>The goal of civilization seems to be to eliminate work and risk, but the world has changed more than we have.
>Our bodies crave work and sex, our minds crave risk and conflict.
>How long will men be satisfied to replay and reinvent the conflict dramas of the past through books and movies and games, without the hope of experiencing any meaningful conflict in their own lives?
>When will we grow tired of hearing the stories of great men long dead?
>How long will men tolerate this state of relative dishonor, knowing that their ancestors were stronger men, harder men, more courageous men—and knowing that this heritage of strength survives in them, but that their own potential for manly virtue, for glory, for honor, will be wasted?
>Men are dropping out and disengaging from our slick, easy, safe world.
>For what may be the first time in history, the average guy can afford to be careless.
>Nothing he does really matters, and—what’s worse—there is a shrinking hope of any future where what he does will matter.
