        Not only did I order the book instantly after reading your review, but your review was brilliant! I thought that over my lunch today while reading it. No one gets credit for good reviews these days -- you should.

        The reviewer notes: "The Normals are turning into WEIRDs in droves, and almost nobody is going in the other direction, so if the WEIRDs aren’t the majority yet, they soon will be. . . "

        Lucky sacrifices based on bad religious interpretations? My guess.

        Are human minds naturally prone to polygyny? Not likely. Good critique of a passage in @JoHenrich’s new book, The WEIRDest People in the World. https://twitter.com/Evolving_Moloch/status/1303792077478608898 …

        Man, how bad was that guys cousin? Article makes me think we are just at the tip of realizing how the way we use consciousness and attention constructs the rest of our mind, and thus how we see the world and resulting cultures we produce. Form of open source software design...
