– The X post by Scott Adams retweets Mike Cernovich, highlighting a cultural critique that both men and women are stuck in “extended adolescence,” engaging in risky behaviors like gambling and drinking, which aligns with research showing compulsive gambling is more prevalent in men, often linked to mental health issues like depression or substance misuse (Mayo Clinic, 2022).
– Cernovich’s perspective ties into broader societal trends, as studies indicate adolescents are particularly vulnerable to risky behaviors due to underdeveloped prefrontal cortex activity, with men showing more adolescent-like brain patterns into adulthood, potentially explaining persistent gambling tendencies (PMC study on adolescent neural development).
– The phrase “the clock runs out” suggests a critical view on aging out of these behaviors, reflecting data that men and women have similar rates of volume change in brain regions like the ventral striatum by the end of puberty, yet men’s slower neural maturation may prolong such adolescent traits (PMC study on sex differences in brain development).

Women and men alike are in an extended adolescence, then the clock runs out. Men are gambling, drinking, stuff that was generally a “college phase,” well into middle aged. Women are brunching and doing bottomless mimosas. It’s fun until the clock strikes midnight.
