Tim argues modern life, sex, and dating have become sanitized and passionless, using his sister's stalled relationship as an example, concluding politics is the only outlet left for real feeling.
- Tim argues that people no longer feel genuine messiness and physicality in sexual relationships.
- The perfect has become the enemy of the good—everyone pursuing hyper-specific fantasies instead of raw connection.
- In the seventies people just had sex without self-consciousness, even on cab rides on the West Side Highway.
- Tim's sister dates a guy for three years with no proposal despite 90 vacation opportunities to do it.
- The sister claims she's letting him go at his own pace, but Tim questions whether he's even planning to propose.
- People get excited about politics because it gives them a chance to make other people feel pain.
