Sharing this talk again about the root causes of ecological crisis and the role of bioregional learning centers for weaving a tapestry of regeneration across the Earth...

In our @TrendsCognSci paper, @bruce_rawlings and I address a question that has long puzzled scientists: How is it that humans have such sophisticated technology, and yet it takes most of childhood to learn to solve basic tool innovation tasks? (1/10)

At the heart of land regeneration is the need to cooperate...
Heal the humans in order to heal the landscape.

Now you can engage with #thisviewoflife in two ways: nonfiction (tinyurl.com/yxluulld) and fiction (atlashugged.world )! @tvolmag @EvoInstitute @EvonomicsMag @CulturalEvolSoc @evolvingfutures @ESICulture @INETeconomics @INETOxford @mercatus @RebuildMacro @DoughnutEcon

We are practicing Prosocial in the cohort of ~40 "community regenerators" for creating decentralized governance of the global network. This will help us develop the research tools for tracking prosocial group behaviors across regenerative projects in the future. ;-)

I'm proud to be part of this spinoff organization from @EvoInstitute! You'll be hearing a lot more about it soon...@StevenCHayes @myACBS @CulturalEvolSoc @evolvingfutures @BioengineerGM.
Humanity from an evolutionary perspective (which includes evo psychology) is what's needed. We're a groupishly-egalitarian species, products of multilevel selection, so all approaches should be based on that fact. @David_S_Wilson @EvoInstitute @tvolmag prosocial.world

.@amesoudi is being too modest. And I don't ramble! Our conversation takes a deep dive into his excellent work and I look forward to featuring other cultural evolutionists in future podcasts. @EES_update @CulturalEvolSoc @evolvingfutures @HumBehEvoSoc @EvoInstitute

Vital to understand this if you want to intentionally design for regeneration of landscapes...
Niche construction stresses a dialectical relationship between organisms and their environments. Examples include the building of nests and burrows by animals and the alteration of soil chemistry and nutrient cycling by plants.

super wealthy folks giving to charity is better than not giving (a bit), but it can NEVER be a substitute for robust, well-funded, broad public services programs. This fantastic piece by @SaiferAdam explains why

In today's webinar about bioregional design, these are some of the research topics we will explore together.
Cultural evolutionary studies is essential to this work!

Continuing what we started in 2015 with @David_S_Wilson @amesoudi @Peter_Turchin and many other cultural evolution researchers... when we set up the @CulturalEvolSoc and later @evolvingfutures.

This is a great opportunity to catch up on the latest research in animal behavior, centered on nonhuman species, which is essential background for studying evolution in relation to human behavior. @LeeDugatkin @EES_update @CulturalEvolSoc @evolvingfutures

I would like to invite all of you who want to help create research projects devoted to bioregional design to join me this Saturday for a webinar about how we can collaborate through the global network of Earth Regenerators.

In 2017 I was lead author on a paper in Nature outlining the "grand challenges" of cultural evolution. This weekend I'll present a research agenda to address several of them.
This graphic provides a concept map of the challenges identified by surveying @CulturalEvolSoc members.

Scientific history? Revealing macro-patterns in our collective pasts? Yes!!! Great piece from from @TomCurrieEvo @Peter_Turchin @seregavr @EdwardALTurner

For those seeking to learn how to "manage" the cultural evolution process... here is ample evidence that it can be done.
h/t @David_S_Wilson for organizing this important series of conversations.

Your friendly reminder that chronic existential stress creates the conditions for strong-man dictatorships and fundamentalist religions...
We need to address root causes of stress to minimize these patterns.
