On this, our 315th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss war, breaches of promise, and manta rays. Why are we at war in Iran, when this president promised “no new wars”? Removing dictators and strongmen from the world is honorable—but will the Iranian people thrive after this move, or will this look more like Iraq? Can we reconcile what Secretary of State Rubio said about why we started the war, versus what Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said? Then: Kansas has reversed course on letting put a chosen gender identity on official documents rather than your biological sex—to the good—but they did so in a way guaranteed to create havoc and make things very hard for the people who need to get new IDs. These are people who broke no laws, but are being treated badly by the state as if they did. Finally: manta rays are extraordinary and deeply intelligent; we share footage and words about them. Finally, a shout out to Covid Era Stories.

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 ...
