Summary

In this 75th 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.

0:00.0	Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse podcast. Things are there. They're moving a pace. I'm a little
0:12.8	behind the eight ball. I have just showered my hair is going to dry. There is no telling what is
0:17.3	about to happen hair wise at least. I think you just said what it's about to happen. It's about to
0:21.9	dry. Well, hopefully watching hair dry is less interesting watching paint dry. Oh, it's not a good,
0:27.2	it's not a good activity, but the thing is sometimes with me this hair it dries in a way that I have
0:32.8	to start over. I've got to go back to bed and get up shower again and get everything right.
0:38.5	I do feel like this is one of the ways in which we are gender role reversed. I feel like you think

0:51.6	that elicit comments from people. I think the comments from the people are the crazy things.
0:56.4	Okay. All right. Well, I'm going to go with that's what I think. I think they're jealous.

1:26.2	embark. So we're going today first before the announcements. We're going to talk a little bit
1:29.6	about privacy and game cameras. Ask if we should be allowing children to transition
1:35.9	medically and surgically a topic that we have returned to over and over again, but it is so
1:40.0	of the moment and so important in our estimation that we're going back there.
1:45.0	We're going to talk a little bit about the FDA approval of a new drug to treat ADHD,
1:48.6	a remarkable finding about how parent intervention affects children. You're going to talk a little
1:56.6	bit about a kerfuffle between Tanaeasy Cotes and Jordan Peterson and then we'll talk about sunlight.
