Yen other e istnot that these girls want to be boys. They want to be tramps, u ye. And they wanted belosed. I think they that's really good. Now, then, since you're also civil rights activists, how do you resolve the conflicting rights issues? In this particular one, male to female trans that want to enter girls sports irels. Women fought, you know, for decades to get their own divisions with equal a prize money,. and now these guys want to come in, wealth guys, ok, they're trans whatever. But don't they have a right to have compete like that?

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.
