Are we putting our ability to progress as a society at risk giving into the primitive mind?
I’m excited for this episode today with Tim Urban, the man that turned his blog into a global movement who is now bringing us a new framework through which to through complex societal issues. You’re possibly one of over 65 million people that watched Tim Urban’s legendary TedTalk, Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator.
Tim is joining me today to introduce ideas from his book, What’s Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies, and this leads into an epic conversation unpacking the primitive mind, woke ideology that has weaponized words, and how the alternative to equal opportunity is possibly a disaster.

QUOTES:
“We live in this advanced civilization where so much of our natural programming tendencies actually hurt us and misfire, so we’re constantly in this kind of tug of war.
“When we have a more accurate picture of the world, we can do more for the world.”
“The fact that there is also subjective experience, which each person kind of has their own, to me that’s part of objective truth. Objective truth is just reality.”
“I see really well-intentioned people get lost in the sequence of, every answer is going to be nuanced and nuance is very hard if you can’t talk out loud.” -Tom Bilyeu
“The dictator and their little consortium have the power to do what they want, so they do and other people don’t so they can’t.”
“It’s a very disempowering thing to teach kids that this country, because there is inequality, is inherently oppressive and I think it is just demotivating.”
“What concerns me about our current political environment is that we have so many hard problems ahead, big discussions we have to have as a species, and our society has to be able to have its wits about us. We have to have our wits about us going into this future where we’re getting more godlike power and be wise about it because the stakes are going up.”
