We have "cartesian blinders being put on us so that we are trying to make sense out of scraps of information and hints." - @bretweinstein

WEINSTEIN: I mean, even if you have your villains who are engaged in the behavior that motivated this war in Iran, even if that's the story, presumably most of the people in the path of these ferocious bombings that he is describing are not deserving of going back to the Stone Age.

In fact, I distinctly remember him telling us that part of what we were up to was liberating the people of Iran from their tyrannical regime.

So if it's the tyrannical regime that justifies the ferocious bombing, then it's a tragedy that other people are going to be sent back to the Stone Ages with them. Right?

HEYING: It's it's not a narrative. It's an incoherent set of talking points.

WEINSTEIN: Yeah, it's a kind of cheerleading that is completely inappropriate from the perspective of the president.

Bret Weinstein discusses the Trump administrations "back to the stone age" recent remarks in the latest episode of The Evolutionary Lens, Episode 320 "Are we back in the stone age?" on DarkHorse.

Bret Weinstein explains, "If you stop businesses from starting here, and if you drive people so that they move elsewhere—even though it's difficult to do—then the point is the tax base dries up, which then forces you to become even more predatory for the people who stayed.

And that's really the thing, right? They're setting themselves up so that they have to go after more and more people, because the people who are starting new businesses are not going to do it here."

Bret and Heather discuss the time-traveling money printer in its newest instantiation: Trump’s monetization of Truth Social, wherein you pay to get a microsecond advantage in the market. Like so many before him, he’s becoming wealthy without generating wealth. But a president should be working to generate wealth for his country, and its citizens.

Then: discussion of risk, exploration and frontiers in the context of Pa Ingalls and the Little House on the Prairie series, the fearful response to such things by many women, and the motorcycle accident that their son Toby was just in. (He will be okay.)

Hunter Biden and Nick Fuentes

The push to mainstream Hunter into the podcast world

There was a time when I was fascinated with Nick Fuentes but, as I wrote about before, I do think he is a federal agent or at least someone who takes orders from the feds. I've already explained why I think that, so I'm not going to rehash it here.

Here is a link to my post from last year discussing why I think Nick is an asset

https://substack.com/home/post/p-178028530

I still find him fascinating as a cultural phenomenon.

I hope this is obvious to anyone reading this, Nick had to come down a few rungs to have this conversation with Hunter. Anyone immersed in Podcastistan over the last several years knows exactly what I mean.

Nick is like a grand chess master playing someone who’s decent at chess but has never entered a tournament. Hunter understands the rules of the game, but he’s never had to compete at that level.

That’s what made this interview so interesting. This is by far the most restrained version of Nick I’ve ever seen. Rather than ...
