's favorite all-purpose podcaster. As is the case with his similarly minded colleague, the smartphone fatalist Jonathan Haidt, a certain amount of trendy moral panicking comes with the territory; thus Galloway has built an impressive career offering bland (though often inoffensive) wisdom and also terrible policy advice, particularly with respect to tech addiction and the plight of young men.

He hosts a tech-phobic YouTube show with the equally paranoia-stricken Kara Swisher and also a politics-focused program called Raging Moderates with liberal Fox News icon Jessica Tarlov, an incredibly talented commentator who is neither raging nor moderate. If that wasn't enough, he has his own YouTube show, too—and he makes frequent appearances on other people's shows, like The View and Real Time with Bill Maher. In his most recent Maher segment, he railed against Big Tech's contributions to gambling addiction among young men.
