      Cortisol is actually a really important hormone and it can even make you feel good. The problem is when you have too much too often. It’s like putting your body and mind into sport mode. Very useful in the short term but unsustainable in the long term.

      Because people who are born lucky enough to have an easy life are likely to have more kids.

      Using cortisol to magnify that improves selection bias.

      The rest is math.

      Evolution is a bitch.
