Why do women apologize more than men?
Today on Something You Should Know, the interesting reason women apologize a lot more than men. Then, an objective look at marijuana. What it is, how it's changed, and who uses it.
About 15% of the US population have used in the last week. and about 45 to 50 percent of adults, we're talking about adults here in both cases, say they've tried at some point in their life. It's the most commonly used illicit substance in the U.S. and Europe at the moment.
Also, something important your furnace really wants you to do, and the dangers of falling into the certainty trap.
And what that means is it's the feeling of moral outrage, righteous indignation, contempt for somebody who disagrees, particularly on a heated or contentious topic.
All this today on Something You Should Know. We talk a lot about health on Something You Should Know, and I guess it motivates me. I mean, I'm not a nut about it, but I try to take care of my health. I want to preserve my mobility and strength as I get older. And I recently started taking this supplement. Maybe you've heard about it. It's called MitoPure. MitoPure is a precise dose of something called Urolithin A that supports your health by encouraging cellular renewal. Since I started taking it... I can tell I have more energy and I notice I recover faster after I exercise. I did some research on this too. There's some real science here that supports what I'm saying. And so does my experience.
MitoPure is the only urolithin A supplement on the market that is clinically proven to target the effects of age-related cellular decline. And Mito Pure is shown to deliver double-digit increases in muscle strength and endurance without a change in exercise. From my own experience, I have more energy and strength and just overall feel better every day. And who doesn't want that? And I'm not just recommending it to you on this podcast. I tell friends and other people I know about it because of how it makes me feel. Now, Timeline is the company behind MitoPure, and Timeline is offering 10% off your order of MitoPure.

Something you should know. Fascinating intel. The world's top experts. And practical advice you can use in your life. Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers. If you're looking for a really good podcast episode to listen to, I'd say you've come to the right place. Welcome to Something You Should Know, and we start today with apologies. Perhaps you have apologized to someone today or someone has apologized to you for some reason. It's a proven fact that women apologize more than men. So why would that be? Well, a study in the journal Psychological Science found that over the course of 12 days, women apologized 217 times. Men apologized just 158 times. The authors of the study concluded that men were actually just as willing to apologize as women. The difference was that men had a higher threshold for what bothered them. We tend to apologize for something we feel might be offensive or hurtful.
Men and women in general have different levels of sensitivity. A woman might snap at a friend and feel bad and then apologize, while a man might just think, eh, no big deal, he'll get over it. And that is something you should know. Say the word marijuana to people and you'll hear a lot of opinions. Some people believe it's benign, nothing wrong with it, it's less dangerous than alcohol, and after all, almost half the states in the U.S. have legalized recreational use of marijuana. Other people will say it's a gateway drug, it damages your brain, and affects your behavior in a negative way. I'm sure you've heard all of this before, but what is the objective truth about marijuana? What does the science say about it? That is what Godfrey Pearlson is here to reveal. He is a psychiatric researcher, physician, and Yale neuroscience professor. He's also author of a book called The Science of Weed, An Indispensable Guide to Cannabis. Hi, Godfrey. Welcome to Something You Should Know. Mike, very good to be with you. Thank you.
