It's just really like an understatement.

This is the point I was making.

So you mentioned that, oh, these sociopathic men.

I don't necessarily even think it needs to be those sociopathic men.

Like, look at any man that finds himself in a position where he can.

Mick Jagger, any top level rock star, will kind of act on that desire for sexual variety if they're socially sanctioned.

So you need a socially sanctioned norm or a cultural norm to kind of buffer against that being a fine thing to do.

It's not just curtailing women's freedom.

It's actually as much curtailing high-status men's freedom.

Yeah.

I think you're exactly right, and that's where I focus so much of my time thinking about evolutionary mismatch, is this idea that our modern world just looks radically different from the world in response to which our psychology evolved.

And yeah, that's the primary mission, is to understand what's happening with that interaction, how does our evolved psychology for mating work in an online setting, evolutionary novel.

But, yeah, you're not going to change human nature.

We're rapidly changing cultures faster than we can keep up.

And it's just the best we can do is try and keep up and understand.

Never mind figure out what the best way to integrate and to live our life using it.

But, yeah, certainly denying our evolved nature is going to get us nowhere.
