On this, our 315th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss war, breaches of promise, and manta rays. Why are we at war in Iran, when this president promised “no new wars”? Removing dictators and strongmen from the world is honorable—but will the Iranian people thrive after this move, or will this look more like Iraq? Can we reconcile what Secretary of State Rubio said about why we started the war, versus what Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said? Then: Kansas has reversed course on letting ...

On this, our 314th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss love, coffee, and AI. For Valentine’s Day, Bret shares his thoughts on myths, love, and soulmates, and we discuss how relationships form—both in the abstract and in our case—and how relationships cannot be antagonistic or about short time horizons. Then: new research finds that drinking moderate amounts of coffee or tea—but not if decaffeinated—slows cognitive decline. And: is AI coming for us, and if so, how soon? How fast are LLM’s...
On this, our 313th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the Orwellian landscape(s) we find ourselves in, beginning with a reading from 1984. Minneapolis has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize; a male school shooter in a dress was referred to as female in several media outlets; and Wikipedia is lauded for its neutrality by (the science journal) Nature, with an example that demonstrates a lack of neutrality at either place. Orwell modernizes Ecclesiastes, then: Epstein: QAnon, Massacr...
On this, our 312th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the fact that the centre cannot hold. More Epstein files were released, which included an email from our friend and former mentor, Robert Trivers. We discuss his contributions, his life, and what the email does and does not imply. Also in the Epstein files: pizza, torture, Bitcoin, and the “goyim.” Was it all about blackmail; if not, what? And what is the CEO of TikTok on about, with regard to hate speech? Finally: a silver lining in...

1On this, our 311th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss what is happening in Minneapolis. First: research finds that on average, men and women experience empathy differently: men do not have empathy for people who have done wrong; women have empathy for people regardless of context. Then: Was the Alex Pretti shooting by ICE officers in Minneapolis a cold-blooded murder, or a justified homicide? How would we know? Few of us were actual eye-witnesses to the scene, but our modern media envir...

On this, our 310th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss Trump, his presidency, and the state of the country. Disappointments include military interventions and renamings, a failed and politicized DOGE, and the embrace of tech-utopianism and associated heuristics and algorithms. Positive moves have been made in MAHA (e.g. revision of the childhood vaccine schedule, food additives and food pyramid), sex and gender (sex is real, men can’t become women); and, to some degree, constitutional an...
On this, our 309th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss science and scientism, experts and expertise. Washington state Governor Bob Ferguson objects to the reduction in the Childhood Vaccine Schedule, and promises to bring “science” back to the state. In fact, the new recommendations are putting the U.S. more in line with what European countries recommend, and are quite conservative. Also, while Ferguson was the WA Attorney General, he imposed and enforced Covid vaccine mandates; many peo...

On this, our 308th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss glyphosate, Roundup, Monsanto, and how science and the law are done. A benchmark scientific review paper from 2000, which established the safety of glyphosate for humans, has been retracted by the publisher, on the basis that a) the paper did not actually review the available evidence, b) the stated authors did not actually write (much of) the paper, and c) employees of Monsanto, which makes Roundup, cryptically contributed substanti...
On this, our 307th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss short form video (SFV), advertisers coming for our dreams, and a review of where we are, and where we are headed. Short form video has negative impacts on both cognitive capacity and mental health in youth and adults; in the context of recent research, we discuss laugh track, philosophy of science, and how tiny actions that appear to have no harm can be very harmful in the aggregate. Then: humans have a long history of accessing our ...

On this, our 306th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss men and women, relationships and strategies. What is actually true of young women right now? Is the manosphere onto some uncomfortable and deep truths, or do they suffer from sampling and confirmation bias? What role is porn playing? Social media? Is the nonsense that emerged from #MeToo, with regard to blaming all men, seeing an analog now in the blaming of women? However: men and women are different. Women are more likely to think ...
On this, our 305th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss evolution, including major transitions from sea to land (early amphibians), and back again (e.g. whales), and the evidence. Where should we expect gaps in the fossil record, and why? How are adaptations to space and time analogous to one another? Then: lab grown pig fat is combined with plant protein and turned into meatballs that pretend to be pork. What could go wrong? Prediction: they’ll be carcinogenic. Finally: GLP-1s—e.g. Ozemp...

On this, our 304th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the mainstream media’s pivot, in which they now tentatively accept that some children have died from the mRNA Covid shots. We discuss failing trust in science, why it will not be quick to fix the institutions or to people them with honest scientists, and the rebels in the hills who are keeping the flame alive. Also, the application of the phrase “safe and effective” to products that are neither. Then: hominids have been making and co...

you make me think
you all need to read Wendell Berry more often
Way to run cover for a Godless gatekeeper. 👌🏿
you should have Wes Huff on, very rigorous

agreed, thanks for pointing that out. we think we're doing good when we're undermining the very things we believe in. this is why we need a solid truth to base all other truths on. and that is God, and the truth is found in his word, and it is a basis. it was disturbing to hear Pam bondi's declaration on hate speech and it's just as disturbing to hear what so many public forums are using as an algorithm to suppress anti-semitic speech.
well done, men. thank you for this effort, much logic, good science thinking (not sweet of science or bad science :-)), and great care was put into this episode and I trust will be put into the rest of them in this series which I hope you will continue. there must be others who wish to join you on thisbut I gratefully and eagerly look forward to the three of you at the very minimum continuing this discussion for as long as it takes. how relevant it is to our current situation.
And we always love Heather's specificity with how she disagrees with you.
Hey, Brett, your followers know that you are not Eric. Nor are you Jeffery, and we know how to pronounce the difference. Eric is a very intriguing character in all of this. I was a subscriber to "The Portal", and his interview with the descendant of Nazis was great! I want to hear more of his conversation with Terrance Howard.
I felt like I was in on a conversation between two adults. this is what long-form podcasting is all about for real. you two guys not too long ago would have been part of groups belittling and demeaning each other with sarcasm and sound bites. I believe one of you is wrong and one of his right and another one of you is perfectly right only God is but it was good to hear it talked about logically and with care for one another. great podcast thanks
Oh, cry me another river! You had no early age molestation, physical abuse, or non-pharma drug use. You were prescribed what anyone who has preexisting conditions have been. Stop crying, you went to Harvard you privileged cunt!
i could not agree more with your idea that teaching needs to change to really reveal thinking. but I think we have so dumbed down what it requires to be a teacher, that they are now teaching to something that is nothing like what you describe.
vaccines save lives
Just tried signing the hope accord and it wouldn't go thru. I don't have an x account, even though it said it was optional, leaving that blank seemed to be the problem.
lrl
love how Heather undermines her claim with the sentence immediately proceeding. common parlance does change through natural means, and just because she has certain political biases (read low empathy) against certain genders doesn't mean that language hasn't indeed changed depsite her
at 1hr15min linen is made of the stalk of the flax plant just for clarification.
I can’t find the Jefferson quote re: even in a democracy, rebellion need happen with some regularity …
Shermer is the least skeptical skeptic I've ever seen. Truly a feat! 🤡 "Well they did an investigation" 🤣 wow
Pretty sure you meant 'Evidence-Free' .
