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.

0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast live stream number one thirty something four one thirty four. It's one thirty four. Well, all right. That's cool. Not a not a tough check for primeness. This is Brett Weinstein. Yes. I am Dr. Brett Weinstein and you are Dr. Heather Hying and this is the dark horse podcast as I mentioned earlier and we. |
0:28.0 | Got some some things on the agenda. Yeah, we're going to talk about accident injury and we're going to talk about isopropyl alcohol. |
0:38.0 | Yep. I want to talk about the moon. The moon and I should tell you that I promised to reveal I have it's not an absolute proof but I have a strong indication that there is a God and that he is fond of me. |
0:50.0 | So I'm going to be revealing that here on the where did you promise that on Twitter? I see on Twitter. Yeah, sorry. I'm keeping this one mostly outside of the scope of that sort of thing. So okay. So there is there is that and I also promise to deliver a |
1:09.0 | a decisive blow to our most dedicated and I think obsessed tricks. Okay. All right. Okay. I don't know anything about that either. No, you don't. So you'll have to remember to put it in here somewhere. Yes. |
1:23.0 | Let's do our logistics first though. Good. Shall we? |
1:26.0 | After we'll be doing a Q&A after this episode, you can go to darkhorsesmissions.com to ask questions. We always encourage you to look up our book, which is a lot different from the totally consistent with dark horse podcast. |
1:44.0 | We'll talk together as guide to the 21st century, available now in those Spanish and French and soon to be out in Korean and Russian and Lithuanian and Polish and lots of other languages as well. There is still time to learn those languages if you prefer to read it in one of them with the exception of Spanish and French. I believe those. It's already out. Yeah. It's true. I mean, I feel like there's time to learn this language as no matter what. |
2:08.0 | It's never too late to learn those languages, but if you want to have them on the ready, so when it is released, still hot off the press, you are able to read it and live the waning and now would be the time to get on that. Yeah. That would be the time. |
2:19.0 | We are streaming on both YouTube and Odyssey and the chat is live on Odyssey and of course, after after we are done, it will be uploaded to Spotify as well and available all of the places that you may listen to podcasts. |
2:33.0 | We have a new store which we announced in our last live stream 10 days ago. I have Zach if you can show that. We are very, very excited to be working with some with SquidPrint, who has produced the store. I'm not seeing it yet. |
2:48.0 | Okay. We have on there the stuff that we have had on the previous store and I can't see it yet. So I'm not remembering what any of it is. |
2:58.0 | I never know you were stalling. Toward a France. Yeah, that's so small. That's just darkwashed stuff. So you want to talk about some of the products we have? |
3:07.0 | Yeah, we have Toward a France. It's like by tracing on steroids. We've got Pfizer. The breakthroughs never stop. |
3:17.0 | We have a pun entirely intentional. Settire and therefore protected speech. Yeah, similarly YouTube. YouTube community guidelines because you can't handle the truth. |
3:29.0 | And we've got things that aren't quite so politically dangerous like an epic tabby. Some complex systems. We got to settle up the dire wolves we ride tonight. So all sorts of good stuff here, including some backpacks and bags and such which were not available in our previous store. So do go there. It's at darkwashedore.org to find some of that. |
3:51.0 | So let me get really excited about it. You can visit my natural selections, a sub stack where this week I posted something that I found that I've written over 10 years ago on the the trivialization of our lives in an era in which we are told that we have all of these labor saving devices which is supposed to free us. |
4:10.0 | But in fact, what they do is draws in and grab our attention and don't let go. So we have actually in many ways less, less time to spend thinking deeply on things in the era when we have more devices which are supposed to be freeing us in order to attend to the deeper things. |
4:28.0 | And we are supported by our audience. We appreciate you subscribing and liking and sharing both our full episodes on Odyssey or YouTube or Spotify or clips on both YouTube and Odyssey. |
4:42.0 | And just a reminder that last summer about a year ago now YouTube demonetized us for taking the crazy position that as scientists and really it shouldn't even matter that we're scientists, but that we were interested in talking about the evidence for the claims being made by public health officials around all things COVID. |
5:01.0 | And that was deemed untenable by YouTube. |
5:05.0 | It was deemed misinformative and though we have been born out many many times they have never re-investigated this or explained why we are still demonetized. But in any case, we are grateful to our sponsors. Before we get to them, I do want to say a new episode of Dark Horse. |
