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 Weinstein and Heather Heying will go live for Episode 344 of The Evolutionary Lens to discuss new cats, fat bears, and overwhelmed frogs.

"And so we fall again.
Summer’s exuberance gives way to decay, a slowing down, the falling of the leaves. Winter’s slumber will, in turn, cede to the springing of the leaves anew. A cycle, a circuit, a loop. We return, over and over, to the same literal place in our solar system. But we are never quite the same again."
Organic wisdom: revisiting old Q&A. In the recent episode with Joel salatin Bret confessed he now believes there is value in the old biblical stories and that there needs to be work done on how they are told modernly. Im glad you updated your belief as you told me otherwise in a Q&A. I'd like to hear more.
Storytelling around the biblical stories is actually my wheelhouse. So I desire to have a private conversation with you Bret and share with you the interesting things I've found. One of which I think your wife might find interesting which is how foundational stories influenced the jews to this day.
I hope to hear from you. There is still so much work to be done.
