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."
I sent in a question for the Q&A over a year ago, where I asked B&H "If the sensation of color in vision comes from the frequency of light, and the spectrum of light runs from low frequency red through high frequency ultra-violet... why do we use color wheels? How does red loop back into purple?"
They did a lot of speculating, and they were fairly close. Here's their original answer, at 1:31:00

Here are some other folks with the definitive answer, since they had time to research, and it's surprising! PURPLE... IS AN OPTICAL ILLUSION. @bretweinstein
Heather writes: "We are fully embodied beings. Our thoughts emerge from and with and of our bodies.
Your body is not at your command, or failing you, or getting fit, or struggling with illness—you are it and it is you. If your body and mind do not feel integrated, you have, in some form or another, disintegrated. It is time to find re-integration.
All this talk of bodies should raise a question, however. What is a body?"
