Bret and Heather 199th DarkHorse Podcast Livestream: Surgical Totalitarianism

Bret Weinstein on Odysee

In this 199th 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.
In this episode we discuss the FCC’s plan to expand the scope of their reach to…everything, in the name of equity (of broadband access). We compare this move to that of the WHO, and also to what happened at Evergreen, and to pretty much all “equity” maneuvers ever. We discuss the spread of viral information on-line, and how Renée DiResta would like to stop it. In light of Bari Weiss’s speech, we discuss why anti-Semitism is on the rise. And we discuss the normalization of things like anti-Semitism and autogynephilia, how the social contract is decaying, and why young people are jumping from diagnosis to diagnosis, and why it seems like a mistake.
