We have inherited from our ancestors a brain that puts all things related to gene transmission on the top of the biological to-do list, with sex bolded and underlined as priority number one.
For women, the predominant sex hormones are estrogen and progesterone. And the one that tends to get most of the attention is estrogen. And this is for good reason: Estrogen is the hormone that’s responsible for most of the things that we think about when we think about what makes women, women. For example, it’s responsible for the development and maintenance of things like breasts and hourglass body shapes, as well as the development and regulation of the reproductive system.
When compared with naturally cycling women, pill-taking women exhibit less activity in the reward centers of the brain when looking at masculine faces, but more activity in these centers when looking at money.
Where communities cannot thrive, their languages are in danger. When languages lose their speakers, they die.
Some have also used the terms "language murder" and "language sui-cide," suggesting that languages do not die natural deaths. They are instead murdered. English, as Glanville Price put it, is a "killer language." Thus, it has been said that Irish, for instance, was murdered by English. Others, however, have in effect put the blame on Irish by saying that the language committed suicide.
Solving the climate crisis is the greatest and most complex challenge that Homo sapiens have ever faced. The main solution, however, is so simple that even a small child can understand it.
