#273 - From Vikings to Tinder (Guest: Mads Larsen)

Mads Larsen's new book investigates the plummeting fertility rates and potential demographic collapse of the West. He explores the increasing levels of singledom, dating dysfunction, and sexual inactivity that defines our modern culture — and untangles the perhaps most foundational factor behind this uncoupling: our present era's ideology of love.  Stores of Love: From Vikings to Tinder is available for free as open access, download it here.  Mads Larsen is a literary scholar who uses evolutionary perspectives to study cultural change. After earning a PhD and an MFA from UCLA, he became a researcher at the University of Oslo. Larsen has published over three dozen articles and co-authored a book on evolutionary positive psychology. He currently serves on the editorial board of Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences. Tack för att du är medlem! 💛
