Summary

In this 173rd 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.

First up this week, we discuss SARS-CoV2—again!—in light of new research that finds no evidence for a zoonotic origin at the Huanan Seafood Market. Science is not faring well these days. We also discuss AI “doomers,” and why that’s a misleading epithet. A new product that’ll keep your produce fresh with absolutely no downsides is now on fruit near you! And a hummingbird makes an error.

0:00.0	Hey folks, I'm Dr. Brett Weinstein. This is the 173rd Dark Horse Podcast live stream. I am sitting next to Dr. Heather
0:15.2	Hying and I have successfully mixed up the order of the intro without anybody noticing.
0:20.4	I would notice nobody from the dog who was sleeping behind us. Unperturbed.
0:24.3	She has our back. She's. Yes. She does. 173. We are informed by the universe and by our friend.
0:32.1	It's not just prime. Not only is it prime, but feels prime. It's a sexy prime.
0:37.9	And not only is it a sexy prime, it's part of a sexy prime triplet. What does that mean?
0:43.3	I don't know. Well, sexy is a play on the Latin word for six. So it just means that it is part of a prime.
0:50.7	If it was just a sexy prime, part of a prime doublet that are six apart.
0:55.9	In this case, it's part of a triplet. It's the middle prime in three primes each of which are six apart.
1:01.2	So that's we are at 173. So it's going to be 167 and 179. 179.
1:07.8	Do you remember the 171st episode where I suggested that 171 felt prime?
1:13.7	I wouldn't have been able to tell you which episode it was, but sure.
1:17.3	I believe it was the 171st. And you'd be surprised how many people took me to task on that.
1:23.0	I'm sure. You know, you know, knowable information at this point.
1:25.9	Yeah, easily knowable. I mean, I wasn't pretending to know the answer.
1:29.1	I was just saying it felt prime, which it still does. But their point was that there was a simple method for knowing
1:34.9	which is something like if you're a Pisces and the numbers add to nine, then it's divisible by nine or something like that.
1:42.1	Amazing. Also, I think if you're not a Pisces or don't know or give a rats ass what astrological sign you are, this also works.
1:50.0	Here's the thing. I am a Pisces and I don't give a rats ass what astrological sign I might be.
1:55.9	But nonetheless, I got it wrong and our audience successfully educated and traumatized me over my error.
2:04.5	No, it'll be all right. I'm nearly over it.
2:07.5	Yeah, that was eight episodes now. Where are we at? Where in 173?
