Common Sense, Inverted: The 232nd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2024
- In this 232nd 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 the 248th anniversary of the founding of the United States, with readings from Common Sense and the Declaration of Independence. Then: deep state vs. shallow state, and how it came to be that news = New York Times ^-1, and health = CDC^-1. Discussing the biggest story of 2020-the corruption and affiliations of what would become the first family of the U.S.-was considered a moral failure at the time. Finally: feminism fails in a spectacular show of rugby and lingerie (as Meghan Murphy said: “Modern feminism wants women either in burkas or p*rn gear”), and we discuss why WNBA star Caitlyn Clark is being competed with in the way that she is.

Taking this opportunity to thank you for not being indifferent. My children and I are spike protein free because of you. We might owe you our lives.
Yeah same for me. I listened to BW & HH and others when the vaccine insanity began and managed to avoid it entirely. Only ever did one PCR BS test to get on a flight to leave the South East asian country I was in. That said I still got long covid / complications from contact with vaxxed peeps.
You will still get spike protein every time you're exposed to Covid. Don't be too self-righteous😉
@@mwilliamson4198same but thanking the Lord that it was far less and symptoms gone 🙏
Unless u got COVID at some pt. Ppl are so focused on the jabs spike, they forget the lab v also has the spike.
@@candyland8903 Exactly
I've been a nurse for over 30 years. Biden's debate performance was exactly as I imagined it would be.
I was homeless, and Biden's performance was no surprise to me either
Biden's performance was better than I expected.
To the extent that he even turned up for it.
He's no quitter!
@@BboyKenyperhaps it’s Jill and Hunter who are the hangers-on! Jill is poster girl for the military joke of the wife wearing the rank and Hunter still has legal vulnerabilities for Daddy remove.
I seem to recall the media freaking out when Donald Trump was carefully walking on slippery stairs in his dress shoes, they were claiming he was suffering from some cognitive decline, also that time he used two hands to drink from a water bottle it was like big news. That was just a few years ago!
Not just stairs... a slippery ramp
I'm Australian and I remember that. Even people of the centre left like him here.
As an adult it is still optional to have taken the vaccine
it isnt that sam listened to the wrong people. it is that his identity rests on the belief in those institutions. he has made the mistake of identifying with fixed entities vs identifying with the process of discerning the truth. the moral of the story: be very careful where you place your identity.
yeah well said. If you go back to one of his earliest videos online - a TED talk about Science and Religion, to me it's obvious that he had a major blind spot / deep shadow around "religion" and what could well be a deep sense of betrayal/mistrust, which then turned into a blind faith in institutions
@@mwilliamson4198 yes, sounds right to me. i guess my point about identity is that i think he is an identity-driven person. i think this might be hard for heather and bret to fully understand, because they just aren't wired that way. but he clearly is driven by personal identity and highly identified with these institutions. i think his absolutely intractable denial may come from needing to defend against the annihilation of his foundational sense of self, since it appears to be tied to these institutions. this is very common for people who are identity-driven. If / when they lose their faith in a religion that previously housed their identity, they then find safety in politics and institutions as a replacement. i think this may explain a lot of the batshit hysteria when it comes to willful blindness of political and institutional corruption, esp for those on the left who no longer have faith, family, patriotism, etc. as safe havens for their sense of identity.

The blind spot/shadow regarding religion is a good point. I'm not super religious despite growing up in the deep South amongst very religious people including family members that I love very much...I've the seen the worst in religious institutions and people but have had the privilege of seeing the best in them too. It helped me navigate the world for 39 years and not fall into the religion of "the science". Follow the science has the exact same ring of follow the religious leaders because they are the only ones with the answers.
This will be one of my favorite DarkHorse podcast. The discussion concerning our inability to feel for all the suffering on earth spoke to my heart. I will continue to evaluate and re evaluate my daily life knowing I can only do so much.
There are many things one can do independently of society or government, to improve your own state of being. Not selfishness, but self-discovery through benevolent action.
@@carefulcarpenter Yes, starting with not focusing on oneself....
@@Jannette-mw7fg ☺ The victim mindset is ALL ABOUT ONESELF, and the wrong done to ME, ME, ME.
Grateful i stayed with them until 1hr 25min in when Brett makes the most profound observation ever!
I also appreciated the highlight of 'Common Sense'. Ancient wisdom is not obsolete its timeless.
Feminism in America is about silence on all relevant issues except pro abortion mania.
As an Australian I find it discusting. In my state, for example, abortion is perfectly legal. But no doctor is immoral enough to perform one. And that sums up many peoples opinion. Unmarried mothers are not shamed, unless they are bad mothers. Having an abortion for any but a couple of reasons is. Feminists insist on subsidised child care, for women on low incomes. And five months paid maternity leave, for all. There is no reason an unplanned pregnancy prevents you from finishing university or continuing a career.
There are definitely other areas of interest that "feminism" targets...
Janice Fiamengo is a name that everybody should know... check out her Feminism review/critique videos.
@@roscodogg Yes it's interesting to learn how far back these ideas go.
What a beautiful discussion about suffering and the indifference towards it! Thank you so much for that!
"I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity...."
"Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness "
Both quotes from Dostoevsky, who had more inside in humanity than all of us together...
When describing the traits of Caitlin Clark, Bret was remiss, he forgetting to mention she is also cisgender, a huge problem in the WNBA, a league heavily populated with lesbians and at least one transgender woman--according to the Russians.
Not a cisgender, she's a woman.
Remember... lesbians are "cisgender" also (if we must use the language of a barbarian)😂 as it doesn't refer to sexual preferences.
You guys.. dream team! Thanks for existing! Giving a shit can be daunting.. your leadership(s) is greatly appreciated
Heather should do a scarf give away right after the ads. One lucky member per episode gets their name mentioned. How many does she own, at least as many as the number of evolutionary lens podcasts. 232
You just want a free scarf, don’t you?
@@polysaturated Well that is not exactly what meant. Her look is iconic while she marshalls the platform darkhorse. My original thoughts on the subject ran to a scarf designer supplying her with new designs to wear every episode.
“No man, proclaimed Donne, is an Island, and he was wrong. If we were not islands, we would be lost, drowned in each other's tragedies. We are insulated (a word that means, literally, remember, made into an island) from the tragedy of others, by our island nature, and by the repetitive shape and form of the stories. The shape does not change: there was a human being who was born, lived, and then, by some means or another, died. There. You may fill in the details from your own experience. As unoriginal as any other tale, as unique as any other life. Lives are snowflakes-forming patterns we have seen before, as like one another as peas in a pod (and have you ever looked at peas in a pod? I mean, really looked at them? There's not a chance you'd mistake one for another, after a minute's close inspection), but still unique.” - Neil Gaiman, American Gods
One thing about our early history - most of the people who came here did so against their will. The Mayflower sat in a Dutch harbor for weeks, with the passengers begging for and being denied entry. They came to America because the alternative was starving to death in sight of land or drowning in an attempt to reach it. Most landowners in America were given land here as an incentive to come, and they did because it bought them favor with the monarch and land was wealth - even if it was on the wrong side of an ocean. Most of the workers were sentenced to transportation, convicted of crimes they may or may not have committed, auctioned off in Charleston or Norfolk or New York or Boston to pay for their passage, and then forced to work until that debt was repaid. Australians are proud of their history as a prison colony, but we've spent a couple of hundred years denying ours.
Their descendants now enjoy a degree of freedom and prosperity unimaginable at the time.
You have described that wonderfully. If you read Daniel Defoe, 1600s, many of his female characters, pleaded the belly, which as killing an innocent baby, was rightly seen as immoral, had there sentence to hang, remitted to transportation to what is now the US.
I'm Australian and our histories are linked. After the American revolution Britain's convicts were pilling up and becoming a bit of a problem. Then the botanist who had accompanied Captain Cook's mapping expedition in 1770, suggested settling Australia.
In Britain slavery was already on the nose. It was banned in Australia in 1786, two years before we were settled. We never had to fight the British. When states wanted independence from Britain, they wrote a letter to Queen Victoria and she wished us well.
In 1901, we federated. In the decade prior our founding fathers wrote. They accurately predicted the race related problems of both South Africa and the US and advocated the white Australia immigration policy. However this was abandoned in 1973. And now we have the very same problems.
1:00:42 man, you guys called it out reading our Declaration, recognizing that the Republic is in peril. If you reverse engineer what you read, knowing we have a constitution with a bill of rights to follow that document, you come to the fact that our government is in clear violation and disobedience to its constitutional restraint. If you knew just a little bit more, you’d realize they can get away with doing this because they’ve created a second jurisdiction one that since they created it, they control it, with statutes and codes and inferior courts that administer these rules and regulations, rather than adjudicate, right and wrong. The latter is the protective work we do in the Republic to keep society together. The former is the “wicked”, and its control and administration of an essentially hidden jurisdiction that we all call out by name not recognizing what it is. It’s called “US citizen“. That title naturalizes you into a jurisdiction that guarantees you’ll suffer under the rule of man-made commercial law.…
Heather, you once noticed couple of years ago that in the constitution and the preamble they seem to capitalize some words and you didn’t quite understand that. I draw your eye to how they spell these united States of America. It’s straight up proper with the word united as an adjective and “States of America” is the proper noun getting a capitalization just like if I spell your first name. Nowhere in anything was there ever a US citizen it was only ever Citizens of the States of union. We have never been simply the United States. We have always been the united States of America. The subtle changes all mattered, as those two things are not the same. Washington DC, and its commercial interest seek to end the Republic once and for all. Because it’s the Republic that is protected by the Bill of Rights, and the rest… I hope you guys look into this more. If you do, you’ll find 10 million of us American Citizens of the several States and growing, that have removed our US citizen label, and adopted the correct one as a Citizen of of a States. The state department upgraded the name to make it seem unpopular and for the past 30 or 40 years we’ve been called “US National”…
The condensed messages is, that has more people do the same, the Republic revives, and comes back alive. It’s the antidote to the tyranny, and that’s why it is so deeply hidden, but it’s likely you have no idea what I’m talking about yet…
Interesting comment mate! I am from Australia and am watching closely this madness unravel in the states. The sense that politicians are all captured and corrupt is felt here as well.
@@aaroncruisyazz8181
Kiddo...you went into one of the most Tyramnical, Dystopian, Anti-Human covid restrictions...
You, like a sheep to slaughter, forgot like a gold fish yesterday...you sweet, summer, child...
@@aaroncruisyazz8181 Today, the whole world is upside down. Not just Australia ! 🐿
They don’t read the comments
Its hard to speak truth and get fired, not get another job, get thrown out of the previously close loving liberal family. My body my choice! Not. Thank you for this platform and thoughtful discussion.
Well, considering that “my body my choice” in the abortion debate actually means “only the popular and the convenient people get to live”, once you become unpopular or inconvenient, you have no rights anymore
I'm Australian and whilst abortion is legal in my state there are zero doctors willing to perform one. I'm happy about that. What if instead feminists argued for what we have. Five months paid maternity leave. Subsidised and even free child care for women on low incomes. There is absolutely no barriers to pregnant or nursing mothers completing university or having a career. Nobody looks down on single mothers here, unless they are bad mothers, there but by the grace of God go I. And men feel the same way. Hopefully some of these points will help you at family dinners.
@@grannyannie2948 m American and I can totally get on board with those ideas. I have a question, thought, who is paying the maternity leave, the government or the boss?
@@daisyviluck7932 I think it's paid by the government but I would have to check with my daughters. When I was a young wife and mother the government paid us to stay home and raise our own children instead of maternity leave and child care. But nowadays they say mothers prefer to go back to work.
@@daisyviluck7932 Maternity leave is paid for by the tax payers or consumers through increased prices, to pay for said maternity leave. Please reconsider forcing your neighbors to pay for a woman's choice to bare children. The individual woman must accept responsibility , make sacrifices. That's all we ask. Grow a personal network for support. Don't steel other peoples labor. It's just wrong. 🐿
Another fantastic episode.
Thomas Paine was not messing around. "The heart of a coward or the spirit of a sycophant" is such a great line when he was referring to those in favor of reconciliation with England.
Y'all got me feeling patriotic AF today. Thank you!
A Commander in Chief who can’t command his way off the stage ….enough said.
I agree with you guys!
Ideology means nothing and we need to unite and support and help each other.
Willful help is liberty. Forced help is tyranny. 🐿
Thank you both.
Bret, I'd love to see you sit down for a conversation with Dave Smith. It would be so interesting to hear his radical libertarian perspective versus your minimalist but still governmentalist one. I find the both of you incredibly compelling.
Ignorant reporters and vets thought Caitlin Clark didn't deserve the attention she got from fans. On the contrary, CC built her fanbase from HS, AAU, FIBA, and college competitions with her performance and attitude, it is the vets who didn't earn the attention of fans who followed her to the WNBA. They should receive this gift from this rookie class to showcase their skills, not their negativity.
Dang, I thought Bret may have discussed Terence and Eric on JRE.🎉
Discuss the discussion? What
@@jaysphilosophy1951I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but apparently it's a doozy.
Not a chance that was gonna happen
No need to. Every other human on earth is opining about it. 😅
@@nicoledickens2366 It's a doozy. We need another 4 hour podcast to explain it to actual "laymen." I've heard EW talk about the Hopf Fibration and Dirac equations and I'm non the wiser about any of it. But I love hearing his meta-paradigmatic view of the world.
Don’t blame me, I was always conservative
I'm far right, but not in your country. And I'm particularly socially conservative

Not according to Kamala. Apparently, the possibility of "what can be, unburdened by what has been" exists.
@@teribreazeale930 "when we think about the future, we must remember that it is what will be, and the past is what has been, and when we look to the future, we think of what will happen. And the past is not there, because the past is what already happened. And we are looking to the future, which is what will happen." - Kamala probably
@@TheAmbientMage that sounds about right 😂
The best episode thus far! Been listening since E1. Well done, keep the sanity and science so we can all be enthused about Life.
Isn't it fun analyzing (taking serious) the randomness and absurdities of human activities ?
It is frustrating hearing Heather complain that Bret "hasn't yet explained his point" when she's the one interrupting and pettifogging and filibustering every third word of the in-progress explanation.
it's their schickt...
As a wife I understand LoL.
Every podcast I love you guys more!!! Thank you for your work!!!
Generally, it's pragmatic to embrace stoic indifference regarding the genus or group in an ethical sense, however, on a case-by-case individual or particular interaction the moral calculus changes. The general and particular- 2 modes of conceptualization involve different responses. Thanks for the fascinating discussion
38:25 Mind the timescale here. Some of the worst abuses like the Trail of Tears was nearly 100 years removed from the Founding, and as we've seen in the present day, relations between countries can change in a matter of years. Saying USA had an original sin of slavery - when all of the world at the time kept slaves - as well as poor relations with the natives - when the opposite was sometimes true depending on the location and time (some of the Founders' love of democracy was based on what they saw in the Lakota tribes for instance) - is muddying the waters, judging the colonists for things they *may not have even done yet*.
Us: Your industry has been hijacked.
Public Health: Nah. Don’t you think I’d know if it had been hijacked?
Us: Yes I’d think you would, which is a nice segue into problem #2…
Happy Independence Day! Thank you for all of the ways you continue to communicate meaningful insights and wisdom.
There is a concept called, “becoming comfortable being uncomfortable.” What’s happening here is that they are pushing the goalposts slowly, but surely to the edge of disaster, and everyone is slowly but surely becoming comfortable with this new level of dysfunction, and like the frog in the boiling water, one day our country will die if we don’t stop, being comfortable with the horrible uncomfortable conditions that our society has fallen into. Learning to become comfortable, being uncomfortable is usually a tremendous trait that enables someone to persevere through hardship, but in this particular case, it is a horrible trait that is causing people to allow the systematic destruction of our nation.
These podcasts are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
Exactly Heather, Bret is giving the Colonists a bad rap... Given all the years he's spent in Academia it is probably not surprising...
48:10 This reminds me of when I was in a non-first-world country recently. A little girl appeared from seemingly nowhere to sell me a bunch of dead flowers, which I purchased from her. Then, not surprisingly, having witnessed the successful transaction, many children appeared, asking me to buy little items like shells and such like. 💕
Neither competition nor cooperation can exist without the other. It's about compassionate coexistance for the sake of humanity.
"They born with a wrong underwear" that is the funniest thing i have heared for a week. 😂😂
Overwhelming lack of interest in evidence paradoxically is evidence of interest.
Well said

You mean the paper defending the Soviet Union? Say it ain’t so!
Good Mr. Weinstein didn’t counter by saying, that the women look both strong and beautiful. So smart.
Thank you again ❤
Being honest about how we got here including how the Native tribes sold out each other and their own tribes more than any blatant murder/theft by the “colonization”
Cave Wall...lol!!! Again, lol!!
Love it!!
Is Heather hinting that she was at the Medical Medium book signing? I was there but only for 30 min and regret I didn't stay at least 2 hrs for his light blast
I can't help but wonder if Heather would have the same sentiments about the people who are now coming to European countries and not respecting their culture and treating native Europeans as subhuman?
32:00 The entropy of our institutions is spreading like the rust of our country's infrastructure.
Inverse institutions. Government entities end up doing the opposite of their charter and mandates for many reasons. Foremost is the fact they are terrible at what they do, again for many reasons. When you don’t have enough, money, staff, intestinal fortitude or integrity to do the job correctly, you spend all of your time covering up and minimizing your weakness, ineffectiveness and especially culpability and liability. Once you see it, you can never unsee it. Anybody that has worked in public health that isn’t a communist ( a very small minority) can describe the myriad of ways this occurs. There’s a big reason “public health” is now going after guns. But you’ll never hear the word democide uttered from their little lips.
The Blame Game points out the spiritual development, or lack of, in an individual unable to think outside of rationalism.
I know this seems to contradict critical-thinking; but spiritual growth is ultimately cognitive growth. Education restrains the mind to conventional-thinking. There is much more potential for spiritual growth when one can grasp a greater, and true reality. We are often trapped by our indoctrination.
For that some should rule and others be ruled is a thing not only necessary, but expedient; from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule. Aristotle.
11:06 for my fellow impatient friends. 😊
Doing gods work 👏
In all fairness, I do listen to the ads for them, but still timestamp the start.😂@@albinothug
impatient but also I can't buy any of the products they promote because of my location
I think the timestamp might have moved, I’m at 22:17 where we’re already deep into Thomas Paine. They often cut out the countdown at the beginning after the life show aired I guess?
Thank you. Time has been updated. 😊@@polysaturated
I got my Electrical Engineering degree, promised a job, 65,000 in debt, no job, I make 18 an hour under the table.....Thank god for institutions.....
Sorry, crooked colleges oversold, even STEM.
I attended a major university for an education. I was there for a total of 6 years--- no degree, I did receive a fabulous education, though.
After...... I became self-employed. Many of my engineer customers told me I was smarter than most. I was in engineering for 3.5 years before my brain was capable of putting 1 and 1 together.
1 x 1 is an aid in thinking outside of the box.
In 2004 I myself, was posting "1 + 1 = 1".
No onecwas interested in understanding what I was trying to say, symbolically.
In Australia you could make $120,000 in a mine with no skills, no degree. The working class make more money here than the educated class.

"Inverse institutions" -- superb point
the add campaign for womans sports section went way off from what I expected, I assumed it was a campaign to normalize bug muscular bodies to grow trans acceptance so people complain less about men in woman's sports.
Heather, never having heard of Caitlin Clark, needs to get out more.
me too I guess... no idea.
I have a copy of Common Sense and a leather bound book of all of Washingtons writings... writing was truly and art form back then... just read the letters from soldiers to their loved ones during the revolutionary and civil wars... absolutely mind-altering perspective. You can see why 'they' want us to forget who we are, where we came from... how much bravery - it is sadly unfathomable. I pray we find this courage and the love affair with honoring intellect and our Creator again.
“He has a real gift for oratory? I like him on paper?” Lol yes the devil is a very good speaker! 😂😂
Makes sense now…Public Health = (CDC)-1.
In my genealogy report I documented 23 Founding Fathers. That does not make me any more special than any other American. We came for the benies of Liberty and Self-discovery. ☺
What cost---- independent-thinking?
Sure, England produced George III but also Thomas Paine.

P.S. The lad wasn’t exactly “normal for Norfolk”. 😁
248 years. Anyone else getting feeling we won't make 250? Don't want to be negative but can't shake feeling we probably only have a few good months left in US.
Government isn't a necessary evil! It's a vice. It's there to make weaklings feel safe.
Bret has it completely backwards. Thomas Pane is saying exactly what he means. "Government is produced by wickedness." He is not saying "we need government to respond to wickedness" or anything of the sort.
I feel like Heather got a little jealous with Bret’s praise of the female basketball player, judging by her getting wrapped around the axel about the subject and taking it down a whole distracted path of female aggression. Hmmm.
Bret and Heather it would be good to start a discussion with a few quotes from Alexis de Tocqueville.
Deep and wide,
Deep and wide,
There's a state all around us,
Deep and wide.
Deep and wide,
Deep and wide,
Continuously interfering with our lives!
Mountains will definitely be flowing mmmmm and mmmmm
Those women are getting a payday. The Olympics is only about paydays. What ever the Greeks had in mind, this isn’t it.
This discussion about how to be sympathetic to every single person on earth comes to no acceptable conclusions. We can only be good people and affect our family and small community. Americans are basically and historically some of the most generous people when it comes to donating help and funds to help people all over the world. We needn’t feel like bad people because we cannot fix the world.
Excellent podcast
A happy Independence Day to everyone in the colonies from me here in Europe. Congratulations on defeating the aliens.
Thank you. We hope you defeat your aliens too.
In the end, it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Has Bret convinced everyone to be indifferent to humanity.
Democracy dies in darkness, but we digress!!
I agree with you Heather.
1:53:09 this is what my husband does to me all the time, "let me reinterpret what you're saying so that it doesn't sound bat shit crazy". I am the Bret, he is the Heather. I learn so much from your relationship...

Good luck to any imperfect people working a/o contributing in our government: They're damned if they do their job, they're damned if they don't do their job. Even if they do a job that the judgemental criticizers cannot do themselves.
Their also paid and keep their jobs either way... I don't get damned if I don't do my job, I get fired ...
@@michaelroberts7770That's true. I was getting at how, even if someone is doing their job (to their best abilities) and someone else doesn't like or understand the results, or understand their constraints a/o trade-offs, the criticizer will claim that they're not doing their job.

Well I tried to get in contact with you guys but it seems impossible.
56:14 Spiritual Intelligence teaches:
1. An Individual should perform acts of service to others, without any attachments to outcome.
2. It's not my duty to uplift another... "Raise Yourself by Yourself" Bhagavad Gita
Brett used something from the Bible! Proverbs 27:17, which says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”.
Interesting conversation about the presidents and their seemings. I tend to want the president who will cause/permit the least harm, second to that being someone who seems like they can navigate a sea of game theory. I wouldn't want to have a drink with any of them, but I initially found Obama to be charming and eventually got sick of him being a condescending git.
Trump surprised me, I think partially because he was socially incompetent, but also because I saw him presented with several opportunities (sometimes even demands) to indulge in the traditional evils of office and he refused. He's also competent in surprising ways while simultaneously being radically incompetent in others. Odd duck, that one. Hopefully we'll get some more humor out of him before the machine eats us all.
Bret's passion...he is the real deal.
yeah i feel I've watched him really develop. If you listen to his early videos on Rubin report he was MUCH drier and sometimes painfully "academic" and he's become more well-rounded.
Embarrassment!!??
What about our Country on the line??!!
