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 know the phrase “broke the internet” is overused but that episode truly did break the internet. What Elon did was an unforgivable sin because he circumvented traditional media, and their left wing biases, while also legitimized alternative media. Elon broke the unforgivable rule of going outside the tribe in which he was fed up with. Many of his career long supporters, such as my brother, turned their backs on him that day. What Elon did also set a new precedence and soon the likes of Bernie Sanders, Andrew Yang, and other politicians will mark JRE as a stop on their political campaign. Zero is a special number indeed.
Fast forward to recent history. Elon got shat on during his short leadership at DOGE. He had ...
