In a recent DarkHorse Private Q&A Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, both PhDs in biology, answer a Locals Member question about boogers.Q: "Funny one. Why do kids pick their boogers and eat them? Is there an evolutionary advantage? Forgive me if you've already answered this one. Love you both! Thanks for all you do."Bret Weinstein starts by summarizing his answer: "Two adaptive explanations, for which I do not have a high confidence … One, it's a resource and this is a way of recycling it. Two, it may contain information and that information may have an adaptive utility."A Q&A is coming up this Friday, join the DarkHorse Locals community to participate https://darkhorse.locals.com/support...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4lJCzjEuio

Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying discuss a new paper that reconstructs NOAA data from 1,200 weather stations from over 100 years, uses a different metric than NOAA does to describe the data, and concludes that the world—or at least the coterminous U.S.—is not heating up in the way we have been told. Heather circles back to a point that was made at the opening of the episode "Sudden Flood in Tibet," on the importance of paper."We still have the original reports that were written on with ink by people over 100 years ago. And if we were just trusting what NOAA was telling us the data were, those would be missing."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCLvHLQOp0Y

Bret Weinstein sat down with Nathan Cofnas (a philosopher of biology and self-described race realist) on DarkHorse to discuss race, evolution, and what explains differences in intelligence.WEINSTEIN: "Let me sum this up so that the audience knows what the hell we're disagreeing over.I am not arguing that differences in capability in a language don't exist at an individual level. They're profound. I'm not saying that intelligence doesn't differ between individuals. They are profound differences. What we disagree over is what the likely explanation is for how those differences came about.And my point would be we see profound distinctions in facility and language, for example, that are clearly the result of developmental differences. I mean, the most obvious of them is that you don't grow up in China and find yourself speaking Swedish. Your facility in Chinese has everything to do with the fact that Chinese is what's in the air around you.And my point is that we are underrating — because we can measure genes and because they seem very powerful to us — we are underrating the largely still mysterious mechanisms of cultural evolution that shape the way we think, the way we communicate, the way we partner in thinking. All of those patterns are staring us in the face. They are profoundly important and likely explanatory of many of the differences that I hear you attributing to genes.And so that's where the question goes. What is the causal explanation for the distinctions you're pointing to, not whether the distinctions are real?"...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p59arv5ArXA

On this, our 340th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the recent flash flood on the border of Nepal and Tibet, climate science, and the nature of evidence. What commonalities are there between a glacial dam breaking and flooding the valley below, taking out towns and villages; Dry Falls and the Columbia River Gorge in Washington state; the Boxing Day tsunami in the Indian Ocean; and the 2011 earthquake that resulted in the destruction of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan? In some cases we have to infer what happened; in some cases we have direct observation; in all cases we have to construct a plausible story that fits all of the evidence. Meanwhile in climate science, a new paper reconstructs NOAA data from 1,200 weather stations from over 100 years, uses a different metric than NOAA does to describe the data, and concludes that the world—or at least the coterminous U.S.—is not heating up in the way we have been told.

Bret Weinstein on the Jason Arday tragedy:BRET: Can I say something terrible that I think is true, but it's just awful?He was Cambridge's mascot. He was like a pet. He was like somebody they could trot out and bring to dinners and he would do tricks for them. And the point is, your pet has certain expectations, right? They were treating him in this way because he was doing something for them. And so he was reaping the rewards from doing what he had been asked to do. And I do think that's a freaking tragedy.HEATHER: I agree, that is a tragedy.I think you're right, it does sound horrible. And I think you're right — he was effectively their mascot. He was effectively their pet. But he was also a man. He was also a human being.BRET: But my point is, the men we admire get there through a route that punishes them for doing the wrong thing, for taking the shortcut, for being cowardly, whatever it is, and rewards them when they delay gratification and they invest in something and they tough it out and all of the things that turn you into a man. And if you create the developmental environment that does the inverse of this, you will get the inverse....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln_J7O2bofc

Bret Weinstein explores the rise of fanaticism and how it feels from the inside. Covid vaxxers vs anti-vaxxers; traditionalists vs libertarians; and climate science deniers vs enthusiasts.Bret explains, "the experience for somebody who tries to do the analytical work on any one of these topics that have been evaporatively cooled — the experience is, 'Wait a minute, why am I suddenly defending my decency? Why is my morality in question?'And this is the hallmark. You can watch it happen. There's some question. Is the evidence consistent with the official narrative, or is it more consistent with a conspiracy? That's an analytical question. But if you are on the wrong side of it, the suspicion about you is that you are morally defective. There's something wrong with you that you would see it that way.And the wrong thing is not about analytical disagreement. It's not about the weighting of evidence. It is about your character."Hear Bret's full model for looking at fanaticism on Episode 339 of The Evolutionary Lens, available wherever you subscribe to podcasts....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_dndlDN8lA

Bret Weinstein shares why Flock is the shallow end of the privacy pool with Toka, an Israeli firm backed by Andreessen Horowitz and co-founded by a former Israeli prime minister, which sells governments the ability to reach any internet-connected camera, alter what it recorded, and conceal that anything was altered. This is based on Josh Walkos's research pulled together on an X thread.Watch the full episode, "We are Beyond Flocked" on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/9QkBjYK-HYg?feature=share*****Join us on Locals!

Biologist Dr. Heather Heying praises the recent actions of Royce White and Enes Kanter Freedom. "Some on the sort of pseudo left over in trans camp are calling this, for instance, a stunt. It's quite the opposite of a stunt.The trans thing — the part where dudes put on wigs or fake boobs or nothing at all, and say that they're women and compete against women, either because they just like to win even when they're cheating, or they actually like to beat up women if it's that kind of sport — that's the stunt. Like, you already did the stunt."Heather shares that she believes the push to enter the WNBA by White and Freedom is a "brilliant move on both of their parts."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NCyXjGPPSQ

Bret Weinstein and Peter Boghossian discuss the new Director of the CDC, Dr. Erica Schwartz and her belief that mRNA vaccines are "safe and effective." Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/2K0FEBa71b0"Dr. Erica Schwartz, Dr. Jason Arday, are variations on a theme, right? One of these people is much more serious in a sense than the other, but they are taking advantage of the fact that there's a niche — you know, in the case of Erica Schwartz, there's a niche for an attractive, black, yes, well-spoken person who can lie to the camera about matters of life and death and it doesn't faze her."Plus a confession from Bret:"Here's the confession, and it pains me to say this, but I feel a moral obligation:I misjudged Thomas Sowell before knowing much about what he thought. When he was introduced to me as a concept, before I'd seen his work, I felt like I knew the story: a black conservative gets embraced by the right because it's so useful to have a black conservative saying something that is surprising to hear from such a person.Only when I encountered his actual work did I discover — no, no, no, no, no. This guy is an intellectual powerhouse. His blackness is completely irrelevant to what he is saying. It may call attention to it, but I think that's all well and good because from the point of view of the quality of the thinker, he's absolutely top-notch."*****Find Peter Boghossian on X at https://x.com/peterboghossian and on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/@drpeterboghossian. *****Join DarkHorse on Locals!

Bret Weinstein shared a story that caused him to fall off his chair on Episode 338 of The Evolutionary Lens on DarkHorse.The surveillance company Toka makes Flock look like "the shallow end of the frickin' pool."Toka is an Israeli company that advertises “frictionless surveillance.” Toka’s technology can locate cameras not their own, remotely access them, and change footage, both previous and live; and they can disappear evidence that any changes have been made. What could go right?Bret explains, "I don't want to live in a world where a person can be erased and the people who did the erasing run no risk because they have a subscription to a service that allows their crime to be perfect. That's really what this is."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70SYo7YclT4

On this, our 338th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the WNBA, and the surveillance state. At the WNBA, only women can play, but they don’t define what a woman is; as such, two former NBA players have declared their eligibility for next year’s WNBA draft. In humans, as in all mammals, sex is binary and immutable. This is simple and fundamental, and denying it is delusional. Then: Toka is an Israeli company that advertises “frictionless surveillance.” Toka’s technology can locate cameras not their own, remotely access them, and change footage, both previous and live; and they can disappear evidence that any changes have been made.

Evolutionary biologist, Dr. Bret Weinstein's message to the right (in response to the Yale law professor NY Times interview suggesting children shouldn't be the "hostages of their parents"): Bret explains, "A brood of children that is the product of a monogamous relationship is genetically united much more than a brood of children that have different fathers. So from the point of view of the view of western civilization functioning the way conservatives correctly think it should function, they're leaving cards on the table that shouldn't be left on the table. These are cards that should be played. This guy in his tie with his high-minded diction is a madman. He's, I mean, or he's under the spell something and you know he might wake up from it one day. But nonetheless, the idea that rando 24 year olds who by the way are not like God-given instantiations of something, these people are the product of schools that suck and the online environment which is a battleground. So what they think they know isn't real. The idea that anything should supplant the natural alignment of children is preposterous."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZuIQj7KVmI

Heather Heying repeats Yale law professor, Samuel Moyn's claim that children can become "hostages" of their parents.

Biologist, Dr. Heather Heying shared that this is one of her foundational beliefs on a recent episode of The Evolutionary Lens on DarkHorse. She goes on to explain, "the idea that you feel like a man or feel like a woman is a fabrication. You just are a man or a woman, or if you have not yet gone through puberty, a boy or a girl. And all boys who go through puberty become men and all girls who go through puberty become women."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aL2qr6szm8

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.*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 20% off your first order.ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.

"Senator Paul is saying to Anthony Fauci, you are committing a crime today. You are refusing to answer a lawful question that this committee has a right to ask and you do not have the right to decline to answer and you're declining anyway.You are in contempt, right? So the point is that's a new crime. It's one for which he does not have a pardon.And here's what's going to happen..."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U6Mtph89C4

Bret Weinstein explains that the best way to think about Fauci after the Senate Hearing is as a made man."Thinking of him as a made man in a mafia, whose name we don't know makes a lot more sense of what you saw. What he was effectively doing was a flex. He was sitting there and saying I don't have to answer your question, because who the hell are you? Congress? What's that?"...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM2vdpZEo28

On this, our 336th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the Covid Era in light of the Senate Hearing on the testimony of Anthony Fauci. First: excerpts from several Covid Era Stories, reminding us of the atrocities, tragedies, and ludicrosities (yes) of that time. Then: is Fauci’s refusal to answer any questions put to him by members of the committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs evidence that he is, in effect, a made man? We the people deserve answers, and the government should work for us—but it does not appear to do so. The polarization is as stark as possible: democrats think Fauci is science, republicans see Fauci as a great harm to science.*****Our sponsors:Xlear: Xylitol nasal spray that acts as prophylaxis against respiratory illnesses by reducing the stickiness of bacteria and viruses.

After reading two reviews of The Little House on the Prairie remake, both written by women and critical of the risks taken by Pa Ingalls, Heather wrote a Substack essay exploring risk, exploration and frontiers through the lens of the original Little House on the Prairie series. Published in the immediate aftermath of their son's motorcycle accident, the essay took on an even deeper resonance. During the stream, Bret and Heather reflect on the piece and the role that risk plays in a meaningful life."...this narrow minded loser rabbit mentality feels like what is rising in middle class, white bread, boring, and the safest American culture now. And even they, even the authors of these reviews, the people they're speaking to who are applauding them would do far better if they were not just ignored, but actually instructed in why their approach is wrong and itself is bad for all of us. And I say that as someone who is just, as a mother who has just confronted the possibility to the most horrifying thing that's possible, he's gonna be okay, but we weren't sure. And still, risk is important and necessary."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbM8z92gPi0

Dr. Heather Heying shares that the high-voltage lines going up near people’s homes could have the aesthetic and—more important—health costs mitigated if those lines were put underground, due to the potential to insulate the magnetic fields.Power companies refuse to bury the lines.Bret Weinstein warns, "They're gonna tell you that this is not a problem. They're gonna lead you to believe this is not a problem.But they're demonstrating, in refusing to mitigate all of the problems. The aesthetic problem is mitigated too.You're actually taking people's homes and degrading them with these giant, crackling tower structures.The point is, if these industries actually gave a shit about us, then the point is this would be the obviously right way to do this—and yes, it would be more expensive. But the point is, how would you know if they gave a shit about us? They would be willing to spend more to do this properly and not destroy the communities that—oh, by the way—they don't live in, right?They're doing this in your backyard. They're not doing it in their backyard."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V89zW9MV0HA

"If you look at the push towards tokenization of assets, towards central bank digital currencies—that is programmable money that can be turned off if you displease the powers that be. If you look at the creation of these massive data centers, is that really about citizen use of AI? Maybe some of it is, but is it really about creating a storehouse of information that will allow you to be controlled and locked down? That’s certainly the impression I have. We didn’t have a discussion about any of this. This is happening, and then we have to react to it because it’s all on a freight train headed down the line… and we’re always playing defense.

Bret Weinstein and Heathery Heying question whether Gen Z is really doing better than the generations before it (as some research and headlines proclaim).In Episode 333 of The Evolutionary Lens on DarkHorse (available wherever you subscribe to podcasts) Bret and Heather discuss Gen Z, but also cover how to avoid mosquitoes without DEET (coming from former field biologists), and how the co-founder of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger, has now been permanently blocked from the site....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBrLrf-1AaY

On this, our 333rd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss how to avoid mosquitoes without DEET, whether Gen Z is really doing better than the generations before it (as some research and headlines proclaim), and what the hell happened to Wikipedia. First: catnip is as effective as DEET in dissuading mosquitoes (but you might end up attracting cats). Next: New research suggests that GenZ is doing great, financially, but dig just a little, and find the research deeply flawed. Finally: Larry Sanger named and led Wikipedia in 2001, and he has now been permanently blocked from the site. It has become an ideological racket rather than an encyclopedia, but we need an encyclopedia. How do we get it back?*****Our sponsors:American Financing: NMLS #182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

"They could go naming people and, you know, malfeasance aplenty and they would mean nothing to us 250 years later. This means everything to us because it isn't mired in the particulars of even this instance of tyranny. It's made as an argument against when tyrants do this, you have the right to respond in this way. That's where it comes from. And they, of course, knew that their right to respond this way did not protect them from being killed by the crown for saying these things. They all understood that. It was very explicit. Franklin himself, I believe, said, 'we must hang together or surely we will all hang separately.' Right? They understood they were putting their lives on the line. But they also understood that they had the right to make that gamble and in some sense, the obligation to do it because the tyranny was intolerable."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAZRw7BcuCc

Dr. Bret Weinstein shares the important distinction between what it means to be a patriot versus a nationalist."Patriotism is a willingness to sacrifice on behalf of something.Nationalism is the desire to use a something, like a nation, to advance your agenda.So in other words, do you want to use your nation in order to accomplish something? Or are you willing to sacrifice for your nation because you think it's that important?They are not the same thing. They are almost the inverse.And I think they are very well captured in John F. Kennedy's quote:'Ask not what your country can do for you' — nationalism.'Ask what you can do for your country.'Your country is the lifeblood of your population. Your willingness to sacrifice to keep it going and to improve it is the fundamental thing.It's not like he was saying, give everything to your country and it's not required to give anything back. The point is it's already giving you so much back. Ask how you can advance IT."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCqjLgjLCNY

We are a big, brash, diverse, loud country that has certainly made lots of errors. But frankly, the enthusiasm that you see in the parts of the country where the World Cup is, is extraordinary.The fact is that, especially for Europeans—and the other Western countries—coming here and seeing the scale… the fact that the West, and the Mountain West, and the Midwest, which is not really the West at all, and the Northeast, and the South, and then Texas and Florida, which are places unto themselves—and that’s just the continental 48, and the Great Plains. It’s so diverse, not just geographically, but culturally and culinarily. It’s an incredible landmass with an incredible diversity of people.And yeah, have we had an arrogance that made “ugly Americans” a thing all over the world. Like, okay, here come the people who think that by just speaking English louder, anyone will be able to understand English. Yeah, that’s true about a lot of Americans.But it has been pleasurable to see the joy that people coming to the United States taken in what it is that we are.- Dr. Heather Heying, Episode 332 of The Evolutionary Lens, “The American Experiment at 250” on DarkHorse.Available wherever you subscribe to podcasts.
