Bret Weinstein on Odysee

Bret Weinstein explains that "If what you do is deploy policy that at best is illogical and incompetent with respect to management. You will get decay.

The bridges don't fall down all at once. They take time, because they were built competently to begin with, but things degrade and you can only prop up the policies that do this so long."

Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying, native Angelenos, react to Spencer Pratt's run for LA Mayor on the most recent episode of The Evolutionary Lens, 327 "Spencer Pratt in the Era of Degenerate Intellectual Communism" https://youtube.com/live/WWnhO_hTQs8

Georgia Power's data center buildout is putting eminent domain back in the spotlight. Bret Weinstein breaks down what it means, and why Americans should be concerned.

"...unfortunately nobody is minding the store on our behalf. The power of government is terrifying. It has been captured by entities that we have no influence over." - Bret Weinstein

...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUnJtNrwxeY

On this, our 326th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss government and tyranny, environmental toxins and the media, eminent domain, and memories of childhood. Former Washington state governor Christine Gregoire says the state doesn’t have an income problem, it’s got a spending problem—and that unpredictability from legislators is making it impossible for the business community to plan. Stochasticity is impossible to adapt to—for humans, and for other species too. In the most expensive Congressional primary race in U.S. history, incumbent Thomas Massie lost in Kentucky; his opponent was substantively funded by AIPAC. Young people supported Massie; old people did not. The Department of Fish & Wildlife has declared the widely used herbicide atrazine no big deal—but it very much is, beginning with the well-established fact that it turns the frogs…not gay, but aggressive and dysfunctionally hermaphroditic. In Georgia, eminent domain is being invoked to “liberate” people from their houses. And we end with memories of idyllic childhoods in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

On this, our 325th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss Hanta virus and drought. First: what is the natural history of Hantavirus, do any Hantaviruses transmit directly from human to human, and what is going on with the M.V. Hondius, the cruise ship on which Hantavirus has made a stand? Given its mechanisms of action, Ivermectin is likely to treat Hantavirus (a negative sense single-stranded RNA virus), but the WHO dismisses the possibility. Moderna is working on a Hantavirus vaccine, even though the Number Needed to Treat is sky high. What is going on? Then: in Washington state, we’re experiencing a very wet drought. The Department of Ecology has declared a drought (again), and the snow pack is low, but all other indicators—from rivers to reservoirs to soil moisture—are excellent. Cliff Mass, atmospheric scientist, puts the evidence in one place and calls bull on the drought diagnosis.
