Paul Tyson is an independent scholar and an Honorary Senior Fellow with the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry, at the University of Queensland, in Australia. He has academic qualifications in philosophy, theology, and sociology, and likes to mix them all up when trying to understand how strange the ordinary features of our contemporary way of life are. Three of his biggest intellectual heroes are Plato, Kierkegaard, and Ellul. Over the past few years he has been writing in the science and religion domain, which has resulted in the 2022 book 'A Christian Theology of Science' the 2021 book 'Theology and Climate Change' and the 2019 book 'Seven Brief Lessons on Magic'.

One of the questions this fascinating and thought-provoking discussion raises for me is how such a sophisticated thinker could have such overly simplistic ideas about gender. Some people born with male bodies have female brain configurations, and vice-versa. Some people turn out to be fused, opposite-sexed twins, and we are not the only species whose sexual expression is being distorted by the enormous amounts of estrogen and estrogen mimics (plastics) we have poured into our environment. Have you ever interviewed Prof. Robert Sapolsky? He is a primatologist with a long perspective on such matters, and many other questions of human behavior.
