Podcast appearances and mentions of James Harden

Dr. Kathryn Paige Harden is a psychologist and behavioural geneticist, Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and an author. Are people born evil, or does evil emerge from circumstance? While we tend to blame genetics for humanity's darkest behaviors, science and psychology suggest a far more complicated picture. If biology, environment, and experience all shape behavior, how should society judge, or punish, those who may never have had full control over who they became? Expect to learn what Kathryn learned from her first 4 million-person study, what the evolutionary roots of aggression, dominance, and impulsivity are, if there is a heritability of antisocial behaviour, why punishment is a useful tool for responding to harm, what Kathryn makes of the looksmaxxing movement, and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: ⁠https://chriswillx.com/deals⁠ Get a free bottle of D3K2, an AG1 Welcome Kit, and more when you first subscribe at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom New pricing since recording: Function is now just $365, plus get $25 off at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get 35% off your first subscription on the best supplements from Momentous at https://livemomentous.com/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: ⁠https://chriswillx.com/books⁠ Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: ⁠https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom⁠ Check out Kathryn's book: https://tinyurl.com/msd53w6s Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59⁠ #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf⁠ #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp⁠ - Get In Touch: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast⁠ Email: ⁠https://chriswillx.com/contact⁠ - Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I sit down with behavioral geneticist and professor Dr. Kathryn Paige Harden to talk about what behavioral genetics can actually tell us about our kids—and what it can't. We unpack the reality of psychiatric risk, family history, and the limits of control, and why genes are not destiny. We discuss how thousands of tiny genetic differences shape mental health, why diagnoses are messier than we think, and how warmth and firm boundaries still matter more than any “magic bullet.”I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler closed out the February schedule on the Cash That Ticket podcast with another winning recap, noting a 2-0 night on Thursday and a combined 19-5 run in best bets for the month, including a perfect 7-0 week to that point. They revisited Manji's Pelicans team total over 123.5 and Essler's Derrick Jones Jr. points prop over 10.5, highlighting lineup news that helped the play and Jones Jr. leading the Clippers with 18 points. The Friday NBA discussion opened with Cleveland at Detroit, a short slate night, where both hosts leaned toward taking the points with the Cavaliers despite Donovan Mitchell being ruled out. Essler cited market movement toward Cleveland and suggested expectations that James Harden and Dennis Schroeder would play, while noting Cleveland's interior defense could blunt Detroit's paint scoring and force more jump shooting. Manji agreed, emphasizing Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen as rim protection anchors, calling the number a stretch for Detroit, and adding an under lean at 227.5 alongside Cleveland plus the points. The second featured matchup was Denver at Oklahoma City, with the Thunder favored by 8.5 and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returning after missing time. Essler acknowledged the “OKC tax” but sided with Denver's value as a road underdog, referencing recent outright wins and competitive results in similar spots, and leaned under, arguing Oklahoma City's defense should hold even if offensive timing was imperfect. Manji also took the points, describing division familiarity and motivation, and pointed to Nikola Jokic rebound and assist related props as potential angles, especially if Jamal Murray were unavailable. The episode then shifted to MLB win totals, starting with Cleveland's 79.5. Essler praised the Guardians' manager and prior overachievement on a low payroll, but argued the roster could regress, questioning the rotation depth behind Gavin Williams and the lineup's run production, and leaning under as other AL Central teams improved. Manji echoed concerns, saying Cleveland's offense has often lagged, that last season's division outcome owed partly to Detroit's stumble, and that the win total could be tight but tilted under. They followed with Arizona's 79.5, where Essler leaned under again, citing pitching uncertainty without Corbin Burns until midseason, concerns about bullpen reliability, and skepticism that additions like Nolan Arenado and Carlos Santana would be enough, especially with age and recent production trends. Manji countered with an over, arguing a change of scenery could help Arenado, that the lineup had recognizable depth, and that Arizona could stay competitive long enough to benefit from Burns returning and possible in-season pitching upgrades. The show delivered a promo code for pregame.com, FastBreak20, for 20 percent off through March 8, and discussed the value of longer-term packages over daily buying given natural variance. For best bets, Essler went with Cameron Johnson over 18.5 PRA in the Denver-OKC game, citing elevated minutes and potential opportunity depending on Murray's status, while Manji backed Boston Celtics first half minus 10.5 versus Brooklyn, citing Boston's bounce-back profile after losses and Brooklyn's back-to-back road situation. They wrapped by reiterating disciplined bankroll management and their focus on providing serious, vetted information even in a free format. Learn more about your ad choices.

The East is wide open, and the West might be too. Mo Mooncey and Coach Brendan Suhr break down the biggest questions that will define the rest of this NBA season, starting with whether James Harden can finally shake his playoff reputation after a blistering 5-1 start in Cleveland. Is this the best chance he's ever had to win a ring?Then they go deep on a question nobody's really answering: can the Pistons or Spurs reach the Finals without any real playoff experience? Coach Suhr has a strong take - and Mo might have an even stronger one when it comes to Wembanyama and the Spurs' ceiling. Plus, the Jayson Tatum return conspiracy theory is building and the evidence is hard to ignore. Is it happening?They also get into why the Houston Rockets' front office has failed this season despite having months to address the point guard hole, the Charlotte Hornets' stunning emergence as a legitimate force, why the Bucks keep winning games they're supposed to be tanking, and who deserves Coach of the Year. Mo and Coach don't agree on everything - and that's what makes it worth listening to.

On this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor react to the Cleveland Cavaliers' 118-116 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and break down why Jarrett Allen's dominant stretch has become more than just a bright spot during an injury-riddled run. With James Harden now dealing with a fractured right thumb and both Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley sidelined, Allen's consistency has shifted from complementary force to nightly anchor. The conversation dives into the Harden dilemma — reps versus recovery — and what Cleveland's short-handed identity revealed in Milwaukee. They also spotlight the impact of role players like Dennis Schröder, while debating whether Allen's two-way dominance, efficiency and durability have separated him from the rest of the East for the month of February. Friday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons is a test of physicality and defensive resolve against Cade Cunningham and a surging Detroit group for the Cavs. For Allen, it could be the final data point voters remember and a chance to punctuate a month that's already elevated his national standing.

It was a loaded hour of basketball drama and sports philosophy. The Knicks' offense stalled again, Karl-Anthony Towns disappeared, and the finger-pointing is officially underway. Is it on KAT for not demanding the ball, on the coach for not forcing the issue, or on Jalen Brunson for slipping into hero ball instead of running the team? Plus, a major playoff wrinkle: Mitchell Robinson's impact raises a real question about whether the Knicks' starting lineup needs to change when games actually matter. Then the focus shifts to Cleveland, where the addition of James Harden suddenly has people rethinking the Eastern Conference hierarchy. Are the Cavaliers finally a legitimate threat, or is this just another chapter in Harden's long history of regular-season hype and postseason disappointment? Knicks fans weigh in on whether they fear Cleveland at all and how the East really stacks up right now. The conversation takes a surprising turn into a heated debate about legacy and loyalty: what matters more to athletes, winning for their country or winning for their franchise? With Olympic baseball on the horizon and the World Baseball Classic looming, the guys ask how New York would react if a star like Aaron Judge ever said a gold medal meant more than a World Series. The answer might not be pretty. From lineup decisions to contender credibility to the emotional divide between fans and players, this hour covers everything fueling the current sports conversation.

This week on OPPOSITION TERRITORY, Jeff sat down with Jackson Flickenger from SB Nation's FearTheSword.com to discuss this Cleveland Cavaliers team, the vibes after the trade deadline, and how they may fare down the stretch of this NBA season. James Harden certainly has taken the offense to the next level, and Jarrett Allen is having the best year of his career. What's the chemistry going to look like between Evan Mobley and Harden? How might it all come together for the Cavs, and what obstacles might persist for this team?
