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.

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."
Bret and Heather will be speaking at Polyface Farm in Swoope, VA August 28-29th (along with many other incredible speakers). Find out more and grab your tickets before registration closes.
Bret and Heather discuss the WNBA, and the surveillance state. At the WNBA, only women can play, but they don’t define what a woman is; as such, two former NBA players have declared their eligibility for next year’s WNBA draft. In humans, as in all mammals, sex is binary and immutable. This is simple and fundamental, and denying it is delusional.
Then: Toka is an Israeli company that advertises “frictionless surveillance.” Toka’s technology can locate cameras not their own, remotely access them, and change footage, both previous and live; and they can disappear evidence that any changes have been made. What could go right?

Someone on here might know this. I subscribed to support Bret Weinstein because a) I like his work and b) I'm trying to get data on Covid19 mRNA vaccine injuries and don't know where to start looking.
I sent Bret an email and got a response that the best way to get a hold of him is to join this community, so I did. I sent a "Contact Us" request to get in touch with a creator which Bret will hopefully see and respond to but in the mean time if there is anyone out here who could point me in the right direction for that Covid19 mRNA vaccine injuries data, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you for your time.
