Modern Wisdom

Dr. Kathryn Paige Harden is a psychologist and behavioural geneticist, Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and an author.

Are people born evil, or does evil emerge from circumstance? While we tend to blame genetics for humanity’s darkest behaviors, science and psychology suggest a far more complicated picture. If biology, environment, and experience all shape behavior, how should society judge, or punish, those who may never have had full control over who they became?

Expect to learn what Kathryn learned from her first 4 million-person study, what the evolutionary roots of aggression, dominance, and impulsivity are, if there is a heritability of antisocial behaviour, why punishment is a useful tool for responding to harm, what Kathryn makes of the looksmaxxing movement, and much more…

Scott Solomon is an evolutionary biologist, professor, and author.

Since the earliest days of science fiction, we’ve wondered what it would mean to live on Mars. Today, that question is no longer hypothetical. As humanity moves closer to becoming an interplanetary species, a new question emerges: what happens when humans are born and raised on another world? How would Mars change our bodies, our minds, and the future of evolution?

Expect to learn if it is possible for humans to live on Mars, how humans who were born on Mars will evolve with their new environment, if there have ever been any astronauts who have had sex in space, what being on Mars could do to morph the human brain, and how living in space will change our Biology and much more…

Dr Dani Sulikowski is an evolutionary psychologist, professor, and researcher.

Female intrasexual competition is more ruthless than most people realize. Just when we think we understand how women compete with one another, the rules shift—and the limits move. So how intense is female intrasexual competition really, and what has social media done to amplify it?

Expect to learn what female intrasexual competition is trying to achieve and how it differs from males, why Vogue Magazine said having a boyfriend is cringe now and Dr Sulikowski’s response to that, if reproductive suppression works against men, what some of the more under recognised methods of intrasexual competition that women engage in are, if there are any societal shifts that people are pinning on men that you think are more due to female intrasexual competition and much more…

Charlie Houpert is an entrepreneur and YouTuber.

Why does life tend to teach its hardest lessons just as we think we’ve arrived? We chase the goals, build the lifestyle, tick the boxes, only to discover that emptiness and insecurity still follow us. Ancient philosophers and writers wrestled with this long before we did, encoding the problem into myths that have endured for thousands of years. So what were they trying to show us? And how can those old stories help us reclaim a sense of identity when we feel most lost?

Expect to learn what Charlie’s personal growth journey has been over the past few years, why people feel so disconnected to success when they achieve it, how to balance societal and spiritual fulfillment, what the lessons of history and the power of mythology can teach us about modern problems, how charisma led Charlie to a spiritual breakthrough, what the future of Charisma on Command will look like and much more…

Dave Evans is an entrepreneur, early Apple engineer, former Electronic Arts executive, Stanford lecturer, and author.

How does someone genuinely find meaning in their life? We’re often told that when things feel empty, uncertain, or painful, the answer is to “find more meaning”. But what does that actually mean? Is meaning something we discover, like a hidden truth waiting to be uncovered? Or is it something we construct through choice, responsibility, and attention?

Expect to learn what people actually mean when we’re talking about meaning, the problem people are actually trying to solve when they say they want meaning, how to engineer more meaning into your life, what the difference between the problem-solving world and the meaning-making world is, what the red herrings are in terms of meaning, why so many people become objectively successful and subjectively miserable and much more…
