"You are factually incorrect," isn't an insult, unless you think you're always the smartest person in the room.
Bret doesn't think he's the smartest person in the room.
Universe maybe...
yea i get told that all the time and i just say hmm ok and then think on it and maybe change my view if necessary. if i didnt do that i would have never learned anything lol.
People who feel insulted by being told they are factually incorrect know they are lying.
That’s my take. Based on the fact that if I say “the earth is round and not flat” and someone tells me I am wrong I just laugh it off.
@@pansepot1490 I got into an argument with a colleague recently about which towers were higher,he was 100% convinced this particular tower was higher than the Eiffel tower which was just plain wrong.
He angrily said I had my facts wrong as he rushed to Google it to prove me wrong.
I just laughed,I wasn't offended as I knew I was correct.
Weinsteins reaction says it all really.
@@Webfra14 lmao
"Either I'm not careful enough or I am careful enough."
Pause. "That seems to exhausts the possibilities."
-- Devastating lmao
That's the funniest part. It's not like this other guy is some woke, vaccine toting liberal. He's also skeptical, he just got fed up with the engineered magaga-googoo "science" bs just like the rest of us.
My favorite part is that his camera makes it look like every old man new to fb.
It?
How in hades does Weinstein have any knowledge or competency to objectively measure/quantify 'military readiness'?
I thought that too. If he's going to make that assertion, he's gotta "show his work" or give some sort of citation
Do you have a question about military readiness? I might be able to answer it. I did 5 years with the Navy in the medical field.
Hi soulknife so would any department of the United States of America’s Armed Forces ever consider purposefully hurting all of their recruits for no apparent reason? I think this is a slam dunk answer here.
I remember a pre-covid time, when he talked about papers and analysed single words in the papers and pointed out that this is an inaccurate statement etc. And then covid came and the guy turned into an expert for everything and went completely nuts. He is so far gone, there is no topic in the world now where he does not think he is smart enough to be an expert. Great example how a (slightly) above average IQ guy can fall into that Dunning-Kruger hole combined with a dozen other biases and effects. I was wondering, what he does after covid - seems like he is still trapped in that hole and keeps digging.
That guy was a teacher in a not great college before he had his woke-incident, which resulted in Joe Rogan "you should do a podcast"-fame. He has published nothing in his entire career except a very flawed paper once and runs around with a Galileo-complex as the right wing poster boy scientist.
God, i just watched 30 seconds of his podcast, he talks about the FTX collapse and how there is clearly a connection to the Ukraine and Energy politics, where "the Bidens" have a pervert interest and it is connected to ivermectin and they know more about that topic because they have been tentacled into it... that guy is so far gone and his wife sits next to him and nods and doubles down. Well, if it sells supplements and CBD i guess.
@@hughquigley5337 There's the Edgewood Arsenal human experiments, but that was small in it's scale of damage
"You're not careful enough" is the mildest attack I can imagine.
Ivermectin w/ carrageenan was 100% effective??! Why didnt we use that blend then??! Or study them separately??!
Because there were people who stood to make millions from big pharma vaccines practically forced on everyone. Including the biggest fraud ever next to Joe Biden, Lord Fauci
'Cause we did, it wasn't 100% effective, you can't claim something is 100% effective, 99.99% sure, but that was one of the disputes. Most protease inhibitors were tested, PI3K inhibitors, AMPK and MAPK inhibitors, tensin homologs when COVID-patients presented with vascular issues. You need a small-cell treatment with high binding affinity and sp2 or sp3 hybridization, meaning the kinase and ligands could be potentiated to lowest effective doses to lessen side effects, or at least their severity. Ivermectin didn't fit the parameters, it was tested, if you look at cancer, specifically small-cell lymphoma, or HIV/AIDS treatment, you'll find COVID-treatment testing did well to find treatment for other intervention. OMB sucked under Trump, they dolled out grants for irrelevant research when the need for proper replication was immense.
This is where the wet-market theorists hang out.
True dat
lmfaoooo well said ... garbage like this show is whats wrong with the world
👌bingo
It took me a long time to even know what the hell you were talking about. I think that fact that you used the term "wet-market theorist" says a lot more about you, than it does this show/it's viewers. I swear, it will be the year 2050...and guys like you will still be complaining about lab leaks and Dr. Fauci.
Majority of it is just.. mocking others.
I've been INSULTED! So I refuse to leave my safe space and enter someone else's podcast.
Instead, I'm going to do a show about free speech where I complain about how the Left is always getting offended, and how they refuse to come on my podcast.
You, sir, hit the nail right on the mother fucking head.
Did you watch the whole podcast before arriving at that summary? Imo, Brett's decision to decline the invitation was an executive and rational one, not emotional or egotistical . If someone said to me: " I think you're crazy and lack any credibility - do you want to come 'round to my place for dinner?" I'd decline to spend my precious time in the company of such a person. And considering their view of me, I certainly wouldn't want to lend them the favour of my name, in attracting others to the dinner party who otherwise wouldn't be interested in attending.
@@Sarahpreecenelsonnz And if I were a fragile little baby who got his feewings huwt, I'd probably also lie and claim the other person said to me: "I think you're crazy and lack any credibility."
The left is always getting offended, u give them facts and they label u a “science denial “ cause they can’t come up with a reasonable explanation 😂 these leftest extremists are delusional.
@@Sarahpreecenelsonnz well that's just means that you aren't capable of defending your own stance...
Bret Weinstein seems to take everything deadly serious except anything that anybody else says.
He's all seams and no stuffing, making him a hand puppet.
Or anything that's actually deadly
@@MrYago-xd7um ha ha ha... so true
@@haitiancreolewithluciano fact
As I just said in another thread, its a very sad downfall.
At times during the whole COVID issues he was a voice of balance asking valid questions particularly on the lab leak.
But then he just started sliding into nonsense and anyone who questioned his position was a an enemy.
This is one of the big problems when we have issues like COVID. Everyone needs to be prepared to accept they can be wrong when nobody has the full picture. But we now live in such a polarised time where any and every public discussion is immediately dragged into radical positions where proponents just scream at anyone who disagrees with them.
A lot of public issues are complex and there is no simple answer and there is no simple fix. So long as public discussion is tribalized or hijacked by bad faith actors there is no chance of finding solutions.
Did you guys even watch the podcast? If so, we saw a very different video.
Doesn’t matter what you saw, Bret is a grifter or either really delusional.
"To be fair, they possibly aren't solely grifters. They're probably also deluded narcissists."
Michael Brooks appeared on Wright's show at least once, if not twice, and Wright appeared on TMBS. There was genuine mutual respect between the two, despite the fact that Wright operates in a different space. I'm a little surprised by the total lack of familiarity.
Man. This really made me miss Michael again.
Yeah, I remember Michael being a fan (because I was a big fan) of his book The Evolution of God. MR should have him on.
Wright is smart and a good interviewer though I'm not fully in on the ev psych stuff. Don't know why theyd have him on though other than to talk about this incident.
Sam certainly appreciates his sarcasm!
@@numberonedad just talking about this incident is enough for me. it's fucking hilarious!
They connected over Buddhism practices, including meditation. Sam doesn't share those interests, but it's a major aspect of Bob Wright's life + intellectual practice, & Michael meditated & they shared the interest in how that practice changed the brain, person, life, etc.
Cheers to Robert Wright 👌
@@TWENTYFO5 Are you a Weinstein enthusiast ? I didn’t know those existed..
@@TWENTYFO5 😂😂😂 enjoying the seethe
2:55 "...that's what a puppeteer would say..." omg that overlooked joke was pure gold 🤣🤣🤣
Like the military doesn't already have a ton of other vaccine mandates.
Like 5 seconds in and Weinstein asserts a conspiracy.
Someone had to be pulling the strings from behind the curtain.
Yeah because these last two years there's no kind of conspiracy to screw over the common citizens of the world with this idiot pandemic right I mean of course we all said it was a lab leak you called us conspiracy theorist causes crazy but of course that's been proven true we all told you faucci was the one directing gain of function research when he was not supposed to and you called us conspiracy theorist and called us crazy and well oops yet another conspiracy that was true so you'll have to forgive me if I don't judge a Man too harshly by saying something's conspiracy when he was right about 10 or 11 other conspiracies in this crap ass pandemic
@@Mr_Hassell these comments seem very suspicious to me. Inauthentic suspicious coordinated behavior. Probably goes all the way to the top.
Yeah, conspiracies never happen.
You live in denial. The powerful constantly conspire and/or have mutual interests. It ain't rocket science it's basic human behaviour. You like to live to la la land because the reality of the world(and in particular politics) is far to scary for you to actually think about. Thus your cognitive dissonance just keeps getting worse.
I don't think Bret was HUMILIATED. Both had very important things to say on the full 2hr podcast, shining a light on their respective blindspots. Blind Partisan takes, like this one from the MR are not helpful at all. They only add to the cesspit of hate.
Well yeah, although pointing this out to people who voluntarily watches this channel seems pretty futile to put it gently. Half of the commenters claim they laughed hysterically watching this clip. I don't know about you but I find that quite alarming, regardless of what viewpoint one would have on the topic. It's the third time I stumble over this channel and the hosts are just as unpalatable, cringy and lowbrow as before, yet their audience seem to think of Bret Weinstein as an intellectual midget compared to themselves. While Bret may have his blind spots and hangups, this crowd is what I believe you could safely and legitimately for all means and purposes label Beyond reach.
@@hansteike3154 Sadly, you are correct. It's the laughing and sneering at very decent and credible people that saddens me. They think they are somehow superior to the MAGA side but they're the other side of the same hate coin.
Its nice to know that when you get tired of ridiculing Jordan Peterson, there's always Bret Weinstein.

@Wynn Yessssss

Vaccine mandates have ALWAYS been a thing in the military.
The vaccines that actually prevent contracting the disease, not this one that doesn't do that.
Facts.
Yup!
Of course!
There is something seriously wrong with the Weinstein bros.
A study of their family system going back a few generations would be kind of interesting. I’m a retired therapist. I’m always wondering what family dynamics made these people who they are. If you’re human, u r from a dysfunctional family. No one exempt... some just hide it better than others. I find them just kind of sad. It’s as if they think any of us are exempt from human suffering at the hands of the powers that be. World history says otherwise. We lived in a golden slice of time in the USA.. ( not everyone)... but many. Those days never last forever.☠️☮️
I watched this entire podcast you only think brett got humiliated if you cut it up into pieces. Scam artist
The Robert Guy ends up looking like an idiot on this pod, and frankly I can see why Bret is more than a little annoyed.
I agree. This is a very shallow summarization of this little (if somewhat intense and entertaining) feud.
Scam Seder, idk why he has an audience
Wow, I’m surprised by how large an audience this channel has. This is one of the silliest misrepresentations of a podcast that I have ever seen.
That's what you get with Scam Seder. Has to make everything some bipartisan take like the media shill he is.
I watched the entire podcast. Robert Wright was evasive and willfully blind to clear and basic evidence. The exerts of the entire podcast shown in this video are conveniently selective. I have no dog in the fight and anyone who is interested should watch the entire podcast. Look at Wright's body language; weird facial movements, shaking hands, drinking to cover up his own body language, strange hand and facial gestures
No idea how these people came to a different conclusion. Bret wiped the floor with Robert.
You people, both of you, need mental help immediately. Brett couldn’t be bothered to read the abstract of a study he was quoting. That let alone many other things that he does, is grounds to doubt his “research”. Go! Back to DarkHorse podcast and bury your head in conspiracy theories. It’s your safe space.
@@MotoMilk Because if you don't completely agree with the catechism of far left ideas, you are the enemy. Sam Seder and his cast are good and Bret is evil. Anything Bret says is harmful and wrong.
It's hard to judge anyone's presentation based on watching one interaction (or even just a couple)... I've watched both these dudes over a few years in many different interactions, for dozens to hundreds of hours. They're both quirky and occasionally prickly individuals with puzzling personalities. Bob seems more often and more expressively agitated, but a little more generous in his attitudes toward his own fallibility, which from my perspective is strangely inconsistent. Which doesn't mean it's not in some sense genuine.
Most people are at least a little strange...
I will check it out.. but even in their selected exerts I think robert wright looked a bit ridiculous and nasty, sarcastic, not honest, and more like he was trying to attempt a hatchet job while inviting him on his podcast.
Wait. Is this the same guy who was all like "Ivermectin good because me biologist"?
🎯💯
@@nolongerblocked6210 Its ironic he's an evolutionary biologist yet still thinks like a caveman
@@soulknife20 this was the nicest, most cordial way to call someone a loon to their face I've ever seen 🤣🤣
Didn't the study find that Ivermectin was more useful than just a horse med like the "real news" (sponsored by Pfizer) says.
@@soulknife20
If cavemen had the thought process of Bret Weinstein, we would still be living in caves!
Instead of watching one clip go watch the podcast, you'll get a very different perspective from what Sam is portraying here
Said Darkhorse episode was a master class of patience and determination on Bret’s part. If you’re scrolling through the comments wondering why so many people are defending Bret, you really should to take a few and watch the source material.
They have no interest in truth even if the lies hurt children and national security.
There's no question Bret is patient and determined, but he uses his patience and determination to grift and harm others. This is anything but admirable.
Brett is very admirable, he has put others & whats right before himself many times in his career.
@@PlanetOfTheApes999 watch the original podcast instead of this pantomime kangaroo court and you'll see Wright admit he knows nect to nothing about it and even lay out the plausibility of Bret's hypothesis. This was a nonsense hit piece on a man that cares deeply and ethically about humanity, the truth and integrity of scientific discovery. He and the brave few like him are precisely what is needed in a world captured by corporate interests and corrupt officials obfuscating the truth to protect their donors bottom line. Fauci's emails now prove he knew there were grave doubts COVID wasn't zoonotic. There is literally no plausible explanation below corruption because incompetence couldn't have accounted for the litany of systemic errors that persist to this day. Most notably in mandates for children and the armed forces. The vaccines didn't control the pandemic. Big pharma knew they weren't fit for purpose in prevention of transmission and the safety records were so patchy we won't see them for 75 years while they enjoy record profits. Meanwhile the bleaters think it's dangerous to discuss truth because proven liars declare themselves science and clown shows like this parrot the narrative and deride the truth.. all to keep you feeling safe and protect that bottom line.
@@aussiehardwood6196 He used to do that, but not anymore. He's become a malicious grifter.
Trust me, I'm a scientist.
He minimizes it as just "an error" rather than cop to a very lazy or sloppy interpretation or analysis. Nevermind that we could infer he is just mendacious
Its motivated reasoning, or lack of reasoning lol
Bret Weinstein has cold feet too!
Forget Crowder, think one of those "10 times fox got owned" videos and realize this is up there in embarrassment. The friggin' no-go zone guy melted less than Bret.
The Weinstiens are masters of Rube Goldburg Explanations.
I failed science class in school and didn’t even turn up to lessons for the last year and even I know that presenting the Argentina study where you give someone 2 things and then saying it means the one thing is 100% effective is incredibly stupid and wrong.
Paying attention still isn't your strong point.
@@maryhalverson5713 is that wrong ?
Weinsteins response was legitimate - "if we gave people two things and it was 100 percent effective, why are we not doing that".
Yet the response is "how are you so sure it was ivermectin that helped? Now, ignore the study and go get the big pharma vaccine".
Was that really that difficult to understand?
If the combination of the 2 was extremely effective, why not use them to treat Covid? Instead we got a crappy high profit medication from Pfizer that no one took
Don't forget without a control.
This literally proves that no matter how quantifiably intelligent you may be, constantly consuming conspiracy theories rots your brain
I don't think he's supposed to be smart, is he?
Weinstein knows better.
He’s chosen a side in the Covid debate.
Brett tried to avoid the point by trying to be pedantic, and having his feelings hurt.
..But Bret is always pedantic. No trying involved when it's a condition of his career.
What was the point? Looked like he forgot to mention both things, either way if its one or both, its a game changer for treatment. Seems like splitting that hair is the very definition of pedantic. If it turns out to be true, i would have a hard conscious issue with allowing untold lives lost.
@@thesecondquestion
The point was that he didn't think Bret was the most trustworthy person to listen to about the topic because of the way he presented that study. He showed how he presented the study in a dishonest manner and it made Bret untrustworthy on the topic to him. He showed how the study pretty much disagreed with Bret's conclusion, when Bret was trying to use the study to back up his conclusion. And he kept saying pretty much, just on that topic, he felt Bert was untrustworthy.
@@terrencelockett4072 thanks Terrance, honest open conversation is so important. Im a bit on the spectrum, and can miss subtle points, i appreciate you gently pointing me towards it, i was truly baffled at the discourse, and couldnt figure out what the issue was. if more people interacted like we are, it would be a better world. :)
@@terrencelockett4072 also you reminded me, that i assume nobody is correct exactly, and listen accordingly....meaning your courteous reply added value to me, and hopefully through me at some future point to the world, by helping me to be a better thinker :)👍
Robert Wright should DEFINITELY be a guest. He’s a terrific thinker and author.
“You didn’t have to go far to find this fact” is still further than Weinstein is willing to go.
Yup, he will never venture into anything that contradicts his opinion with actual facts…
@@gorillaguerillaDK indoobatibbly.
you guys have clearly not watched the podcast. For the great majority of the episode Robert was conceding that he hadn't done the research to challenge Bret's assertion... he utterly embarassed himself the entire episode. He agreed with every premise that led to Bret's assertion and then said it wasn't logical. Trying to flip this as a Bret fail is something that I'd expect from ignorant or malicious right wing extremists or the Young Turks. You should watch the full unedited podcast and reconsider your position.
Brett Weinstein point out the fact that the vaccine isnt healthy and Covid was manufactured both of which have been proven to be true. What are you people not understanding? The CDC admits the Pfizer vaccine causes myocarditis and other problems.
Y’all are so busy looking for you’re a moment to prove that you were right after all, instead of looking for the facts. that’s been the problem this whole time. y’all never entered the discussion, wanting the truth you entered the discussion, wanting to win, that is the definition of ignorance!

Brett has more credibility on this subject than any of these pfools…they can’t produce a BA degree between the lot of them. If given the choice they’d just re-read their Harry Potter box sets.
Dude, how do you explain Brett “quoting” a study as “evidence” when he didn’t even read the ABSTRACT? Do you know what an abstract is?
For starters, a BS degree would have more import in the discussion at hand than a BA.
You’re delusional

Petty btch move
Brett is a parody of himself
His name is Bret! Don't go insulting those that spell the name right!
for all his bloviating about the free exchange of diverse ideas bret never seems to talk to anyone who disagrees with him (about covid at least). so i feel very blessed to get to see someone smack him around a bit. what a nice lil treat
He won't talk to you about anything you disagree with him about. Hence why he is only able to use the one power he has, the power to disengage and not engage. He just chooses who he wants on, and creates an echo chamber.
Emma's laugh is so contagious lol
just listen to the episode.
it is worth it.
Bret bothers me the most because he looks just like the best man at my wedding, who also became a right wing grifter.

He’s so disappointing he was great before Covid and now he’s despicable.
Between this and the Jimmy Dore sock puppet caper, I have everything I need for xmas.
Was thinking about Bret having a twocoats myself. Will be a merry time by the festivus pole this year.
Uhmmm....no Brett was NOT humiliated, you were unable to articulate an argument that countered his. Thats why you clearly lost. You were to worried about 'winning' and 'being right' than actually rebutting what was clearly in front of all if us.
If you listen to the entire podcast, which is almost 2 hours long, it's evident that Brett Weinstein is far more knowledgeable than Wright, and in fact Wright is forced to admit many times that he's out of his depth. Weinstein is also speaking in good faith, whereas Wright is just posturing.
It is ridiculous to think Brett Weinstein was somehow discredited or humiliated here.
Let's see how many people will acknowledge it
I don't know who this Robert fella is, but he was certainly Wright to call out Bret's bull to his face
LOL
He’s definitely a better human being than Bret Weinstein is!
I read one of his books a decade or so ago, The Evolution of God, not a bad book as I recall it!
And I know he’s associated with something as rare as a fairly Progressive Think Tank called New America,that advocates for a lot of much needed reforms.

Not familiar with his work, but I’d bet my life he is more trustworthy than Brett Weinstein
He did some podcast episodes with Michael Brooks
@@hughquigley5337 He is. He's also interested in politics/foreign policy stuff and is very good at entertaining different ideas, giving them a fair shot, but also criticising them. I've never known him to profess more certainty than is merited.
As was alluded to in the video, he is someone engaged in the "free exchange of ideas", but he's not the sort of person who would use that term as a smokescreen for bullshit.
Reasonably smart guy. Super smart no.
Why would you take Brett as a credible source on covid? He’s not a epidemiologist or public health authority
This 💪
You would if you are antivax and need to be reaffirmed on your misguided belief and keep on feeling vindicated in your bubble. Which is true? Bret really believes in what he is saying or the money from clicks is too easy and too good to refuse?
I wouldn't necessarily take him as credible. He does have a doctoral degree in evolutionary biology, an undergrad degree in biology, and was a professor. He's not an MD or virologist. Still, it's nice to get differing views on things. I'd say he's more credible than these hosts or Robert Wright on matters of biology.
Why would you NOT take him as a credible source?

The guy humiliated himself cause Wright say "I can prove that' not wrong" When he meant to say not right lol
Nobody has less conscience or moral integrity than Bret Weinstein. I'm glad to see people abandoning him just like they're abandoning Trump.

This is a catch-all show to grab viewers who want to see themselves as smart without ever actually reading anything themselves or watching a full 2-hour conversation themselves. The hosts don't even know who Robert Wright is or what books he has written. Luckily, the Majority Report is a strictly non-doing-your-research kind of place. If you want to see only sound-bites that are edited to ensure that whoever you already don't like looks bad, and to never actually hear someone's words come directly from them, but only trust what people who hate them said they said, then Majority Report is the right show for you. They can't even show Bret's tweet that Robert's tweet was in response to. Then you might realize that Robert mischaracterized what he said in the first place, and it all spirals out of control in increasingly absurd distortions from there. (I listened to the entire 2-hour conversation, and I read Robert Wright's book The Moral Animal many years ago.) I think the hosts of this show and its viewers are looking for the most lazy way possible to appear to know about intellectual topics without doing any actual reading or listening or finding out anything firsthand. Just hear what someone said someone said someone said and call it a day. Hopefully you will all manage to squeak by in life without anyone who actually reads and listens to things bumping into you. Just stay here and watch only this show & maybe you'll manage it.
AMEN
Bret tweeted that the only rational explanation for the army's vaccine mandate is to intentionally degrade military readiness. Bret showed his original tweet in a clip on his own channel where he was extremely defensive about it. He's apparently since deleted both the tweet and his clip about it. He torched his reputation forever among intelligent people with that tweet.
Yo! How did this only get 126 likes??? Christmas came early! lmao!! Also, thanks for turning me on to "Decoding The Gurus" podcast where you can learn all about these charlatans.✌
So I'm confused. Can Brett Weinstein not handle face to face dissent?
I'm so disappointed.
He doesn't want to catch Covid.
Lmao delusion
He couldn't even handle dissent by not having to be involved in a campus event.
Well meaning constructive criticism = “number of insulting things” lmao
@@DahVoozel wait I'm not a Weinstein fan or defender or anything. But i thought they were told they couldn't be on the campus?
Brett has been right about most of the things c19 related. These guys are all skills for the clot shot. Just look at the miocarditis study from Germany. Solid science
There is another study from Switzerland pointing in the same direction.
He's been wrong on everything.
@ninjamietattoo what has he been right about?
My 2 cents (sorry for its length, these are however, complex situations): There is truth and misinformation on all sides of the aisle. The politicization of the virus, and the dumbing down of science to a general palpability, has skewed understanding of things that are more complicated, or simplistic, than many will accept or comprehend.
It's true that the vaccine(s) can cause some similar effects as real world infection, however these are immunological: In this case, your own immune system’s own (over)reaction/response to spike. (These same reactions are possible during real world infection(s).) The fact that some people experience these reactions is in part, a testament to the vaccine’s importance. That is/after receiving the vaccine: At least if you become infected from SARS-CoV-2, you will likely not develop the disease; the vaccines are designed to prevent: SARS (COVID-19).
Vaccines do not, nor have they ever prevented infection (Why wild claims of such an effect of the vaccine were ever made to begin with, is unfathomable), nor can they eliminate potential immunological responses (common-cold/flu-like symptoms; this is one of the reasons why some believe/claim that the flu-shot is ineffective). Vaccines prevent specific pathogen proliferation, therein: specific disease.
The possibility of these adverse reactions attributed to the vaccine(s) could be: there is potential for more spike protein being present, (than would otherwise), during real world infection; as the immune system could neutralize the infection, before the pathogen can proliferate to a degree: where the amount of spike in the vaccine, ever exist, thus the immune system response doesn't lead to such an overreaction to present virus/spike protein numbers, that may happen to travel into the heart wall; causing Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle).
These reactions are not exclusive to the vaccine; they are consequences of infection (this includes clotting). It could be argued: Myocarditis is not (at all) as life threatening as SARS, so the potential risk is a worthwhile trade-off, especially if you are vulnerable to the virus, itself. However, there is no actual way of knowing individuals' chances of SARS development, during an actual SARS-CoV-2 infection, let alone: if unvaccinated. The vaccines have indeed saved lives. To which degree, is impossible to calculate, however, undeniable. Warnings of adverse effects should be provided, nonetheless.
SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 risk development (SARS: The specific disease the vaccines are designed to prevent) is not the same thing.
(I’ll be surprised if this comment is not deleted, no matter how important these distinctions are.)
Nothing I have said above takes into account the current vaccines' effectiveness against all existing variants, as it could be possible to get infected with a strain that you have not been vaccinated against; however, unlikely.
Please show me peer reviewed studies in major journals? I am not an epidemiologist, I defer to expert consensus on these matters. What is the expert consensus, can you tell me?
Oh boo hoo, someone criticized my interpretation of a study. I am INSULTED and DISRESPECTED, how dare you sir! Forget all the people who I have been deluding into taking anti-parasitics for a viral disease, I personally have been harmed in the feelings!
"That pretty much exhausts the possibilities" was my favorite line
Yea that was sharp lol
It didn't go well for Brett? By the end of the podcast Robert seemed punchdrunk and was downright incoherent due to the intellectual and logical beating he had suffered at the hands of Brett. Shame on you for distorting the truth so blatantly.
You guys are bad faith actors.
Nice editing. I have to say... How many people does your organization have working overtime watching TH-cam comments?
Was Bret too defensive? Yes. But I don’t think he was owned in that interview.
He was owned. Perhaps less for his own failures than for the way he spontaneously self immolated in response to mention of those same failures.
Too defensive? He didn't defend himself. He came across as a petulant child

Weinstein's initial response was a strawman and also an ad hominem .
His second response was an appeal to ridicule.
His third " " " " " " .
Finally...feigned insult.
Not one of Weinstein's points was anything but a logical fallacy.
@@jackm3040 You sure dribble irrational garbage. You're American?
Emma's laugh is contagious
This segment is in no way representative of this conversation. Just like Bret says at the beginning, he thinks he would be able to “masterfully” fend off Weight’s attacks and that’s exactly what happens.
At the end, Weight still didn’t even understand Bret’s hypothesis and was just eager to state his own which Bret even covers by explaining that Wright is looking at the issue of military readiness in a vacuum, void of the government corruption dilemma, Covid policy outside the military and the high likelihood that external forces are buying influence in our political system.
You can tell he knows how bad he fucked up based on how angry he is. I see it all the time. The angriest person in the room is the big brain intellectual with a massive ego who gets called out for a legitimately stupid mistake. Can't accept he's just human like the rest of us so gets angry and storms out.
Which is why most academics are very careful about expressing their opinions too forcefully, at least in a room full of academics because they know full well they're going to be pulled apart if they fuck up. This is the problem with guys like this these days. They're no longer academics-they're right wing performance artists and they're used t playing to a room full of acolytes-not well educated professionals.
Except he didn’t storm out
“If I talk calmly and sound like this reasonable person, people will think I’m in the right and on another intellectual level” - the Bret Weinstein strategy.
Sounding reasonable is evidence that’s he’s wrong?
@@LesserMoffHootkins no, it’s the veneer of being this calm, rational and reasonable person when what you’re saying is ridiculous and then you can go ahead and say that you’re just being this truth seeker
and that the people harshly criticising you are the wrong ones due to their harshness. A calm but wrong person against a person who is viciously criticising you would,
by face value, make the former look good and reasonable and latter the opposite. Like when some think that a British accent might make them sound reasonable even if what they say is incredibly dumb.

Seder is a desperate joke.
What is your need to tear people down ?
Bret and his brother are intellectual frauds.
Truth be told, Weinstein is just a couple clicks away from Alex Jones and Natural News.
it's literally a matter of tone. if weinstein spoke louder and moved his hands more he'd be indistinguishable from infowars
He needs to start selling penis and brain pills before he gets to Alex Jones' level.
He surely got the face color right at the end of this clip
@@heptonaut Absolutely. It's all a veneer of thoughtful dialogue.
The guest trying to make it up to his disgruntled girlfriend. LOL
Brett demonstrated right there he is no scientist LOL. SCientists are used to direct dismissal of their ideas by their colleagues
A while back Bret responded to a tweet asking what people think everyone should worry about. One of his answers was alarm clocks. The guy makes a living convincing his listeners that he's the only "scientist" willing to let them know that absolutely everyone and everything is out to get them. It's paranoia theatre.
His wife has a big hand in promoting that delusion as well
Did he expound on why people should be worried about alarm clocks, or did he just tweet alarm clocks and move on?
@@soulknife20 It was a while back, but I don't think that he elucidated on anything, he answered in list form. Alarm clocks was the funniest thing on there, but there was some other wacky stuff. *Edit* Just found it. In a reply from October 13th he tweets,
I worry about:
Alarm clocks
Daylight-spec bulbs (after dark)
Flu shots
Emulsifiers
Air-conditioners
Casual sex
Adjuvants
Sunblock
Porn
Glyphosate

I watched the interview before, and it was not really productive regardless of which side you took IMO. Then if you come here to The Majority Report were they just grossly misrepresent the conversation by taking snippets(Starting 1:29:00 in btw) of the 2 hour long conversation. Makes me know I will never come back to Majority Report
Wrong. Seder and crew are ONLY talking about the clip in question. What don't you seem to get?
@@monotech20.14 let me guess. You didn't watch the full video? That means you lack context. Which is exactly what I was saying the issue was. They took snippets, The first one being an hour into the conversation, and were like "Look he said dumb" with no context.
Um the only person humiliated was Robert, humiliating himself by going on DH with about 10% of the back reading he should have done. It was like listening to Brett interview a spitefull 6 year old. Nothing of substance to say, just childish emotive nonsense.
Wright actually can be quite interesting/funny
Robert Wright was insufferable. Genuinely impressed Brett held it together..
Yup. What a disgusting little weasel.
Seriously?😂😂😂
Yes I too am glad Bret didn't cry following that incredibly mild pushback. Dad's proud of you Bret
He does the same thing as Tim Pool, he frames these crazy beliefs his audience has as reasonable by giving half the facts in a story or study.
The critic is more about the wider patterns of 'mistakes' and how they can be used as weaponized ignorance to push a narrative. Well informed by themselves and their echo chamber, no incentive to change when money is rolling in.
The biggest lesson to be learned from Wright in this exchange was his point that if, in the study being cited ( on the efficacy of Ivermectin), there were two medications administered simultaneously, there is no way to determine which was effective. Brings me to the Joe Rogan situation wherein, after he tested positive for covid, chose not to rely on his "natural immunity" and instead took every pharmaceutical he could lay hands on. He reports that he took hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, prednisone, etc. He reported recovering in about three days. How would/could he know which of these medications, if any, actually had any effect on his recovery time? Many of his fans immediately trumpeted this as a vindication of the effectiveness of Ivermecticin. It was obvious from the response of his worshipers that his story had the weight of a scientific paper and proof that the "establishment" has lied to promote the useless vaccine, once again.
"Many of his fans immediately trumpeted this as a vindication of the effectiveness of Ivermecticin." What an odd argument to make, to insinuate that "many of Joe Rogan's fans" somehow represent what any of the experts on these podcasts think. You are well aware that Joe Rogan didn't make these claims, so you find a few idiots on the internet who did? Who were these fans? Randos on the internet?
@@thegreatbigintergalactic8499 Rogan talked a big game about natural immunity. Claimed that if you are healthy you likely don't need to get vaccinated. Then he tests positive for covid. He doesn't trust his immune system. He takes numerous pharmaceutical drugs, all of which have potentially harmful side effects. He posts a video and claims that after he took all those drugs, he fell "great" after 3 days. If he had any faith that any one of these drugs would help him, he wouldn't have felt the need to take all of them at the same time. He couldn't possibly know if any of them were responsible for his recovery. Joe has had experts on. He seems to ignore them and chooses the council of randos like Weinstein, Malone, RFK Jr., etc. Poor, rich Joe.
Why not apply the scientific method to his claims. This was 7 months ago. Look at the Ivermectin claims today
@@82fdny97 Looking at claims is not the scientific method. Examining the evidence for claims, pro and con, as to whether they are supportable, with data, is a part of the scientific method. Since I first heard of it I also heard many claims about Ivermectin. There is no lack of claims about this pharmaceutical drug. But there is a lack of data that would support it's use as a treatment for SARS-CoV-2, nor is there evidence for it in a preventive application. I have read about a dozen abstracts of studies ( invitro, animal and human). I am not a scientific researcher so I get bogged down in the details of the main body of a study. I think it would be great if a remedy like this were effective and widely available. I don't buy most conspiracy theories.
I'm curious as to what "natural immunity" Joe Rogan supposedly relied on, *before* he had the opportunity to acquire it? Are you really sure that's what he said?
haha, this was friggin great
I teach modern Buddhism at a Canadian univeristy and Robert Wright comes up a lot - he wrote a book called "Why Buddhism is True" which garnered a lot of attention in Western Buddhist circles. Students seem to find his work interesting. Super weird to hear that he was associated with Weinstein, but thank god he's shooting him down here and distancing himself from this loon.
Wow I didn’t realize that it was the same guy.
Yeah I prefer Jay Garfield or something but yeah. I read his book in college.
Why would anyone listen to Weinstein anyway?

Those Wartstein bros are terrible. This video is even funnier than I thought
Bret was extremely articulate and Wright made his point well as well -- they were arguing about 2 separate things which was the problem, an all-too-common problem with arguments in general. I appreciated watching 2 people stay in the room no matter what. It was good stuff. Too bad you guys you didn't evaluate the actual content of the thing they were discussing. Missed opp.
Almost like doing so wasn't the intent, rather than performing ham-handed (and unentertaining) smear attempts. 👌
Thank you. Your assessment is closer to the actual exchange between them, then Seder's version.(IMO)
The guy humiliated himself cause Wright say "I can prove that' not wrong" When he meant to say not right lol
Well said. I agree.
hope they see this comment!
Weinstein strikes me as one of the people who thinks they're so smart that the first convenient idea that pops into their heads must be correct, they don't have to think about it. It happens to people when they achieve something that they can wave as proof that they're smart, whether it's going to Columbia Law School, being a member of Mensa, or having a PhD in math.
I cannot say for the people that went to columbia law school
But for the latter two

Is that it?

Brett was hardly owned. He's just taken aback by being unchallenged this way on his own podcast.
I see a lot of people saying in the comments that this Robert guy is great.
How can he be if he was using Bret as a source?
Easy to infer one possibility: Bret was rational unt he realized he could grift off covid vaccine skepticism.
Right, cheers!
Never been in to Bret. 👍
@@GazB85
Bret was still kind of shit back then IMHO, but at least not bonkers grade!
Him losing his marbles completely was a process that gradually started, as I recall it, a year or two, (maybe a bit more), before he got fired, and then he attempted to stick to relevancy by being part of the "IDW", and when COV-19 hit, he used it to boost his "relevance" among people already waddling around in the IDW bog….
@@gorillaguerillaDK Thanks.
I honestly never knew who he was apart from being in the IDW.
Nobody was humiliated besides those in this video who spend countless hours of their time to shittalk and dismiss people for a small fraction of what they bring to the table.

@Mr.Yago I find Bret and Heather slightly paranoid as well. Scepticism is one thing, and certainly has its place, yet these two have come to approach everything with adversarial footing, assuming people have bad intentions, or that they're put up to these objections by "outside forces", as in this instance we see Bret accusing Robert Wright that someone put him up to it...
