Will AI replace God, steal your job, and change your future?

In dieser Episode teile ich meine Gedanken inwiefern kulturelle Glaubenssätze buchstäblich falsch, aber metaphorisch wahr sind – und warum sie gerade deswegen einen großen Einfluss in Organisationen haben. Mit faszinierenden Beispielen wie guatemaltekischen Bauern, die den Mondzyklus für die Ernte nutzen, den Seenomaden aus Thailand mit ihrer hohen Überlebensrate bei Tsunamis oder überraschenden Erkenntnissen der Astrologie versuche ich die Idee nachvollziehbarer zu machen.

Jim talks with Bret Weinstein in the second of four episodes featuring heterodox political thinkers on the 2024 presidential election. They discuss Bret's historical voting principles & why they don't apply this time, election interference, what actually happened with Biden's failed debate, current polling & apparent desperation of the Democrats, the long trajectory of feminism & its relationship to the current Democratic party, defections by men, a massive political realignment, hating both teams, voting against the status quo regime, the demographic shift in party alignment, a bias in courage towards religious worldviews, removal from the World Health Organization, understanding the failure of government institutions in Covid, Ukraine aid as a looting mechanism, global warming & solar forcing, the Carrington effect & the migration of Earth's magnetic poles, Trump's narcissism & its effects on decision-making, defeating the duopoly, deliberating until the last minute, and much more. Episode Transcript Bret Weinstein has spent two decades advancing the field of evolutionary biology, earning his PhD at the University of Michigan, before teaching at The Evergreen State College for 14 years. He is currently working to uncover the evolutionary meaning of large-scale patterns in human history, and seeking a game-theoretically stable path forward for humanity, in service of which he has just co-organized the Rescue the Republic rally in Washington, DC. Bret has spoken at venues including the U.S. Congress, the International Covid Summit, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and the Hannah Arendt Center.

“Türkiye ben doğduğumdan beri yüksek enflasyonla yaşamaya alışmış, yüksek enflasyonu kanıksamış bir toplum olarak biz enflasyonist ortamdan vazgeçmek istemeyen bir alkolik bir bağımlı gibiyiz. Biz enflasyona bağımlı durumdayız ve bir enflasyon olmadığı zaman bizim keyfimiz kaçıyor.”“Biz yüksek enflasyonla yaşamaya bağımlı hale gelmiş bir toplumuz ve dolayısıyla da bu bizim canımızı acıttığı zaman herkesin üstüne, diğerlerinin canını acıtarak basma kültürü üzerinden sorunlara çözüm bulmaya çalışıyoruz.”Boykot, kendisi böyle çok etkili olan bir şey değil ama edebiyatı, boykot edebiyatı inanılmaz etkili olan bir şey. İnsanların siyasi tercihlerini veya siyasi hissiyatını iyi gıdıkladığı için boykot edebiyatı inanılmaz tutan bir şey. İnsanlar ciddi bir şekilde boykot üzerinden kendilerine politik menfaat ve güç devşirebiliyorlar.”“İnsanların gerçekten enflasyondan kurtulmak mı istediği yoksa bu enflasyon hiyerarşisinde musluğa olan uzaklığını mı değiştirmek istediği üzerinde ben tereddütlüyüm. O para musluğuna sanki biraz yakın olsa insanlar şikayet etmeyi bırakacak havası hissediyorum. Yoksa enflasyonun genel olarak bir rahatsızlık değil gündeme gelen.”“Enflasyonun üreten merci her zaman kendi sorumluluklarını başkalarına yüklemeyi çok sever. Yani et fiyatları yükseliyorsa bu kasapların suçudur, meyve fiyatları yükseliyorsa bu çiftçinin veya aracı veya kabzimal, onun suçudur. Oraya hedef göstermeyi çok sever ve market denetlemelerine falan gider esas suçluyu gizlemek için…”“Reel fiyatlarda olan değişimler ekonomideki normal arz, talep arasındaki mesajlaşmayı sağladığı için çok sağlıklı bir şeydir. Fiyatların sabit kalması diye bir şey söz konusu değildir.”“Reel fiyatlardaki değişim ekonominin sağlığıyla alakalı bir göstergedir. Ama nominal fiyatlardaki değişim —yani para miktarından kaynaklanan fiyatlardaki artış— tamamen ekonominin sağlıksız bir şişmeye veya bahsettiğim o sağlıklı mesajların artık ekonomide gönderilemez hale gelmesine yol açan bir hastalık, bir bağımlılık…”“Federal Reserve para bastığında o paranın bir kısmı İstanbul'daki konut fiyatlarında etkiliyor.”“Bir şeyin fiyatını dolara, liraya çeviremiyorsanız, bir şeyin fiyatını başka türlü para dışı şeylerle ödüyorsanız aslında o size daha pahalıya geliyor.”“Enflasyonla mücadele alkolle mücadele gibidir.

Today's guest is very meaningful to me and probably requires no introduction. Dr. Heather Heying is the reason I know about detransitioners and am doing half the things I'm doing. An evolutionary biologist and animal behaviorist, world traveler, podcast co-host, writer, mentor to many, mother of two, agreeable contrarian, and all-around interesting person, Dr. Heying can easily be considered one of the greatest thinkers of our time.It was tough to narrow down what to focus on in a conversation with someone so influential, so I selected a few of the recurring themes that form the foundational principles for much of her work. We discuss the concepts of culture and consciousness, and how they shape our understandings of progress and tradition, liberalism and conservatism. We delve into the metaphorical idea of Chesterton's fence, which represents the importance of understanding the purpose and value of something before discarding it. And we examine several “Chesterton's fences” in modern life that have been impacted by what Heather often calls “hyper-novelty.” What do we lose when we stop sitting around a campfire together, telling stories and making music?Heather Heying is an evolutionary biologist who earned her PhD in Biology from the University of Michigan, has been a visiting Fellow at Princeton University, and was a tenured professor at The Evergreen State College. She has been invited to speak about science, higher ed, the evolution of sex and consciousness, and the culture wars, in venues as varied as the U.S. Department of Justice, the Krishnamurti Institute, Joe Rogan, and Oxford University. Her first book, Antipode, is based on her life in Madagascar while studying the sex lives of poison frogs. Her second book, co-authored with husband Bret Weinstein, is A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life. A New York Times best-seller, the book provides an evolutionary toolkit for living a good and honorable life as a modern ape. She also writes Natural Selections on Substack, the Field Notes column for County Highway, and co-hosts with Bret a popular weekly livestream on the DarkHorse podcast.Natural Selections blogDarkHorse PodcastX @HeatherEHeyingHeather's books are available in my bookshop or via the embedded Amazon affiliate links.

Since then, he's worked on the philosophical underpinnings for new business metrics, design methods, and political movements. The central idea is to make people's sources of meaning explicit, so that how meaningful or meaningless things are can be rigorously accounted for. His previous career was in HCI and programming language design. Ellie Hain is an artist, researcher, and cultural strategist working on new imaginaries and ideologies for the post-industrial age.

This week our guests are evolutionary biologists, Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, who many of you might recognize from their frequent appearances on the Joe Rogan Podcast, or from their very own show, the Darkhorse Podcast, where they explore current affairs through an evolutionary lens. They've recently released a brand new book, A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life, where they combine their decades of expertise into a comprehensive overview of the many lessons evolution can teach us, including concepts like the precautionary principle, Sucker's Folly, Chesterton's Fence, and more. This was a wonderfully expansive conversation exploring many of the ways in which technology and capitalism is being driven by our ancient genetic wiring. This includes exploring the impacts of social media, of technological infrastructure, of capitalism and its incentives, the biological influences of complacency due to technological comfort, and far much more than I can even begin to summarize here. ** Host: Steven Parton - LinkedIn / Twitter Music by: Amine el Filali

Elle Russ chats with Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein - evolutionary biologists who have been invited to address the US Congress, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Education, and have spoken before audiences across the globe. They cohost the Dark Horse Podcast and are authors of a fascinating new book A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life. Heying and Weinstein argue that the problem is clear: our world has become so hypernovel that the pace of change has outstripped our ability to keep up. Humans are an evolutionary phenomenon, and while we are designed to adapt to change, it took hundreds of millions of years for humans to become who we are today. We may live in a modern world, but our brains, bodies, and social systems are ancient. They are now perpetually out of sync with the modern world, and it's making us sick—physically, psychologically, socially, and environmentally. If we don't figure out how to grapple with the problem of accelerating novelty, humanity will perish, a victim of its own success. In the book, they distill more than 20 years of research and first-hand accounts from the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth to offer a robust scientific framework for understanding ourselves– both as individuals and in relationships with others – and why the novelty of the modern era is killing us.

One day, Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying were biology professors at Evergreen State College. The next, they were "campus villains" who dared to speak out when the school told white people to take a “day of absence.” Since then, they have become founding members of the “Intellectual Dark Web” and continued their fight for truth in a world gone woke. But with the world changing faster every day, and not necessarily in a good way, they were hit by a realization: Science and evolutionary biology haven't changed very much. Humans have. Bret and Heather join Glenn to break down where these changes are leading us, as they explore in-depth in their new book, “A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life.” From climate change and capitalism to Afghanistan, our “apparently senile Commander-in-Chief,” and the evolution of sex (among flowers), Bret and Heather make the case that the key to escaping the chaos is right in front of us, if we choose to listen.

Husband and wife evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein are the authors of the new book A Hunter Gatherer's Guide To the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life. Former professors at Washington's Evergreen State College, their involvement in a 2017 controversy that became a touchstone “campus culture war” event led them to become major figures in the so-called “heterodox” intellectual space. They now cohost livestreams of Bret's popular Dark Horse Podcast, where they talk about social, political, scientific (and sometimes medical) issues through an evolutionary lens. In this conversation, Bret and Heather talk with Meghan about their new book, which is premised on the idea that society has become “hypernovel,” meaning that the rate of change is so rapid that “our brains, bodies, and social systems are perpetually out sync.” They define what they mean by the “WEIRD" world (Western, Educated, Industrialized, (relatively) Rich, and Democrat) and explain why human mating and reproductive strategies— and the community structures that are designed to support them — evolved the way they did. They also untangle mysteries such as why appendicitis is almost unknown in the non-industrialized world, why hunter-gatherer civilizations didn't need orthodonture, and why monogamy is still the best bet for the survival of the human species, despite some rumors to the contrary. Finally, they discuss recent controversial statements they've made about the COVID-19 vaccine and the drug Ivermectin. Guest Bios: Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein are evolutionary biologists who have been invited to address the US Congress, the Department of Justice and the Department of Education, and have spoken before audiences across the globe.

Marx wrote in the Poverty of Philosophy, in Chapter II Part 1 The Method, Fourth Observation that: “Direct slavery is just as much the pivot of bourgeois industry as machinery, credits, etc. Without slavery you have no cotton; without cotton you have no modern industry..." Moving this argument beyond Marx, Africana scholars/activists, thinkers, cultural workers such as, but not limited to, C. L. R. James; W. E. B. Du Bois, Cedric Robinson, Eric Williams, Amiri Baraka deepens the overture by Marx. According to J. Phillip Thompson in his article titled, Capitalism, Democracy, and Du Bois's Two Proletariats, it is suggested that W. E. B. Du Bois arguments in Marxism and the Negro Problem and Black Reconstruction supports the notion that capitalism created two proletariats. Writing in Marxism and the Negro Problem, Du Bois argues that: [the] black proletariat is not part of the white proletariat. . . while Negro labor in America suffers because of the fundamental inequities of the whole capitalist system, the lowest and most fatal degree of its suffering comes not from the capitalists but from fellow white laborers..." Moreover, capitalism (beginning with slavery) offered the white worker, a second/distinct proletariat role; more specifically a policing role in relation to the first proletariat. Du Bois writes in Black Reconstruction that: “The system of slavery demanded a special police force and such a force was made possible and unusually effective by the presence of the poor whites…” Adding more perspective, Eric Williams writing in Slavery and Capitalism, argued that capitalism was an economic modality that replaced the practice of chattel slavery once European elites accumulated the vast surplus capital to firmly fuel the industrial revolution. Adding more perspective, Eric Williams writing in Slavery and Capitalism, argued that capitalism was an economic modality that replaced the practice of chattel slavery once European elites accumulated the vast surplus capital to firmly fuel the industrial revolution. Contemplating the conditions within which African descendant folk where living during the 1960s, Sydney Wilhelm in, Who Needs the Negro? argues that the conditions which produced the rebellions were caught in the complex relationship of internal colonial conditions that were directly related to the nature of work, the historic role and dependency of black labor, and the shift in the needs of a more technologically advanced global economy. In the tradition of those mentioned above, today we ask: Is it important (or time) be critical of labor?...What is the use of labor in this moment, as we live in a world of algorithms and move toward an artificial intelligent future? What does "Labor" mean in a settler colonial society...? It is within this context that Africa World Now Project's own, Mwiza Munthali caught up with Bill Fletcher. Bill Fletcher, Jr., co-founder of the Center for Labor Renewal, is a syndicated columnist and long-time labor activist. He has served as President of TransAfrica Forum and was formerly the Education Director and later Assistant to the President of the AFL-CIO. He is the author and co-author of a number of books which include: The Indispensable Ally: Black Workers and the Formation of the Congress of Industrial Relations, 1934-1941; They are Bankrupting US!; Solidarity Divided: The Crisis in Organized Labor and a New Path toward Social Justice; Claim No Easy Victories: The legacy of Amilcar Cabral. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the native, indigenous, African, and Afro-descended communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana; and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all people.
