In today’s episode, the Dr’s discuss:
1. Could you discuss cultural appropriation? Especially with regards to not sporting wigs etc I for one really admire when people dress up like people from my culture and use the same hair and face accessories even though in the past we were under colonial rule and oppressed.
2. Are men, now, in a world where women also make a lot of money, willing to sleep down if they themselves don’t make much money?
3. In episode 288, teh Dr’s talked about how one might stumble into a dream job – and exposed the dynamics that would have likely taken place. Could you help us get some idea of how young people in their 20s can increase the likelihood of stumbling into a good fit job.

In today’s show the dr’s discuss:
1. Do people feel disgust for themselves when they are a minority in the village? Like you’ve said, disgust evolved not just out of a sense of right and wrong, but also out of infection and threat. So, my question is, do (racial, sexual, etc) minorities suffer because their internal audience will be in tune with the majority community’s sense of disgust and/or threat around them? How important is it to have people who look, think, love, and are like you for your self esteem?
2. What is the psychology behind interrupting people in conversation? I’ve read that we’re “wired to tie up loose ends” meaning that it feels good to tie up a thought that may get forgotten about or change as the conversation carries on. Also, do you think most people really listen to what we are saying or are they just waiting for their turn to speak?
3. Can neuroplasticity be used to change personality ? or is it that the DNA remains the same thus the way new neurons or connections form is also predetermined ?
