#121 Welcome to the Noble Psy-Op (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) Apr 02, 2022

Show notes

In this 121st 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.

This week, we discuss the newly published Together trial on the efficacy of Ivermectin in treating Covid, and the media’s response to said publication. We discuss mass formation, as detailed in Mattias Desmet’s book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism (not “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” as Heather said during the podcast; that is the name of Hannah Arendt’s 1951 tome). We discuss the left’s eagerness to be on the side of science, when it suits them, and we mention Solzhenitsyn. And we discuss the need for evidence-based medicine.

#120 What is a Woman? (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) Mar 26, 2022

Show notes

In this 120th 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.

This week, we discuss the definition of woman. What are women? Adult human females. What are adults, and humans, and females? Are we suffering a plague of sophistry? (Yes.) Must we turn this around? (Yes.) Are humans ever hermaphroditic? (No.) What about banana slugs? (Yes. What about them?) And clown fish? (Also yes—again, so? They’re clown fish, not humans.) We discuss the evolution of sex and sex roles (aka gender). We talk about Genetic Sex Determination and Environmental Sex Determination. We discuss anisogamy and monoecious and dioecious plants, and it’s interesting and not full of uninterpretable words. We do not discuss the paired hemipenes of snakes and lizards. Our apologies.

We briefly discuss Hunter Biden’s laptop, before talking about Lia Thomas, the trans swimmer who competes successfully as a woman, after having competed unsuccessfully as a man. We talk about last names, and naming conventions in culture. And we talk about inclusion.

Bret speaks with Dr. Julie Ponesse who saw her academic career of 20 years fall apart after she refused to comply with a Canadian university's COVID vaccine mandate.

Dr. Julie Ponesse has a PhD in Philosophy with areas of specialization in ethics and ancient philosophy, a Masters in Philosophy with Collaborative Specialization in Bioethics from the University of Toronto, and a Diploma in Ethics from the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University.

Since then, Dr. Ponesse has joined The Democracy Fund as the Pandemic Ethics Scholar focussing on educating the public on civil liberties and has recently released her new book My Choice: The Ethics Case Against Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates.

In this 118th 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.

This week, we discuss mask mandates, which end today on most of the West coast of the U.S. We discuss our approach to masks (and other things) two years ago, in March of 2020. We talk briefly about detransitioning, and its relationship to the public health response to Covid. We discuss Orwell’s position on socialism (and fruit-juice drinkers, and feminists). And we discuss why the origin of SARS-CoV2, and its likely development and evolution through serial passaging, makes a difference in how the virus behaves in humans.

In this 117th 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.

This week, we discuss Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), vaccine mandates, and how very non-inclusive many arts (and other organizations) are being while they claim to be embracing DEI. We discuss the entraining of humans via mask mandates, and through prescriptions on how and where to walk. We talk about the policies that have been put in place “to protect people from Covid,” and how ineffective, or anti-effective, many of them have been. We discuss the value of meandering, of serendipity, of not knowing what the path will be. We discuss the value of work, and of spending time generating solutions. We discuss whether, as some have claimed, the mRNA vaccines are “gene therapy,” and what would that mean, according to the FDA’s definitions of same. We share an excerpt from Orwell’s 1937 The Road to Wigan Pier, which bears striking similarities to today’s economy. We discuss the price of lumber.

We discuss fear and safety and how fear is used to convince us that we can do with less safety—in things from vaccines to transgenic trees. We discuss Ukraine, a bit, and fairness, and fixing the system so that we can be strong and liberal again, and we read two Wendell Berry poems, and a letter from a Canadian named Matthew.

Show notes

https://open.spotify.com/episode/7LB9DkxkwNK2em5lphKHfo

*****

In this 115th 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.

This week, we talk about the two tiers of society: vaccinated and unvaccinated. Then we discuss the more hidden, and more dire, tiers being introduced first by the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, and now by Homeland Security, in its crackdown on mis-, dis-, and mal- information. We briefly discuss the war on pineapple. We celebrate, again, the Truckers for Freedom, who are standing for freedom and democracy in Ottawa, and whose compatriots are at the Coutts border crossing in Alberta, and the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor as well. We discuss the class component of these protests, and the middle-class’s often erroneous understanding of what working class people do and do not do. We discuss fact checking and rent seeking; also: Twister Sister and Beethoven.
