Description

On The DarkHorse Podcast, we will explore questions that matter, with tools that work. Weekly episodes of "The Evolutionary Lens" are co-hosted with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, in which we use an evolutionary toolkit to reveal patterns in nature--including human nature. Guest episodes feature Bret hosting long form discussions. Some guests are well known, others obscure, but all are chosen because they have demonstrated unusual insight. The state and future of civilization will be a recurring theme, so buckle up!

@37:00 Brett doesn't seem to understand that the Bush family is part of this global regime so tying Enron to him as a Republican is just ignorant. he opens his worldview now but not to the past to see the manipulation that has gone on for ages?

at 45 minutes in this guy fails to grasp the premise that a weaker American military means an inability for action. we have Russia trying to take over Ukraine as it's rebuilding the USSR and we have China threatening to put troops all throughout Taiwan as form of exclamation of ownership as has been claimed since the 40s. these two things alone would require American accent demanded by the people and that failure to act would be seen as a weakness so we need to provide that picture of weakness. then you get to upgrade the military bring in new tech and AI you don't need as many people on the ground anymore. it's a win-win all the way around for everyone except the population

Have you ever been in an argument with your wife over bad communication.. like when you argue over who said what yesterday, and how it was phrased or what you meant by it and how they never listen to you or understand you? Then it ends up being this long drawn-out thing that you look back on a week later and realize it was just a complete waste of time because now you're arguing over a stupid stuff again? After 30 minutes of this show that's how I felt. Exhausted, annoyed, misunderstood, unheard and flat out irritated. Bret didn't want to listen because of narcissism and the other guy was just one of those "well what about-ism" type of morons.

still not putting the pieces together I see.. Elon musk will take over twitter. and then he will open the floodgates. and Republicans are going to win all seats in the government pretty much. and then the bottom is going to fall out of the economy and Republicans are going to get the blame for everything. then everybody will welcome the social credit system via hegelian dialectic.

Why are the human programmers ignored as artists? This conversation about artificial art fails to recognize the influence of the humans who designed the "AI". Same error with saying computers will be able to "do science." There is no artificial intelligence it is all human sourced.

You say that we're out manned, I disagree completely. These things are orchistrated by a small number of very powerful people. We all have to say "No" loudly.

Great thoughtful review of what has happened. Good and Evil is the essential element ordinary people need to understand who are too busy or not able to go down deep where this reality exists.
