In his now-viral TikTok video, Hermes begins by stating, "The reason that there is such a void of male role models for young men is because we literally do not have adult males in our population anymore."
He explains although there are "grown men" everywhere, he doesn't actually see them as "physiologically adult human males."
In a short biology lesson, Hermes explains the organism Neoteny and how it retains juvenile traits as it ages if it doesn't get stressed out enough.
In simpler terms, if someone lives in an environment that is too "easy," they're less likely to develop adult traits.
All these ideas…are chained to the existence of men, to who[m]…they owe their existence. Precisely in this case the preservation of these definite races and men is the precondition for the existence of these ideas. --
