Ancient Intelligence

This is the Ancient Intelligence Podcast, a show that explores the fundamental ancient dynamics that exist between men and women. With the technology and automation of our world, our human nature remains fully intact. The constant question on my heart is what is the ultimate harmony that can be achieved between men and women and how do we get there? We explore culture, history, society, evolutionary psychology, biology, religious and spiritual teachings, and more.

2025/02/03

I left off in PT 1 with the understanding that yin/yang principles precede us as humans. When they are functioning harmoniously, life thrives but when that harmony is severed there is a lot of disfunction.In this episode I get deeper into those two principles and what they are made of. Listen in for a partner dance analogy that explains what happens when things are out of place, why femininity can’t thrive without a masculine container, understanding the bell curve of masculinity and femininity, and

2025/01/27

“Beauty is the harmony of purpose and form.” Scandinavian architect and designer Alvor Aalto, 1928I love this quote because to me it represents the perfect harmony of yin and yang, yin being form and yang being function. Masculinity brings order, logic, and effectiveness while femininity fosters connection, intuition, and feeling. When one is missing we lose balance. In this episode I start exploring why masculinity is the foundation upon which femininity thrives and why its absence is unraveling

Were hunter gatherers patriarchal or matriarchal? Neither.I had the privilege of hosting Elena Bridgers on the show to have a conversation about understanding our evolutionary past as hunter gatherers.

#74 | How A Man’s No is Linked to his Care and Provision

Ancient Intelligence ·

2025/01/06

With great power comes great responsibility.In this episode I dive into the link between duty, honor, and accountability and how these are all uniquely male attributes that require reverence. I talk about how the masculine drive towards these things shapes our relationships in positive ways and when appreciated how much that grows. I also get into one blind spot men have when focusing on accountability and making big-picture plans. - women often feel unheard and not considered. I share an example

#73 | What’s Missing Within the Myths of Matriarchies?

Ancient Intelligence ·

2024/12/30

In this episode I share some of my findings on the mythology of matriarchies. I share some insights from late activist Russell Means (Lakota tribe) and some work from late Lithuanian Archeologist and anthropologist Marija Gimbutas. people throw around the words matriarchy and patriarchy these days without really defining what their intention is and how they ‘should’ function. I think it’s interesting to dive into what these really mean. True matriarchies as in societies ‘ruled by mothers’ have been

2024/12/23

It’s not trad wife or boss babe, but it’s something else entirely.I had the privilege of hosting Courtney Ballard on the show to have a conversation about understanding masculine provision from a female perspective. She is a beautiful writer, creator, sourdough bread extraordinaire, homemaker, and friend. Author of the book Devoted, where she poetically describes how by becoming devoted to receiving and honoring masculine provision, she has become her true self.We get to heart of why relationships

#71 | What’s Behind the Female Desire for Male Guidance?

Ancient Intelligence ·

2024/12/16

There’s that moment in the film when the woman turns to the man during a crisis and says, “what are we going to do now?” Contrary to mainstream beliefs that say this makes women look helpless, this is actually the instinctual female desire to be guided at play here.I get into our survival instincts and how and why relationships play such a big role for women. I dive into detail about diffused awareness and how it works in real life with a few examples. I cover an important yin/yang principle that

#70 | The Art of Masculine Provision

Ancient Intelligence ·

2024/12/09

I explore what I’m calling the art of masculine provision because it goes so far beyond finances and shelter. Men have a huge capacity to provide intellectual, spiritual, and emotional guidance that’s often missed and misunderstood. I get into the core desires of men and women, why understanding provision matters so much, and how this provision can be understood in modern relationship dynamics. Finally I describe how the connection women crave is tied directly into embracing and appreciating the

#69 | One Missing Piece in the Debate About Men and...

Ancient Intelligence ·

2024/12/02

With men ‘falling behind’ women in many aspects of life from university attendance to career success, the question being asked is ‘How do we help men find success and meet women where they are?” While valid, I believe it’s fundamentally the wrong question because it ignores a foundational principle about men and women: men don’t want to compete with women, they want to care for women.I explore some history and including Agrarian times and the 1950s American housewife/breadwinner era.

Ancient Intelligence ·

2024/11/25

In this episode I share a high level overview of the different ways that men and women experience attraction and pair bonding based on their respective hormones. I discuss the foundational pull between the masculine and feminine poles and how the instinctual desires men and women have are related to the hormones they release at different times within dating and mating. I highlight the core four hormones: serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin. I also address the perception that men do not

Ancient Intelligence ·

2024/11/18

In this episode I dissect the meaning behind some hot-button words like hierarchy, authority, and patriarchy to showcase that many of our misunderstandings are a product of nomenclature discrepancies and misinterpretations, not malicious intent.Danish Author Tor Nørretranders has an important insight in his work, The User Illusion, about how as humans we feel more than we know and we know more than we can say. Therefore based on the fact that what is said is a tiny fraction of a larger picture of

Ancient Intelligence ·

2024/11/11

In a recent study out of the Czech Republic, it’s reported that women are envious of men for their ‘lack of concern’(among other things). I recently had a few women mention to me that they feel so anxious all the time , meanwhile their partners seem to not be carrying as much ‘mental load.’ What’s actually going on here? It’s definitely not lack of concern. It all comes back to our differences as hunters versus gatherers. Women often experience heightened anxiety do to the way their brains

#64 | Can men truly be vulnerable without being judged?

Ancient Intelligence ·

2024/10/28

The answer is yes - if men have two extremely important factors intact in their lives before being vulnerable. This is really important. Lots of men that talk to me say that vulnerability is hard for them to understand without the fear of being judged. They genuinely cannot foresee expressing vulnerability because in the past they have had it weaponized against them or the woman in question has lost attraction for them.In this episode I try to highlight a few blind spots that can help paint the

I challenge the mainstream narrative surrounding ‘The Patriarchy’ and argue that its true essence is largely misunderstood. I explore what the Patriarchy actually is? How I see it from a female perspective? and What the true cause of dissatisfaction for both women and men is?I explore how by embracing the benevolent patriarch, we can all better connect to our purpose, our harmony, and divine design as men and women.____________________________________________If you found some value today then help
