Summary

In this 183rd 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.

In this episode we discuss the predictable descent of the West into a tribal battle over resources, following from the corrupt rent-seeking elites’ destruction of the system of competence and merit which fueled the boom of the 20th century. More specifically, we discuss FreedomFest, libertarians and liberty, RFK Jr. and his free market solution to pollution; also: race, sex, genocide, and rape. And: a man cheats two ways to take home a medal in a race for disabled women. Finally: saber-toothed anchovies.

0:00.0	Hello. Hey, folks. Welcome to the Dark Horse podcast live stream. The 183rd, if I am not mistaken,
0:14.0	I'm Dr. Brett Weinstein. This is Dr. Heather Hying. It is July 19th, 2023. That's right.
0:22.9	I'm just making sure I'm, you know how if people have some sort of a trauma or some sort of an
0:29.2	organic dysfunction. The doctors asked them to provide certain information. I used to ask
0:35.4	who's president, for example. Now I'm not sure anyone knows, but once upon a time you could use
0:40.8	that to assess people. What was your trauma today that prompted you to go through a little
0:45.5	litany to demonstrate that you're actually of sound mind and body? Actually, it's interesting.
0:49.4	That trauma was I woke up and remembered it was 2023, which is frightening. So, you know, it was
0:55.2	that. And then, and then everything from there, everything from there. Yes. 183. That's 183.
1:03.1	Not prime. No. No. No. Heavens. No. Not that I could give you a single factor other than one
1:08.8	in 183, but it's definitely not prime. 61 and three. 61. Right. Nice. Yeah. All right. Well.
1:19.2	Okay. So, yeah, go live streaming right now from rumble if you're watching live. And if you want
1:27.1	to join the watch party, go over to our locals, which you can find if memory serves. If you're
1:32.5	watching on rumble, you can hit subscribe now, I think, which is what joined now. Thank you,
1:39.6	which gets you into locals. And that is where the chat will be from now on.
1:45.2	Presumably somewhere in the genome of slime molds, there is a join now button as well.
1:53.0	Can I just repeat that sentence back here? Presumably in the presumably somewhere in the
1:58.3	genome of slime molds, there is a button called join now. Yeah. Like that. Why? So, slime molds
2:07.6	forage as independent units and then under certain conditions, like if they run out of food and they
2:13.7	need to use the resources that they have accumulated in the foraging, they join together and fruit.
2:19.7	It's kind of cool. Yeah. So, join now. I think there's a, you know, there's bound to be a
2:25.6	methylation that's really a join now or something like that, join now button. Yeah. Yeah.
