Questions About Evolution


Listen Later

What if the thing holding back our evolution wasn’t the Unviverse, but our alignment with it?

In this Q&A episode, Thom explores the subtle early signal of misalignment, why formulaic living dulls creativity, and how the unknown became the forge of the human brain. 

Thom also challenges us to make our behaviors more evolutionary, offers a cautionary message about our modern archives, and shares a bold, simple law you won’t forget.
