Today we discuss the reasons not to stay in your lane, wildlife in the Pacific Northwest, and whether Americans want a handout, or to be left alone. First: Bret responds to critique from Geert Vanden Bossche on his characterization of intramuscular vaccines and their capacity to produce mucosal immunity. Then: how science discovers reality, the risks of reductionism, and a hypothesis that generalists are more immune to corruption than specialists. Then: bald eagles and foxes compete to scavenge seal meat on the shores of the Salish Sea. Meanwhile in Canada, people are told they can’t go into the woods. Finally: young, and urban, Americans are more likely than older, or rural Americans, to want a handout from the federal government.

Occam’s Hammer
A game of Hammer, Paper, and Razors
It’s an interesting time to be alive, to say the least. What I find genuinely strange is how publicly impolite it has become to even mention corruption—or to question the motives behind wars overseas. It’s even more taboo to question the official narrative around the Charlie Kirk assassination.
When I was young, I used to watch shows with my parents like Murder, She Wrote, Perry Mason, Matlock, and Columbo. There’s nothing more addictive to me than a good murder mystery.
The entire Charlie Kirk assassination follows what I call Occam’s Hammer, where the public is bludgeoned to death with a narrative until they stop asking questions
Some of my relatives give me a hard time for not believing in God, although, I still go to church with them, when I happen to visit. I still act and behave as if I were religious, much like what Jordan Peterson would say before he was subverted by daily wire.
What I find interesting, though, about the Charlie ...
My Original Conspiracy "Theory"
The first podcast that I really fell in love with was Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, and also his political podcast Common Sense. That was when I realized that I actually do enjoy learning and enjoy reading.
Anyway, during a February 2014 Common Sense episode titled Poking the Bear, he accurately predicted that US meddling in overthrowing the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych (through what is called a color revolution) would eventually provoke Russia into invading Ukraine. Many political commentators noticed this at the time as well, not just Dan.

Well, I had my first huge red-pill moment back then. In 2014, I remember Dan, and other political commentators, were gaining traction pointing out the folly of US foreign policy but then in October 2014 then gay marriage was legalized and never again did I see any mention of Ukraine. To me, that ruling was too perfectly timed, ...
