    Everyday Treason: The 336th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    On this, our 336th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the Covid Era in light of the Senate Hearing on the testimony of Anthony Fauci. First: excerpts from several Covid Era Stories, reminding us of the atrocities, tragedies, and ludicrosities (yes) of that time. Then: is Fauci’s refusal to answer any questions put to him by members of the committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs evidence that he is, in effect, a made man? We the people deserve answers, and the government should work for us—but it does not appear to do so. The polarization is as stark as possible: democrats think Fauci is science, republicans see Fauci as a great harm to science. ***** Our sponsors: Xlear: Xylitol nasal spray that acts as prophylaxis against respiratory illnesses by reducing the stickiness of bacteria and viruses.

    He’s the Front Runner! The 335th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    On this, our 335th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the time-traveling money printer in its newest instantiation: Trump’s monetization of Truth Social, wherein you pay to get a microsecond advantage in the market. Like so many before him, he’s becoming wealthy without generating wealth. But a president should be working to generate wealth for his country, and its citizens. Then: discussion of risk, exploration and frontiers in the context of Pa Ingalls and the Little House on the Prairie series, the fearful response to such things by many women, and the motorcycle accident that our son Toby was just in. (He will be okay.) ***** Our sponsors: Masa Chips: Delicious chips made with corn, salt, and beef tallow—nothing else—in loads of great flavors. Ready to give MASA a try?

    What the Flock? The 334th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    On this, our 334th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss data centers, surveillance cameras, and the Cartesian Crisis. Do Americans dislike data centers because they’re bad for us, or because foreign agents want us to dislike them? The NYT and Alethea say that foreign agents are creating content made to look home-grown that is not, but the support for the arguments is weak. Meanwhile, the high-voltage lines going up near people’s homes could have the aesthetic and—more important—health costs mitigated if those lines were put underground, due to the potential to insulate the magnetic fields. Also: Flock cameras are going up all over America. The stated goal is to track license plates, but our privacy and civil liberties are at stake. The Flock CEO compares those who are taking out Flock cameras to antifa, and Bret introduces a new idea: They Don’t Actually Give a Shit About Us. ***** Our sponsors: American Financing: NMLS #182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

    Gen Z Rising? The 333rd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    On this, our 333rd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss how to avoid mosquitoes without DEET, whether Gen Z is really doing better than the generations before it (as some research and headlines proclaim), and what the hell happened to Wikipedia. First: catnip is as effective as DEET in dissuading mosquitoes (but you might end up attracting cats). Next: New research suggests that GenZ is doing great, financially, but dig just a little, and find the research deeply flawed. Finally: Larry Sanger named and led Wikipedia in 2001, and he has now been permanently blocked from the site. It has become an ideological racket rather than an encyclopedia, but we need an encyclopedia. How do we get it back? ***** Our sponsors: American Financing: NMLS #182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

    The American Experiment at 250: The 332nd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    On this, our 332nd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss America’s 250th birthday. In 1776, both Common Sense and the Declaration of Independence provided self-evident truths that prompted the formation of a new nation. Built on optimism and an entrepreneurial spirit, the United States of America is fracturing along political lines, each side incapable of seeing the humanity of people who believe different things from themselves. In those 250 year old documents we see implicit recognition of trade-offs, game theory and emergence—all of which are just as fundamental now as they were then. As part of this discussion we cover patriotism, antifa, dual vs hierarchical loyalties, Trump, the World Cup, and taking advantage of breaks. ***** Our sponsors: Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 20% off your first order.

    Is it Sunset for Sunscreen? The 331st Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    On this, our 331st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss sunscreen and vegans. It’s Summer, and the sun is out! Should you slather yourself in sunscreen, stay indoors, or seek moderate exposure to the sun that grows in intensity that more your skin becomes acclimated to the season? The last, of course. Research has found that sunscreen use may be positively correlated with skin cancer, but a) “sunscreen” is not just one thing, and most but not all sunscreen is positively toxic, and b) all cause mortality is lower in people who get regular (non-sunscreened) sun exposure, so even if sunscreen does lower your risk of skin cancer—the sun is protecting your health in other ways. Also consider ditching the sunglasses, and donning a hat. Then: even the New York Times can’t figure out whose team they’re on, as a vegan in Portland tries to get Oregonians to outlaw hunting, fishing, animal research, conventional livestock production, and “lethal pest control.” ***** Our sponsors: Mud/WTR: Start your new morning ritual & get up to 43% off your @MUDWTR with code DarkHorse at http://mudwtr.com/DarkHorse #mudwtrpod Caraway: save up to $230 on the 12 piece cookware set vs buying the products individually; include minis duo & save up to $350.
