#029 - Lorenzo Warby - Forget The War Of The Sexes: Men And Women Were Made To Complement Each Other

Lorenzo Warby writes for one of Substack's featured publications for 2024, Helen Dale's Not On Your Team, But Always Fair, as well as for his own Substack Lorenzo from Oz. Lorenzo writes frequently about evolutionary anthropology, evolutionary psychology, human nature, the institutional health of the West, the differences between civilisations, and the impact of political ideologies on public life. Lorenzo has a very interesting background, having worked in the Australian public service and non-profit sector, and now he puts on medieval and ancient days for schools. In this episode, Lorenzo tells us about human social dynamics and why women are not a finer form of Homo Sapien (and neither are men), why we shouldn't see the sexes as in competition with each other, the impact of feminism and feminisation of society, the advantages of Western Civilisation, how small networks of ideologically motivated people can have an outsized effect on society,  the different sides of egalitarianism, the cultural degradation of the masculine - expect to hear about the latest Star Wars films, and the impact of male coordination on human evolution.This was one of my favourite conversations by a country mile. You can never get bored of speaking to very smart people and Lorenzo is very smart. He is a polymath and has an uncanny ability to avoid using jargon every other word.  Lorenzo's a learned man and great conversationalist. Enjoy the show Classmates.
