#199: Surgical Totalitarianism (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

In this 199th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this episode we discuss the FCC’s plan to expand the scope of their reach to…everything, in the name of equity (of broadband access). We compare this move to that of the WHO, and also to what happened at Evergreen, and to pretty much all “equity” maneuvers ever. We discuss the spread of viral information on-line, and how Renée DiResta would like to stop it. In light of Bari Weiss’s speech, we discuss why anti-Semitism is on the rise. And we discuss the normalization of things like anti-Semitism and autogynephilia, how the social contract is decaying, and why young people are jumping from diagnosis to diagnosis, and why it seems like a mistake.

#198: Czech Your Privilege (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

In this 198th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this episode we discuss the West, the West West, and the West West West. Following recent travels in Prague, London, and Denver, we talk about how Prague seems to keeping the embers of the West alive—through noble subversion, shared knowledge of musical traditions, cobbled streets, and more. We discuss anti-semitism—its absence in Prague, its presence in London. We talk about the art and energy discussions at the ARC (Alliance for Responsible Citizenship) conference. And we discuss children and young people being harmed by the affirmative care model, following Heather’s participation in the Genspect conference in Denver.

#197 WHO’s Your Daddy (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

In this 197th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this episode we discuss the WHO’s proposed amendments to their 2005 International Health Regulations. It’s not good, as lawyer Philipp Kruse, and John Campbell, have already pointed out. These amendments, should they be approved, will mark the end of science, of democracy, and of justice. Then we discuss complexity, how to respond to complex situations, and Israel and Hamas. Our reflexes are being used to control us; life is being presented as a multiple-choice test, but we can resist that test. Finally, check out the progressive stack on the New Democratic Party convention in Canada. It’s Bananas.

#196 War on Our Minds (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) Oct 14, 2023

Show notes

In this 196th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this episode we discuss astronomical events, like today’s annular eclipse—that exist with or without human awareness of them. What would the ancients have thought of an eclipse? We discuss science, and the risk to us all as we take the S out of STEM, leaving an applied, human-centric set of fields that are missing their foundation. We discuss Roger Waters—his modern takes on Israel and Palestine, and his dreams and words as recorded in the music of Pink Floyd. We too wish for a world in which no one kills the children anymore, and are having a difficult time defining the shape of this moment in time. Finally: where are the neocons now?

#195: Hanlon’s Sledge Hammer (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

In this 195th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this episode we discuss the attacks on Israel by Hamas on October 7. We discuss values: Old Testament versus the West. We discuss frontiers, both legitimate and illegitimate, and terrorism. We discuss land rights and first peoples. We discuss the “Coalition Slicer-Dicer” and the perverse incentives of those who would keep us at war, keep us sick, and keep us from talking to one another.
