Confirmation of Cool: The 262nd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

In this week’s episode, we discuss the Senate Confirmation Hearings of Bobby Kennedy Jr., in which the Democrats reveal a preference for anecdote over science, and work hard to maintain the status quo. As RFK seeks to Make America Healthy Again, he answers questions about infectious and chronic disease, SSRIs, Covid, farmers, autism, conspiracy theories, Medicaid and Medicare, and says with no equivocation: “I am not afraid of vested interests.” Also: Trump signs an Executive Order that will prevent the chemical and surgical mutilation of children; the new Press Secretary seems positively human; and the CIA admits the likelihood of a laboratory origin of Covid. Finally: check out Mike Nayna’s newest film, about Unity and Rescue the Republic.*****Our sponsors:Brain.fm: intense music that boosts productivity.
