The Lizard Brain Project

A series of interviews exploring humans' inability to confront climate change. Homo Sapiens is inherently scientific. We have all the knowledge and tools we need to understand the impact we're having on our own habitat and how to fix it. The fact that we've run out the clock points to innate instincts encouraging us to go the wrong direction; this is the core metaphor of The Lizard Brain.

In this channel, I interview evolutionary scientists, cognitive psychologists, policymakers and activists in order to identify the aspects of human nature getting in our way. To paraphrase Carl Sagan, a billion years of instinct beats a million years of intelligence every time. But we still have to try.
