Description

*****Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v2up8u5-bret-and-heather-178th-darkhorse-podcast-livestream.html***** In this 178th 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. Should men be competing in women’s sports? Do men who do so exhibit sophistry and cheating? What are the implications of Trump’s arraignment, and of the fact that MSNBC would not live broadcast his speech afterwards? What is going on with carnivorous plants? How are they like mangroves? Do they ever switch between being carnivorous and not? And what about that species in Borneo that collects the poop of tree shrews? *****Our Sponsors: UnCruise: Get $500 off any adventure cruise on a small ship into destinations including Galapagos, Panama, Alaska, and the San Juan Islands: https://uncruise.com/pages/darkhorse/ Seed: Start a new healthy habit today with Seed probiotics.

On The DarkHorse Podcast, we will explore questions that matter, with tools that work. Weekly episodes of "The Evolutionary Lens" are co-hosted with Heather Heying, in which we use an evolutionary toolkit to reveal patterns in nature--including human nature. Other episodes will feature Bret hosting long form discussions. Some guests will be well known, others obscure, but all of them are chosen because they have demonstrated unusual insight. The state and future of civilization will be a recurring theme, so buckle up!
