Lena: Imagine it’s 3:00 AM and you’re wide awake, heart racing, while your phone glows on the nightstand with a fresh notification. You know that feeling, Miles? Like you’re carrying this invisible weight of worry through your workday, even though everything on the surface looks "fine."
Miles: Oh, I know it well. It’s that constant sense of being "on." We’re living in this era that would’ve looked like science fiction to our ancestors—ordering groceries with a tap and accessing all human knowledge from our pockets—yet we’re more anxious than ever.
Lena: Right! It’s so counterintuitive. We have all these advancements, but our brains are actually caught in what experts call an "evolutionary mismatch."
Miles: Exactly. Our biology hasn't changed in about 100,000 years. We’re still walking around with a survival system designed to spot saber-toothed tigers, but today, it’s reacting to a stressful email from the boss or a drop in a savings account.
Lena: It’s like our internal alarm system can’t tell the difference between a predator and a digital ping. Let’s explore how this biological mismatch and our modern "triple threat" of stressors are keeping us in a state of chronic alert.
