In this 83rd 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 announce our forthcoming book, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century, and read an excerpt from the Introduction. The focus, in the book, and in the rest of the podcast, is on the hyper-novelty of the 21st century. We then discuss why perhaps we should be hopeful that SARS-CoV2 did leak from a lab. We show graphs of Covid cases and fatalities before and after Ivermectin was distributed in Mexico, India, Panama, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Why talk about how awesome Randomized Control Trials are, and why they do not constitute the only kind of evidence. Just ask Darwin (and other field biologists, like us). And finally: monkeying with the baseline, Covid edition. Our book, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century, is now available for pre-sale at amazon.
