In this 114th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we talk about Truckers for Freedom, the movement and protest of “passionate, patriotic and peaceful” people who are standing, in Ottawa, against mandates and for freedom. We discuss the unacceptable death of a young woman, as described by her grieving mother, and media coverage that conveys the opposite of what is true. We discuss GoFundMe, and recommend the hashtag #GoTruckYourself. We hear words from Canadian politicians, and from a corporal in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who speaks of his duty to neither comply, nor be complicit, with unlawful policies and regulations. We discuss Joe Rogan, flak over the target, crossing the Rubicon, and grief.

https://open.spotify.com/episode/7LB9DkxkwNK2em5lphKHfo ***** In this 115th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we talk about the two tiers of society: vaccinated and unvaccinated. Then we discuss the more hidden, and more dire, tiers being introduced first by the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, and now by Homeland Security, in its crackdown on mis-, dis-, and mal- information. We briefly discuss the war on pineapple. We celebrate, again, the Truckers for Freedom, who are standing for freedom and democracy in Ottawa, and whose compatriots are at the Coutts border crossing in Alberta, and the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor as well. We discuss the class component of these protests, and the middle-class’s often erroneous understanding of what working class people do and do not do. We discuss fact checking and rent seeking; also: Twister Sister and Beethoven. ***** Support the sponsors of the show: Sole: Beautiful shoes and carefully designed footbeds for healthy feet.

In this 116th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss a hypothesis regarding the mechanism by which mRNA vaccines may cause myocarditis. We discuss fear and safety and how fear is used to convince us that we can do with less safety—in things from vaccines to transgenic trees. We discuss Ukraine, a bit, and fairness, and fixing the system so that we can be strong and liberal again, and we read two Wendell Berry poems, and a letter from a Canadian named Matthew.

In this 117th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), vaccine mandates, and how very non-inclusive many arts (and other organizations) are being while they claim to be embracing DEI. We discuss the entraining of humans via mask mandates, and through prescriptions on how and where to walk. We talk about the policies that have been put in place “to protect people from Covid,” and how ineffective, or anti-effective, many of them have been. We discuss the value of meandering, of serendipity, of not knowing what the path will be. We discuss the value of work, and of spending time generating solutions. We discuss whether, as some have claimed, the mRNA vaccines are “gene therapy,” and what would that mean, according to the FDA’s definitions of same. We share an excerpt from Orwell’s 1937 The Road to Wigan Pier, which bears striking similarities to today’s economy. We discuss the price of lumber.

In this 118th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss mask mandates, which end today on most of the West coast of the U.S. We discuss our approach to masks (and other things) two years ago, in March of 2020. We talk briefly about detransitioning, and its relationship to the public health response to Covid. We discuss Orwell’s position on socialism (and fruit-juice drinkers, and feminists). And we discuss why the origin of SARS-CoV2, and its likely development and evolution through serial passaging, makes a difference in how the virus behaves in humans.

In this 119th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss science, sophistry, mis- dis- and mal- information, and making sure that people on the fringe remain there. We discuss corruption, and the lab leak hypothesis for the origin of SARS-CoV2. We briefly discuss Hunter Biden’s laptop, before talking about Lia Thomas, the trans swimmer who competes successfully as a woman, after having competed unsuccessfully as a man. We talk about last names, and naming conventions in culture. And we talk about inclusion.

In this 120th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the definition of woman. What are women? Adult human females. What are adults, and humans, and females? Are we suffering a plague of sophistry? (Yes.) Must we turn this around? (Yes.) Are humans ever hermaphroditic? (No.) What about banana slugs? (Yes. What about them?) And clown fish? (Also yes—again, so? They’re clown fish, not humans.) We discuss the evolution of sex and sex roles (aka gender). We talk about Genetic Sex Determination and Environmental Sex Determination. We discuss anisogamy and monoecious and dioecious plants, and it’s interesting and not full of uninterpretable words. We do not discuss the paired hemipenes of snakes and lizards. Our apologies.

| 03 Apr 2022 | #121 Welcome to the Noble Psy-Op (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:28:15 | |
In this 121st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the newly published Together trial on the efficacy of Ivermectin in treating Covid, and the media’s response to said publication. We discuss mass formation, as detailed in Mattias Desmet’s book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism (not “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” as Heather said during the podcast; that is the name of Hannah Arendt’s 1951 tome). We discuss the left’s eagerness to be on the side of science, when it suits them, and we mention Solzhenitsyn. And we discuss the need for evidence-based medicine.

| 09 Apr 2022 | #122 Retroactive Cancelation & Rights of Passage (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:46:00 | |
In this 122nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss cancellation for being woke, and for being medically woke. We discuss vitamin D, latitude, altitude, health and allergies. We talk about teaching children how to think, not what to think, and about Margaret Mead’s retroactive cancellation. We discuss coming of age in Samoa, New Jersey, among the Amish, and in the era of Covid. We talk about what the Amish do and do not engage in, and whether everyone should be aiming to go to college. We discuss how many progressives have sold out our values in the last two years—and before—and risked reversing decades of actual progress. We talk about Nuremberg, and vaccine mandates, and a GenX revolution.

| 16 Apr 2022 | #123: Surviving the Poison Pill (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:34:19 | |
In this 123rd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss Elon Musk’s twitter play, and the implications for censorship, and the new public square. We discuss the modern impulse to make binaries of things that aren’t (e.g. political opinions), and to reject binaries that are real (e.g. sex). We talk about puberty blockers, and their non-reversibility, and whether “gender identity” is a real thing. And we discuss great evolutionary theorist W.D. Hamilton who, in the late 1990s, warned of the coming “hospitalization” of humans—an observation well worth considering in the Age of Covid.

This week, we discuss the biology, geology, and conservation of the Bahamas, particularly the Exumas islands. How do parrotfish turn coral into sand, what’s up with tropicbirds, and what does it mean that all Caribbean beaches have trash on them? Apologies for the sound quality during the videos.
We also discuss the lifting of federal mask mandates on transportation; the White House arguing that “affirmative care” for children who say they are transgender is “best practice”; the new czar of disinformation, brought to you by the Department of Homeland Security; and whether our President is fit for office. Finally, we spend a few minutes talking about ancient children playing in the footprints of giant sloths, and whether Indiana Jones was correct in suggesting that little scorpions are scarier than big ones.

In this 125th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the new current thing. The new current thing is not the Pfizer data release that happened this week, although perhaps it should be. The new current thing is the leaked draft majority opinion from Judge Alito, Supreme Court Justice of the United States, which reveals that Roe v. Wade is likely to be overturned. We discuss abortion, abortion policy, and what Americans say when they’re polled about these things. Is there a hard-and-fast line to draw? Does biology provide insights? We argue that abortion is not a women’s issue, per se, but an issue that pertains to all humanity, while also being a feminist issue.

In this 126th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss science, Covid, vaccines, sunlight, and sophistry. New research suggests that adenovirus-vectored vaccines (e.g. J&J, AstraZeneca) reduce all-cause mortality, but that mRNA vaccines (e.g. Pfizer, Moderna) do not. What are the implications of this? What kinds of vaccines are recommended and effective, and how can someone not trained in thinking about these things know? We also discuss the role of vitamin D in Covid outcomes, as well as NIR (Near Infrared Radiation), which we primarily get from being outside. Since before the Industrial Revolution, our exposure to NIR has declined dramatically—we spend less time outdoors, and now even our lightbulbs and the glass in our windows limits how much NIR we receive, but it turns out that we need it. What else do we need that we don’t yet know about? Finally, we discuss the place for sophistry: in the classroom, where students can learn how to respond, so as to be better thinkers and citizens of the world.

In this 127th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss observations from recent travels—how the world looks as it emerges from 2+ years of restrictions and lockdowns, and what it feels like to have conversations across both significant differences, and shared points of view. From Santa Barbara to Washington D.C. to Bath and London, we talk faith, BlackLivesMatter and AllLivesMatter, rocketry, SCOTUS, national museums, Covid dissidents, the vaccine injured, pathology, predictions, and more.

In this 128th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning: What is it to be human, how much responsibility to we have for finding our own way, and how can we find hope, and meaning, even at the worst of times? Then: people have a moral obligation to grapple with the downstream effects of their own arguments, from medical claims to cries to defund and vilify the police. In the wake of yet another mass shooting at a school, what is the state of the 2nd Amendment? What is the interface of modern politics with homelessness, addiction, mental illness, and crime? And what is happening in the governor’s race in California?

In this 129th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss whether we might be in a dark age—an era in which “all of our structures of knowledge are plagued by errors, at all levels, from the trivial to the profound, periphery to the fundamental” (from Patterson essay, linked below). We discuss the failure of academia at all levels, including the fact that specialization has fractured knowledge, the processes of academia have been conflated with the processes of scientific investigation, and the corrupting influences of both governmental and private funding are nearly ubiquitous. We attest that those most enthusiastic about widespread adoption of novel medical technologies should be particularly interested in making sure that those who are injured by such technologies are recognized, and helped. And we discuss what a woman is, and why the very question—and the remarkable number of forms that answers take—points to the epidemic of sophistry that we have discussed before.

In this 130th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the state of Portland, Oregon, two years after protests and riots made a mess of the city. Still found on the streets: entreaties to abolish the police, and protect “black trans sex workers,” and to attend a pride brunch that is actually a “drag queen brunch.” And yet when you talk to people, you almost invariably find that the veneer on the surface is not what it seems. Few people seem to agree with the coerced consensus: that letting people camp and shoot up and defecate on sidewalks is being compassionate to them; or that men can become women. We discuss whether a minority’s self-declared rights should be allowed to infringe on already established rights of others. And we discuss the self-assembly of rackets to fill niches—such as Covid testing centers that are both lucrative for those running them, and mandatory to participate in activities like international travel, and camp.

In this 131st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss why so many things, in modernity, and right now in particular, are labeled the opposite of what they truly are. What we are told is safe, is toxic; we are told we must do, we should not. How did this happen? Beginning with a tale of scientific discovery in the 1990s and early 2000s—involving telomeres and cancer and senescence and mice—we arrive at one answer: if the powers-that-be have insight, they are better served by keeping that insight to themselves, by refusing to share it. And so: all the newspapers, all the universities, all the everything, are failing. We also discuss baby formula—why you might want or need it, and share a recipe from a naturopath that will be far better than anything you can (or cannot) find on the shelves. And we discuss fathers: genetic fatherhood, biological fatherhood, cultural fatherhood. There are many ways to be a good father.

| 26 Jun 2022 | #132: 50 States not in a Roe (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:29:44 | |
In this 132nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and how both individuals and political entities on both “sides” are responding to it. We discuss the implications of whether other organisms might use abortifacients, and how fuzzy categories are revealed with the discovery of a giant bacterium. We discuss whether twitter is sanctioning violence, while saying that they are doing the opposite. And we discuss the recent reveal that the CDC, despite seeming to claim the opposite for well over a year now, is now acknowledging that they have not been analyzing adverse events from the Covid vaccines.

| 06 Jul 2022 | #133 Corruption, Efficacy, and the Rise of the Trad-Vaxxers (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:45:33 | |
In this 133rd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the surge of Covid cases during the northern Summer. We talk about a new paper which finds that the mRNA vaccines against Covid do more harm than good, and the fact that both Canada, and the state of Washington, are implementing new vaccine mandates now, despite ever growing evidence that the Covid vaccines are not doing what we were told they would do. We ask whether Elmo knows what he’s talking about when he advocates for young muppets everywhere to get vaccinated. And Heather talks to an anti-vaxxer who turns out not to be an anti-vaxxer at all; she is a trad-vaxxer. Then we discuss Jordan Peterson’s twitter suspension, and what “deadnaming” means, and whether it’s a real thing. Finally: what is the value of work?

In this 134th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss Howard Zinn, scones, and the existence of God. We discuss accidents and injury, and Bret proposes a hypothesis for why his recent bicycle accident happened. We discuss memory, frame rate, electric unicycles, and motorcycles. We discuss the moon: the full moon, tidal locking, Oliver Sacks, viewing the Earth from outside of itself, and Apollo 11, which launched 53 years today, and would result, a few days later, in humanity’s first moon landing. We discuss isopropyl alcohol: it is not only a wonderful antiseptic, disinfectant, and cleanser, but also, apparently, an effective stunner of flies.

In this 135th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss how, with regard to Covid, natural immunity compares to vaccine-induced immunity. Is the omicron variant unique in this regard? What science has been done to address the question? When is it acceptable to cite a preprint, and when must you absolutely, positively rely solely on peer-reviewed literature? What did the world do to deserve wrestling with this virus into an unspecified future? Are the Attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana on to something? Political violence in this country is being pursued by the January 6 committee—but how much of it is being included? And: is peer review value added, or value subtracted? Also: how alarmist are glaciers?

This week, we discuss the tragic tale of a woman who became a murderer….or actually, we discuss a murderer who claims to have become a woman. We talk about the order to close Tavistock, the gender identity clinic in England, and whether “affirmative care” for children who declare themselves trans may soon be a thing of the past. We discuss Wikipedia, which was once the Universe’s best encyclopedia, and how far it has fallen. We discuss definitions, including the definition of “recession.” And we discuss the drinking age for young adults. ***** Support the sponsors of the show: Farrow SkinFood is a lard-based skincare company with products that nourish the skin without preservatives or added chemicals.

In this 137th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the academy, and ask: does DEI belong in science? If the answer is no, are we contributing to a hostile or alienating workplace? We argue that it is the DEI enthusiasts who are creating hostile and alienating spaces for all of the rest of us. Then: laboratory of the self, and some hypotheses about pain perception, illness, and pathogens. Finally: land sharks. Who are they, what do they want, and how do they get where they’re going? ***** Support the sponsors of the show: Seed: Start a new healthy habit today with Seed probiotics.

| 13 Aug 2022 | #138 Thou Shalt Follow the Science (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:30:25 | |
In this 138th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss what fatwas and cancel culture have in common. Why are we allowing zealots to decide what we can say and do by fiat? The circuitry of religion has an ancient history (even when it goes off the rails, as in the attack on Salman Rushdie); it is being hijacked by a secular cult. This new cult is targeting apostates, and heretics. The new cult does not admit when it is wrong—the CDC simply puts out new guidelines that recommend treating vaccinated and unvaccinated people as equivalent. The new cult sneaks in ideology when you’re not looking. The new cult is anti-science, anti-reality, and anti-democracy.

In this 139th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss whether reality is going to be tolerated—by internet randos, by magazines supposedly devoted to disseminating scientific findings to an interested public, and by actual scientific journals. A new editorial in Nature Human Behavior is breath-taking in its rejection of the scientific process and values, and, therefore, of reality. Then: what anti-scientific buffoonery is behind not allowing unvaccinated-against-Covid Novak Dvokovic, argued by some to be the best tennis player ever, to compete in the U.S. Open? And: what is the New York Times up to? ***** Support the sponsors of the show: Wisdom Health: Get your health back by working with functional medicine practitioners.

Bret Speaks with Steve Patterson on the subject of today’s world and what we face as time progresses. Some of us have begun to wonder, given the vast array of unscientific beliefs that recently echoed across civilization, are we entering a cryptic dark age? Might we be living in one already? Steve Patterson, a philosopher and independent researcher, has reached an even more unsettling conclusion. Despite the remarkable pace of technological progress, we have lived our entire lives in the scientific dark.

We also discuss the not-so-prestigious journal Transgender Studies Quarterly, and its take on species concepts, and also on the “Trans*-Ness of Blackness.” We discuss the new research that finds that covid vaccines do affect women’s menstrual cycles, and also the shortcomings both in that research, and in the Washington Post’s reporting on it. Bret offers pro bono marketing help to Pfizer. And we talk about Great Britain’s medical regulatory agency (MHRA) moving from its role as “watchdog” of outside entities, to that of “enabler.” Our store: https://www.darkhorsestore.org Our book: A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century: https://www.amazon.com/Hunter-Gatherers-Guide-21st-Century-Challenges/dp/0593086880/).

In this 146th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss science, art, and the shared values and virtues between them. We often discuss how science and scientific institutions are failing; this week we discuss the failure of artistic institutions, as well as the political ideology of Wikipedia, which is destroying it from the inside. We also discuss how twitter is protecting those who do harm, and punishing those who would stop them. Also: Bret offers an invitation to Robert Wright.

| 19 Oct 2022 | Support and Defend: Bret Speaks with more Military Whistleblowers | 01:51:48 | |
In a follow up conversation to last week’s episode, Bret speaks with two more active and past duty service members about their experience in the US military during Covid, they seek to convey their experience over the last few years in the, and make it known what process is underway in our military. ***** Ms. Jordan Karr, former USAF: Jordan Karr is a former USAF Intelligence officer. She served 9 years on active duty to include multiple deployments and was recently separated in May 2022 over the COVID vaccine mandates. She has an active IG complaint against her chain of command for forcing her out of the service, with only two weeks notice, and not allowing her the due process to see her religious accommodation request through. She comes from a family of veterans. Her sister is a space force officer who, once a high performing officer, received adverse paperwork after she was discriminated against for her religious beliefs. Jordan helped initiate multiple lawsuits against the DoD and is a plaintiff in Coker v Austin. She is vocal about medical freedom since the reason she did not want to get the vaccine, aside from the fact that it is an unlawful order, is due to her fertility disorder. She was denied a medical exemption because the DoD only recognized 3 criteria, based on whether a member was vaccine injured from the first shot. Through her own journey, she has found that the military does not cover fertility treatments, though they are likely the cause of many of the fertility issues that service members suffer through in silence. She has received countless messages from service members and their families asking for help and sharing their own medical struggles, from cancer to fertility disorders. Her goal is to restore the integrity of the military to a fighting force and to advocate for changes in the VA system. Major Grant Smith, USA: Grant is an infantryman turned physical therapist focused on optimizing human performance in the U.S. Army. He promotes holistic health and fitness of Soldiers in Fort Riley, Kansas as one of the Army's first Division Holistic Health and Fitness Officers. Grant created a 501(c)(19) veterans organization aiming to support current and former service members and spouses who are committed to American values in bids to hold political office (americasveteranparty.com). He serves on the Truth For Health's Military Advisory Council (https://www.truthforhealth.org/) advocating for medical freedom. He draws energy every day knowing that great Americans numbering in the millions are intent on engaging in principled, purposeful action to conserve the American way of life. ***** Find Bret Weinstein on Twitter: @BretWeinstein, and on Patreon.

In this 148th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss elections and democracy. What happens if we start investigating the relationship between pharma/Pfizer and the public health apparatus? Are there any patriots left in politics? We also discuss twitter, Elon Musk, and the “pause” being taken by some former advertisers on twitter. Then: what precisely is going on with the bivalent vaccines against Covid—is it whiz-bang scientific cleverness, or whiz-bang scientific recklessness? Finally, what is the difference between black-face and woman-face? ***** Our sponsors: Vivo Barefoot: Shoes for healthy feet—comfortable and regenerative, enhances stability and tactile feedback.

In this 149th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss certainty. How certain are you of your positions—on the efficacy of masks, SARS-CoV2 origins, mRNA vaccines, Ukraine, elections, trans, CRT, the police? Has your certainty changed over time? We discuss whether people on a particular side of many fraught issues are more likely to have adopted a position, and a level of certainty, from authorities, and never had it change. We discuss apology, and what a real apology sounds like, and how it should be received. We also ask why so many cities, and those who live in cities, are celebrating mental illness and addiction, rather than working to actually help those afflicted. Being anxious and confused doesn’t mean that the rest of us should go along with your contorted worldview; in fact, it is our duty not to. ***** Our sponsors: Western Razor Company: Use code DARKHORSE at www.westernrazor.com/darkhorse to get 10% off your order on excellent razors, without the hype.

In this 150th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss how myriad stories of failure and corruption might be linked together beneath the surface by systems of power that know more about where we are headed than we are being told. With the collapse of FTX this week, connections between woke ideology and covid ideology have been made clear. A coming centralized bank digital currency is implicated as well. We also discuss twitter, and whether it is “just” a social media platform, or if it has a chance of replacing legacy media in bringing us the news. Then: how should doctors respond to those who ask for Covid vaccine exemptions? And finally: do cats understand when humans are talking to them? Are cats savvy enough to ignore strange men who give orders? Are humans?

In this 151st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the difference between people who crashed and burned in the last few years, and those who remain standing. What was your position on SARS-CoV2 origins, vaccines, early treatment, masks, when those topics first came to your consciousness? Have your positions moved? Has your model of the world become better over time, or has it remained static? Static models of the world are doomed to failure, even when held by those with some heterodox beliefs. Also: what does wordle have to do with any of this? And is Elon Musk really opening the gates of hell? Finally, how to eat pears.

| 30 Nov 2022 | Locking the Gates of Dentistry: Bret Speaks with Dr. Mike Mew | 02:06:27 | |
Bret Speaks with Dr. Mike Mew for the second time on the Darkhorse podcast. Dr. Mew is working to tackle the problem face, jaw, and teeth alignment from an evolutionary perspective. His approach, known as orthotropics, has been widely successful in those with whom he has worked; he now faces the potential loss of his license to practice dentistry in a tribunal going on as this episode is released.

| 03 Dec 2022 | #152: Free Speech: The Kanye Case (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:27:42 | |
In this 152nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the free exchange of ideas, in light of Matt Taibbi’s revelations about how the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop was censored inside Twitter, and Kanye West going explicitly antisemitic on InfoWars. Why should Kanye be heard, given that what he is saying is awful? We also discuss chemist Anna Krylov’s newest piece, who has seen first-hand what happens when ideas are censored and events disappeared. The National Science Foundation awards a large amount of money to an organization called Hacks/Hackers, who use that money to “discover” that Bret is a conservative who spreads vaccine misinformation. Meanwhile, Pfizer mocks people who try to figure things out for themselves, and receives a Reuters Pharma Award. That is not a typo.

| 18 Dec 2022 | #153: Science So Big (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:28:51 | |
In this 153rd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the committee newly empaneled by Florida governor Ron DeSantis to explore Covid policy and treatment, in which Bret is a part. It has been roundly mocked in the media, who cite a truly remarkable piece of non-research that contains no new data, no references, and methods and results that cannot be assessed. We discuss Science magazine’s editorial that deifies Fauci, Nature magazine’s editorial claiming that science is hard and we’ll never know what happened during Covid, and the White House’s Summit on Equity and Excellence in STEMM, which threatens to create Harrison Bergeron University. Finally: do female snakes experience sexual pleasure? Tune in to find out all about hemiclitores.

In this 154th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss the new Newspeak, as promoted by Stanford and its list of very bad words. While recognizing that, in a few rare cases, they have a point, overall this list and its enforcers are batshit crazy. And what it leads to is worse: we discuss title IX compliance officers, the dude who thinks it’s fine to hang out in women’s spas and other spaces, and the savage woman-hating multiple murderer who is likely to end up in a women’s prison. None of this is okay.

In this 155th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss USDA organic certification, Whole Foods, and why people make inconsistent decisions in their own lives. We talk about new research published in Science Immunology that finds that the degree to which people are mRNA vaccinated against Covid is correlated with a paradoxical immunological response (with regard to IgG4). We discuss new research published in The Lancet, which pretends to be about how women are faring with monkeypox, but is actually largely about men who are pretending to be women; we also review The Lancet’s final op-ed of 2022, which bemoans a “breakdown of trust in the state and in scientists.” Finally, we discuss how glass frogs become transparent: by sequestering blood in their livers.

This week, we discuss new research on the mechanism of action of ivermectin against SARS-CoV2. We also discuss several organizations that have lost the plot: the Red Cross (with regard to who can donate blood), the American Museum of Natural History (with regard to who should be educating teens on the viral outbreaks), and a science conference (with regard to “non-normative sex expression in plants”). Finally, we ask whether Heather lost the plot back in the fourth grade when she categorized birds for a science project.

In this 157th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss antibodies. Why is the public health messaging around immunity focused on antibodies, when there is so much more to immunity? Also, the Department of Defense has finally dropped vaccine mandates for the military, and the federal government has affirmed that we are in the middle of a Covid-19 “health emergency” for the 11th consecutive time. The American Academy of Pediatrics is now suggesting the remedy of drugs (at 12 years old) and surgery (at 13) for children suffering from the “disease of obesity.” We’re no longer supposed to use the word field, according to both USC and Michigan’s Dept of Health and Human Services. And male pufferfish make elaborate geometric designs in the sand, all for the love of female pufferfish.

This week, we discuss cancellation. How do mobs get to people and coerce them? Once cancelled, how immune are you? What are the lessons learned when going through the looking glass? Also: why do searches for “alpha male” and “gender norms” yield such bizarre results? And: why are we allowing the phrase “Adult Attracted Minor” to spread, as if it isn’t normalizing pedophilia? And Bret invites Sam Harris to talk to him: on DarkHorse, in a mediated conversation, or on QPARK.

This week, we discuss how to predict things that reliably turn out to be true, especially in the public health sphere: use the scientific method, employ a generalist toolkit, and engage in campfire conversations. We also talk about the Project Veritas video of a Pfizer executive discussing what Pfizer may be discussing, Pfizer’s official response to that video, and what the implications are societally and scientifically, and how this might be framed using Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

| 05 Feb 2023 | #160: The Middle Ground Scramble (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:56:55 | |
In this 160th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss why sport has different categories for men and women, and actors and actresses are up for different awards, but sculptors, scientists, and screenwriters aren’t assessed by sex. What is the difference, and why does it matter? Should music awards be divvied up by sex? How about surfing competitions? Then we discuss how never to end up in another situation in which the authorities are spouting nonsense, they somehow convince far too many people that they are the voice of science; and dangerous, unscientific policies are made that will affect millions for a long time to come. Many people who consider themselves heterodox thinkers got it very wrong throughout Covid, but now claim that those of us who got it right did so through contrarianism or luck. Wrong, and wrong. ***** Our sponsors: House of Macadamias: Delicious and nutritious macadamia nuts, in all sorts of configurations.

| 11 Feb 2023 | #161: They’re Making Our Point (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 02:11:56 | |
In this 161st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss Godot, dogs, and science. Do the New York Times and the Brookings Institution have insight into what’s true, what’s not, and how science is done? Could they define hypothesis, prediction, or test? We think not. New “research” out of Brookings claims that we are leading purveyors of misinformation, who “burnish [our] scientific bona fides” by using tricky terms like “correlation” and “causation.” Brookings having established that we are cranks for discussing scientific articles that are on pre-print servers (and so haven’t been peer-reviewed), we point to Nature’s discussion this week of…a scientific article on a pre-print server. Finally, we discuss how you might use a scientific approach to increase your odds of surviving in the Indonesian rainforest.

In this 162nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss John Campbell’s discussion of an autopsy report, and his discussion of drug recommendations in 2020 Britain raises, which raises serious questions about medical intent. We discuss scientific models—the good kind—and how Campbell’s first video reveals the correctness of our model of mRNA vaccine injury. Then we discuss a research paper, Wanzhu et al 2023, which purports to find that people vaccinated against Covid are less likely to go to the ER, to be hospitalized, and to die, than are unvaccinated people who have a history of Covid. We discuss whether or not this is true. Finally, we discuss the role of stigma and shame in a functioning society.

| 26 Feb 2023 | #163: Making Medicine Modern (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:41:27 | |
In this 163rd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss individual vs. public health, and whether the failures of the last three years are due to an over-reliance on clinical reasoning. (Spoiler: they’re not.) Rather, the failures are due to a lack of evolutionary thinking, in combination with reductionism and a reliance on both metrics and credentials. Then: continuing last week’s discussion of how models are the product of science, how do we assess the claim that shedding caused a case of myocarditis? Finally: race relations are disintegrating in some circles, and that seems to be the obvious result of race-baiting by supposedly well-intentioned “liberals” wielding DEI initiatives. There is a widespread move to shame people for things that are immutable (e.g. race), celebrate bad things that are mutable (e.g. kinks), and pretend that immutable things can change (e.g. sex).

| 04 Mar 2023 | #164 Science, Race, Death, and (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:40:49 | |
In this 164th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss science, race, death and sex. No, really. Science: why it is critical—in science and in sense-making in general—to separate the observation of a thing, from the interpretation of what it means. Race: why acting to protect yourself from individual bad actors is different from avoiding whole demographic groups. Death: Daniel Ellsberg, who released the Pentagon Papers, revealed a terminal diagnosis this week. We discuss him, his legacy, and death more generally. Sex: How can different lifestyles—e.g., “neo-trad” vs polyamorous—co-exist in a functioning society? Or can they? Also, we begin with a brief conversation about the Inca.

In this 165th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week we discuss mis-, dis-, and mal- information, and terrorism, in light of testimony before Congress regarding the Twitter files and government interference in the exchange of information. We learn how the government would like us to quash narratives that it finds displeasing or inconvenient. We discuss the nature of respiratory disease and pandemics, and consider how much of the destruction that happened in the last three years might have been iatrogenic: caused by medical treatment (rather than by the virus). We consider what happened in 2018-2019, during the Spanish Flu, and the evidence that much of the damage then might have been iatrogenic—specifically from exceedingly high doses of aspirin. And we share the words of theologian Paul Tillich, who broadcast warnings and passion into Nazi Germany, his homeland, to reach the people and encourage resistance.

In this 168th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week we discuss twitter mobs, and Thomas Sowell’s Intellectuals and Society, with example after example of how the media filters reality and creates fiction while burying reality: from famine to homelessness, gun control to unemployment. We also discuss science, a field—like journalism—that is supposed to be working in pursuit of truth. Then we return to the question of AI, and whether two pieces out this week that suggest a moratorium, or something stronger, are the right approach. Finally: Do male armadillos, like all the rest of mammals who have been studied, get erections during REM sleep?

In this 169th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week we discuss sports bras, Twitter, AI, electric unicycles, and AIDS. Sports bras are a useful item of clothing for women engaged in certain kinds of sports; they are not a fashion accessory, but are being used as such, and as a weapon in the culture wars. Then: Substack announced a new product that will be compete with Twitter, and Twitter responded with chaos; “friendly fire” between two of the few companies that seek to protect free speech is bad for everyone. Also: what are electric unicycles, and how fun and safe are they? Finally: discussion of Celia Farber’s book, Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS, with some comparisons to what happened during Covid.

| 22 Apr 2023 | #170: It’s my Earth Day too, Yeah (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:46:28 | |
In this 170th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week we discuss the sun and the Earth. Near Infrared Radiation (NIR) from the sun penetrates deep inside our bodies, where it stimulates our mitochondria to produce subcellular melatonin, a potent antioxidant. Spend time outside to reap the health benefits. And: It is Earth Day! Let us reject reductionism, specialization, and dependence, and remember our roots on the land, making and growing and producing things with our own hands: let us be producers, not merely consumers. Always, we can learn from Wendell Berry. Also: how could the Biden administration be making such a foolish mistake with mortgage rates, why did it take so long for MIT to drop their Covid vax mandates, and how awesome is that spike protein?

In this 171st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week we discuss why businesses aren’t acting like businesses. Why did Fox fire Tucker Carlson? Why did Anheuser-Busch hire Dylan Mulvaney? Why did Twitter of old throw people off for engaging in WrongThink? Why does YouTube continue to strike people for talking to the wrong people—people like democratic candidate for president Robert F Kennedy, Jr? Part of the answer is in the ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) agenda. ESG is social credit for corporations, and it is being used by Goliath to facilitate a new kind of fascism. ***** Our sponsors: Seed: Start a new healthy habit today with Seed probiotics.

In this 172nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
First up this week, we discuss Spring and sea stars (also known as starfish, and asteroids). Then we discuss “new” research being discussed in the New York Times which finds that long telomeres shorten life, a prediction made by Bret over 20 years ago. We discuss hypothesis, theory, science and citation, and observe that “science” doesn’t seem to have learned anything from the giant scientific debacle that was the signature of the Covid era. Finally, we discuss modernity, fertility and feminism, and point out—not for the first time—that we cannot go back, but must go forward with caution and care.

In this 173rd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
First up this week, we discuss SARS-CoV2—again!—in light of new research that finds no evidence for a zoonotic origin at the Huanan Seafood Market. Science is not faring well these days. We also discuss AI “doomers,” and why that’s a misleading epithet. A new product that’ll keep your produce fresh with absolutely no downsides is now on fruit near you! And a hummingbird makes an error.

In this 174th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
The Press Secretary said this week that “These are our kids. They belong to all of us.” Conservatives had a predictable meltdown. Is she right, or is she wrong? What are the “sides” in this debate? Are there more than two sexes? Can a human transition between sexes? Are we sliding back towards regressive gender norms, and embracing social contagion and mental illness? With regard to a Florida bill restricting gender transition interventions for minors, an ER doc said that it is his job to “take care” of people, regardless of their beliefs. True. But what does it mean to take care? The two sides in this debate fundamentally disagree about what constitutes care. Finally, Bret invites Eliezer Yudkowsky to debate AI, LLM’s and complex vs. complicated systems.

The decline of science at the FDA has become unmanageable—so argues BMJ, a leading medical journal, and they’ve got the receipts to back up the claim. Meanwhile, the FDA is advocating that we all work to stop the spread of misinformation, and that sunlight is the enemy. Also: the cost of silence. When editors at prominent publications hide the fact of their vaccine injuries, we all suffer. And a look back at the important book, Where There Is No Doctor—and its advice on vaccines, medications, and more.

In this 177th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
Picking up from last week, how has the book, Where There Is No Doctor, been updated for the 2022 edition? From breast-feeding to medicines, obesity to sterility, the book has remained excellent in many ways, while adopting a few modern errors. And in 1992, it recommended 5 vaccine shots for young children; now it recommends 15 - 17—why the change? Then: how can we bootstrap rules for how to think about in an increasingly confused era? We discuss important concepts that are easily abused—like “controlled opposition” and “the right side of history”—and the meaning of the Trump indictment and the Defender 23 NATO exercise in Europe.

| 17 Jun 2023 | #178: Cheating as National Pastime (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream) | 01:47:21 | |
***** Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v2up8u5-bret-and-heather-178th-darkhorse-podcast-livestream.html *****
In this 178th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
Should men be competing in women’s sports? Do men who do so exhibit sophistry and cheating? What are the implications of Trump’s arraignment, and of the fact that MSNBC would not live broadcast his speech afterwards? What is going on with carnivorous plants? How are they like mangroves? Do they ever switch between being carnivorous and not? And what about that species in Borneo that collects the poop of tree shrews?

***** Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v2vg6l3-bret-and-heather-173rd-darkhorse-podcast-livestream.html *****
In this 179th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
We begin this episode by discussing the hazards of mind-reading: Does disagreeing with a Day of Absence mean that you are racist? Does being hesitant about Covid vaccines mean that you don’t think Covid is a serious disease? Does not wanting trans-identified men in women’s shelters and prisons mean that you think that at all trans people are dangerous? Then we discuss shenanigans in Covid vaccine efficacy analysis, which would make even a placebo look like it was effective treatment. And we discuss RFK Jr and Rogan’s recent conversation, and responses to it. Is Ivermectin effective against Covid? Are childhood vaccines dangerous? How would we know? Do we have the information that we need in order to figure it out?

In this episode we discuss higher ed—its goals and freedoms, how it is failing, what can be done to fix it. We discuss a thought experiment regarding the Special Olympics. We discuss new research on sex differences in certain kinds of cancers, and the reporting on it. And we talk a bit about hummingbirds.
