The Hidden Bias That Makes Men Expendable - Roy Baumeister (Video)
In this 23 March 2026 published Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Roy Baumeister, a psychologist, professor, and researcher.
Are men inherently more expendable from an evolutionary standpoint—and if so, has that dynamic helped drive innovation? If risk-taking outliers are often responsible for progress, what does that say about the role men play in shaping civilisation? And does this tradeoff come at the cost of higher failure, instability, and sacrifice along the way?
Expect to learn why cultures flourish when they exploit men and what that actually means, why men have ended up in higher positions in society and if civilisation runs on male competition, why men are so much more likely to take physical, financial, and social risks, if risk-taking men are necessary for progress, what people do not understand about self-destructive male behaviours and more.
