Summary
In this 210th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this episode, we discuss hypotheses about the border situation. Having just returned from Panama, Bret hypothesizes that there are two immigrations happening: the migration driven by the pursuit of greater economic opportunities in the United States, which includes people from all over the world, and a lot of families; and a second, cryptic migration which includes mostly people from China, of military age, heavily skewed towards men. He also reviews a hypothesis from some years back, about the effect of the one-child policy in China, taken in concert with the tendency to prefer boys. We then discuss neurogenesis in pregnant mice; and also the “diaper spa” being opened in New Hampshire, which is only possible because we have stopped allowing ourselves to critique anti-social and anti-societal tendencies.

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast, live stream number 210. I'm Dr. Brett Weinstein you are Dr Heather Hying and we are |
| 0:17.3 | here on Wednesday January 31th. Yep the very last day of January. Somehow we are rocketing through |
| 0:24.9 | 2024, a 12th over already. Amazing. In fact, a bit more than a 12th over if we're |
| 0:30.6 | being precise. No, actually with Leeped at, we're still more than a 12 over. |
| 0:35.0 | We're still more than a third of the way through the northern winter. |
| 0:41.0 | More than a third? Yes. Oh, more than a third? |
| 0:43.0 | Yes. |
| 0:44.0 | Oh, more than a third. |
| 0:45.0 | See, exactly. |
| 0:47.0 | More than a third, which is good. |
| 0:48.0 | It makes the chances of us surviving the northern winter that much better. |
| 0:52.0 | Yeah. Now, and it's always, it's an interesting time of year because, you know, the days are often getting colder, |
| 1:00.0 | but the day length is changing pretty rapidly at this point. |
| 1:05.0 | You know, I was at, it was at our local co-op yesterday just after five |
| 1:11.0 | and was commenting to the woman manning the cashier, the woman manning the cashier, |
| 1:16.7 | how light it was still outside, which is, you know, a month ago it was well dark by five so anyway it feels good it feels like things are looking up |
| 1:28.7 | relatively short time scale astronomically I can say less about how well things are looking up right here on the planet but that's what we're going to talk about today a little bit. |
| 1:37.8 | Yeah but the planet is a small piece of the big picture just keep that in mind. It's really not helpful. I think it's helpful. We are earth-based. We are earth-based. But |
| 1:45.9 | 2024 is going to be a wild ride. I think people just need to realize that that's just right here. |
| 1:51.4 | It doesn't matter. I think it does and my guess is there are seven or eight people |
| 1:57.6 | out there who agree with me and some of them might be Dark Horse viewers. So, So please join us on locals. We have had a |
