In this 241st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this week’s episode, we discuss food, science, and myth. Research out of Tufts University three years ago created the Food Compass—a new guide to what is healthy that rivals the Food Pyramid for sheer lunacy. Advising us that Froot Loops and Pringles are healthier choices than meat and eggs, the authors of that research are now promoting ESG + Nutrition, in which their Food Compass informs governments and private enterprise on how to get the population of the world to follow along. Then: What is history, what is myth, and when is it appropriate to stop talking and be quiet already? Real figures from history—Jesus, King David, Churchill—are also mythic; to what degree do the myths verge from the reality, and what are the conditions under which we are obliged to care? Also mentioned: the Censorship Industrial Complex, Pathological Noble Liars, and Dumbledore’s Army. Finally: a few words on the death of Paul Harrell, who advocated for the responsible use of firearms.

Dr. Bret Weinstein is running an experiment on himself. After a decade of avoiding wheat he has tried eating it while in Spain. In this update video he explains how he has been feeling and answers common questions around glyphosate and dry fasting.

No live stream today, instead Bret is running an experiment from Spain.
Do you have a wheat allergy? Have you been able to eat wheat in Europe without the symptoms you experience in America? After a decade without intentionally eating wheat, Bret Weinstein is running an experiment while visiting Spain - will the European wheat cause the same symptoms he experiences when stateside?

Over on Michael Malice's Your Welcome, @bretweinstein was the guest, and afterward, there was a Locals-only Q&A with Bret. The first question was "How would you respond to Scott Adam's conjecture that Simulation Theory is a better explanation for the world than Evolution."
First, props to Bret for pointing out off the bat that Simulation Theory and Creationism are functionally the same thing. Never thought of that, but obviously true.
But second, he extrapolates his own assertion, that the universe seems to be made expressly for evolution, there's too much evidence for it. Any theory that might assert that evolution is not actually happening, it's an illusion, would have to really make you question the character of that Creator.
God would have been DIABOLICAL to design a universe with evolution in it and hide Himself from it after?!? That only a MALEVOLENT god would create a fact pattern and physical structure and law of the universe to suggest that evolution existed just for yuks?
Au ...
Nothing new to anyone here, but Tom Bilyeu posted a detailed-yet-succinct summary of the issues with "experts." In a 30 minute recap, he covers the need for specialists, and the hazards of tunnel vision and calcification. I'm sharing not to educate you all, but to provide a tool you all could use to summarize 3 years of Dark Horse to your friends, ha.
Fascinating article about mitochondria.
“Diabetes, neurodegenerative conditions, cancer and even mental health illnesses are all emerging as metabolic disorders involving malfunctioning mitochondria.”
