On this, our 309th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss science and scientism, experts and expertise. Washington state Governor Bob Ferguson objects to the reduction in the Childhood Vaccine Schedule, and promises to bring “science” back to the state. In fact, the new recommendations are putting the U.S. more in line with what European countries recommend, and are quite conservative. Also, while Ferguson was the WA Attorney General, he imposed and enforced Covid vaccine mandates; many people lost their jobs and their livelihoods. Also in Washington: Brandi Kruse outs Democratic majority leader Jamie Pedersen as being unclear about the nature of male and female (or unwilling to say what he knows). On Broadway, Dylan Mulvaney, a male, will be playing Anne Boleyn, one of the most famous and influential women in history. Finally: words in honor and memory of Scott Adams.

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."
We're running out of fertilizer!
Didn't I read somewhere that Bill Gate's new corn doesn't need fertilizer? Wouldn't it be funny if he already has trucks standing by filled and ready to go?
I say, "Here comes the emergency that pushes the need". Don't forget to say thanks when you're spitting out fish gills while eating your government corn ration.
First the food, then comes the CBDC's, all while the world screams NOoooooooo!!!
Military Uniforms, Lab Coats, and Priest Robes.. oh my
How the military, science, and Religion are very similar
The last 5 years have been especially tough on me. There are so many people I know who took the mRNA shots and months or years later were suffering from serious illnesses. To make things worse, the same people I tried to warn absolutely resented me for it. I was a conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer asshole to them. And my friends/family are incredibly educated, having gone through nearby university systems and working high-powered jobs. Okay, fine, it is what it is. Merry Christmas, we all parted ways. What I didn’t expect was something incredibly similar would happen with my religious family in Georgia. First it was military uniforms, then men in lab coats, and now people in priest robes.
What very few people know about me is I’m a war vet. I served in Afghanistan in 2005–2006. Nothing serious, I did my duty as a Humvee driver. I was called up after I finished active duty ...
