Can the West Be Saved? The 238th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
In this 238th 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 why there is a regressive backlash against women, and how to Rescue the Republic, and Join the Resistance. On the former topic, we talk about #MeToo, Olympic athletes that aren’t what they seem, and candidates for high office who are useful only for their immutable characteristics. On the latter, we discuss what the West is, why it needs to be saved, the hedonic treadmill, the Five Eyes Alliance, and whistle-blowers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Also: the New York Times proves that, even when the stakes are low, it butchers and misunderstands science and logic.
