Stefan Molyneux kicks off his "Gene Wars" series by diving into r/K selection theory, using it to unpack how genetics and evolution shape human behavior and the way societies are built. He breaks down the r strategy—lots of offspring with minimal parental effort—against the K approach, which involves fewer kids but more resources poured into each one. Drawing from animals, he shows how surroundings push species toward one path or the other in reproduction. Molyneux then applies this to people, suggesting that social environments can encourage either set of traits, and he ties it to current political and cultural tensions. He argues that getting a handle on these biological ideas helps explain splits in ideology, while hinting at deeper looks ahead into their genetic roots and effects on society.

I find that I get so much peace and joy from Christianity ✝️. I know that some here might say it’s irrational and maybe it is but nothing else in life has helped me feel so peaceful than being a Christian. Stefan’s show has helped me in an incalculable way as I was basically killing myself before I found his show, but I also needed Christianity to complete the journey. I hardly ever struggle with persistent toxic feelings of any kind since I started praying 🙏 everyday, going to church every week, and reading the Bible. Father Spyridon, a Russian Orthodox priest, is one of my favorite YouTube channels.
