I had the opportunity to chat with a missionologist and cultural anthropologist who tracks trends among young men in the United States. While discussing the topic, he offered a poignant, half-serious remark: “Nothing’s worse than a society of young men who think they don’t have a future.” On the surface, one could easily list many things that are objectively worse. But I believe the profound truth he was pointing to is the unique and severe damage inflicted on a society when a generation of its young men feels, “There is nothing here for me.”
