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 Cornell 7, sex in modern times, and the plague.
Civil charges have been brought against seven men and several institutions, including Cornell University, by a woman who claims to have been drugged and gang-raped in a fraternity house on campus in October 2024. We go through legal documents and journalism about what happened and discuss consent, drinking and drugs, the Greek system, and what sex has and has not become.
Then: a woman has died of plague in Russia; is a global pandemic coming? We discuss what to look out for.

The battle between David and Goliath was brought up by Jeffrey as the metaphor that we health-aligned folks believed in regarding RFKj's and ilk's appointments to government. They were supposed to be the rock that David, our champions, took Goliath down with. Jeffrey laments that we underestimated Goliath by a long shot.
The subsequent events to the slaying of Goliath in the bible story might be telling. What happened next, as near as I can recall, was that David's pals, feeling really tough all of a sudden and seeing the dismay and enervation of Goliath's gang of thugs (army), set upon them with great gusto and annihilated them or drove them off.
David's pals didn't say "oh- hey that's great, the big guy's dead, the future is bright" and then just go back to their tents. They said to one another something more like, "Hey, the big bugger's down! Let's get 'em while there's still tears in their eyes!"
Blessings be upon the ones of us who are acting on that observation, like Bret and ...
