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."
Cornell Is Not What It Seems
I'll be honest, a month ago I didn't know much about Cornell beyond the fact that it's an Ivy League school somewhere in upstate New York. Then the "Cornell 7" story was suddenly everywhere, and the more I dug into it, the more I realized I didn't understand the place at all. So this is me laying out what I found, in four parts.
Part 1: Cornell Is Not What It Seems
I didn't know that Cornell was so closely tied to Israeli military research and the American weapons industry.
The biggest connection is the Technion, Israel's top engineering school. Cornell Tech, the university's flagship campus on Roosevelt Island in New York City, was built as a joint project with the Technion, and the two run the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute together right in the middle of it. They jointly award graduate degrees. The Technion isn't just any university, either. Critics have pointed for years to its joint programs with the Israeli military and its cooperative research with Elbit and Rafael, two of Israel's biggest weapons companies. A faculty and ...
Drama in the CK Investigation Circles
In case you're wondering, a couple of operatives (of sorts) infiltrated the citizen journalist circles and were caught coordinating to discredit one of the researchers in the inner circle. It's a funny story for anyone interested. Essentially, a guy who goes by Jesse on Fire accidentally sent his instructions to the wrong guy. The instructions were meant for the person he's working with, and they laid out how to discredit a researcher who covered the Fort Huachuca story.
Bret and Heather discuss the Cornell 7, sex in modern times, and the plague.
Civil charges have been brought against seven men and several institutions, including Cornell University, by a woman who claims to have been drugged and gang-raped in a fraternity house on campus in October 2024. We go through legal documents and journalism about what happened and discuss consent, drinking and drugs, the Greek system, and what sex has and has not become.
Then: a woman has died of plague in Russia; is a global pandemic coming? We discuss what to look out for.
