In this 243rd 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 the evidence for the traps being laid by Goliath, continuing last episode’s discussion of the presidential debate. Then: sex, gender, meaning, and identity. What kind of science is being done that concludes that sex and gender are not just distinct, but unrelated? And why are 10 year olds being asked if they’re transgender, or how much they feel like a boy, or a girl? While “scientists” use models to produce results that make no sense, adolescents stop pursuing meaning, which is dynamic and expands one’s horizons, and instead focus on identity, which is all too-often a static dead-end.

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?

I may be viewing this site wrong but there doesn't seem to be many user posts. I'm also a member of VivaBarns. That site has lots of user posts. But that's not really the reason for this post. Just a suggestion that it would be nice if this was a fairly one stop shop for all things Heather and Bret. Meaning if there is an appearance on another podcast or whatnot, it be nice to see it cross posted here. Like I caught a glimpse of an Iran war debate moderated by Bret on "X". I haven't search it yet, I'm sure I can find it. But again... It would be nice if things like that were cross posted here. Thanks for your Time!

I sometimes wonder whether there were large-scale moments before Covid that were design to experiment to how people would react to Covid. My own personal Conspiracy theory (hypothesis), here me out, is that the final season of Game of Thrones was a social engineering experiment.
I remember at the time, everyone I knew absolutely loved the last season of GOT.. It was obviously different, and done in a hurry, but everyone understood that it was better than nothing, it was better than the waiting for George R. Martin to finally finish it many years later. But it was still awesome anyways, I remember each episode we would be jumping out of our seats.. whether it was Hodor when he finally held the door, the battle at winter fell, Arya killing the Night King, the hound fighting his brother, Daenerys decided to torch King’s Landing, or when Jon killed Daeny.
A year later, the very same friends would all repeat what the media was saying is that the final season of GOT was an epic fail (just ...
