The Children of the Future
Jay Belsky, PhD
-----------
“I don’t know the meaning of life, but I know the purpose of life. It is to create more life.”
- Jay Belsky
We’re cavemen pretending to be academic, political, cerebral, and romantic when really we’re mostly motivated by survival and procreation. This is simultaneously depressing and relieving since it explains away some of our most ridiculous actions. On this week’s podcast, Professor Belsky will share with us his life’s research around adaptation, the importance of fatherhood, and a potential “better way” than the American model for child-rearing.
