1:41:19Now PlayingIn this 163rd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss individual vs. public health, and whether the failures of the last three years are due to an over-reliance on clinical reasoning. (Spoiler: they’re not.) Rather, the failures are due to a lack of evolutionary thinking, in combination with reductionism and a reliance on both metrics and credentials. Then: continuing last week’s discussion of how models are the product of science, how do we assess the claim that shedding caused a case of myocarditis? Finally: race relations are disintegrating in some circles, and that seems to be the obvious result of race-baiting by supposedly well-intentioned “liberals” wielding DEI initiatives. There is a widespread move to shame people for things that are immutable (e.g. race), celebrate bad things that are mutable (e.g. kinks), and pretend that immutable things can change (e.g. sex).
