Tim plays and reacts to TikTok videos of a user identifying as a hawk therian with neopronouns and discussing 'systems' and splitting, riffing on whether this counts as a positive societal development.
- Tim jokes that Republicans would prefer their kid to be a hawk rather than trans.
- Tim states flatly that children believing they are birds is not a positive development for society.
- Mental illness spreads easily on TikTok and other apps, he says, which isn't great for kids.
- Tim imagines showing this content to the Chinese president and him having no idea what's happening.
- He tries to parse what the creator means by "splitting patterns" and gets increasingly confused.
- Tim changes his mind: just ban TikTok.
- The commitment to neopronouns and animal identities doesn't seem fun compared to 1960s counterculture, Tim observes.
- He wonders whether being a hawk is actually supposed to be fun, then tries to find evidence of joy in the videos.
- Tim looks for a moment where someone is actually smiling and having fun as a hawk.
