Understanding Evolution Cured my Depression

i love the way you summarized this video at the end "another tool in your toolkit" this is what my therapist and i have been working on since i've become blind, adding tools to my toolkit great video! cant wait for more homie!

Wow I can’t believe how much I learned in 20 minutes. This video could have easily been an hour plus long. The fact depression serves an evolved function is crazy to think about and really shifts the way you think about it. People with depression need to hear this take on it. I haven’t ever heard it before I loved the summary at the end as well ❤ that was real.

Really loved this video! Hope to see more like it from this channel! ❤

I love your channel! Thanks for sharing your insights (:

I think you might like the book "Mutual Aid" by Peter Kropotkin? Cool video, my therapist has learned to talk to me in evolutionary terms :)

what might happen, if we show wild chimpanzees videos or demonstrations of human judo competitions? can we show them a way to subdue their opponents without causing lasting physical-trauma?

Much of the fallout we are incurring today comes from the crappy food supply! Quit eating that highly/ultra processed crap! you will feel so much better I bet! Sugar is the fat problem not fat or cholesterol. Limit added sugar intake also you will feel better I swear.
