Description: View on Odysee: https://odysee.com/EvoLens119:cfd6bcb4c935ec43547b282b60c78902c33073ae View on Spotify (With video): ***** In this 119th 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 science, sophistry, mis- dis- and mal- information, and making sure that people on the fringe remain there. We discuss corruption, and the lab leak hypothesis for the origin of SARS-CoV2. We briefly discuss Hunter Biden’s laptop, before talking about Lia Thomas, the trans swimmer who competes successfully as a woman, after having competed unsuccessfully as a man. We talk about last names, and naming conventions in culture. And we talk about inclusion. ***** Today’s show is sponsored by: Blinkist: Learn big ideas fast from best-selling non-fiction.
