Bret Weinstein on Odysee

Full episode on Karen Bass' opponent, Spencer Pratt and why AI is like degenerate intellectual communism https://youtube.com/live/WWnhO_hTQs...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuGi_swTuao

"The answer is interesting. It has to do with the fact that the way the drug takes out your consciousness, it leaves mechanisms—your proprioception is effectively left intact enough to keep you on your feet—resulting in what I think is technically called the fentanyl hang.But the point is, this is so extreme that we don’t have the proper language for talking about it."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI3OfCD6nj0

Heather Heying, during the most recent DarkHorse episode, shares that empathy for addicts should not come at the expense of functioning communities. Watch the full episode: https://youtube.com/live/WWnhO_hTQs8"This is a theme in Pratt's messaging: what we are seeing from the leadership of these West Coast cities, and from the states as well, is this suicidal empathy for those who have found themselves in a position where they cannot help themselves.And in some cases, they did that to themselves. And in some cases, society and the conditions into which they were born were working against them from the beginning. But regardless of how they got there, they are in a position where they cannot help themselves.And it is presumably our responsibility as a civilization to help those who cannot help themselves. It is not our responsibility, as citizens in a civilization, to prioritize their needs over our own. It is not. It cannot be. It never should have been.And the idea that we have been—many of us, not us, but many, many, many citizens, many individuals—have been conned into believing that it is an honor, it is a virtue, to value those who have less than you above your own success, above that of your own children, above that of your friends and family, that's absurd."*****Join us on Locals!

Bret Weinstein explains that "If what you do is deploy policy that at best is illogical and incompetent with respect to management. You will get decay.The bridges don't fall down all at once. They take time, because they were built competently to begin with, but things degrade and you can only prop up the policies that do this so long."Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying, native Angelenos, react to Spencer Pratt's run for LA Mayor on the most recent episode of The Evolutionary Lens, 327 "Spencer Pratt in the Era of Degenerate Intellectual Communism" https://youtube.com/live/WWnhO_hTQs8...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kafP2eC-TOs

Georgia Power's data center buildout is putting eminent domain back in the spotlight.

On this, our 326th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss government and tyranny, environmental toxins and the media, eminent domain, and memories of childhood. Former Washington state governor Christine Gregoire says the state doesn’t have an income problem, it’s got a spending problem—and that unpredictability from legislators is making it impossible for the business community to plan. Stochasticity is impossible to adapt to—for humans, and for other species too. In the most expensive Congressional primary race in U.S. history, incumbent Thomas Massie lost in Kentucky; his opponent was substantively funded by AIPAC. Young people supported Massie; old people did not. The Department of Fish & Wildlife has declared the widely used herbicide atrazine no big deal—but it very much is, beginning with the well-established fact that it turns the frogs…not gay, but aggressive and dysfunctionally hermaphroditic. In Georgia, eminent domain is being invoked to “liberate” people from their houses. And we end with memories of idyllic childhoods in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.*****Our sponsors:MUD\WTR: Start your new morning ritual & get up to 43% off your @MUDWTR with code DARKHORSE at http://mudwtr.com/darkhorse! #mudwtrpodSaunaSpace: deep radiant heat from red and infrared incandescence—detox and decrease pain, reverse screen fatigue and improve your mood. http://Sauna.Space/DarkHorse for 10% off sitewide.Helix: Excellent, sleep-enhancing, American-made mattresses.

On this, our 325th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss Hanta virus and drought. First: what is the natural history of Hantavirus, do any Hantaviruses transmit directly from human to human, and what is going on with the M.V. Hondius, the cruise ship on which Hantavirus has made a stand? Given its mechanisms of action, Ivermectin is likely to treat Hantavirus (a negative sense single-stranded RNA virus), but the WHO dismisses the possibility. Moderna is working on a Hantavirus vaccine, even though the Number Needed to Treat is sky high. What is going on? Then: in Washington state, we’re experiencing a very wet drought. The Department of Ecology has declared a drought (again), and the snow pack is low, but all other indicators—from rivers to reservoirs to soil moisture—are excellent. Cliff Mass, atmospheric scientist, puts the evidence in one place and calls bull on the drought diagnosis.*****Our sponsors:Xlear: Xylitol nasal spray that acts as prophylaxis against respiratory illnesses by reducing the stickiness of bacteria and viruses.

On this, our 323rd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss vultures, politics, and complex systems. Vultures, which have evolved multiple times (like mangroves, poison frogs, and “trees”), specialize on carrion. In India, a painkiller commonly used in people but toxic to vultures, diclofenac, came out of patent, began to be used in cattle, and the vast majority of vultures in India died. Downstream effects include the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and tens of billions of dollars in economic losses. Now in Africa, vultures are being poisoned intentionally, and a similar devastation is likely to happen. Vultures are ugly, smelly, and gross…and utterly central to the health of not just their ecosystems, but the people who live in and near them. Welcome to complex systems. Also: Katie Wilson, the mayor of Seattle, seems to be engaged in a kind of “scientific socialism,” akin to “scientific racism,” in which quasi-scientific ideas are used to justify (bad) policy.*****Our sponsors:Lovebird: Delicious, nutritious cereal made with real ingredients.

Bret Weinstein explains how Joshua Stylman, in the Inside Rail episode “Jews with Heterodox Views," demonstrates the "skill of the moment:"Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/35xxAK3VtRA"Acknowledging that you got stuff wrong is incredibly painful, but necessary to coherent thought. Never has been more necessary than in our current moment, because the ability for pure fiction, not myth that's useful, but pure fiction to be passed off as fact has never been greater. The sophistication of the fiction mechanism is profound. And so your ability to look at what you thought and say, 'Yeah, got that one wrong. Don't love it. But it's causing me to reinvestigate other things that I was pretty sure of.' That is that's the coin of the realm as far as I'm concerned.And it's an incredibly rare skill at this moment. People are punished for exploring it. So even people who have a primordial version of it are not elaborating that skill. They're retreating from it.So anyway, that's kind of I think why you and I are able to have this conversation. I got lots of stuff wrong and I'm investigating lots of things that I was pretty sure of."***** Join DarkHorse on Locals!

On this, our 322nd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the Cartesian crisis, whether going to the moon is valuable, and college in the age of AI. Before the ads, we discuss the nature of knowledge, and whether paying attention all the time, to all the things, can backfire and make a personal less capable of comprehension. Later: why go to the moon? An op-ed writer at The Guardian says there’s no point—there’s nothing to see, no one to talk to. We discuss the value of science—not just in terms of what we become capable of doing, but also for the human values of awe and wonder, openness and curiosity. As humans, we must encourage discovery, innovation, and exploration; we cannot cave to the fearful, provincial, and bland. Finally: professors and students are in an arms race over AI. A better move would be to seek two wildly different educational modes: one in which no outside sources of knowledge are available at all (e.g. a remote site with no cell service), and classroom-based work that encourages engagement and learning from and with the AI.*****Our sponsors:Branch Basics: Get 15% off Branch Basics with the code DARKHORSE at https://branchbasics.com/darkhorse #branchbasicspod Puori: Amazingly clean and safe supplements and protein powders, lab tested and guaranteed.

AI: the Mythos model threat2. Trump & his threat against Iran and the fragile ceasefire3. Nature of emergencies in Washington state 4. Memories of the Covid era...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnEXnGlR1mw

On this, our 321st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss AI, Iran, Trump, emergencies in the state of Washington, and stories from the Covid era. Anthropic, which makes Claude, announced that they are halting the release of their latest model due to unexpected capacities it has revealed. We discuss trade-offs, exploration, and game theory as they pertain to bats and planes, cats and humans, and LLMs. Then: did Trump make a genocidal threat against Iran? And: what emergency in the state of Washington could possibly apply to college tuition, out-of-state militias, accurate representation of sex on government IDs, and responding to pandemics? Answer: all the legislature has to do to make their ideas referendum-proof is declare that they are responding to an emergency—they do not even have to say what the emergency is. Finally: our memories of the Covid Era have begun to fade and morph, but it is important that we keep them alive.*****Our sponsors:Xlear: Xylitol nasal spray that acts as prophylaxis against respiratory illnesses by reducing the stickiness of bacteria and viruses.

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....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD7b6IkojXk

On this, our 320th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss whether it can happen here, or again. It is genocide. Growing up in a secular Jewish household in the 1970s and ‘80s, Bret remembers many discussions of whether it could happen again, and where, but it seems to be assumed that the repeated targets of atrocities cannot themselves ever engage in atrocity. Is this true? We discuss lineage selection, the nature of history and memory, diaspora, Israel. Also, the belligerence of the U.S. again Iran. Then: Washington state is allowing non-citizens to become peace and corrections officers, but if any in those positions make mean gestures or social media posts, they can be fired. Toxicity of both stripes—masculine and feminine—are in command in our political landscape, and we seem to have no good options.*****Our sponsors:ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.

Washington state has voted in the first ever income tax (for high earners), quick on the heels of its first ever capital gains tax, while still having some of the highest estate, sales, property, and fuel taxes in the country. Meanwhile, the cost of living is skyrocketing, and the quality of services declining. Our highways are third worst in the nation; our cities are filthy and unsafe; our schools are miseducating children (at best). Is the money being used for anything useful?Watch the full episode: https://youtube.com/live/t3U-d3KNkW8"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*****Join us on Locals!

Olympus Spa, a traditional Korean nude spa for women in the Seattle area, was told by the state of Washington, now upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that they must let men in, so long as those men think they’re women. Judge VanDyke’s dissent correctly summarizes the issue as one of “swinging dicks.”Full Episode: https://youtube.com/live/ZoZIte3T0EcHeather Heying explains: "These are such clowns. These judges are such clowns. And one of them’s a woman who apparently gives no fucks about the women and girls as young as 13, who might go to this amazing spa and be exposed to a very confused and mentally unstable man who’s got his balls and dick out. More likely, frankly, most of us who once went to this amazing business are not going to go anymore. They’re going to have put out of business a Korean family who happened to be conservative Christians because of what? Because of confusion about basic biology and ideology that is driving the entire state mad.Most all the West Coast, certainly the state of Washington.It’s frankly unbelievable. And I just—I love their outrage that is directed at the one guy who stood up, was like, “You know what this is actually about? I’ll tell you what this is actually about, since we’re so busy having decorum that no one is talking about it. This is actually about the swinging dicks...”*****Join us on Locals!

NEW on DarkHorse - Look for Episode 317, "Is Cell Phone Radiation Good For You?" wherever you subscribe to podcasts. "From your perspective, how good are your AirPods for you?The answer is: that depends if you’re a mouse that was bred in one of these idiotic protocols.If you are a mouse, where do you get AirPods? You probably want AirPods, maybe more than one set.If you’re not a mouse, then this is an indicator that it’s actually dangerous.The fact that the mice live longer is not good news.It’s bad news because a toxin that you will not tolerate well will function like chemotherapy, or in this case like radiation therapy does on a cancer patient."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbnZJgcw7fg

On this, our 317th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss radiation and its impact on (rodent) health, and the 9th circuit’s decision to let men use women’s spas. First: research published in 2018 finds that low levels of non-ionizing radiation—like that emitted by cell phones and air pods—are actually associated with life extension in mice and rats. Don’t get too excited—these are the same rodents whose breeding protocols have broken them in some counter-intuitive ways, including that low doses of toxins or radiation can actually slow down the cancer that will otherwise kill them. Then: Olympus Spa, a traditional Korean nude spa for women in the Seattle area, was told by the state of Washington, now upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that they must let men in, so long as those men think they’re women.

A new paper finds that infection tends to lead to greater frailty in older people. This reverses the causality of Terrain Theory of Disease (frailty of the body leads to greater susceptibility of infection), and also provides support for a prediction made by Bret and his co-author Debbie Ciszek in the unpublished, longer version of their reserve capacity paper from 2002.Watch the full episode: https://youtube.com/live/JCdGPJBQGwU?feature=share*****Join us on Locals!

Cleaning “spas,” massive brains, and mirror experiments."Do these truths about manta rays make them less beautiful to you? Have I stolen wonder from you by telling you some of what we know? Or rather, have I provided you even more basis on which to find more wonder, seek more beauty in the world? I hope that the latter is true." - Dr. Heather Heying reading the beginning of the chapter on beauty from her upcoming book*****Join us on Locals!

On this, our 316th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss health, science, and the Cartesian crisis as it relates to global events. First: a new paper finds that infection tends to lead to greater frailty in older people. This reverses the causality of Terrain Theory of Disease (frailty of the body leads to greater susceptibility of infection), and also provides support for a prediction made by Bret and his co-author Debbie Ciszek in the unpublished, longer version of their reserve capacity paper from 2002. Then: what we are seeing on our personal media feeds does not make us eye-witnesses to anything—not necessarily. Plato’s Cave of Mirrors means that we are all fed different media diets, and skills such as observation, discernment, and hypothesis generation, inherently fail when nobody can establish what is actually true. Recommendation: start comparing notes with other people as to what they are seeing, rather than what they think it means.*****Our sponsors:NOBS: NOBS is doing a nationwide rollout into 917 Target stores.

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.*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go towww.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 20% off your first order.Toups: Ready to give Toups a try?
