Today's quote:
"The modern world is out of sync with our ancient brains and bodies. We evolved to live in clans, but today most people don't even know their neighbors' names. Survival in our earliest societies depended on leveraging the advantages of our sex differences, but today even the concept of biological sex is increasingly dismissed as offensive. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we're not built for is killing us."
My underline there. I'd rewrite the last sentence: "Cognitive dissonance is spawned by trying to live in a society we're not built for.". A source for sex-behavioural-differences-as-specialization-for-evolutionary-advantage is the linked book.
