falsely satisfying it through our phones.

And what I mean by that is if you spend all evening looking at people, hearing their voices, hearing their laughter on your social media feeds, your brain doesn't quite understand.

Like obviously, it's very hard for our brains to comprehend that we're looking at a glass electric panel that's a video feed of another reality.

Like that's so confusing for our natural brain that we have within us.

And

If we just deleted all the phones and technology, everyone would be out there trying to socialize because we'd all be so like bored of just being in our own company.

And I think the more discipline you have with your phone to scroll social media less, the more your brain instinctively, and this comes back to the intuitive relationship we have with our system, the more the brain starts going, okay, so I'm not getting it via social media.

I'm going to have to get it from actual social.

And it makes you much happier if it's from the real thing.

Yeah.

So the brain is so hardwired to not be selfish at its core, because if we were a selfish species, again, it would have just really harmed our potential for survival.

If I was to go on a walk and find a load of food and think, F the tribe, I'm just going to eat all this myself.

That's not going to be very useful.

Like our brain has to be programmed.

Like I found food, take it to the group, take it to the group, contribute to the group.

And the same with all the hard activities, making the fires.

It was all about group survival.

And

The modern environment is a bit more self-focused.

We spend a lot of time in our own head thinking about our own experience of life.
