In this 47th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world though an evolutionary lens. Herein: an update on Unity2020; a discussion of the scientific method, and how one would figure out why things are going awry in a complex system; how siloed we are, and too often incapable of being generous with those whom we perceive to be on the “other side”; and how Judith Butler has made a mockery of modern society and language, while stating, without apparent irony, that “we live in anti-intellectual times.” TIMESTAMPS at bottom of video description.
