Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu Extra Impact

Until now, you probably haven’t associated infertility with the collapse of our global population. From the U.S. to India, to South Korea, Canada, the U.K. and more, fertility rates are reaching critical levels. Humans now meet 3 criterias for being an endangered species.
If that doesn’t have you totally rattled yet, our guest today, Dr. Shanna Swan, epidemiologist best known for research she published in 2017 which set off alarms and caught the attention of major media and scholars around the world, joins Tom to highlight the many factors contributing to a 50% drop in fertility rates, testosterone, and reproductive function.
Shanna’s work quickly became the world’s 26th most referenced scientific paper, and her latest book, Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race, delivers a less than optimistic view of guaranteed economic population collapse.
The information Dr. Shanna shares brings up major concerns for the future of humanity as a species and for our current health.
Chemicals leading to our extinction have some government incentivizing people to have sex and procreate.
Women’s education and rights to contraception, and urbanization are contributing to women’s lack of interest in birthing 5 and 6 kids.
Endocrine disrupting chemicals are nearly unavoidable as they’re in what you eat, drink and breathe
The under masculinization of males is an actual problem impacting their lifespan
Lifestyle factors are part of this conversation and include obesity, stress, binge drinking, and poor metabolic health
Shanna gives a masterclass on phthalates, a chemical found in plastics that make them softer, helps products be more absorbable, holds scent and color better in everyday products we’re accustomed to using, and she shares a simple poem to help you identify safer recycled plastic options. Looking at the number on your plastic bottles, commit this to memory…

What You’ll LearnIntelligence
Zelenskyy’s career pre-Presidency
Reactions to the 2022 Russian invasion
Ukrainian public opinion of Zelenskyy
Zelenskyy’s relationship with Ukrainian intelligence 
Reflections
Contagious courage 
Leadership styles, techniques, and unique skills

Quotes of the Week“In researching [Zelenskyy’s] transformations as a person from comedian to politician to wartime leader, I also thought a lot about what qualities have remained consistent in him. And one of them for sure is this kind of, “go get ‘em” confidence … He just has this abiding confidence in his own ability to think on his feet, to not lose his balance, to just go into a new and unfamiliar space or a set of challenges and wing it, so to say.” – Simon Schuster

Welcome back to part two with Donald Hoffman.
In this episode, we take a deep exploration into the nature of reality, consciousness, and the very fabric of spacetime itself. Donald Hoffman challenges our conventional understanding of the world, proposing revolutionary ideas that our perceptions are mere virtual realities crafted by evolution to guide adaptive behavior rather than reveal the objective truth. We delve into quantum entanglement, the concept of local realism, and the tantalizing mysteries beyond spacetime, examining how these ideas could reshape our perception of reality.
Hoffman also discusses the intricate dynamics of human perception, the role of evolutionary game theory, and the mind-boggling complexity of decorated permutations in particle physics. As we question whether consciousness itself might be fundamental, prepare to embark on a journey that stretches the boundaries of science and philosophy.
Tune in, as Tom Bilyeu and Donald Hoffman bring you insights that could radically alter your understanding of the universe.
