** This is a partnership episode originally recorded in collaboration with Singularity **

This week our guests are evolutionary biologists, Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, who many of you might recognize from their frequent appearances on the Joe Rogan Podcast, or from their very own show, the⁠ Darkhorse Podcast⁠, where they explore current affairs through an evolutionary lens.

They’ve recently released a brand new book, ⁠A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life⁠, where they combine their decades of expertise into a comprehensive overview of the many lessons evolution can teach us, including concepts like the precautionary principle, Sucker’s Folly, Chesterton's Fence, and more.

This was a wonderfully expansive conversation exploring many of the ways in which technology and capitalism is being driven by our ancient genetic wiring. This includes exploring the impacts of social media, of technological infrastructure, of capitalism and its incentives, the biological influences of complacency due to technological comfort, and far much more than I can even begin to summarize here.
