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.

Does anyone else get a bad feeling about what’s happening in Minneapolis? It feels like people’s hatred for Tim Walz is blinding them to the broader implications of a military-like occupation of a city, something that could just as easily happen elsewhere. This does not seem like a good-faith effort, either; otherwise, as Bret has mentioned, there would be discussion of Chinese nationals as well. The focus on the Somali narrative, meanwhile, feels every bit as manufactured as the weapons-of-mass-destruction narrative was. Even if the Somali fraud stories are true, they are likely a fraction of the fraud committed every day in Washington, DC, through USAID, NIAID, or similar institutions.
