Young People Have Dead Eyes: Kids as a Societal Threat
from Dead-Eyed Monsters | The Tim Dillon Show #375 · #375
5 min
Tim expands into a broader rant that young people today are unfeeling, nihilistic, and dangerous due to algorithm-driven upbringings, describing his own unease encountering teenagers in malls and restaurants.
- Tim on young people as a real threat to the country, carrying guns and committing car burglaries.
- At 38, Tim admits he's on edge when seeing a young person in a high-end mall restaurant, expecting either violence or a lecture about preferred names.
- Young people have been made sick—unfeeling, uncaring monsters shaped by Snapchat trends like "hit a Kitten dead."
- Tim argues young people don't see violence as something real and don't attach value to human life the way older people do.
- Young people have dead eyes—visible in any restaurant, diner, or gastropub when you look at the 14-year-old in a large family.
- Parents outsource child-rearing to iPads and MacBooks without knowing the consequences, and here's what happens: the kids become monsters.
- Go speak to a teenager at a holiday party and you'll see the dead eyes—it's terrifying and there's plenty of evidence now that whatever we're doing to them isn't working.
- Kids are being fully raised on TikTok and algorithms, becoming nihilists in an environment where nothing is real.
- Tim's generation at least saw institutions like the Catholic Church and government fall from a pedestal, but these kids have never had any authority figure worth respecting from the start.
- Their lives are pure chaos from the moment they're cognizant of anything.
