In this 141st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about Portland, which has been our home town for four years. It is a city that we are now leaving. Portland has amazing nature, culture, food and people. But Portland is falling apart, despite a strong tax base, and amazing ingenuity in its people and businesses.Get a “Keep Portland WEIRD” shirt at our store: https://www.darkhorsestore.org/product-page/keep-portland-weird-western-educated-industrialized-rich-democraticOur book, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century, is available everywhere books are sold (https://www.amazon.com/Hunter-Gatherers-Guide-21st-Century-Challenges/dp/0593086880/), and signed copies are available here: https://darvillsbookstore.indielite.orgJoin us on our Patreons: https://www.patreon.com/heatherheying, https://www.patreon.com/bretweinsteinHeather’s newsletter, Natural Selections (subscribe to get free weekly essays in your inbox): https://naturalselections.substack.com*****Support the sponsors of the show:Seed: Start a new healthy habit today with Seed probiotics.
