This is something that it'll depend on the political circumstance.

It'll depend on what's going on in the world.

But safety can go from the micro to the macro.

Am I...

you know, locking the doors at night to is it safe for me to walk on the streets?

Am I creating...

raising children who will thrive into the future?

And am I creating worlds that I want to live in?

Is the world the way I want it to be?

So those are our eight.

One of the biggest lies we sell each other is that women are better multitaskers than men, that their brains are just more efficient at keeping track of all these competing things they have to go on.

And the research doesn't show that.

Actually, what it shows is that none of us can multitask.

What you're really good at doing is task switching, switching between.

And when you task switch, you're actually burning through some of your cognitive capacity that it's actually draining some of your energy.

Another myth we tell each other is that women are really good at household managers and men are just terrible at this.

So men are really good at like running companies, right?

That are complex with a bunch of different employees, competing demands, right?

you know, stressful moments, problem solving, but they're terrible at bringing any of those skills back at home.

Like they just can't, like those are non-transferable skills.
