How did the female body drive 200 million years of human evolution? • Why do women live longer than men? • Why are women more likely to get Alzheimer’s? • Why do girls score better at every academic subject than boys until puberty, when suddenly their scores plummet? • Is sexism useful for evolution? • And why, seriously why, do women have to sweat through our sheets every night when we hit men...

    I've hitchhiked 12000 miles +/- around the US and come across some characters that's for sure. Being homeless will cut a lot of cobwebs from your eyes. I didn't run into Dick but the article about him in the New Yorker has been a favorite, i've got it rolled up here someplace. I bought the book The Riverman, and it's a fair assessment of what might have happened with him. And of who he might have been in his own mind. I think anyone like me, like Dick, who just drops out and goes ''walkabout'' is seeking life. I just won't be shackled to a job anymore. They say people quit bosses, not jobs, and I think they're right. I liked the narrative, I liked the descriptions of his adventures and so on.

    Women have contributed much more to the goodness of life than their biological role. Perhaps we shouldn't burden them with the attribution of 'human evolution' as that is still up for debate since we are essentially a failed species. Let's stop DEI'ing them into fictional roles of 'strong female leads'...let's stop accepting Zoomer terms like 'tradwife'. Let's recognize the real examples of female heroics and strength. PLEASE!

    Your mocking of Chau at 21:07 is distasteful. Whether or not you agree with his beliefs is one thing, but to say that the Sentinelese killed him because they weren't interested in his beliefs is a wrong assumption. They obviously didn't know what he believed. What they knew is that he seemed to be a threat to them and that is why they killed him. It had nothing to do with his beliefs because they were not aware of his beliefs.

    Thanks for this post featuring Carol Diehl talking about her book “Banksy: Completed.” Your video is full of interesting insights and information. Along with the many; I am a fan/follower of Banksy and his continuing extravagant and provocative artistic expressions. Banksy is a true “Outlaw” in the best possible way and a courageous anti-establishment radical. I was able to see his piece “Sphinx” at Art Miami in 2014. The gallerist suggested to me that Banksy is not a single entity but quite possibly multiple people working in coordination all over the world. He is definitely working with a team of fellows. I just ordered Carol’s book from Amazon and am looking forward to it’s arrival. All the Best to you both and continuing success!

Check out Stephanie Kelton's "The Deficit Myth" or any MMT videos available on RUclips. Many other good books on MMT can be found, but Dr. Kelton's is good one to start with.
