Summary

In this 191st 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 climate science, models, and assumptions. How do urban heat, and assumptions of low vs high solar variability, affect climate models? Should apparent consensus among climate scientists give one pause? Are non-scientist humans capable of thinking for themselves? We discuss the difference between the environment, and climate, and discuss Apple’s new video starring Mother Nature herself. Finally, we review the move, in Canadian school libraries, to get rid of books published before 2008. What could go wrong?

0:00.0	Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast live stream number one.
0:29.9	91. Indeed. I'm Dr. Brett Weinstein. You are Dr. Heather Hying. We're feeling pretty
0:35.5	prime today. I was gonna gloss over that question because I hadn't thought
0:40.8	carefully about it but at least not numbers. So yes. Indeed. Gloss. Gloss. Gloss of
0:48.2	aging bats. Whoa. As in the root meaning tongue. Gloss over it. Yeah. I'm not sure what
0:55.7	this has to do with gloss of aging bats but I'm thrilled that it does because
0:58.6	Gloss of aging bats are really spectacular creatures. These are nectarivorous bats.
1:03.7	You should be careful to pronounce that nectarivorous because if you say
1:07.6	nectivorous it means they eat nectis, which they do not. No. They be as famously
1:12.8	low in nutrients, nectis, and hard to digest. Hard to digest I think is the
1:16.9	primary issue. I would have had. I would have had. They're high in nutrients
1:19.8	especially if they haven't been washed in a while. Let's put it this way. Given the
1:22.3	strength to weight ratio of silk in high quality. High quality.
1:27.7	Well, sure. I mean, if you're gonna wear a necktie, you know, go bigger.
1:31.5	I'm talking about wearing and talking about eating. It's a fair point but none the
1:35.8	less. It seems to me there must be a higher abundance of cheap synthetic
1:39.4	nectis in the world than fancy silk nectis. I'm actually not sure that that's
1:43.9	true because it's the kind of thing that if you're gonna wear one you're gonna
1:47.5	wear one and if you're gonna wear a cheapo you're probably not gonna wear
1:50.6	anything unless you work in the mail room and it's a clip-on. But I don't know
1:54.1	how common clip-ons even are these days but the point is. I don't know. I'm way
1:57.6	out. You were talking like men's fashion and you you seem certain like I'm out. I
