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. To get more from Dr. Christopher Ryan, you
