EP 18: Luxury Beliefs

About this episode

In the fall of 2015, Tara's guest on the podcast today had just arrived at Yale. He was an Air Force veteran, working-class, a former foster child. So, when a massive crisis erupted over emails about Halloween costumes and campus "safety," he was a bit perplexed. Rob Henderson is a PhD student in psychology at Cambridge University, and a rising academic star. He writes a popular newsletter on human nature, psychology, and social class at Substack, and has been published in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. But he’s perhaps best known for coining the term luxury beliefs. Rob Henderson is here to talk about these luxury beliefs, and about the sex recession and the state of the mating game.
