Podcast appearances and mentions of Bret Weinstein

In this 167th 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. It's our three-year anniversary doing these livestreams!This week we revisit raccoon dogs and the origins of SARS-CoV2. Then: Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT—should we be worried? If so, how worried? Bret proposes three categories of AI: malevolent, misaligned, and deranging. Finally: trans ideology and activism: trans-women will not be allowed to compete against women in international sports. And men are allowed to shut down women on a #LetWomenSpeak tour, so long as they claim to be women, or to be speaking for men who claim to be women. This is not the next civil rights battle; this is a battle for reality.*****Our sponsors:Vivo Barefoot: Shoes for healthy feet—comfortable and regenerative, enhances stability and tactile feedback.

Dr. Robert Malone is an American physician, biochemist and virologist. His early work focused on mRNA technology, pharmaceuticals, and drug repurposing research. He skyrocketed into the public eye after high profile interviews with Bret Weinstein, and Joe Rogan which resulted in "270 experts calling for Spotify to moderate misinformation." Malone also released a new book entitled "Lies My Gov't Told Me: And The Better Future Coming," which was published in November 2022 to rave reviews.  In this episode we discussed 5th generation warfare, censorship in the age of social media, common tactics of the establishment, mass formation psychosis and "nudge technology," how to combat government the censorship industrial complex, lab leak hypothesis and Fauci's involvement, the truth regarding the "died suddenly" phenomenon, the "no virus" theory and "terrain theory," event 201 and involvement of the Gates foundation and we talked about Dr. Malone's new book and the better future coming.

In this 166th 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 ants and agriculture, coevolution and symbiosis, the mainstream media and SARS-CoV2 origins, raccoon dogs and Kristian Andersen. We talk corruption, capture, and narrative control. We finish with two heartening stories about resistance, and coming together, that remind us of how to be good and human to one another.*****Our sponsors:MUDWTR: is a coffee alternative with mushrooms and herbs (and cacao!) and is delicious, with 1/7 the caffeine as coffee.

When Disneyworld becomes DeSantisland, Eric Weinstein will be in charge of the Epcot Planetarium, JP Sears will headline the Family Values comedy stage, Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Pageau will build an Orthodox cathedral for male transformation rituals. And Cinderella Castle will be remodeled into a Potemkin Capitol where Mikki Willis will choreograph and film daily insurrections. The groundwork is being laid now, as we explore the institutionalization of QAnon. Moms for Liberty, egged on by Mike Flynn, is taking over school boards throughout the Sunshine State. Chris Rufo is now a college trustee, and Bret Weinstein is holding court in state medical committees. All while our conspirituality influencers, from Sears to Northrup to Avocado Wolfe, cheer on the dissolution of every social contract, every veneer of democracy.  The propaganda and sadism is so despairing that Derek might need religion, and Matthew might lose himself in retro fantasies of Disneyworld. Luckily, Julian talks with Sarasota anti-DeSantis activist Terra Kater about fighting the good fight under the hot sun. Show Notes CBD is everywhere. But is it a scam?

In this 165th 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 mis-, dis-, and mal- information, and terrorism, in light of testimony before Congress regarding the Twitter files and government interference in the exchange of information. We learn how the government would like us to quash narratives that it finds displeasing or inconvenient. We discuss the nature of respiratory disease and pandemics, and consider how much of the destruction that happened in the last three years might have been iatrogenic: caused by medical treatment (rather than by the virus). We consider what happened in 2018-2019, during the Spanish Flu, and the evidence that much of the damage then might have been iatrogenic—specifically from exceedingly high doses of aspirin. And we share the words of theologian Paul Tillich, who broadcast warnings and passion into Nazi Germany, his homeland, to reach the people and encourage resistance. ***** Sponsors: Mindbloom: at-home ketamine therapy.

Betty has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, which have impacted her whole life with joint dislocations starting at the age of 7. Despite multiple surgeries and years spent in a wheelchair, she has had multiple anaphylactic episodes. In 2021, she found herself bedridden and facing PAO surgery to fix her hip dysplasia when she decided to try the carnivore diet. Within two weeks, she was walking and off medication, and she canceled future procedures. Now, a year and a half later, she is pregnant and attributes her success to the diet. Before this, she was running a vegan catering business and had been eating plant-based while dealing with her chronic health issues. She has always been passionate about nutrition and studied it at university but realized how politicized and tunnel-visioned the teachings and policies can be. In 2021, she appeared on Dark Horse with Bret Weinstein to discuss her health issues and the failed and over-politicized healthcare system in Australia.  https://www.instagram.com/bettyserahealth/ Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer 00:41 Introduction 02:18 Bed-ridden in twenties 04:32 Food van 06:33 Mast cell activation syndrome 08:36 Digestive issues 11:29 Nerve blocks 13:24 Carnivore diet and genetic disorders 14:35 Veganism 16:35 Being in a wheelchair 18:10 Anorexia, restricting foods  19:56 Healing relationship with food 21:33 Fear of animal fats 23:09 Malnourishment 25:57 Vegetarian keto 29:40 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 31:55 Relationship with food 35:13 Food is medicine 36:34 Mental health on the carnivore diet 39:26 Shawn's first experience with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 43:51 Betty's pregnancy 48:10 Meat aversion during pregnancy 50:34 Where to find Betty See open positions at Revero: https://jobs.lever.co/Revero/ Join Carnivore Diet for a free 30 day trial: https://carnivore.diet/join/ Book a Carnivore Coach: https://carnivore.diet/book-a-coach/ Carnivore Shirts: https://merch.carnivore.diet Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://carnivore.diet/subscribe/ . ‪#revero #shawnbaker #Carnivorediet #MeatHeals #HealthCreation   #humanfood #AnimalBased #ZeroCarb #DietCoach  #FatAdapted #Carnivore #sugarfree  ‪

"I think Jesus wants us to have a paradigm where we notice His truth and His beauty everywhere."—Andy Jennings We welcome back to the programme Andy Jennings—the brilliant singer-songwriter of the Christian indie band Dissident Prophet—for a wide-ranging conversation as part of the ongoing series here at TMR called: "Following Christ in the New Old Normal." In the first conversation, with Rev Phill Sacre, we discussed "awakeness" in the church and beyond. In the second, Pastor Stephen Buckley shared his perspective on the covid era, interpreting the response of so many churches in terms of God's constructive judgement upon the churches themselves. In the third, Jeremiah Allen explained his conviction that only with the Fruit of the Spirit will Christians successfully navigate the troubled waters of the days ahead. And in this fourth, wide-ranging conversation, Andy Jennings shares with us how a change of theological focus, plus a brush with death, helped prepare him for specific challenges during the covid era, and how choosing to see God in all things can transform our lives and position us positively in Christ to face the days to come.

Eric holds a Ph.D. in mathematical physics from Harvard, but did not pursue the traditional academic route at all. He is an author, mathematician, economist, and Managing Director of Thiel Capital. Eric practices physics outside the academic establishment, and in that regard he is most famous for his geometric unity proposal. He is the host of The Portal podcast and known as one of the voices of the intellectual dark web. Weinstein is a vocal critic of modern academic hierarchies and advocates for advances in scientific theory over an emphasis on experimental results. He is the host of The Portal Podcast which can be found at https://ericweinstein.org/. twitter.com/EricRWeinstein 00:04:30 Difference between atheism, agnosticism, and the belief in a “first cause”.

In this 164th 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, race, death and sex. No, really. Science: why it is critical—in science and in sense-making in general—to separate the observation of a thing, from the interpretation of what it means. Race: why acting to protect yourself from individual bad actors is different from avoiding whole demographic groups. Death: Daniel Ellsberg, who released the Pentagon Papers, revealed a terminal diagnosis this week. We discuss him, his legacy, and death more generally. Sex: How can different lifestyles—e.g., “neo-trad” vs polyamorous—co-exist in a functioning society? Or can they? Also, we begin with a brief conversation about the Inca. *****Our sponsors: House of Macadamias: Delicious and nutritious macadamia nuts, in all sorts of configurations.

In this 163rd 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 individual vs. public health, and whether the failures of the last three years are due to an over-reliance on clinical reasoning. (Spoiler: they're not.) Rather, the failures are due to a lack of evolutionary thinking, in combination with reductionism and a reliance on both metrics and credentials. Then: continuing last week's discussion of how models are the product of science, how do we assess the claim that shedding caused a case of myocarditis? Finally: race relations are disintegrating in some circles, and that seems to be the obvious result of race-baiting by supposedly well-intentioned “liberals” wielding DEI initiatives. There is a widespread move to shame people for things that are immutable (e.g. race), celebrate bad things that are mutable (e.g. kinks), and pretend that immutable things can change (e.g. sex). ***** Our sponsors: Helix: Excellent, sleep-enhancing, American-made mattresses.

In this 162nd 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 John Campbell's discussion of an autopsy report, and his discussion of drug recommendations in 2020 Britain raises, which raises serious questions about medical intent. We discuss scientific models—the good kind—and how Campbell's first video reveals the correctness of our model of mRNA vaccine injury. Then we discuss a research paper, Wanzhu et al 2023, which purports to find that people vaccinated against Covid are less likely to go to the ER, to be hospitalized, and to die, than are unvaccinated people who have a history of Covid. We discuss whether or not this is true.

My guest today is Kathleen Stock. Kathleen is a philosopher and a writer, and she was a philosophy professor at the University of Sussex for many years, until she was stampeded out of her job by a mob of angry students. As you'll hear in this episode, Kathleen's main offense was her views on trans issues, which are broadly aligned with people like JK Rowling and Helen Joyce. Due to these critiques of Trans activist ideology, she was more or less run out of her university. Kathleen's story didn't make as many headlines in America as it should have. However, it really is one of the most egregious examples of cancel culture since Brett Weinstein's debacle at Evergreen. Though Kathleen and I don't agree on everything, as you'll see in the episode, I think the treatment she's received has been shameful. In any event, we discuss all of that in this episode. We talk about the conceptual distinction between sex and gender. We talk about whether one should respect people's preferred pronouns and I think there's some distance between Kathleen and me on those two topics. We also talk about the conflict between trans rights and female rights. We talk about what to do with female-only spaces such as locker rooms, bathrooms, women's sports, and prisons. We talk about what to do with children who self-identify as Trans. We talk about puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgical transitions. We also discuss the phenomenon of social contagion, detransitioners, and desisters.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Happy Valentine's Day! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day, running through updates on this weekend's mass shooting at Michigan State, the slowing consumer price increases, the revelations coming out of East Palestine, Biden nominating his 100th Federal Judge, Starbucks being punished for union busting, and Israel's protests over Netanyahu's abuses of the Judicial branch, before diving deeper into Nikki Haley's Presidential run. Next, they parse through the discourse around the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, with the catastrophe coming just months out from the US Federal Government stepping in to break a freight rail strike, as US freight companies cut down on their workforce, making fewer people work longer hours on bigger trains, before Sam and Emma tackle the lobbying of the Trump Administration to reverse break requirements of freight lines, which further emphasized the externalized cost of freight rail deregulation. Shifting into an Ohio-specific lens, Sam and Emma walk through the responses of Governor DeWine and Senator JD Vance as they tiptoe around the severe regulatory and labor issues at hand, pointing their fingers at woke EPA policies and a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that is still waiting for Ohio to actually request aid. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Rep. Maxwell Frost absolutely nail his appearance on the House Oversight Committee, Biden nailing down the GOP on Social Security during the State of the Union and why we still can't trust them, and the GOP's bigoted and violent legislation against trans Americans. Patrick from Pelham Bay also walks through Brett Weinstein's most recent quackery promotion, Rin from California dives into the GOP's turn to fascism, and Hua from Raleigh talks about internal dysfunction and corruption at the EPA. Jordan Peterson wishes men had more at stake to stop them from assaulting women, plus, your calls and IMs!

In this 161st 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 Godot, dogs, and science. Do the New York Times and the Brookings Institution have insight into what's true, what's not, and how science is done? Could they define hypothesis, prediction, or test? We think not. New “research” out of Brookings claims that we are leading purveyors of misinformation, who “burnish [our] scientific bona fides” by using tricky terms like “correlation” and “causation.” Brookings having established that we are cranks for discussing scientific articles that are on pre-print servers (and so haven't been peer-reviewed), we point to Nature's discussion this week of…a scientific article on a pre-print server. Finally, we discuss how you might use a scientific approach to increase your odds of surviving in the Indonesian rainforest. ***** Our book, A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century, is available everywhere books are sold, including from Amazon: https://a.co/d/dunx3at Check out our store!

In this 160th 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 why sport has different categories for men and women, and actors and actresses are up for different awards, but sculptors, scientists, and screenwriters aren't assessed by sex. What is the difference, and why does it matter? Should music awards be divvied up by sex? How about surfing competitions? Then we discuss how never to end up in another situation in which the authorities are spouting nonsense, they somehow convince far too many people that they are the voice of science; and dangerous, unscientific policies are made that will affect millions for a long time to come. Many people who consider themselves heterodox thinkers got it very wrong throughout Covid, but now claim that those of us who got it right did so through contrarianism or luck. Wrong, and wrong.*****Our sponsors:House of Macadamias: Delicious and nutritious macadamia nuts, in all sorts of configurations.

In this 159th 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 how to predict things that reliably turn out to be true, especially in the public health sphere: use the scientific method, employ a generalist toolkit, and engage in campfire conversations. We also talk about the Project Veritas video of a Pfizer executive discussing what Pfizer may be discussing, Pfizer's official response to that video, and what the implications are societally and scientifically, and how this might be framed using Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. ***** Our sponsors: Sundays: Dog food so tasty and healthy, even husbands swear by it.

Also: why do searches for “alpha male” and “gender norms” yield such bizarre results? And: why are we allowing the phrase “Adult Attracted Minor” to spread, as if it isn't normalizing pedophilia?

Highlights: “Note what Bret Weinstein said there: ‘Anyone who's in these educational institutions who insists on seeing and discussing REALITY is going to face disciplinary hearings'. This is where the modern woke university has gone. It's literally gone insane!” “We have studies, ironically, that show that scientists and scholars won't go near some subjects precisely because of the woke blowback they're afraid of suffering like Bret and Jordan are suffering. And unfortunately, that means that the academy is increasingly corning off a significant portion of reality as taboo, it's not allowed to be explored.” “Peterson is absolutely right: If we are going to be free thinkers, we must be free to speak!” “Jordan Peterson has achieved ‘Escape velocity', which is the velocity you have to have in order to escape the gravitational pull of another object. What Rogan is saying there is that Jordan Peterson has achieved an effectual immunity from the threats of academia.”   Timestamps:              [01:12] What's going on with Peterson and on Bret Weinstein's own run-in with university-enforced cancel culture [03:24] Weinstein's response to the threat received by Jordan Peterson; how the academy is not allowing some reality to be explored [05:44] Peterson's observation on speech and thought and how cancel culture is in effect stifling our thoughts [08:18] What is ‘escape velocity' that Peterson has achieved and how in the end the woke academy is destined for the ash heap of history Resources:   Get Over 66% OFF All of Mike Lindell's Products using code TURLEY: https://www.mypillow.com/turley Build a fortress to withstand any or all storms that might arise in 2023 with Food Supply at Http://GetReadyWithSteve.comand discover why PREPARATION is my New Years Resolution at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSrwEKP2nWI Ep. 1361 Bill Maher Leaves Neil deGrasse Tyson SPEECHLESS on Woke Covid Hysteria!!!

In this 157th 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 antibodies. Why is the public health messaging around immunity focused on antibodies, when there is so much more to immunity? Also, the Department of Defense has finally dropped vaccine mandates for the military, and the federal government has affirmed that we are in the middle of a Covid-19 “health emergency” for the 11th consecutive time. The American Academy of Pediatrics is now suggesting the remedy of drugs (at 12 years old) and surgery (at 13) for children suffering from the “disease of obesity.” We're no longer supposed to use the word field, according to both USC and Michigan's Dept of Health and Human Services. And male pufferfish make elaborate geometric designs in the sand, all for the love of female pufferfish. ***** Our sponsors: MDHearingAid: Use promo code DARKHORSE to receive a significant discount off your order of already inexpensive, high-quality hearing aids, plus receive a free extra charging case. https://www.mdhearingaid.com Moink: Grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb, pastured pork and chicken, and wild caught Alaskan salmon.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/09/2023): 3:05pm- The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a Trump Administration order that banned “bump stocks.”  3:15pm- According to guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics, obese children as young as 12-years-old should consider medications to combat obesity—with surgery sometimes recommended for kids who are 13-years or older.  3:30pm- Why isn't the American Academy of Pediatrics just placing a great emphasis on children exercising instead of encouraging risky medications and even surgery? Are kids being over-medicated?  3:50pm- In a new Wall Street Journal opinion editorial, Jenin Younes and Aaron Kheriaty document “[n]ewly released emails" showing "how officials coerce social-media companies to toe the government line.” They write, “[t]he emails emerged Jan. 6 in the discovery phase of Missouri v. Biden, a free-speech case brought by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana and four private plaintiffs represented by the New Civil Liberties Alliance.” Younes, litigation counsel at the New Civil Liberties Alliance, will be joining the show later this afternoon.  4:05pm- While appearing on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, Rep. Thomas Massie confirmed he will be given a seat on the newly established “Church Committee” to investigate the Federal Government's weaponization of domestic surveillance. In August 1975, Senator Frank Church appeared on Meet the Press and discussed surveillance technology being used by the American government to monitor foreign enemies—but he warned that it could, in the future, be used by the government to infringe upon the rights of American citizens. His warnings proved to be prophetic.  4:15pm- In an opinion editorial for The New York Post, journalist Paul Sperry describes how he learned that Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff demanded Twitter executives ban Sperry for having written unflattering articles about the New York congressman. In a series of RealClearInvestigations pieces in 2020, Sperry documented how Schiff had lied about having prior contact with whistleblowers—something the New York Times has also reported on.   4:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) addressed the pro-longed vote for Speakership, stating: “sometimes Democracy is messy.”  4:45pm- Bad Opinion Editorial: In Scientific America, Tracie Canada writes of Damar Hamlin's on-field cardiac arrest, “[t]he ‘terrifyingly ordinary' nature of football's violence disproportionately affects Black men.” Is the NFL purposefully putting Black men in danger?  5:00pm- Jenin Younes—Litigation Counsel at the New Civil Liberties Alliance & Attorney for the private plaintiffs in Missouri v. Biden—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about her Wall Street Journal opinion editorial, “The White House COVID Censorship Machine.” In the editorial, Younes writes: “Newly released documents show that the White House has played a major role in censoring Americans on social media. Email exchanges between Rob Flaherty, the White House's director of digital media, and social-media executives prove the companies put Covid censorship policies in place in response to relentless, coercive pressure from the White House—not voluntarily. The emails emerged Jan. 6 in the discovery phase of Missouri v. Biden…” Read the article at: https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-house-covid-censorship-machine-social-media-facebook-meta-executive-rob-flaherty-free-speech-google-11673203704?mod=opinion_lead_pos5 5:15pm- Zeoli's TV Review: Matt finally watches Yellowstone…sort of…not really... 5:20pm- Twitter Files: Author and journalist Alex Berenson released a new round of “Twitter Files” documenting Dr. Scott Gottlieb's pressuring of Twitter to “hide posts challenging” the effectiveness of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccinations. Dr. Gottlieb was Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from 2017 to 2019 and is a sitting member of Pfizer's Board of Directors. 5:40pm- Mystery Movie Clip: Henry selects another terrible film.  5:50pm- According to CBS News, “Attorney General Merrick Garland has assigned the U.S. attorney in Chicago to review classified documents found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington.” Isn't this exactly what former President Trump was criticized for doing at Mar-a-Lago?  6:05pm- Two big wins for the 2nd Amendment: An Appeals Court struck down a Trump Administration order that banned “bump stocks” + a Federal Judge has temporarily blocked a New Jersey law preventing law abiding citizens from carrying guns in public libraries, museums, bars, restaurants, and entertainment facilities.  6:10pm- Is ChatGPT about to dramatically alter our lives? Professor of evolutionary biology Dr. Bret Weinstein and psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson have both warned about ChatGPT and the widespread access to high-powered Artificial Intelligence.  6:30pm- Nate Hochman—Staff Writer at National Review—joins the show to discuss his article, “How Gender Ideology Conquered South Dakota.” Hochman writes, “[i]t's the all-too-common story of a powerful progressive business interest pushing a deep-red state leftward.” Read the article at: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/01/how-gender-ideology-conquered-south-dakota/ 6:45pm- Rich uses ChatGPT to write a monologue for his show… should Rich be concerned about being replaced???

Long-time listeners of this show have heard from numerous voices in the post-trans community, all of whom feel that the beliefs and medical practices surrounding transgender identification have been harmful to them. Today's guest, on the other hand, has a different perspective. Zander Keig is a "trans man” with no regrets after 17 years on testosterone. As it turns out, though, Zander and I have a few things in common. We're both mental health professionals who share practical concerns about how certain culturally sanctioned ways of thinking and relating to others impact wellbeing. We've both been accused of bigotry for expressing concerns about whether “transitioning” is right for everyone. And we're both world-bridgers, who respect viewpoint diversity, and see the need to help society collectively navigate sensitive issues more gracefully.In this episode, Zander debunks the myth of the "trans monolith,” arguing there is no consensus in his community about the right way to approach certain issues. We exchange ideas about how certain prevalent mentalities, narratives, and dialectics impact behavioral health and social wellbeing. Zander articulates his pragmatic understanding of how and why emotional health should not be taken for granted, nor can it be catered by the outside world, but must be actively cultivated by the individual. We share our mutual concerns for the welfare of trans-identifying people in general, whether or not they will eventually desist. And we debate important questions for which there are no easy answers, such as: what should the future of healthcare for trans identifying people look like, and how should it be governed? Plus, Zander shares about his own personal history. Zander began his “transition” in his late 30's, after a lifetime of facing discrimination as a gender-nonconforming butch lesbian. Zander had no history of dysphoria earlier in life, yet he felt as though a weight had been lifted the moment he started taking testosterone. What does this tell us about the relationships between sexism, homophobia, social pressures, and transition? Zander also tells us about how counseling would have been helpful during such a disorienting time in his life, and how, despite the horror stories we've all heard, his marriage survived his transition just fine.If I do say so myself, I believe we had an excellent discussion. We each represented a different voice with which many others will find themselves agreeing. I believe an ongoing dialectic between these two different perspectives is necessary in order to help move society forward constructively while navigating unprecedented challenges.Zander Keig is an award-winning licensed clinical social worker, educator, and author who served in the US Coast Guard. Zander serves as an Advisory Board member and Senior Fellow for the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR) and helps develop and deliver FAIR's corporate diversity training, emotional wellness, and interpersonal growth courses. As a trans man and first-generation American of Mexican heritage with subject matter expertise in transgender health, social care, and mental wellness, Zander brings a unique perspective to all aspects of his work. You can find Zander's work at ZanderKeig.net, Zanderology on Locals, or FairForAll.org.A note on pronouns and my choice of guest: My audience comprises many thoughtful people with a wide range of viewpoints on controversial issues in the field of gender. Many open questions are up for debate in the broader community, such as the notion of “true trans;” conceptualization around “dysphoria” and social contagion; and of course, the question of pronouns. Perhaps you recall how I spoke with Jayme in episode 28, and what I stipulated in that show's notes and introductions, or how I spoke with Corinna Cohn in episode 31. Given that I have grown increasingly comfortable over time with sticking to biology-based pronouns despite social pressures to do otherwise, some listeners who favor this approach may find themselves disappointed or frustrated that I reverted to calling Zander, a biological female, “he.” I understand this frustration. The erosion of truth in language has real consequences for the human psyche, and broader cultural implications as well. On principle, I remain committed to speaking truth, and honesty is one of my topmost guiding values. I don't want to be manipulated, coerced, or frightened into denying reality. However, many social situations challenge us to strike a balance between competing values, and selecting one guiding principle above all others may come across as rigid, inflexible, and imbalanced. For instance, those who choose brutal honesty in all situations, without incorporating kindness as a counterbalancing virtue, can often come across as insensitive jerks, and have difficulty making friends with anyone but the thickest-skinned.In the case of my conversation with Zander, it simply would have felt stilted to remain committed to this form of honesty at all costs and insist on calling Zander “she.” Not only do I know that Zander goes by “he” and prefers not to talk about it; not only was I in the earliest stages of building a relationship with a colleague who kindly offered his time to be a guest on my show; but also, frankly, everything about Zander's appearance and presentation, not the least of which include his bald head, enormous beard, and deep voice, intuitively reads as "male.” We are an unprecedented situation that evolutionary biologists I admire (Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying) might call “hyper-novelty.” Never before in human history has there been such a thing as a female whose physiology has been altered by years of exposure to large doses of male hormones. Whenever faced with such a radical and complex challenge, I think it advisable to summon patience, goodwill, and temperance.It seems to create a sort of psychic split when we have to reckon with such a profound inner tension between what we cognitively know to be the reality (“this is a female on testosterone”), and how we intuitively read it (sensing maleness or femaleness via the same unconscious processes that have allowed us to correctly intuit one another's sex without thinking about it 99% of the time since time immemorial). This split is at the heart of many contentious issues within the community of those of us who debate gender issues in any capacity. Radical activists on the pro-trans side of the debate would like the rest of us to feel guilty and repent for committing “literal violence” for having dared refuse to comply with their attempts to deceive us. Meanwhile, activists on the gender critical side see the blatant, glib, remorseless choice to deceive us as Machiavellian, dangerous, and unworthy of our respect or compliance. While I generally align with gender critical views, I sometimes depart ideologically from other GCs' stances by favoring such virtues as nuance, world-bridging, forgiveness, redemption, grace, charity, and cooperation. For example, I was recently name-called, slandered, and blocked by a gender critical feminist who followed me on Twitter when I came to the defense of EJ Rosetta, who I respect for having publicly acknowledged she was wrong about something — a mature and principled move many people go their whole lives without risking. You can see a part of this exchange here. I can no longer view the whole thread, as the other person involved has blocked me.Many GCs and radfems will forever draw hard lines that exclude people like Zander and declare them unworthy of the sort of collegial dialogue we had in this episode. And, as I am unfortunately reminded every month or two on Twitter, some of these folks seemingly have no qualms with escalating to name-calling and character assassination the moment someone they follow (including me) amplifies any message they do not agree with 100%. Frankly, this kind of behavior strikes me as toddler-esque: lacking the maturity it takes to recognize that other people are separate from you, entitled to their own opinions, worthy of respect; not divinely ordained to serve as your personal mouthpieces, nor deserving of righteous rage the moment they fail to fulfill this role you assigned them in your mind. While I dislike overgeneralizing, I can't help but to think these are the same sorts of people who listen to my abortion debate with Robin Atkins (episode 27) and jump straight to making comments that attack the other side (whether pro-choice or pro-life), entirely missing the point of people on different sides of a complex issue attempting to have a respectful, nuanced discussion.So, if today's episode weeds out some of my audience, so be it. I'd love for all my listeners to be on board with my world-bridging mission, but I can't expect that to be the case. Perhaps, like episode 27, this one will serve as a litmus test for those who share my broader values, and not just those who like it when I say things that happen to align with their views on a controversial topic yet have no ethical qualms with flying off the handle at people they disagree with. It's not my intention to lose people, but when it does happen periodically, I trust and accept the process.If you enjoyed this conversation, please rate & review it on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this 155th 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 USDA organic certification, Whole Foods, and why people make inconsistent decisions in their own lives. We talk about new research published in Science Immunology that finds that the degree to which people are mRNA vaccinated against Covid is correlated with a paradoxical immunological response (with regard to IgG4). We discuss new research published in The Lancet, which pretends to be about how women are faring with monkeypox, but is actually largely about men who are pretending to be women; we also review The Lancet's final op-ed of 2022, which bemoans a “breakdown of trust in the state and in scientists.” Finally, we discuss how glass frogs become transparent: by sequestering blood in their livers. ***** Support the sponsors of this show: Thesis: personalized nootropics for motivation, creativity, confidence and more.

In this 154th 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 the new Newspeak, as promoted by Stanford and its list of very bad words. While recognizing that, in a few rare cases, they have a point, overall this list and its enforcers are batshit crazy. And what it leads to is worse: we discuss title IX compliance officers, the dude who thinks it's fine to hang out in women's spas and other spaces, and the savage woman-hating multiple murderer who is likely to end up in a women's prison.

In this 153rd 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 the committee newly empaneled by Florida governor Ron DeSantis to explore Covid policy and treatment, in which Bret is a part. It has been roundly mocked in the media, who cite a truly remarkable piece of non-research that contains no new data, no references, and methods and results that cannot be assessed. We discuss Science magazine's editorial that deifies Fauci, Nature magazine's editorial claiming that science is hard and we'll never know what happened during Covid, and the White House's Summit on Equity and Excellence in STEMM, which threatens to create Harrison Bergeron University. Finally: do female snakes experience sexual pleasure?

In this 152nd 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 the free exchange of ideas, in light of Matt Taibbi's revelations about how the story of Hunter Biden's laptop was censored inside Twitter, and Kanye West going explicitly antisemitic on InfoWars. Why should Kanye be heard, given that what he is saying is awful? We also discuss chemist Anna Krylov's newest piece, who has seen first-hand what happens when ideas are censored and events disappeared. The National Science Foundation awards a large amount of money to an organization called Hacks/Hackers, who use that money to “discover” that Bret is a conservative who spreads vaccine misinformation. Meanwhile, Pfizer mocks people who try to figure things out for themselves, and receives a Reuters Pharma Award. That is not a typo. ***** Our sponsors: Ned: is a CBD company that uses USDA certified organic full spectrum hemp oil, and creates specialty blends to help with stress and sleep.

Sam and Emma host Dale Kretz, visiting assistant professor of history at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to discuss his recent book Administering Freedom: The State of Emancipation after the Freedmen's Bureau. First, Sam and Emma dive into updates on the US' sanctions on Venezuela, Elon Musk's targeting of left voices on Twitter, the collapse of Manchin's permitting side deal, and Georgia's early voting boom, before diving a little deeper into the blooming GOP Presidential race, with Asa Hutchinson addressing some of Trump's recent associates. Dale Kretz then joins as he dives right into contextualizing the role of federal government in the leadup to the US Civil War, with no income tax or major presence before beginning to change as the South split from the country, pushing the North to set up its “Yankee Leviathan” of state-sponsored expansion Westward alongside mass investments into the mobilization of resources, the aggrandizement of its federal authority, and the set up of a veteran-focused welfare state. Professor Kretz then shifts focus to the visions of emancipation that were present in the US leading up to Lincoln's proclamation, beginning with the more conservative theories grounded in colonization and imperialism, and the radical visions of abolitionists that focused on the bolstering of civil rights and redistribution of millions of acres of land to those that actually worked it, before diving into the actual program that attempted to bring about reconstruction: the Freedmen's Bureau. This bureau, as Kretz explores, was essentially set up (as much American bureaucracy is) to undermine its own aims, with focuses on individual cases, means testing, and incredibly minimal funding ensuring the processes would move slowly and help reconstruct the lives of only a handful of the 4 million folks it was created for. Wrapping up, Kretz, Emma, and Sam explore how the populist movements that followed this era fell to the exact enemy that reconstruction failed to address (institutionalized and cultural racism), a problem that still presents itself to working-class solidarity today, and why a progressive left critique of bureaucracy must both emphasize the empowerment of its people as citizens, including serving them en masse and recognizing the stratification of civil rights. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss the ultimate grift of buying a silly little gift for a friend, before parsing a little further through Republican primary possibilities, diving into Donald's untouchable nature, the fallout of his dinner with Kanye and Nick Fuentes, and Ben Shapiro's lackluster response to such severe antisemitism. They also tackle Sam Harris' departure from Twitter, Brett Weinstein's acknowledgment of how well-practiced he is at apologizing for his blatantly false talking points, and Elon Musk's continued petty reign over the Bird App, plus, your calls and IMs!   Check out Dale's book here: https://uncpress.org/book/9781469671024/administering-freedom/ Become a member at JoinTheMajorityReport.com: https://fans.fm/majority/join Subscribe to the ESVN YouTube channel here (NEW EPISODE STREAMING THERE TODAY): https://www.youtube.com/esvnshow Subscribe to the AMQuickie newsletter here: https://am-quickie.ghost.io/ Join the Majority Report Discord! http://majoritydiscord.com/ Get all your MR merch at our store: https://shop.majorityreportradio.com/ Get the free Majority Report App!: http://majority.fm/app Check out today's sponsors: Sunset Lake CBD:  This Black Friday Sunset Lake CBD & the Majority Report are teaming up to turn America's most consumerist holiday into a fundraising opportunity for a great organization. Visit https://sunsetlakecbd.com/, starting November 21st.

In this 151st 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 the difference between people who crashed and burned in the last few years, and those who remain standing. What was your position on SARS-CoV2 origins, vaccines, early treatment, masks, when those topics first came to your consciousness? Have your positions moved? Has your model of the world become better over time, or has it remained static? Static models of the world are doomed to failure, even when held by those with some heterodox beliefs. Also: what does wordle have to do with any of this? And is Elon Musk really opening the gates of hell?
