Summary
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?

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast live stream number 148 is it? |
| 0:06.4 | 148. 148. I, it turns out I'm Dr. Brett Weinstein and this is Dr. Heather Heing and we are still functioning |
| 0:16.2 | with some temporary digs here. I do want to tell people. We are of course functioning with temporary |
| 0:23.8 | digs because we have moved and that means we gave up our studio in Portland. We are erecting a new studio |
| 0:32.2 | however having moved to an island compounds all of the labor shortage and supply chain issues that |
| 0:40.2 | exist on the mainland and so it is detaining us somewhat. Now here's the plan. I think you're really |
| 0:48.2 | going to dig it in the end. We are building the right studio. We are building it well with an eye |
| 0:53.6 | towards it looking good and eliminating as many technical hazards as can possibly be eliminated |
| 1:00.1 | but we know that finishing it as a way is off. So what we are going to do is we are going to construct |
| 1:05.0 | and we have already identified the location a permanent temporary home for that our course podcast. |
| 1:12.3 | Permanent temporary home. Permanent temporary home. Coming to you today from temporary temporary. |
| 1:16.2 | We are going hopefully by next week to permanent temporary which I don't think is the right |
| 1:19.6 | framing but okay and at some point within the next year we will be at permanent permanent. |
| 1:24.2 | Permanent temporary is a perfectly good framing in light of the standards of the moment. I think |
| 1:31.7 | it is very descriptive. Why would we sink to the standards of the moment? Because it's funny. I |
| 1:36.4 | don't know. People expect more from us. How about temporary permanent? That's better. That is better. |
| 1:42.9 | All right. Well, temporary permanent is. We are going to be doing that and hopefully I don't want |
| 1:49.8 | to promise anything because you never know what we will discover in the process of getting to our |
| 1:53.9 | temporary permanent digs but hopefully next week's broadcast will come from there. |
| 1:59.4 | No, I am curious and it's always it's often a mistake to say I'd like to know what people think |
| 2:05.2 | but I have seen in some comments that come out that people really like the homey or feel of this |
| 2:12.4 | and having the animals be able to be on camera and such and the dog snoring in the background |
