Bret Weinstein on Odysee

Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying explore the pressures to prematurely close off possibilities by examining woke" as a social phenomenon where dissent is pressured and consensus is enforced.

"...There's banish, we're not gonna platform you because you've lost your mind and there's coercion. We're gonna get you back on board with the consensus. And those two things are basically a choice. Either you get back on board with the consensus or you're out."

"The nested sets nature of logic, which branching diagrams can reveal in a different way than if you just nested the sets within parentheses or something, can show you that it could be Tyler Robinson and still not have him be some lone gun nut, which is exactly what you have established here."

On this, our 318th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss how to understand our universe: through logic, intuition, and probability, through keeping track of what we believe, and being willing to change our minds. Avoiding certainty is difficult, but necessary. Using examples of who killed Charlie Kirk, and whether the venue where he was speaking suggests black magic, we discuss how to make sense of the world in a scientific way. Meanwhile in Washington: a $1 bill is booked into evidence.

Olympus Spa, a traditional Korean nude spa for women in the Seattle area, was told by the state of Washington, now upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that they must let men in, so long as those men think they’re women. Judge VanDyke’s dissent correctly summarizes the issue as one of “swinging dicks.”

Full Episode: https://youtube.com/live/ZoZIte3T0Ec

Heather Heying explains:

"These are such clowns. These judges are such clowns. And one of them’s a woman who apparently gives no fucks about the women and girls as young as 13, who might go to this amazing spa and be exposed to a very confused and mentally unstable man who’s got his balls and dick out.

More likely, frankly, most of us who once went to this amazing business are not going to go anymore. They’re going to have put out of business a Korean family who happened to be conservative Christians because of what? Because of confusion about basic biology and ideology that is driving the entire state mad.

Most all the West Coast, certainly the state of Washington.

It’s frankly unbelievable. And I just—I love their outrage that is directed at the one guy who stood up, was like, “You know what this is actually about? I’ll tell you what this is actually about, since we’re so busy having decorum that no one is talking about it. This is actually about the swinging dicks...”

NEW on DarkHorse - Look for Episode 317, "Is Cell Phone Radiation Good For You?" wherever you subscribe to podcasts.

"From your perspective, how good are your AirPods for you?

The answer is: that depends if you’re a mouse that was bred in one of these idiotic protocols.

If you are a mouse, where do you get AirPods? You probably want AirPods, maybe more than one set.

If you’re not a mouse, then this is an indicator that it’s actually dangerous.

The fact that the mice live longer is not good news.

It’s bad news because a toxin that you will not tolerate well will function like chemotherapy, or in this case like radiation therapy does on a cancer patient."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbnZJgcw7fg

On this, our 317th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss radiation and its impact on (rodent) health, and the 9th circuit’s decision to let men use women’s spas. First: research published in 2018 finds that low levels of non-ionizing radiation—like that emitted by cell phones and air pods—are actually associated with life extension in mice and rats. Don’t get too excited—these are the same rodents whose breeding protocols have broken them in some counter-intuitive ways, including that low doses of toxins or radiation can actually slow down the cancer that will otherwise kill them. Then: Olympus Spa, a traditional Korean nude spa for women in the Seattle area, was told by the state of Washington, now upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that they must let men in, so long as those men think they’re women. Judge VanDyke’s dissent correctly summarizes the issue as one of “swinging dicks.”

A new paper finds that infection tends to lead to greater frailty in older people. This reverses the causality of Terrain Theory of Disease (frailty of the body leads to greater susceptibility of infection), and also provides support for a prediction made by Bret and his co-author Debbie Ciszek in the unpublished, longer version of their reserve capacity paper from 2002.

Cleaning “spas,” massive brains, and mirror experiments.

"Do these truths about manta rays make them less beautiful to you? Have I stolen wonder from you by telling you some of what we know? Or rather, have I provided you even more basis on which to find more wonder, seek more beauty in the world? I hope that the latter is true."

- Dr. Heather Heying reading the beginning of the chapter on beauty from her upcoming book
