Sven Sinclair spoke on June 11, 2017 at the Northern Virginia Ethical Society about “Are Men Obsolete?”
White men without college education were a key demographic behind Donald Trump’s electoral victory and other reactionary social movements of our time. Their resentment may not be entirely irrational, because the 21st century looks rather bleak for low-to-average-skilled men as common male characteristics, once an important comparative advantage, are increasingly irrelevant in the technologically advanced and more peaceful world. How will the roles for most men in the future society differ from those in the past? Can the new roles be fulfilling, or will they be a perennial source of strife?
