The 311th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

On this, our 311th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss what is happening in Minneapolis. First: research finds that on average, men and women experience empathy differently: men do not have empathy for people who have done wrong; women have empathy for people regardless of context. Then: Was the Alex Pretti shooting by ICE officers in Minneapolis a cold-blooded murder, or a justified homicide? How would we know? Few of us were actual eye-witnesses to the scene, but our modern media environment tricks us into believing, unconsciously, that we know more than we do. This feels like Portland in 2020. We are being manipulated into disjunct narratives, taught to distrust and fear one another, at ever greater distance from simply being good neighbors and fellow citizens. Finally: an invitation to submit Covid Era Stories.

Is Bret allergic to European wheat?

No live stream today, instead Bret is running an experiment from Spain.

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?

@DarkhorsePod The whole vaccine story reminds me of the lack of fear people have when flying on an airplane. For example, if a 4-year-old child were to fly for the first time, that child might be nervous and excited, maybe a little scared, but ultimately calm and quiet.

If someone from 200 years ago experienced the same thing without context, they might have a heart attack and think they were about to die a horrible death. We take it for granted how normal it is to fly.

The difference isn’t the physic but the social context. The child isn’t afraid because everyone around him is calm. The adults act like everything is normal because they’ve read the statistics and they’ve flown dozens of times before. The child takes solace in their resolve.

Public trust works the same way. People feel calm when they believe a system has a long safety record and when the signals around them are consistent. When something new is introduced under the umbrella of that trusted system (e.g. vaccines), the ...

So in the bizarro world of the Epstein saga, come to find out that, the whole covid response was the brainchild of Epstein, Who IS this guy? For reference, the below in a 6-part series on what the files revealed in regards of pandemic planning. I was listening to Bret talk to Jeffrey Tucker, and the things they were wondering if they were on purpose: YES, all of it was pre-planned YEARS ago, by Epstein, Gates, et-al:

The TPUSA Story Is Bigger Than People Realize

Subtitle: it's a subversive movement like the Moon Cult

There is a massive coverup going on with TPUSA, even ChatGPT won't help me write this post, well not without adding tons of disclaimers and allegedlies (sp?) (and shaming me remorselessly for even suggesting a crime took place other than the official narrative fed slop).

But yeah, TPUSA is a sinking ship, and based on reporting from people who have been tracking the story daily for 5 months, their donors are fleeing.

In my professional armchair opinion, Charlie's death was a military operation and there is 5 months worth of evidence accumulating, and more each day. For anyone who pays attention to this story for more than an hour, it is nearly impossible to believe the mainstream narrative and that a 30-6 high power round was stopped by neck muscle :-P

As Bret said long ago, some stories diagnose the entire system, it's not that I am obsessed about this, it's more about seeing how Goliath ...
