In this clip, I sit down with economist Nick Eberstadt to wrestle with a question that might be hiding in plain sight…and might also be the most important one nobody's really asking—what's going on with us?

We talk about shrinking populations, rising loneliness, and something Nick calls the "new misery"—a kind of modern discontent that doesn't look anything like the poverty our grandparents fought through but feels just as real. We dig into men without work, the quiet exodus from the labor force, and the uncomfortable truth that having more has not necessarily made us happier or more connected.

This isn't a conversation about doom and gloom. It's about patterns, blind spots, and the strange disconnect between abundance and fulfillment. It's about what happens when the rules change but nobody gets the memo.
And maybe most importantly, it's about whether we still have what it takes to fix it.
