In this episode, we explore some of the themes from my book, The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature. Why do some people cling to the belief that humans are blank slates, with no influence from evolution or genes?
Join me as I unpack the fears driving this denial, born from common misconceptions, like mistaking sameness for equality, and believing we can eliminate traits in humans through training.
