On this, our 337th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss how Western society is treating its children. First, the good news: the Department of Justice, working with AGs in Texas and Ohio, have effectively shuttered two major “gender care” clinics, and extracted promises to create clinics to support people in detransitioning. It’s about time. But: why is there a Trump banner on the DoJ? This is not typically how Americans do things, for good reason. Add the Trump branded passport, and $1 coin, and there’s a definite Dear Leader vibe going on. Politics has taken over analytical thought—today, all you have to do is know who stands for a thing, and you know whether you do or do not agree. (See the protein panic currently taking blue-media outlets by storm.) Then: a Yale law professor says the insane part out loud. Finally, a guy caught taking out Flock cameras suddenly has a lot of friends, at least on-line.

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."
Bret and Heather discuss Russell Brand: his history, his character, his recent convictions and sentencing. What does consent mean in the modern era—is it a concept that can possibly do what it needs to do? Other concepts under discussion are rape, statute of limitations, charisma, and redemption.
Then: how a story of a failed co-op reveals deep divides.

A funny thing happened to me the other day. I was talking to a former coworker about why I think mass immigration into the country is harmful in many ways. We had a friendly exchange, and I thought the conversation was going well. Eventually, she said she enjoys talking about politics, which shocked me. To me, how is that political? It's not like anyone voted on it, and nobody knew about it until far too late. But somehow, even expressing concern about it is a Republican thing to do?
I find the same line of logic when it comes to being injected with chemicals. Most people I know frame it as a political position, not as a question of personal health and safety in the least (never mind concepts like informed consent and bodily autonomy, which many of them are passionate about when it comes to reproductive rights).
I really take offense at being called an anti-vaxxer, even though that's ...
I’ll admit it. I was one of those dirty Candace Owens fans. Kinda still am, maybe? Still making sense of what is happening.
What hooked me was her series on French President Macron’s wife, and specifically her penis, built on the reporting of Xavier Poussard. An American podcaster taking on the president of France over his wife’s anatomy. I thought it was the most American gangster thing I’d ever seen. I was in.
For a while, watching Candace felt like watching Jordan Peterson in the early days, or Joe Rogan before he got involved with the gambling industry, or DarkHorse, of course, of course. You know, a dissident speaking truth.
Then, almost overnight, it all fell apart.
The fight that made no sense
Here’s the setup. Candace was heading into maternity leave pregnant with her fifth child, a boy she announced back in June. Meanwhile, a fight was brewing that seemingly had nothing to do with her....
