In this 248th 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 begin and end by geeking out on biology: why there tend to be so many molecules in organisms that humans find useful (see: turmeric and ginger), why you can’t be both the fastest and the most agile anything, and new research that finds that some Atlantic fish with leg-like appendages can taste the ground with those “legs.” In between all that: an analysis of American political parties—where they’ve been, where they are now, and what might happen next. Also: self-indulgent whining from the Southern hemisphere.

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.

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?

This is an inspiring speech, but such an obvious "deep fake" - it's one little video clip played again and again, with amazing ai techniques to form the mouth and issue the proclamation... what a crazy ass world we live in
@bretweinstein Just finished the James Lindsay intervention on the Woke Right concept, lol. You can see from the comments that it didn't really go anywhere, which I and many others feel is James' fault, as you say, not formulating his argument well. It's either "not actually a thing," or "the normal thing that doesn't need another name (vanilla political activism, promoting your worldview via game theory/Machiavellian means)."
He mentioned Auron McIntyre as an example. Auron is fairly educated and very mild mannered, I've been following him for a while, and he was really reluctant to even engage with this stuff months ago, but James was so determined about it, so he felt obliged to respond. Since you can't get a straight answer out of James, I think it wouldn't hurt you to interview Auron to get his inverted take, maybe you can figure out what "Woke Right" means judging by how the targets of the allegation react. Auron, again, is a very reasonable, not extremist person who I think you'd ...
