In this 237th 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 week’s episode, we discuss the choice of Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, as VP for the Democrats. Is he correct that Democrats are the party of freedom, respecting one’s neighbors, and minding your own business? (No.) Also: Covid at the Olympics—they’re not done with us yet! Consider how nuts it is that we are still being told to “vaccinate” ourselves using mRNA products against Covid. And: How activists speak of assigning sex at birth when it’s an answer they don’t like, but identifying sex at birth when they do like the answer. In fact—sex is observed at birth, and sometimes the observation is wrong. We discuss lineage selection and the common ground between Irish Catholics and Protestants. And finally: Bobby Kennedy’s story of staging a bear x bicycle accident in Central Park, and Bret’s tale of the bear (seal) skeleton in his closet. ***** Our sponsors: Sundays: Dog food so tasty and healthy, even husbands swear by it.
