Polite Conversations

This is part 2 of the previous episode. If you haven’t checked that out yet, I recommend you listen to that first. —— Enjoy another serving of big-brained Evolutionary Psychology takes with our guide, Mr. @evopsychgoogle. In this part we discuss how biology and ‘science’ have been invoked, historically, to keep groups oppressed, whether evopsych is based on a flawed framework or if its just an unfortunate coincidence that it tends to attract people with reactionary views. We also chat about race science in evopsych, the fixation on menstrual cycles, and many more high-level ideas.
