I think its missing a point going "just learn to be huuuuman guys!" -- it's something that sounds really good on paper, except its clear or should be clear that our society is having huge problems answering "and what does that mean?" -- and that sounds like a cop out, but an in reality we're seeing that a lot of people just don't know what to do in their lives and it's having a big effect on their lives -- more men staying virgins much later, not getting married perhaps ever, not having kids, never owning a home, and many women facing similar indicators showing people don't really know what to do. There's a pandemic of women reaching middle age asking "where are the good guys?" Because there's a whole skill set they don't have as people.
Our society is so broken that gen z is more not ok than ok, which isn't like previous generations at all.

If you can say something like that you're to be able to just know how to be human, one of a shrinking number, especially when what it is to be human is changing so much so quickly. I'm one of six kids in a family with stong and still useful traditions, so yeah I learned how to coexist with others and exist in the world, but there's generations coming of age who were part of small, atomized families and who never had a real world community, and so they don't know and that doesn't make them bad people, it makes them homo sapiens in the postmodern world.
