Brain We Are - SoundSage

Bret and Heather are evolutionary biologists who earned their Ph.D. at the Michigan University and both of them were professors at Evergreen state college until 2017 and then visiting fellows at Princeton University. They now host the dark horse podcast. And in 2021 they published their book A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century.

The book: https://www.huntergatherersguide.com/"We´ve arrived in the 21st century with evolutionary baggage, and a fair bit of intellectual confusion. Let us understand that baggage, in order to reduce confusion, and increase our odds of moving forward with maximal human flourishing."Listen to the best episodes we have:https://youtu.be/gDWxCkngQNQ?si=vMFSr2i0UkUoNKoRhttps://youtu.be/pSn_YOdKR40?si=YY_v_jUS-pfOZTMjhttps://youtu.be/yVIXMpI7tG0?si=tWmtsLdkrGlExvrXhttps://youtu.be/6xIvBeRj7ZM?si=281EV5GcEXEtC3aEListen to the latest episode here:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2czLMsbujC4p8FJ88gW0TQ?si=599b1b153e9f4a18Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brain-we-are/id1671775183CastBox: https://castbox.fm/channel/id5315213?utm_source=website&utm_medium=dlink&utm_campaign=web_share&utm_content=Brain%20We%20Are-CastBox_FMMusic from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/track/sax-beat-funk/Timestamps:00:00 Introduction01:09 Who are Bret and Heather06:32 Why are humans Generalists08:55 We have not changed12:59 Tradeoffs of being a generalist17:00 Noice making behaviors20:21 Dance VS $ex22:58 $exual autism?32:31 The impact of Birth control36:30 Our Creativity VS Our Sexuality39:14 Imagine a world without the word "$ex"45:32 We do not have to have a reason for action48:21 Being in the zone55:46 Campfire01:04:56 Summary01:07:25 How people can create their Campfires01:12:09 Cheap dopamine & Social media01:19:47 We have too many choices01:26:06 What is "Senescence civilization"01:33:02 intergenerational inheritance01:38:11 CZ VS USA Society01:47:19 Metamodernism01:56:00 Concept of the Fourth Frontier02:04:02 We have finite energy02:18:52 Ending
