The Beautiful Thinkers Project

Season IX | EP 1: Dr Bryant Paul, Rebel. Optimist. Beautiful Thinker.

Carolyn Hadlock, Founder/President

What if our ability to worry about social media and porn means we're doing better than we think? Dr Bryant Paul, whose research has been cited by the Supreme Court, studies the fundamental human craving that connects every ancestor on our family tree - and reveals how our caveman brains simply aren't built to process today's mediated world. Yet even as algorithms exploit ancient desires, the fact that we can debate these dangers suggests our most primal needs are being met.
