Summary

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.

The prior world that followed as COVID was descending and then it quickly became ascendant.

0:54.1

And although many in the world would seem to think that it's disappeared now, but it

seems rather ascendant in terms of its the market's made.

1:02.6

What we say?

1:03.6

Ascendant, but never once, resplendent.

1:05.8

Right.

1:06.8

1:13.8

enough to go around mucking about with the ancestors of such a thing to see if they couldn't

make it infectious enough so that they could learn how to fight an infection with a virus

like this.

Indeed.
