A Coup Against Merit: The 236th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

In this 236th 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 attack on merit that is revealed in the Olympics Opening Ceremony. We discuss also attacks on Christianity, corporate ESG scores, the relationship of “queer culture” to gay culture, and the memory-holing of what democrats used to think about both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Also: what does it mean to be weird (or WEIRD)? Used to be that liberal cities like Portland and Austin were proud to be weird, but now true-blue democrats are being told that being different is unacceptable. This from the same people who are removing the word “mother” from legal documents, and holding segregated meetings for “white dudes” in support of their chosen candidate. Finally, Seymour Hersh reports that the 25th Amendment was invoked to get Biden to step down as nominee.*****Our sponsors:CBDistillery: Cannabinoid products that are safe, clean, and effective.
