If you wanted to destroy young men in the 21st century, here's what you'd do it with a plan to do it: I'd whisper that mediocrity is safe, and ambition is overrated. Then I'd reward pleasure over purpose, make them crave quick highs, entertainment, comfort food, cheap distractions, all while their potential rots. I'd tempt them to seek validation over vision. Make them addicted to likes, approval, afraid to stand alone for what they believe. And I'd tell them never take risks, play it safe, stay in their little bubble, never daring to chase anything meaningful. I d convince them it's fine to only act when they feel like it. Let them rely on their parents for everything, so they never truly grow up. Then, I'd sever their faith, tell them belief is weakness, convince them nothing really matters, except chasing the next thrill. That's how I do it.
