Thanks so much for having me on the podcast, Sean.
I'm a huge fan and an avid listener.
I think it's a great question.
I think it's something we have to pay a lot of attention to.
And it's kind of ironic in the sense, Sean, that even though we are living in such arbitrary kind of environments compared to the environments that we evolved in, in some sense, because humans have so much control over the environment, I believe we think we're almost immune to it.
And that's something that we've been thinking a lot in my laboratory is that we aren't immune to the environment.
And we're a part of the environment.
I think people sometimes get this sort of feeling that humans are kind of distinct from the environment.
But no, of course, we're very much part of the natural world.
And it's interesting that because we have so much control over the environment, it's sort of this
bi-directional kind of relationship.
So our brains have been shaped by the physical environment.
Now our brains are designing the physical environment and that new environment is now also shaping, shaping our brains.
And like you said too, it is happening very, very rapidly.
I mean,
We've only lived in these cubicle boxes for hundreds, a few hundreds of years.
It's kind of arbitrary.
And that's something that we think a lot about, that our brains sort of adapted to a very different environment.
And so now we're kind of in this other kind of environment.
And that can have positives and negatives.
