290: Need to understand, How BYG started, Childless, Bad Childhood & depression

In today's show, the dr's discuss:

1. How does evolutionary psychology approach the complex human need to understand how/why/when about the workings of the universe
2. hello! i am just curious how this podcast came into being and the aim behind it, as it appears to be an extremely altruistic dissipation of scientifically accurate advice and help. highly grateful for it. thankyou!
3. greetings! i am 23 years old, from a pretty conservative nation and feel i have missed out on many life experiences thus do not want a kid as i want the rest of my life completely for myself and for the pursuit of other achievements. today's seemingly increasingly apocalyptic world (due to climate change and resource shortage) further kills the desire to bring forth a child. i feel its the poorly lived childhood and early adult experiences that prevent me from wanting a kid. would it be possible to understand the psychology behind it with respect to the fact that childhood experiences don't shape our desires? why do some women not want kids?
4. Does having bad childhood experiences cause depression?
5. Who's philosophers view of the world do you agree with the most? What does Dr.Lisle think of the view of ancient Greek atomists?
