Damaged Yet Dominant

KMO welcomes Tony Wright to the program to talk about the development and degeneration of human cognitive abilities over the course of our evolutionary history. Could it be that our forest-dwelling, fruit-eating ancestors enjoyed not only enhanced cognitive abilities, but also a more satisfying and easy sense of self? If so, how might we move ourselves back in the direction sanity and balance? Tony is working with documentary film-maker David Malone to bring these ideas to a wider audience via a TV series they’re tentatively calling Molecules of Madness. Later, Charles Eisenstein stops in to talk about trusting ourselves to find a workable relationship with food.
