In this episode, we explore the relationship between dominance and submission and its implications for leadership in the future of AI. Yann LeCun, Meta's chief AI scientist, posed a question on Twitter about leading machines that are smarter than humans. While he received criticism for suggesting that humans have hardwired drives for dominance and submission, it led us to investigate the qualities that make good leaders. A survey by Resume Lab found that a significant percentage of U.S. workers think they are more qualified than their bosses. However, the top reasons for leaving a job related to management issues such as a lack of career advancement and uncaring/uninspiring leaders. While intelligence is important for Fortune 500 CEOs, it is not as significant for middle managers. We examine whether hierarchy is a bad thing and find evidence in the Bible that suggests otherwise. Ultimately, we ask if we have a moral obligation to ensure AI is hardwired to submit rather than dominate humans.

In this episode, we discuss a recent study in Nature that shows that rural children are now growing slightly taller than city children in wealthy countries. The study, which combined data from over 2,000 population-based studies across 200 countries with 71 million participants, found that the "urban advantage" that researchers normally point to has diminished over the past 30 years. We explore possible reasons for this trend, including the increase in consumption of vegetable oils, which are high in polyunsaturated fats that can suppress the immune system and increase the risk of cancer, and air pollution, which can stunt growth in children. Join us as we delve into the potential impact of these factors on the growth and development of children and adolescents.
