O’Shaughnessy Ventures CEO O’Shaughnessy warns Gen Z risk aversion fuels social isolation, dating decline
  • OShaughnessy Ventures CEO Jim O’Shaughnessy hosted an Infinite Loops interview with Wall Street Journal editor Emma Camp.
  • Camp argued the US housing affordability squeeze reflects a supply shortage, not landlord “greed,” urging faster private-sector building.
  • She criticized rent control as ineffective, warning policies that penalize developers can worsen shortages and raise costs.
  • Camp linked weaker social engagement among young adults to risk aversion, citing fear of rejection amplified by online exposure.
  • She also faulted “therapy culture” for normalizing flaking and over-pathologizing routine stress, tying it to helicopter parenting.
