61: Mark My Words

Religion as an Adaptive Advantage

Dr. Andrew Neuberg discusses how religion provides an "adaptive advantage" through social cohesion and moral structures. The hosts compare the effects of religious rituals to the "messaging" of mRNA, suggesting that faith rewrites the brain's "operating system" to deal with crisis. They use yoga as a secular example of how tying the mind and body together creates a "force multiplier" for human health and behavior.
