Like a calm before the storm, our society may be on the brink of irreversible and incomprehensible consequences. All objective truth may soon be removed from society and be replaced with a post-modernist approach where truth simply cannot exist. Still, what is the truth? What is the undeniable evolutionary science behind men and women in today’s society? On this episode of Conversations with Tom, Tom is joined by Evolutionary Biologist Heather Heying to discuss such matters and more as they explore today’s society and the undeniable biological differences between men and women, how each sex has a unique and powerful role in societies, and why in today’s modern age, culture wars has eroded trust in objective truth. They discuss today’s social movements and the harmful consequences of letting them go too far, the differences between men and women in society, how hunter-gatherer societies may be key to understanding our roles, the origin of men and women being divided in society by role and purpose, the dangers we face if we continue to deny our differences, why the culture war movements are power hungry, how to have a successful workplace environment and team, and the risks we face as a society if we overprotect our children and refuse to let them take risks and make their own decisions.

[2:00:37] Closing | Tom closes today’s episode and shares where you can continue to follow Heather’s work and teachings. [2:07:27] QUOTES: “…is it true that an entirely male power structure has a tendency to go off the rails in a particular way in which we’re well familiar from like all of history? Yeah, of course, right? Would an all-female power structure go off the rails in a particular way that we’re less familiar with from history? A hundred-percent. I don’t want to see that anymore than I want to see, you know, another World War II…” [15:30] “…what you said earlier is just exactly right and I’ve never heard anyone say it before which is that when you have been on all-male teams, it’s easier, and when you have been on mixed-sex teams, it’s more productive and I just, you know, so hope that that anecdote holds across everything. It’s what I’m sort of banking on…” [57:23] “The thing is, yes we get less flexible as we age, for sure. Our brains get less plastic, we get more, you know, canalized into our particular ways of thinking but continuing to expose ourselves to more and more experiences that are different from anything we imagined is how to keep that flexibility…” [1:29:20] FOLLOW HEATHER: Website: heatherheying.com Twitter: twitter.com/HeatherEHeying LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/heathereheying Podcast: youtube.com/channel/UCi5N_uAqApEUIlg32QzkPlg Patreon: patreon.com/heatherheying

1:40.8	Hey everybody welcome to another episode of conversations with Tom I am here today with somebody who I am extraordinarily excited to talk about talk to Heather
1:49.6	Hiing thank you so much for joining me today thank you very much for having me Tom absolutely so you we're talking just before we started rolling about evolutionary biology which of course is your strong suit
2:03.6	and I want to dive right into that there's something going on in culture today where it seems like I think it was Douglas Murray that talks about how you know there were things that we all knew up until yesterday and now it's like
2:19.0	where somehow it's you know become this weird thing where there's not agreement and the one sort of taboo subject that I become absolutely obsessed with that you talk really eloquently about is the differences between men and women
2:34.0	and I know that like this is a hot button topic for people but I I find it very intriguing and I want to start what is it that has made this a hot button issue
2:46.0	Oh wow what is it that has made a hot button issue I'm not sure I know the answer to that framed that way you know some of it some of it is originally legitimate concern about traditional and increasingly archaic gender roles
3:06.0	right and you know emerging from sort of first and second wave feminism of which I'm a fan and I always identified with you seeing that they're seeing that there were socially imposed differences between male and female gender roles some people extrapolated I would argue wrongly that those differences were entirely socially imposed that were in the language of academia a social construct entirely right
3:32.0	and you know the fact is that we can see by looking at other cultures by looking at non-weird cultures by looking at what babies do you know before before culture has a chance to impose itself in the weird countries or in countries that don't have the weird influences and so far as that's possible anymore
3:51.0	you might want to define weird weird people that have never heard that acronym before absolutely so weird all all caps acronym Western educated industrialized rich democratic
4:01.0	so you know all the countries you would imagine you know Europe Japan US Canada and you know maybe including some of what what used to be called first world but that's no longer exactly considered the right way to describe it
4:14.0	so you know are are the things that we see between men and women that are different typically in those weird countries entirely a social construct no they're not
