Dr. Christopher Ryan: Institutions, Tribalism, and Coming of Age

Dr. Christopher Ryan: Institutions, Tribalism, and Coming of Age

Dr. Christopher Ryan is the author of two amazing and polarizing books: Civilized to Death, and Sex at Dawn. He is also the host of the podcast Tangentially Speaking. Dr. Ryan discusses what motivated him in his books, and if now is really the best time to be alive, like most of us assume. He seeks to understand humanity and the decisions we make through an unfiltered lens. In this episode, Dr. Ryan highlights parallels between the social unrest we’re experiencing today with the evolution from hunter gatherer to agricultural societies. He also posits when structures fall, we see people coming together (though we’re taught to assume the opposite). He briefly discusses Bitcoin; that to him is a colossal amount of energy used to do nothing. Lastly, the two discuss the reality of insurance, which Dr. Ryan says demonstrates how every possible thing that could be monetized, is. Jay believes that part of being a great investor means identifying your own biases and social conditioning to uncover your blind spots, so we hope you're able to take something new from this conversation, and enjoy it as much as we did.
