Hey @bretweinstein @DarkhorsePod have you ever heard of Vox Day? He's a surprisingly influential character on the internet, and a Renaissance man. He was working in video game development during Gamergate, a quasi-predecessor to the Evergreen meltdown. But he's done a lot of other stuff too, was a conservative pundit writer where Ben Shapiro got his start, he has an electronic industrial band....
Most significantly to you, he just put out a book making cases against Neo-Darwinism, probably similar math based things you've heard from Stephen Meyer. He never mentioned you, so I doubt he knows about your Explorer Modes hypothesis. With you both unleashing these ideas almost at the same time, now might be a great time to have him on as a guest.
To sweeten the pot, there's one other area where he has a massive influence: The Manosphere. Chances are we've all heard these "alpha and beta" male metaphors, but your kids might be more familiar with newer terms like "Sigma male," it's become Gen Alpha established slang now... and it came from Vox Day. Since you also just had a few podcasts on that topic, you may also want to cross that with him!
Here's a recent interview about his new book: https://open.substack.com/pub/treeofwoe/p/why-is-the-probability-zero?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

Will European wheat have an effect on Bret Weinstein? This is Part II of his European experiment, the results.
Watch Part I: https://rumble.com/v6pns8o-is-bret-allergic-to-european-wheat.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp
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?

Hi Brett.
I would like to propose an upgrade to your upgrade. I finally got around to listening to your discussion with Joe on your hypothesis to enhancements of the evolutionary mechanisms at play and how we understand them.
What you laid out makes sense but to me still doesn’t quite explain how rapid changes can sometimes be, for example if environments change rapidly, and leaves some gaps for me around explorer mode. Your comparison to computing and coding, especially with storing variables, got me thinking to feedback loops. If we treat DNA as static code then the analogy in programming is building an old school program that requires the developer (evolutionary mechanisms) to make changes. If we hypothesise that evolution is smarter than that and the program is more akin to a modern self adaptive program (and why wouldn’t it be?), then what we should see is the ability for the program to change in a single organisation over the life of its time.
My hypothesis is that not only ...
