YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this 240th 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 joy and the Democratic Party. Who is sending all the texts asking for money to support the democrats, and what are they actually trying to accomplish? Discussion of push polls and push texts, bread and circuses, ponies and balloons. Also: the party of science doesn’t understand science. And: why did RFK Jr. talk to the Harris campaign? Finally: actual joy, mixed with sadness, as our children leave home. Why parenting is the most amazing job you can have, and how any population that forgets that is at risk of losing the plot, if it hasn’t already.
