And if you don't learn how to compete physically with other males as a kid, this has been shown in in non-human animals and there's some evidence for this in humans that uh you have more trouble. Sorry, it just occurred to me that this is obviously happening with social media. People are using their iPhones to compete instead of getting out in the yard and play fighting or fighting with other boys. That's actually healthy because it ends up reducing aggression. It it helps especially young boys and young men learn their place in the hierarchy, what they're capable of physically, how to be threatening and when to be threatening, uh when to signal that they're submitting. you know, all of that happens and it's fun. So, they're driven to do it because it's adaptive for them evolutionarily.
