Podcasts about Nature Nurture

Are we shaped by our genes or by our environment? For centuries, this question has fueled one of science's most enduring debates. But the truth is more shocking—and more fascinating—than either side ever imagined. Princeton professor Dalton Conley reveals why we need to abandon the idea of "nature vs. nurture" and embrace a radically new understanding of human development.

Andrew described TJ to me as considerate, wise, thoughtful, and with an off-the-charts EQ.  But beyond these specific qualities, Andrew clearly regards TJ as simply one of the most high quality people that he's ever worked with.  I find this kind of recommendation - one regular, everyday guy who sees another regular, everyday guy being extraordinary with that very ordinary slice of life known as "work" - to be very compelling, so I entered my conversation with TJ hoping to learn how he became a person that my friend Andrew so highly respected.

Today's guest is Max Rempel, Molecular Biologist and PHD.  Open Loops has a PhD on the show?!?! It wouldn't be the first time a true academic and practitioner came on the show....it's more that after 280 episodes of shamelessly fringe madness, Greg's just shocked he can get one back!  Max must've never listened to it.That said, don't let the title fool you. Dr. Rempel sees through the matrix, he's explored the depths of consciousness, had experiences that contradict empirical material understanding of reality, and most importantly...he thinks he might be able to prove that aliens interfered with your DNA.  That Junk (DNA) in your Trunk (you) is untapped knowledge that may explain the very fabric of our universe, our untapped abilities, and reveal hidden knowledge about our place in the universe.  Are you carrying extraterrestrial signatures in your genes? Want to learn how you can find out?Max tells all in this mind-bendingly explosive conversation that'll Schumann resonate for skeptics and believers alike!  Max's Links: xg1.orgdnaresonance.orgmaxrempel.comhumancolony.org Let Greg know how you like the show.

"If these moss walls could talk!” "It's almost more important to listen to plants than it is to talk to them." "Nature makes people happy. It just does in all of its wonderful forms." Today's guest, Kasey Riley, co-founder of the Fat Plant Society, loves to communicate with nature, kind of like my grandfather used to. My dad says it's discovering an untold story of the way that the world should be. In honor of world environment day I'm bringing you a very special guest! Kasey shares her journey from a childhood fascination with wildflowers to co-founding a business that specializes in low-maintenance moss installations. She credits her husband, Morten Klinte, for igniting her passion and transforming their home into a lush, green oasis. From the intricacies of growing Namibian bottle trees to the innovative use of dormant moss, Kasey's story is a fascinating dive into the world of sustainable greenery. We explore the various applications of moss, from residential installations to full walls in corporate settings. Kasey also discusses the emotional and psychological benefits of having greenery in our environments, supported by studies on attention restoration and well-being. The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as Kasey reflects on the lessons learned from her parents and the importance of "partner pal behavior" in maintaining respectful and loving relationships. We also touch on the potential of green burials and the unique qualities of moss that make it a sustainable choice for various applications. Join us for an episode filled with personal anecdotes, practical advice, and a celebration of the natural world.

As I live the typical chaotic life in LA, my thoughts often drift back to the serene landscapes of my Polish heritage, a stark contrast to the urban grind. That yearning for nature's calm and how impactful it is on our health is what I dive into today with my guest, Dr. Josh Axe, in this episode on Biohacking Bestie. Dr. Axe emphasizes how engaging in outdoor activities can help in biohacking practices and nurture the nervous system – as well as the importance of addressing the root causes of health issues, and advocating for an environment that supports our physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. We also discuss the importance of strengthening the body internally rather than solely focusing on treating symptoms with external solutions. Dr. Josh Axe is a doctor of natural medicine and a clinical nutritionist with a passion for helping people get healthy by using food as medicine. He founded one of the largest functional medicine clinics in the United States and runs the popular health website www.draxe.com, where you can find recipes, natural remedies, videos, nutrition advice, and fitness tips. Dr. Axe is a board-certified doctor of natural medicine (DNM), earned his doctorate in chiropractic at Palmer College (DC), and is a certified nutrition specialist (CNS) from the American College of Nutrition.Listen as we discuss…(00:00) Living in Nature(03:30) Environment, Mindset, and Health(15:41) Fatherhood and Identity Issues(22:48) The Importance of Purpose and Becoming(34:31) Overcoming Limiting Beliefs Through Success(44:45) Navigating Relationships and Personalized Nutrition(50:56) Nutrient-Dense Foods and Ideal Farming(57:34) Holistic Approach to Health and Healing(01:05:25) Promotion of "Think This, Not That"… and more!

Rob Henderson joins the podcast to talk about his book Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class. The conversation starts with a discussion about the recent controversy in which Rob was unable to find a book store that would host his launch. Rob also shares insights into his writing style, which focuses on conveying his experiences in a matter-of-fact way rather than dwelling on his internal emotional state. Richard then questions him about the story of his biological parents, and whether he would ever want to reconnect with them, particularly the Korean grandfather who started out as a police detective and then struck it rich as the owner of a fertilizer company. The two go on to discuss other aspects of Rob's life story, including what the friends he grew up with think of his success, what it was like in the military, including stints in Qatar and Kyrgyzstan, and when he began questioning elite narratives surrounding issues like the importance of family stability and personal responsibility. Finally, Rob talks about what is next for him now that the book promotion tour is winding down. Get full access to Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology at www.cspicenter.com/subscribe

Subscribe at https://aidaily.us---Success, an aspiration for many, is often perceived as a product of relentless hard work and innate talent. However, a deeper exploration into the roots of achievement reveals a more complex blend of factors: nature, nurture, and an element frequently overlooked—luck. This triad forms the cornerstone of success, weaving together the fabric of one's persona and the opportunities that come their way.Nature and nurture serve as the foundation of our being. Nature, the intrinsic qualities we're born with, intertwines with nurture—the external influences and environments that shape us. Together, they mold our character, our strengths, our weaknesses, and our perspectives. Yet, it's the third element, luck, that often casts the deciding vote in the symphony of success. Luck represents the serendipitous opportunities that unexpectedly cross our paths, the right moments that connect us with the right people, and the chances that are ripe for seizing.Contrary to the notion of luck as mere happenstance, it's suggested that one can cultivate their own fortune. Engaging with the world, building a network, and sharing one's story can significantly amplify the likelihood of encountering these pivotal moments. The digital age, with platforms like YouTube, social media, and various online communities, presents fertile ground for expanding one's reach and visibility, thereby enhancing the odds of stumbling upon transformative opportunities.This perspective challenges the traditional view of success as a linear journey, marked solely by personal effort and inherent abilities. It acknowledges the unpredictable yet potent role of external factors and the support of others in propelling individuals towards their aspirations. Embracing a more extroverted and communicative approach to life encourages the cultivation of a broader audience and community, setting the stage for luck to play its part.In conclusion, the journey to success is a mosaic of one's nature, the influences of their upbringing, and the fortuitous breaks that life offers. While we may not have control over every aspect of our lives, there's empowerment in knowing that through active engagement and openness to the world around us, we can indeed sway the scales of fortune in our favor. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support

Interview by Kris PetersMelbourne punk upstarts Clowns have epitomised the fun and frivolous side of Australian music since their inception in 2009.Their attitude towards music, coupled with almost legendary live performances, has seen Clowns rise quickly to prominence and notoriety, with their honest and raw appraisal of life through music connecting on a global scale.After receiving an ARIA nomination for their previous album Nature/Nurture in 2019, Clowns have just unleashed their latest slab of goodness in the form of Endless, a middle finger salute to the pandemic during which it was conceived and a snub to the face of those who thought that period of time would spell the death knell for a plethora of bands and musicians.HEAVY sat down with vocalist Stevie Williams and drummer Jake Laderman to talk through what to expect."It feels like I'm about to…," Williams measured, "… I don't have any kids, but this is what I imagine preparing for a child would feel like (laughs). Years and years of creative energy and the world going upside down from when we started writing it to when we finished recording and releasing it, but now it's here. It's satisfying and maybe a little bit emotional. I can't wait for it to be out in the world and not be our record anymore. It's gonna be whoever listens to its record."Endless is the fifth album release from Clowns, so we ask the question of whether the process gets any easier the more albums you put out."It definitely gets harder," Williams answered without thought. "I feel like when we started the band we were so inspired to get our music career off the ground and there was so much… I guess you would call it creative, low-hanging fruit when we were starting a punk band. We wanted to write a song that had screaming in it, we wanted a song that sounded like The Ramones, we wanted a song that sounded like the Offspring and then once we did an EP and four seven inches and now five albums, now we're reaching super high up to the top of the tree to get that sweet fruit, and we're doing Spaghetti Western eight-minute jams at the end of our record. We're fucking around with thrash metal and dual guitar solos, all in an effort to keep it interesting for ourselves and the people who listen as well. In that essence, it gets harder. It gets way harder (laughs)."In the full interview, the boys talk more about what to expect from Endless, how the singles released represent the album as a whole, the opening piano intro and why it was used, the central theme of immortality, the closing track A Widow's Song and the inspiration behind it, how Endless differs musically to Nature/Nature, upcoming shows and more.

"What are you afraid of? Is it innate, or did someone introduce that fear and anxiety to you?" Join us on an enlightening, diving deep into anxiety disorders with Ken Loftus. "We've all experienced it," Ken began, "That sudden jolt of fear when you see a spider, or a puppy, or someone different from you. But where does it come from?  Evolutionary psychology tells us it's all about survival. Our brains have been wired over millions of years to detect threats - but how accurately?" He delved into the butterfly effect and how our early experiences might shape specific phobias. "Our irrational fears, like believing something's too hot without touching or fearing someone from a different culture, stem from our primal need to survive," he explained. "Our senses are our primary tools. Yet, while we rely on them to navigate our world, they also shape our worldviews, sometimes inaccurately."  Ken painted a vivid picture. "Imagine seeing a spider. For some, it triggers childhood memories, core beliefs, and even revives age-old evolutionary fears. But is this nature or nurture? Are we echoing sentiments from 2.5 million years ago?" He continued, "imagine an adult freaking out about a puppy. The immediate reaction is embarrassment. That spirals into thoughts like, 'I shouldn't feel this way,' which cascades into 'I'm worthless.' Such spirals are dangerous." With clarity, he described the mind's complex operations. "Your brain," he began, sketching a big circle on a whiteboard, "is continuously calculating. A smaller circle within represents our consciousness. When the optic nerve perceives a threat, like a dog, the brain reacts in nanoseconds."  Using socratic questioning, he encouraged the audience to challenge their fears. "When was the last time someone you knew was harmed by a dog? Or by a spider?" He concluded, "Our fears, no matter how irrational they seem, have a basis. Understanding that basis, whether it's evolutionary or learned, is the key to addressing it." The episode will leave you with a newfound understanding of fears and a toolkit to navigate them, emphasizing awareness, questioning, and self-compassion. Socratic questioning is a method used to encourage deep thinking and self-reflection. Here are some Socratic questions you can use to understand a fear or anxiety you might be facing:1.Defining the Fear/Anxiety•What exactly am I afraid of or anxious about?•Can I describe the specific situations or triggers that bring on this fear or anxiety?•When did I first notice this fear or anxiety?2.Understanding the Basis•Why do I feel this way?•Are there past experiences that might have contributed to this feeling?•What beliefs or thoughts are underpinning this fear or anxiety?3.Testing Reality•What evidence do I have that supports this fear or anxiety?•Conversely, what evidence do I have that contradicts or challenges it?•Has there ever been a time when I faced this fear or anxiety and it didn't come to fruition?4.Understanding Impact•How does this fear or anxiety affect my daily life, decisions, or relationships?•What might happen if I didn't have this fear or anxiety?•Are there benefits to holding onto this fear or anxiety? If so, what are they?5.Assessing Coping Mechanisms•How have I coped with this fear or anxiety in the past?•Which coping strategies have been effective, and which haven't?•Are there healthier ways I could manage or confront this fear or anxiety?6.Looking at Alternative Perspectives•How would someone else view this situation?•What would I tell a friend who had thisSupport the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

LONG PAUSE… Amidst the hustle and bustle of life's demands, we can often forget to take care of ourselves.  Caught up in the rush and the flurry of plans, our well-being is often put on the back shelves. PAUSE… But in nature's embrace, we find a way to connect with our souls and find our calm. To breathe in the scents of a brand new day, and let go of all our worries and thoughts. PAUSE… The rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, the soft swaying of trees in the breeze,  All seem to whisper comforting words, and bring us back to a state of ease. As we walk through the fields and the woods, we're reminded of the beauty around us,  The things that bring us joy and good, and the peace that lies deep within our hearts. PAUSE… Namaste, Beautiful

There's a constant debate between nature and nurture. Is it because of my genes that I behave the way I do, or is it because of my environment, like the foods I eat and the places I live? This is a question on the minds of many reflecting on their health, especially for parents concerned for the health of their children. Nutrition is essential for child development, but not only for building strong bones. Nutrition is critical for strong brain development, particularly learning and memory, from conception to adolescence.

In Episode 2 of Series 4 of the DIAL Podcast, we are in discussion with Professor Hans van Kippersluis from the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. Hans, a professor of applied economics, is the Principal Investigator on the DIAL project, Gene Environment Interplay in the Generation of Health and Education Inequalities, which has used innovative methods and data to explore the interplay between nature and nurture in generating health and education inequalities.   Transcript Christine Garrington  0:00   Welcome to DIAL, a podcast where we tune in to evidence on inequality over the life course. In series four, we're looking at what's been learned from some of the DIAL projects about how and when inequality manifests in our lives, and what its longer term consequences might be. For this second episode of the series, we're delighted to be joined by Hans van Kippersluis, Professor of Applied Economics at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. And Principal Investigator of the DIAL project, Gene Environment Interplay in the Generation of Health and Education Inequalities - put more simply nature versus nurture. So Hans, welcome to the podcast. And I wonder if you can start by talking us through what researchers working on this project have actually been looking into. Hans van Kippersluis  0:42   What we've been doing in this project is essentially incorporating the recent availability of genetic data into social science and most prominently economic analysis. And so most of our work has focused on the interplay between genes and the environment. So in the introduction, you mentioned nature versus nurture, but actually more accurately, what we're doing is nature and nurture jointly into how they shape essentially education and health outcomes. And I think this is also the main innovation of our project, because biologists have studied nature before; social scientists have  of course, extensively studied nurture, but not many have studied the interplay, the interaction between the two. And I think this was sort of the main innovation for why we got the funding some five years ago. And so what we have done is mostly studying this interplay. But along the way, we have also made some methodological contributions to a field which is very new. Then we've also used genetic data to test all their theories, and also, I think, enrich the framework of equality of opportunity. Christine Garrington  1:35   Yeah, fantastic project. And as you've just said, you've made unprecedented use of genomic as well as survey data in the research, tell us a bit more about the information that you've been able to access? And how you've been able to use it? Hans van Kippersluis 1:47   Yeah, sure. So the interesting thing is that more and more social science datasets, so data sets that have been traditionally used by social scientists, and these are mostly extensive surveys,  are now collecting DNA information from their respondents. And this is often from blood or saliva. And what they did is basically, so more than 99% of DNA is the same across human beings. And so what we are using is only this remaining less than 1% of the variation. And these are called snips. And snips are points of your DNA that differ across human beings. And there's roughly 1 million of them. And so what we do, basically also other people have done is sort of aggregating these tiny effect sizes into an index. And this is called the polygenic index. And this is telling us something about your genetic predisposition towards a certain outcome. And this is quite interesting, because this data, this new variable, essentially can be added to existing datasets. And so we have a wealth of information that has been collected in the past on surveys on existing data. And then we simply add one indicator, one new variable. This is telling us something about people's genetic predisposition. And just to be clear, this is not like a deterministic variable. It also exhibits quite a bit of measurement error and noise. But at the group level, and that's what we have been doing is it sort of does tell us something about your genetic predisposition, and it can help us understand how certain life outcomes like education, like health, are shaped by the interplay between your genetic predisposition and your environment. Christine Garrington  3:07   Indeed, let's talk a little bit now then about some of the research findings. And you know, what's come out of this now, one piece of research we've spoken about this actually, in an earlier podcast episode, actually drew links between mothers smoking in pregnancy and their baby's birth weight. I wonder if you can just sort of summarise that for you what actually came out of that what we learned Hans van Kippersluis 3:28   this was work with with my PG students, Rita Dias Pereira and colleague Cornelius Rietveld. And for birthweight we knew that maternal smoking is one of the key environmental risk factors. And we also knew from genetic studies that genes matter in determining your birth weight. And so what we did here was essentially looking at the interaction between the two. So can higher polygenic indices protect against maternal smoking? And the answer, unfortunately, perhaps was no, in the sense that we found very, very little interaction between genes and the environmental exposure of maternal smoking. So it seems that both matter, but there doesn't seem to be any meaningful interaction between the two. So that was, to some extent surprising, but on the other hand, also perhaps logical in the sense that maternal smoking is apparently such a devastating environmental exposure that even higher genetic predisposition cannot protect you from this. Christine Garrington  4:16   Yeah, really interesting. And anybody who's interested in that can listen to Rita actually discussing that in series three, Episode Seven, of our DIAL podcast called Mums Who Smoke and their Baby's Birthweight. So do check that out if you're interested to know a little bit more about what Rita and all of the all of your colleagues did. Now, there have been some interesting findings Hans from the project around the role of genes in a child's education and specifically around parental investments. I wonder if you can explain a bit more about what you were looking to understand there.  Hans van Kippersluis 4:50   Yes, yeah, so this is one of my favourites studies. It's joint work. Also with another PG student   Muslimova and my colleagues Stephanie von Hinke, Cornelius Rietveld and Fleur Maddens. And the starting point there was actually a theory of human capital formation from economics. And it dates back all the way to the work of Nobel laureate Gary Becker. And one of the crucial assumptions in that model is that parental investments are complementary to your genetic endowments. And this assumption is actually very hard to test because often we do not have a good measure of endowments. And if we do, it may already be contaminated by parental investment. So many people, for example, use birth weights. But of course, well as we just learned, maternal smoking may have a large effect on your birth weight, so it's not fully free of your parents' behaviour. And the other thing is that your parental investments often respond to endowments. So if you have a child with specific needs, of course, parents respond to this. So the problem of testing this assumption is that endowments and investments are actually always very closely entangled. And that makes it very hard to test whether they are complementary or not. So what we did here was using one's genetic endowment, and that is actually has a very nice property and that it's fixed at conception, so it cannot be affected by your parental investments. And what we did was using the child's birth order to proxy for parental investments. So what we know from earlier studies is that firstborns tend to get more parental attentions on average than later points. So this is one after all, because they have undivided attention until the arrival of later borns. And this extra parental investment is actually independent of your endowments. It simply derives from the fact that you have more time if you have one child as opposed to multiple children. So what we did in this study is looking within families comparing siblings that were first born to later borns, and then further analysing whether this firstborn advantage was stronger for firstborn siblings who randomly inherited the higher polygenic index for educatio. I think this was a nice, very unique setting to test this theoretical assumption that parental investments are complements to genetic endowment. Christine Garrington  6:45   What did you find here? Then what do we learn about the role of genetics in affording in affording certain children advantages later on in life? Hans van Kippersluis 6:53   So what we found was that indeed, the firstborn effect seems to be stronger for siblings who randomly inherited higher polygenic indices. And I think this is evidence in favour of this theoretical assumption of complementarity between endowments and investments. And it also means that your genetic predisposition cannot just give you a direct advantage. But it also means that this advantage may be kind of amplified by your parental or your teacher investments. And this complementarity, I think also suggests once again, that for disadvantaged children, so the other side of the coin, we need to start very, very early and follow up these early investments also with data investments to make them as productive as possible. Christine Garrington  7:29   So Hans, some fascinating research and findings. I wonder if there's been a standout or surprising finding for you from the project.  Hans van Kippersluis 7:36   I  think methodologically, what we've learned is that there's still a world to explore in terms of using genetic data in social science, because what we have seen is that polygenic indices can be a great tool to improve our understanding of the things we just talked about. But I think the way we use these polygenic indices, are shall I put this sort of a bit naive, in some sense, because what we do is we first construct a score or an index by regressing an outcome on all of these 1 million individual genetic variants. And as you can imagine, if you do these 1 million regressions, then it will be a lot of noise in  these coefficients, and these estimates also come with some uncertainty. And what is surprising to me, what I've learned is that many researchers simply sort of seek to use this polygenic index as if it's some kind of a transferable and deterministic index. And there's hardly any account in the literature on the uncertainty in this index. And I think what we have done in one paper is actually showing how this uncertainty is sort of leading to different conclusions, because what we did is basically looking at the polygenic index for cardiovascular disease. And in cardiovascular disease, more and more people are using these polygenic indices, this genetic data for personalised decisions regarding, for example, the use of statins. And what we did was sort of constructing six different polygenic indices using different discovery sample using different methods of constructing this polygenic index. And what was fascinating and actually maybe astonishing to see is that only 6% of the individuals are in the top quintile of the polygenic indices, if you look across these six different ways of constructing the same polygenic index. And I think this is fascinating, because it shows that even though polygenic indices are now increasingly being used, apparently it matters a great deal about how you construct these things. And this is one thing we have shown, I think this is quite remarkable, and also an important methodological contribution. Christine Garrington  9:19   A really important contribution to how this research might develop in the future. Right, absolutely. And then just finally, Hans, I wonder what this all of this work tells us about the interplay between genes in our environment, or, as we've talked about nature and nurture, not nature versus nurture, in better understanding and in tackling inequality. Hans van Kippersluis 9:41   So it's very hard, I think, to give sort of direct policy leads or implications, but there's a few leads. One thing is that I think we need to start early. We knew already that inequalities arise early in life. And I think this focus on genetics gives us yet another clue that it's very important to start early. And also because of the work I mentioned about complementarities, it's very clear that later investments are more effective if the person has had already more investments early in their life. So that's clearly one more general policy implication, I think. And I think our work is also showing how sort of genes and environment shaping jointly inequalities. And I think this has important implications for the discussions about equality of opportunity. I mean, if you look at politicians across the entire political spectrum, everybody seems to be agreeing that equality of opportunity is a great thing, and that your health and your income should not depend on your parental background. But let me ask two questions about this. One is, what about your genes? There's hardly any discussion about whether inequalities that are deriving from genetic advantages or disadvantages are fair or not. And what we've also shown in this project is that parental background seems to reinforce genetic advantages. So even if you believe that parental background should not be leading to inequalities and your genes may, then how do you treat the interaction between the two? So I think we should have a clear discussion here a societal discussion about what is fair here. And I think that's why our research is very important, because 30 years studies have already shown that people's preferences for redistribution, for example, depends strongly on whether they perceive inequalities as fair or unfair. So I don't think we are political activists here. But I do think that showing how genes and the environment jointly shape outcomes such as health, education, income, but really help people to make up their own mind as to what they regard as fair or unfair inequalities. Christine Garrington  11:23   Hans thank you very much some some big advances here. But still some big questions to answer, I guess is the is the summary but fascinating work and thank you for taking time to share it with us. So finally, thanks to Hans van Kippersluis  for discussing the findings and implications of DIAL dial project Gene Environment Interplay in the Generation of Health and Education Inequalities.

Je hebt 'nature' en je hebt 'nurture', maar onderzoek naar het leergedrag van identieke fruitvliegjes laat zien dat er ook nog een derde factor moet zijn: willekeur. Eerder was al opgevallen dat zelfs als fruitvliegjes genetische vrijwel identiek zijn en ze in dezelfde omstandigheden zijn opgegroeid, er toch verschillen in gedrag worden gezien. Denk aan: de voorkeur voor bepaalde geuren, of de keuze om naar het licht te vliegen of het donker bijvoorbeeld. Hier gaat het om spontaan, instinctief gedrag, maar in dit onderzoek wilden ze weten: zien we die verschillen ook in aangeleerd gedrag?  In deze audio hoor je Harvard-onderzoeker Benjamin de Bivort.

On today's episode we'll be talking about one of most fundamental aspects of being able to live a happy and healthy life – and that's our wellbeing. Specifically, we'll be looking at how nature can have such an important part to play in helping us to achieve this. From Random Acts Of Wildness to meditation, the power of volunteering to the importance of instilling a love of nature in our children, we hope there will be something that everyone can find useful on their own personal journey to enhancing their sense of wellbeing.

This week we discuss the nature vs nurture debate and how it applies to our lives. We find it fascinating how both our genetics and our environment have shaped who we are today. We reflect on how our families, our education, and where we grew up, have impacted our personalities and outlooks on the world. It's important to look beyond the beliefs we grew up with, as personal growth comes with new experiences.

In our second installment of our three part Game of Thrones series we are are discussing House Targaryen, House Bolton, House Mormont and House Greyjoy. Just like our last episode there is a huge SPOILER ALERT ahead! Proceed with caution and enjoy our...

Are we born or made? The question of nature versus nurture is an old one but advancements in genetics and twin studies have given us new insight into this age old question. Genes are part of who we are but it is our environment which not only shapes our behaviour, but also determines how genes behave and whether they even turn on or off. We explore the state of the art understanding of how genes and environment together influence who we are and who we might become. Show notesSir Francis GaltonHistory of eugenicsBlueprint: How DNA makes us who we areThe top replicated findings from behaviour geneticsNature vs. nurture in psychologyWhat is CRISPR?https://www.facebook.com/thehereandnowpodcast/ https://twitter.com/herenowpodcast emailthehereandnow@gmail.com  Royalty Free Music from https://audiohub.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thehereandnowpodcast)

The Sexual Avoidance Cycle Revisited: The Dangers of ‘Sexpectations' Today we are going to revisit the Sexual Avoidance Cycle; more specifically, we are going to talk about the Disappointment Phase of the Cycle in order to pinpoint the harmful effects of expectations. That is, what happens when we have grand visions and plans for a sexual experience, and it falls below our expectation level? As is common, we experience disappointment which can compound into further sexual complications in a relationship. This was discussed as well in episode #40 (another soapbox installment!). Using this concept as a springboard for conversation, this episode will briefly cover a wide array of instances where sexual expectations (sexpectations) can sabotage our sex lives. In addition, porn (the usual suspect), makes another appearance. I will analyze, not from a moral standpoint, but a psychologically-reinforcing basis, the negative effect that porn has on creating unrealistic expectations. I will also do a short ‘mythbusting' segment where I scrutinize some of the more prevalent myths about sex. There's a lot to cover in a short amount of time, but you can definitely expect a great show. What is so Bad About [S]expectations? should we avoid expectations like the plague when sex is involved? What is so harmful about these sexpectations? For one, putting a cap on expectations can help correct incorrect assumptions and predispositions towards sex; it can also lead to better spousal communication and connection. And with a minimal level of sexpectiations at the forefront of one's sexual activities, sex can be a joyous occasion instead of a stressful, pressure-inducing obstacle to avoid. So, it is often a best practice to let things happen how they are going to happen in the bedroom. Expecting too much is harmful to everyone involved. For more, tune in! Interrogate Your Social Environment Never write off the power of social factors in determining your unique sexual makeup and preconceived expectations. The proverbial ‘nurture' of the Nature/Nurture debate can be said to affect all of us, in seemingly unconscious ways; but nonetheless, it is a strong explicit and implicit determinant in how our expectations are formed. Maybe you have never thought about it before. Regardless, interrogating your social environment, both present and past is very important for understanding and thus unpacking some of your possibly misguided expectations. For more, listen in. “No Two Kids Have the Same Parents” Synonymous with our social environments, taking into account the unique perspectives and mentalities that each of us has towards sex is a must for untangling the complex web of your expectations. To properly manage what we expect, we should plan to gain as much understanding as possible. Porn Isn't Helping Your Sexpectations Again, this isn't a condemnation of pornography from a moral basis, but an analysis of the very disconnecting nature of pornography on the realistic expectations of sexually active individuals. Because pornography makes a caricature out of certain aspects of sex--penis and breast size, body shape, movements, duration, an emphasis on penetrative over other forms of sex, and a myriad of other fantastical elements--it is easy to let those elements seep into your own personal expectations. Especially if you are of the generation that grew up on porn and learned a lot about sexuality from the very unreal world of pornography. Tune in for more detail on this. Desire Discrepancies, The Female Orgasm, and Other Sex Myths There are many sexual myths in circulation due to misinformation and lack of a comprehensive sexual education. To start, a very prominent myth has to do with any uneven desires for sex in relationships. And no, there is nothing wrong in general with your relationship if the desires are a bit lopsided e.g. the woman wants sex more or the man has the larger libido. That is completely normal and doesn't point to any specific facet of the relationship that has gone bad. Another myth covered is the fact that only 25% of women and below (the minority of women) can experience an orgasm through penetrative sex. Almost every other female needs some sort of external stimulus or clitoral stimulation. YET...the number one perpetuated myth in pornography is that every single woman is achieving orgasm through the traditional means of penetrative sex. And lastly, other myths are brought up, including the very normal practice of masturbating while in a relationship.
