In this video, I explore Pinker’s groundbreaking ideas through the lens of behavioral genetics, evolutionary psychology, and cognitive science. Together, we’ll uncover how your mind really works, why progress depends on understanding your innate traits, and what this means for gender, politics, and even parenting. Watch this episode next: Journey Out of the Illusion [Part 1] Brace yourself for a bold journey into the heart of what makes you human—and why it’s time to let go of the comforting lies we tell ourselves. Is Pinker too provocative, or is he the realist we all need?
