Summary

Some people are more motivated by bad news while others are paralyzed in fear. Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying are two Evolutionary Biologists that give you the facts, discoveries and observations as they see it. Tom reads a direct quote from their latest book that says, “We are headed for collapse. Civilization is becoming incoherent around us.” Bret and Heather break down fundamental ideas behind what humans have learned from evolution for thousands of years, how corrupt the science community has become, and how to parent your children with the goal of mitigating risks while they are younger. These biologists are incredibly fascinating with novel ideas of what adaptation would look like for humans if we are careful and intentional.

Dude, the new book, A Hunter Gathers Guide to the 21st Century.

0:49.4

I loved it.

0:51.3

It is absolutely extraordinary. and I want to begin with a quote from the book that is quite ominous and then I want to see what you guys have to say about this bad boy.

1:01.0

So here we go. This is literally a direct quote from the book towards the end, but and I quote, we are headed for collapse. Civilization is becoming incoherent around us.
