This chapter emphasizes the need to eliminate stereotypes and treat boys and girls equally in schools, highlighting that there are no significant differences between male and female brains. It also explores the benefits of belonging to a group, including improved mental health and longevity.
It's human nature to form groups — families, friends, online communities. We love to be surrounded by people similar to us.
But that can also make us discriminatory and defensive. And social media makes that instinct worse.
In this episode, we look at how our brains evolved to connect and divide, and what that means for the problems we face in our modern world.
