24:55Text “Do people even want to know about some of these issues? Because I think some of the meat production concerns, it's kind of like people would rather in some cases, I think some people might not really want to know all the nitty gritty. They don't want to know how the sausage is made. That poses an interesting question and challenge about how you communicate about some of these issues, when maybe there's a resistance among a subset of people who don't want to know more.” - Patti Truant Anderson This is the fourth episode in a special four-part series where we go deep into the food system with some of the brightest minds from Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, an interdisciplinary center based out of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. One of the reasons that we did this series is because we're about to enter another four years with the Trump administration; and last time, as we know, the Trump administration was pretty terrible for the food system in terms of climate, public health, worker safety, and of course, for the animals. This conversation is with Patty Truant Anderson. Patty is a senior program officer at the center. Part of her work at the Center focuses on public opinion polling around the food system. These polls can inform decisions by lawmakers. The great news is we're not nearly as polarized as it might seem. There is a lot of hope in the results.

With skyrocketing rates of depression, increasing rates of poverty, hostile political radicalism, and so much more, it’s obvious that our modern society is failing us. Unfortunately, we’re struggling to navigate these many personal and social challenges because of a culture that promotes binary thinking (us vs them, black vs white, etc) & influences us to undermine our own well-being. Through controversial freethought, philosophical inquiry, and intellectual rigor, we seek to empower individuals to shape a better world by embracing the challenges and nuances of life's most important questions.

1:23:49Today I’m joined by writer, poet, farmer, and religious scholar, Brendan Graham Dempsey. In this episode, we go over the ideas covered in Brendan’s newest publication, A Universal Learning Process, which is part of his largest series entitled The Evolution of Meaning. This conversation is ultimately an exploration of the field known as complexity science and what it can tell us about how we navigate our lives and build our cultures--especially as it relates to meaning. This takes on a journey through topics such as the meaning crisis, entropy, information theory, evolution, self-awareness, spirituality, the is-ought gap, and much more.

35:20Today I’m joined by Dartmouth social neuroscientist, Mark Thornton. I was drawn to Mark due to my interest in work he did with Princeton's Diana Tamir around what is known as the MAPP–the Multilayer Atlas of Person Prediction. As the name suggests, this MAPP attempts to combine the many social theories that have been developed over scientific history and condense them into a set of related coordinate systems. These coordinate systems track social information such as actions, mental states, personality traits, situations, and relationships. And by combining the coordinate map we make for each of these domains, we can enhance our ability to predict the social world we occupy. See the research on the MAPP at: http://markallenthornton.com/cv/TamirThornton_TiCS_2018.pdf Or find more of Mark's work at his Scrap Lab ** Host: Steven Parton - LinkedIn / Twitter Watch video episodes on Youtube.com/@CuriousApes Join me on our brand new Discord Server for weekly conversation: https://discord.gg/Ek6pKcY8vz…

1:05:27Today we're joined by social psychologist, Sheldon Solomon. Currently based out of Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY, Sheldon has spent roughly 40 years as one of the world’s leading researchers of death. Alongside his colleagues Jeff Greenberg and Tom Pyszczynski , Sheldon established the Terror Management Theory, a rigorous body of scientific literature inspired by the late Ernest Becker’s Pulitzer-prize winning book, The Denial of Death. As a bit of an overview, Sheldon, like Becker, believes that humanity’s unique awareness of their own mortality is a primary motivator for human behavior. And that the meaning-making we partake in during our lives–from creating gods or art, to fighting wars and arguing on twitter-is heavily driven by a desire to fend off our death anxiety. You can find Sheldon's book at: https://www.amazon.com/Worm-Core-Role-Death-Life/dp/1400067472 ** Host: Steven Parton - LinkedIn / Twitter Watch video episodes on Youtube.com/@CuriousApes Join me on our brand new Discord Server for weekly conversation: https://discord.gg/Ek6pKcY8vz…
Today I’m joined by psychologist, physicist, and neuroscientist, Frank Krueger. Based out of George Mason University, where he runs the Social Cognition and Interaction: Functional Imaging lab, Frank’s work primarily focuses on the dynamics of trust, cooperation, altruism. In this episode, we explore these subjects from their evolutionary roots to their modern manifestations. We look at how Frank studies these subjects, some of his latest findings, and even speculate about the future we foresee as we increasingly outsource our truth to artificial intelligence.

1:18:34In this episode I’m joined by neuroscientist Bobby Azarian, who authored the 2022 book, The Romance of Reality: How the Universe Organizes Itself to Create Life, Consciousness, and Cosmic Complexity. I interviewed Bobby two years ago when the book was released, where he explained to me how the second law of thermodynamics creates complexity as a way to increase entropy, and how life itself is a part of that process (see link below). In this episode, you’ll find a discussion that builds on that previous conversation, exploring how this process of complexification imbues the universe with meaning and increasing self-awareness, how Bobby believes this creates an almost spiritual duty for humans to become stewards of the process, how to navigate this process in better or worse ways as our species innovates into the future, and more.

On this episode I'm joined by psychology professor and researcher at the University of Missouri, Ken Sheldon. Ken focuses on a few of my favorite subjects in his research, namely that of personality, motivation, goals, happiness, and well-being. He’s also a leading researcher on the self-determination theory, arguably the world’s leading theory on motivation. Amongst other things, this theory posits that humans have three fundamental psychological needs: that of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. In this episode we explore questions around this theory and others (like the Goal Breakthrough Theory) that Ken is working on, with an emphasis on how these models relate to happiness, AI, free will, modern society, and more.

1:04:08Human Summary: Narcissism researcher Keith Campbell joins me for a very candid discussion on narcissism and the latest findings on the subject. We also explore its connections with anti-fragility and the ways in which technology and academia are failing us. AI Summary: The conversation explores the topic of narcissism, discussing its definition, different forms, causes, and cultural influences. The guest, Keith, explains that narcissism can be understood as a personality trait or a clinical disorder. He distinguishes between grandiose narcissism, characterized by self-centeredness and a need for admiration, and vulnerable narcissism, which combines a sense of entitlement with insecurity. Keith suggests that genetics and early experiences, such as trauma, can contribute to the development of narcissistic traits. The conversation also touches on the cultural factors that may promote or discourage narcissism, including social media and societal values. The conversation explores the concept of communal narcissism and its distinction from grandiose narcissism. It delves into the idea that communal narcissism is more insidious and indirect in its expression, often shaming or ostracizing others. The discussion also touches on the limitations of studying narcissism in niche samples and the challenges of capturing cultural nuances. The conversation then transitions to the topic of the great fantasy migration, which suggests that high narcissism and low trust in the real world are driving people to seek validation and meaning in virtual spaces. The collapse of trusted institutions and the lack of clear societal standards contribute to this phenomenon. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the importance of cultivating meaning and resilience in youth to navigate the complexities of the modern world. In this conversation, Keith and Steven discuss the challenges of raising children in a risk-averse society and the potential connection between exposure to risk and narcissism. They also explore the collapse of institutions and the rise of individualism in the digital age. Keith expresses concern about the impact of technology on young people and suggests that building one's own reality through entrepreneurship and risk-taking may be a path forward. They emphasize the importance of engaging with the world and learning from failure. ** Host: Steven Parton - LinkedIn / Twitter…

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. ** Host: Steven Parton - LinkedIn / Twitter…
