Hello friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Michael Morris. He's a professor of

cultural psychology at Columbia University and an author. Why are humans so tribal? Despite our

capacity for empathy and inclusion, why do we always gravitate toward groups of similar

individuals? And is there such a thing as good tribalism?

Expect to learn why tribalism exists and how it evolved in humans,

why we can hate people outside of our group and why we become hostile so quickly,

if the modern world has worsened tribal instincts, whether tribalism is actually a good thing

for our society, why so many people identify as not the opposition

instead of as for their own group, and much more. Given that tribalism and polarization,

two of the most used words in all of 2024, feels like a timely opportunity to have this

conversation, and there is an awful lot to take away from this one.

I've been using my eight sleep mattress for years and I literally cannot imagine life without it.

Having an actively cooled and heated mattress is the game changer for sleep.

And now they've launched their newest generation, the Pod 4 Ultra, which can cool down each side of the bed

to 20 degrees below room temperature keeping you and your partner cool. And for those of you who snore

heavily, it can detect your snoring and automatically lift your head a few degrees to improve your

airflow and stop it. This is literal your 3000 technology. Cools, heats, it elevates, and it is clinically proven to give you up to one hour more

of quality sleep each night.

Best of all, they have a 30-night sleep trial, so you can buy it and sleep on it for 29 days,

and if you don't like it, they'll give you your money back.

Plus, they ship internationally.

Right now, 8 Sleep is offering their biggest discount of the year.
