🧠 Episode Summary 

Modern dating isn’t broken because people are lazy; it’s broken because our primal operating system is colliding with an unnatural environment. In this unsparing conversation, evolutionary psychology expert Tim Ash dismantles the myths about gender, power, and purpose.

.

We confront population collapse, the “sexual marketplace,” shadow purpose, and why denying biological asymmetry is wrecking not just relationships, but also leadership and culture!

🧬 The Big Questions We Tackle

• Is civilization sleepwalking into collapse by ignoring biology?

• Can culture override evolutionary asymmetry, or does denial always backfire?

Why It Matters for Leaders

Your primal wiring doesn’t clock out when you walk into the boardroom. Risk, status, provisioning, and belonging drive decisions from mergers to marriages. Understanding this is not optional; it's a matter of survival. Ignore it, and you'll continue to lose trust, culture, and loyalty.
