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."
Tomorrow on DarkHorse Podcast Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying will discuss the Washington State ballot measures on parental rights, girls’ sports, and income tax. Plus, why “vote no, hate has no place here” has become the argument against them.

I Went Looking Into the Cornell 7 and Found a Different Story
Weapons research, suspended protesters, and a media blitz that lines up a little too well
Whatever happened that night in 2024, I have rarely seen such a coordinated media push behind one story. And if you look at the timing, it lines up with a growing battle between Cornell and student groups protesting the wars overseas. The more I dug, the more it looked to me like this story is being used as leverage against those students.
What I Didn't Know About Cornell
I recently found out how closely Cornell is tied to the weapons industry, and to Israel's military in particular. Its flagship New York City campus, Cornell Tech, was built as a joint project with the Technion, Israel's top engineering school, which critics have long called the "R&D wing of the Israeli military." Cornell has also hosted research sponsored by Israel's Ministry of Defense and by American defense contractors like Northrop Grumman, and weapons manufacturers recruit Cornell students through the ...
Drama in the CK Investigation Circles
In case you're wondering, a couple of operatives (of sorts) infiltrated the citizen journalist circles and were caught coordinating to discredit one of the researchers in the inner circle. It's a funny story for anyone interested. Essentially, a guy who goes by Jesse on Fire accidentally sent his instructions to the wrong guy. The instructions were meant for the person he's working with, and they laid out how to discredit a researcher who covered the Fort Huachuca story.
