I'm here to talk you today about nightclubs,

which I've spent the better half of this decade

And what is important about them is that you observe people behaving

and how that scales out to the outside world.

Nightclubs have been around for about forty, fifty years maybe,

and they are relatively small rooms, you are filling it with this species

that's been evolving for millions and millions of years,

so, in terms of evolutionary time, that's a really short sliver.

And when you apply certain variables to people, they act in certain way.

They only exist in highly urbanized metropolises,

and although they sell alcohol, the real commodity that a nightclub sells

Because of that, they are catered towards men,

which is why the gender issue is skewed, it's always

sixty percent women to the forty percent men in a night club

And most importantly, there is a door policy.

It is one of the only businesses in the world where they can just refuse entry

if you're not dressed appropriately, etc.

which, in fact is that at the sensory level, it's data coming in

The next is drugs and alcohol, which affects perception,

so not only how you're perceiving the night,

but also how the memories are physically being encoded

and how you're going to remember it later on.

which are the commodities that we discussed before,

there is a difference as a social rules, so if you wanted to

walk up to somebodyone and initiate a conversation,

feel comfortable doing that in a place like a grocery store.

There is also a different set of laws within them,

these people can kind of get away with whatever they want.

and nobody really gets in trouble for anything.

it's been in every single society and civilization,

You'll be hard pressed to find someone that you know

who doesn't listen to any sort of music at all,

and because of that, in terms of natural selection,

So basically, if you liked music, you lived to pass on your genes to your offspring,

and if you didn't like music, well you died and didn't pass your genes on.

and they're constantly at war pushing against each other,

but the interesting thing about alcohol is,

as a chemical, we don't really know how it works,

It makes people more outgoing and louder.

or the more recent cognitive processes that evolved.

So we evolved these certain hard wired traits,

like etiquette and our biology takes over.

So when I say a nightclub is stereotypically the most dishonest

business that you can get into, it's true,

but the irony in that statement is that people actually behave

really really honestly once they are inside them,

so it's just an interesting lens to look at society through.

there is food, water, sex and aggression.

So, with alcohol unless these social norms holding us back,

it's exposing more or less these biologicaly

primitive drives from the oldest part of our brain,

So food: after the bar, typically people go and get a burger,

nobody really craves a salad that late at night

and that's because evolution selected for us

to opt for the carbohydrates and fats, because they have more energy,

and it's enhancing your likelihood of survival.

Water is kind of taken out of the situation,

Sex, when I say that more sex happens after a nightclub

than in any other business around the world,

And aggression, when you take a look at stats,

that over 50 percent of violent crimes are committed

under the influence of alcohol, you can see why.

Another thing is called "the rock star effect",

which is really important when it comes to nightclubs and any kind of music.

The "rock star effect" is the release of oxytocin during singing.

Oxytocin is a hormone that produces feelings of trust and love in humans.

It's released by both sexes during intercourse

and makes pair bonding as a way of increasing the likelihood

essentially that the father is going to stick around
