Description
When I first conceived this podcast many moons ago, I noted Dr. Chris Ryan as one of my dream guests. I lived by (my version) of the “Sex at Dawn” lifestyle for many years, and although my wayward ways have most definitely changed, I strongly align to the core of Dr. Ryan’s thought-provoking literature. Humanity has mutated into a strange and disconnected species of which intimacy to each other and the natural world has been well and truly severed. Chris’s most recent book, “Civilized to Death” is a startling anthology of how bad we’ve torched God’s natural plan. In this episode, we unpack the threads of our existence, the expansiveness of travel, and how we can reclaim a little bit of what we’ve lost. 08:50 — Lessons From a Life on the Road A life fully traveled with “Scarlett Jo-Van-son” The concept of “detribalism” Getting comfortable with being an outsider How progress separates us from life Corporations as living, breathing entities 25:06 — Breaking Down “Sex At Dawn” How I used “Sex at Dawn” to justify my fear of intimacy The aftermath of the book’s publication and reactions Intimacy networks in hunter-gatherer tribes Looking at hunter-gatherers to understand ourselves 41:41 — “Civilized to Death” Why hunter-gatherers were affluent The Affluent Society by John Kenneth Galbraith Natural selection through the ages and around the world Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared M. Diamond The fascinating connection between agriculture and birth rates Why we demonize hunter-gatherer groups 01:03:58 — How Can We Gain From What We Have Lost? Community and health Why treadmills are the enemy Building modern communes Can we integrate psychedelics into the Western world? More about this episode. Watch on YouTube.
