Just wrapped up an eye-opening conversation with K Just wrapped up an eye-opening conversation with Kurt Gray that will completely flip your thinking. He argues we've got evolution all wrong - we're not apex predators, we're prey. Think about it: when you hear a twig snap behind you in the woods, your first thought isn't "dinner," it's "am I about to become dinner?"
