Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Mary Everstadt. She's a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Centre and an author.

We're told that more freedom is a good thing, that the more options and choices a person has, the better their life will be.

With this in mind, the sexual revolution should have been one of the biggest improvements ever for women and their quality of life.

But all might not be quite as rosy as it seems.

To learn who really benefited from the sexual revolution, how the introduction of the pill increased the number of single mothers,

where Mary thinks the newfound psychological fragility of young people is coming from, whether inventing hormonal birth control reduced or increased the number of abortions,

why so many people are checking out of dating, and much more.

I really enjoyed this episode. I love digging into unseen consequences and the paradoxes of movements and changes that are supposed to benefit some people, or maybe everybody,

and the second and third-order effects are not what was intended. Some really, really interesting stuff here.

In other exciting news, this Monday, an episode goes live with one of the most requested guests, probably the biggest health and fitness podcaster on the planet.

Dr Andrew Huberman, I cannot wait to release this. It was three hours long. We went to LA and recorded it in a beautiful warehouse with our full cinema set up in 4K,

and he was very much on form, so that goes live this Monday. If you don't want to miss it, you need to make sure that you are subscribed so that you know when episodes drop,

so navigate to Spotify or Apple Podcasts and press the subscribe button for me.

Thank you.
