Transcript excerpt
If I wanted to bankrupt a whole generation of young men, here's exactly what I'd do. One, I would legalize online sports gambling and remove any friction point in the process. You could do this through the phone in your pocket at any time, day or night, twenty four seven. Two, I would make sports gambling absolutely unavoidable. I would take over all of sports media, every single sports league possible, and then I would go to the media networks that broadcast those. Then I would take the athletes that play in those leagues, and then I would go to all of sports media that they consume, their favorite podcast, their favorite creators, and I would have them promote this online sports gambling ad nauseam. Third, I would target them at their most vulnerable moments. For the few men who are still going to college, I would target them. Then I would try to reach these young men before they ever have a chance of developing a prefrontal cortex. I'd exploit the psychology and I would rig the game. If you win, we would kick you off the platform. If you lose though, we're gonna give you VIP access. That's right. You get front row tickets, you get suites, and you get all kinds of gifts and perks
