Men have effectively two mind sets with respect to sex, both of them evolutionary adaptations in human beings. Offspring are so labor intensive to raise well that pairs that agree to raise offspring together out compete individuals who attempt to raise offspring alone. And then men have an additional way of reproducing that involves a impregnating somebody leaving. But we're left with these two arether strategies, which, historically, both have been available to men, and only one has been available to women. In order to be liberated, what men need to be able to do is to act like men at their worst,. We need to also be able to access the short term reproductive strategy that men haveHistorically had
We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet people are more listless, divided and miserable than ever. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, and yet our political landscape grows ever more toxic, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these two truths? What’s more, what can we do to close it?
For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our woes is clear: the modern world is out of sync with our ancient brains and bodies. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we’re not built for is killing us.
Heying and Weinstein cut through the politically fraught discourse surrounding issues like sex, gender, diet, parenting, sleep, education, and more to outline a science-based worldview that will empower you to live a better, wiser life. They distill more than 20 years of research and first-hand accounts from the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth into straightforward principles and guidance for confronting our culture of hyper-novelty.
