On this, our 301st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss grief and mourning, and what makes us human. How many distinctly human traits will we prune away before we realize that we have gone too far, that there is too little remaining of humanity to be resurrected? From the Industrial Revolution(s) to that of AI, now we’ve got apps that threaten to keep your loved ones “alive” forever, with none of the valuable complexity that ancient grieving traditions offer. Then: bonobos show evidence o...
On this, our 300th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss where we started back in March 2020: Covid, lockdowns, sunlight, masks, repurposed drugs, grainy videos, and more. Then: the recent and on-going massive solar storms, and how to think about them, now and in the future, especially if you find yourself away from home as a civilization ending event may be about to happen. Also: space weather, or anthropogenic climate change, or both? Finally: Rod Dreher on the groypers among D.C. zoomer...

Today we begin with Nick Fuentes—how did he go from a guy with Jewish friends, to someone who is proudly anti-Semitic? Why does “anti-Semitic” now have so many meanings? What are the differences between preference, discrimination, and bigotry? Then: Bill Gates changes his tune on climate change—or does he? His new memo still sounds the alarm about Carbon, but also privileges his pet projects of vaccinating the world and handing agriculture to the technologists. Finally: manta rays, how smart ...

Today we discuss Harvard, higher ed, public health, AI, and political cheating. Harvard has announced the suspension of several graduate programs, as well as hiring and other budget freezes, claiming poverty due to the suspension of federal grants. But Harvard’s revenue last year was $6.7 billion, and their losses amount to 1.7% of that. Meanwhile, Trump wants Harvard to run trade schools. Then: vaccinologist Paul Offit admits that natural immunity was always superior to vaccine-induced immun...
Today we discuss the experience of returning home after timeway—culture shock, social media, and seeing your home with fresh eyes. Then a difficult set of topics: anorexia, physician assisted suicide, “terminal” diagnoses, social contagions, and what people have a right to do with their own lives. Finally: AI has been used to predict potentially useful drug combinations to fight cancer. What does this mean for the future of medicine, and AI? 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: https://988life...

Today we give a tribute to Charlie Kirk: who he was, how he engaged with people, and what we lost when we lost him. Kirk was a patriot, a Christian, a husband and a father, and believed in the humanity of all people. Then, for the living: regenerative agriculture, Polyface Farm, and the rejection of Big Ag in favor of real food and community. ***** Join us on Locals!

Today we discuss MAHA, vaccines, Covid, autism, and ostriches. Senator Ron Johnson held a hearing on the corruption of science, at which Jake Scott (MD), Toby Rogers (PhD), and lawyer Aaron Siri testified about vaccine safety testing and the relationship between vaccines and autism. The new MAHA Strategy report attributes poor diet, aggregation of environmental chemicals, lack of physical activity, chronic stress, and overmedicalization to the decline in children’s health. Meanwhile, people w...
Today we discuss RFK Jr. the CDC, autism and trans activism. Kennedy revealed this week that in 2002, the CDC destroyed data that showed that children who got the MMR vaccine before 36 months of age had far higher rates of autism than did those who get the vaccine later in life. An HHS report will soon be released that ties Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism—what does this tell us about past public health advice, safety and risk? How can we all become better at pattern recognition? Florid...
Today we discuss the dust-up at the CDC, in which RFK Jr. fires the new director, after which other CDC officials resign, and eight former directors of the CDC pen a letter to the New York Times (as does Bernie Sanders) arguing that Kennedy is a hazard to our health. This follows a reveal from months ago that industry was collaborating to get rid of Kennedy. Also: What does Trump now think of Operation Warp Speed? How has industrialization affected our health? How are the words “vaccine” and ...
Today we discuss childhood, fitness, and self-defense; the through-line is freedom. First up: Illinois has become the first state in the Union to mandate mental health screening for children in grades 3 – 12, so that conditions from trauma to anxiety can be detected early. How mandatory will these screenings be? How confidential? What is anxiety, and why are children better off learning to experience and solve their own anxiety, than to be coddled at every turn? We argue that anxiety—like pai...
Bret Weinstein speaks with Forrest Maready on the subject of the dual nature of AI, discussing both its potential benefits and risks, particularly in relation to human suffering, dependency, and the evolving concept of truth.

Today we are all over the map. First: Elon, AI, and humanoid robots, with discussion of sex, the industrial revolution, specialization, the Pleistocene, feminism, men’s work, porn, clankers, and vaping. Obviously. Then: are there differences between moral panics and social contagions, and is the current focus on pedophilia one or both? Finally: how widespread is fraud in science? It’s not rare, and not merely the result of bad actors. Taking a game theoretic approach, authors of new research ...
Today we discuss the reasons not to stay in your lane, wildlife in the Pacific Northwest, and whether Americans want a handout, or to be left alone. First: Bret responds to critique from Geert Vanden Bossche on his characterization of intramuscular vaccines and their capacity to produce mucosal immunity. Then: how science discovers reality, the risks of reductionism, and a hypothesis that generalists are more immune to corruption than specialists. Then: bald eagles and foxes compete to scaven...
Today we discuss the cancellation of mRNA vaccine contracts by Secretary Kennedy. What are the risks, are they as limited as he suggests, and what can we look forward to from this technology in the future? Conversation includes Covid and the Covid shots, repurposed drugs, and the nature of science and knowledge. What does it mean for a claim to be credible—socially, or analytically? What does MAHA stand for, are their limits to hypernovelty, and how can we return to a more ancestral environme...
Today we discuss “gender affirming surgeries”, AI and the future of cognition, and wild foxes. Kaiser Permanente is pausing surgery on trans-presenting children—we discuss sex and gender, meaning and identity, delusion and madness. Then: unlike the physical multiverse, mental multiverses are common, and becoming more so, as AI makes it ever more difficult to know what is true. We discuss grief, and how our worlds must fork when we think, but do not know, that someone has died. Similarly, when...

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' .
this one sounds like he is in the bathroom and she is on zoom......
@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
