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.

The reason why the CK story fascinates me so much is, much like the other mentioned stories, it diagnosis the system. And please please please don't tell me some young introverted with no history of violence was able to pull off the worlds biggest assassination since JFK. He's a D&D playing kid, suddenly was able to pull off a clean shot, just over 100 meters away (much like Thomas Crooks with DJT) and able to thwart the highest levels of security agencies. I mean, you can tell me that, but you are doing me a favor by signaling that you are not a serious thinker.
Anyways, as a somewhat seasoned podcast listener since 2010’ish, my original favorites were the likes of Dan Carlin, Jordan Peterson, and Joe Rogan. I bring that up because I’m starting to notice a ...
