Scientists recently discovered a fascinating paradox: when they bred together superproductive, egg-laying hens, they found the chickens produced fewer eggs. We examine what went wrong with these so-called superchickens, and we look at human examples of this phenomenon—a high school Model UN team and a retail giant. For more information on this episode, visit natgeo.com/overheard. Want more? David Sloan Wilson's theories on competition and cooperation go far beyond superchickens. Take a look at an article he wrote about rethinking economics on Evonomics.com, a website started by one of his former students. And for more on his work, visit davidsloanwilson.world. Plus, retail has been through a lot over the last 50 years. To learn more about that world from the inside, check out his book, Remarkable Retail: How to Win and Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption, and his podcast, the Remarkable Retail Podcast. And read a Bloomberg article that goes into detail about what happened at Sears. Also explore: Darwin transformed the world with his evolutionary theories. He also got a lot wrong.

A Culture Designed for All Introducing Joe Brewer and Evonomics Looking back through history you could find many examples of capitalism running amuck. There are even recent examples of those with money and power abusing those with less.   This week's guest sees a massive global change coming and hopes he might be able to inspire a cultural design.  Joe Brewer is the co-founder and editor of Evonomics magazine, a research director for TheRules.org and a coordinator for the newly forming Cultural Evolution Society. Joe is a complexity researcher and also an evangelist for the field of cultural design and he hopes to see a transition in society to sustainability. Check out this episode to see why we are where we are in society, how things could change and what that would take in a very interesting episode of the Boiling Point.   In this episode Greg tells us how he sold his cottage with national exposure by “hacking the system”. Greg describes Joe as the ultimate culture hacker. Joe tells us how he became interested in cultural design. Greg tells us how he and Joe first met. Joe tells us why there needs to be an evolution in our current economic system. We learn how the model of economics we have now is based on good ideas that were coopted and other stupid assumptions. We also hear how certain stories and institutions hold up our system. We also learned how an important picture taken decades ago served as an important hack on our stories of separation. Joe dives into a time in the evolution of modern economics called the enclosure movement and how this has led us astray. We learn how co-ops and b-corps are taking us to a more balanced place. We hear how we are at a crux in our culture, which could lead to either a breakdown or a renaissance. We also learn that there is a biological basis for empathy and how the simplest culture hack is to just smile at people.    Links - Joe on Twitter - Joe on Facebook - Joe on Linked In - Joe on Medium - Evonomics Magazine - ChangeStrategistForHumanity.com - TheRules.org   Learn more about your ad choices.
