Podcast appearances and mentions of hunter gatherer

Today we discuss Epstein, Trump, MAGA, and how we know what we think we know. The actual economy exists, as does the attention economy; now Bret introduces a new term: the leverage economy. This implies that there is a commodity that we cannot see, which can be used to coerce players to act in certain ways. We see evidence of this in academia, in the news, and in politics. Discussion includes data mining, conspiracy, and whether Trump will pick up neocons as he loses some of his base.*****Our sponsors:Everyday Dose: Coffee plus collagen, mushrooms & nootropics – delicious!

Today we discuss YouTube, flash floods, science, and Epstein. First: a head injury explains our late start, but all is fine. Then: four years after being demonetized by YouTube, both of our channels have been remonetized. Why were we demonetized in the first place, and what did we refuse to do to get back in the good graces of YouTube? Also: flash floods are often tragic, but does it inherently follow that they are due to anthropogenic climate change? Similarly, does not believing that mRNA shots will work against Covid mean that you don't believe in Covid? Finally: two competing hypotheses for what is going on with the federal government's newest treatment of Epstein: are they covering for a peace deal in the Middle East, or are they being strong-armed by organized crime? *****Our sponsors:Sundries Farm: Extraordinary hand grown and harvested garlic from a family farm on the volcanic soils of Idaho.

Today we discuss sex and vaccines, reality and renegades. First: men can no longer compete in women's sports—from Trump's Executive Order, to the NCAA's response, to William “Lia” Thomas having his records rescinded at Penn, reality is prevailing. Other evidence includes the UK Supreme Court declaring that “man” and “woman” refer to biological reality; and the U.S. Supreme Court writing an opinion that forcing LGBTQ+ books on children in public elementary schools is unconstitutional. Men cannot magically turn into women, nor boys into girls, no matter what they believe or are told. Then: from the ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) to Vinay Prasad's latest presentation at the FDA: the federal government is being populated by a combination of true renegades and middle ground scramblers who are dressed like renegades. A good toolkit for understanding how to make sense of the claims being made is necessary, and we all should be rooting for the renegades to win.*****Our sponsors:CrowdHealth: Pay for healthcare with crowdfunding instead of insurance.

Today we discuss MAHA, wearables, health, and Israel. RFK Jr. announced that he hopes that in four years, all Americans will be wearing health tracking devices. What are the implications for individual health? Is hypothesis-driven science being undermined? Will equity be used as a way to force this on people? What should we think of the fact that Casey Means, the nominee to Surgeon General, has a company that incorporates wearables? What does Yuval Noah Harari have to tell us? Does having your data uploaded to the cloud seem like a good idea? There seem to be two very different models of how to MAHA: 1) hone your intuition, trust your senses, and try to create an environment with as little exposure to hyper-novelty as possible; or 2) tech your way out of the problem, and trans-humanize your way to success. Also: Bret introduces Warner the wearables werewolf. Breaking news: Israel and the U.S. appear to have brokered a deal that includes several other countries in the Middle East, and leaves open the possibility of a two-state solution.*****Our sponsors:Brain.fm: intense music that boosts productivity.

Today we discuss war, regime change, cyber-attacks, libertarianism, and driving. In what ways are Israel's attack on Iran reminiscent of events from the past? Are the neo-cons back, or did they never go away? It would seem that we are being frog-marched to war. Speaking of destabilization: North America's largest publicly traded wholesale distributor of natural foods (UNFI) was hacked, leaving market shelves empty at tens of thousands of stores. In better news: Bret returned from FreedomFest, and provides a report, and discusses his model for Libertarianism 2.0. And: Matthew Crawford on why we drive. Which is better: horses or cars? We circle back to a discussion of efficiencies, coercion, and freedom.*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 20% off your first order.Caraway: Non-toxic, beautiful, light ceramic cookware.

Today we discuss hummingbirds, baby making, longevity hacking, and Jeffrey Epstein, before finishing up with a short discussion of the riots in LA. A new company is promising future parents that they will be able to create long-lived babies—what could go wrong? Also, how likely are they to be able to make good on their promises? We discuss, as always, with an evolutionary lens. Also: what a great business model! And: it is easier to fix something that is broken than it is to improve something that works. Then: Jeffrey Epstein apparently did kill himself after all. Or did he?*****Our sponsors:Manukora: the most flavorful, delicious, and nutritious honey you'll ever have.

Many topics today! First: FDA tentatively approves Moderna's new mRNA shot for Covid. What? And also why? Bret has six main points, which include discussion of mucosal immunity, IgG4, auto-immunity, long-term consequences, statistical tricks, and homeopathy. Then: how do we know what is true, and how can we avoid jumping to conclusions when triggered by language or circumstances that seem familiar and frustrating?...As explored through the story of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who has a Disorder of Sexual Development, won Olympic gold for beating women, but is definitely male. Finally: brief discussions of Glenn Greenwald, and Richard Dawkins. No, Dawkins, religion is not a mental infection.*****Our sponsors:CrowdHealth: Pay for healthcare with crowdfunding instead of insurance. It's way better.

We begin with the HHS announcement that Covid shots will no longer be recommended to healthy children and pregnant women. What does healthy mean? And what are the conditions that provide release from liability for vaccine makers? Then, a discussion of kinds of immunity, and how vaccines are best delivered depending on how disease is transmitted. We compare what was claimed about the shots (they stop transmission!), and what Pfizer later admitted (that they did not know if the shots stopped transmission—but they had to move at the “speed of science”!). Also, a discussion of how to kill your pathogens by crossing ecological borders…and how to get rid of a botfly with a steak, or with ivermectin. Then: why are young male capuchin monkeys abducting baby howler monkeys on an island off the coast of Panama? Finally: a discussion of transhumanism, our future, our embodied selves, how we live on, what we owe our children, what our beloved dead would make of now, and how we, and the LLMs, could know.*****Our sponsors:Brain.fm: intense music that boosts productivity.

What happens when we commodify nature? The natural world is not doing well, and is not put here to do with as we want. How can we learn to appreciate nature, and environment, without jumping to conclusions about what is happening, or picking sides in an ideological battle that has nothing to do with actual wild nature? Also: how are DOGE cuts affecting scientists? Four people profiled in Science magazine reveal that some good science is being hit with chaos and uncertainty—but also that a lot of “science” funding that has been cut was suspect, at best.*****Our sponsors:Manukora: the most flavorful, delicious, and nutritious honey you'll ever have.

This week's show is with Michael Perez. Michael didn't just learn the standard toolkits – he hit their limits early on (back in the 90s!) and dedicated years to figuring out *what really works* at the deepest levels of the human mind, modeling the true masters like Erickson beyond the textbook explanations. When the neuroscience revolution hit, he wasn't just an observer; he was actively integrating groundbreaking discoveries about the brain, the unconscious, and trance states into a *unified field theory* of change while mainstream psychology was still catching up. His exploration wasn't just academic; studies in Aikido, Zen, anthropology, and primatology revealed the power of primal states modern life forces us to forget. Then, facing a potentially career-ending physical crisis that left him crippled and in constant pain, he didn't just cope – he *innovated*. Using his unique synthesis of neuroscience and hypnosis, he developed new techniques *on himself* to overcome the pain and retrain his body, proving the power of the mind-body connection in the most demanding way possible. This crucible forged the core of the "Neuron Code." Decades of international training, coaching C-suite leaders, pioneering remote work, and deep cultural immersion haven't just given him experience; they've given him unparalleled insight into *how humans actually operate* beneath the surface. In this conversation, Lian and Michael explore the enduring presence of three primal archetypes: the Leader, the Hunter-Gatherer and the Shaman, and how these ancient roles continue to shape our lives in ways that are often hidden but deeply felt. They reflect on instinct as a form of intelligence, one that lives in the body and knows what the mind often forgets. The leader carries vision across time. The gatherer sinks into rhythm and flow. The shaman enters altered states and returns with truth carried in symbol and story. Rooted in humour, myth and embodied wisdom, this episode is a remembering. A call to reawaken what is already within you. The roles may be ancient, but they are still alive, waiting to be claimed. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How the leader lives in all of us: The one who remembers, who looks ahead, who can speak vision into being. The hunter-gatherer's trance: How flow arises when instinct and movement become one, allowing us to work not harder, but deeper, and in flow. Which is not only more effective but more fulfilling. The role of the shaman: The one who walks beyond the veil, gathering meaning from the spaces between, and returning with something true Resources and stuff spoken about: Michael's Website Join UNIO, the Academy of Sacred Union.

Will AI replace God, steal your job, and change your future? Amjad Masad, Bret Weinstein, and Daniel Priestley debate the terrifying warning signs, and why you need to understand them now.  Amjad Masad is the founder and CEO of Replit, the world's leading online programming environment and community. Daniel Priestley is a serial entrepreneur and advises fast-growing companies on innovation, marketing, and the future of work in the age of AI. Bret Weinstein is an evolutionary biologist, expert in complex systems and host of the DarkHorse Podcast. In this debate, they explain:  Why AI threatens 50% of the global workforce. How AI agents are already replacing millions of jobs and how to use them to your advantage. How AI will disrupt creative industries and hijack human consciousness. The critical skills that will matter most in the AI-powered future. What parents must teach their kids now to survive the AI age.

Is MAHA under threat? If so, what is the nature of the threat? Following the nomination of Casey Means for Surgeon General, MAHA on-line has polarized: is she a Manchurian candidate, or is she what she appears? If she is what she appears, is her lack of focus on vaccine safety cause for concern? What is the value of experience, clinical and otherwise, in developing wisdom? How can MAHA, a movement forged in fire, maintain strength and rigor as the conditions change?*****Our sponsors:CrowdHealth: Pay for healthcare with crowdfunding instead of insurance.

What's in our medicines? There are active ingredients, and there are excipients, which is everything else. From colorants to emulsifiers to adjuvants, excipients hide many horrors, and it's not even possible to know which ones are in your meds (or foods). Dairy that has been fortified with vitamins A & D also has seed oils and emulsifiers, but those things aren't on the label. The government database that should have all the information is full of errors. Polysorbate 80, a common emulsifier in food and drugs, is so complex that it hasn't been fully characterized, and is known to be cytotoxic generally, including being hemolytic—it breaks apart red blood cells. Meanwhile, Moderna's Covid “vax” has even more contaminants than previously recognized.*****Our sponsors:Masa Chips: Delicious chips made with corn, salt, and beef tallow—nothing else—in loads of great flavors.

The middle ground scramble continues. Elites redefine their positions as if they had it right all along, and explain why they definitely need to be in charge of more stuff. We have been waiting for the reckoning; instead we are getting the anti-reckoning. Herein: how science isn't done, why the scientific method is for everyone, and evidence that most who consider themselves elite don't understand science. Also: the UK is moving forward with plans to dim the sun, because apparently we learned nothing from Covid, and informed consent is optional.*****Our sponsors:VanMan: Tallow and honey balm, deodorant, and many other amazing animal based personal care products.Go to http://www.vanmanscompany.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse10 for 10% off your first order.Pique's Nandaka: delicious mushroom, tea, and chocolate drink that provides all day energy.

This week in women: the UK Supreme Court declares that transwomen are not women, and women are lauded for putting on matching jumpsuits and being launched into space for a minute. In Britain, rapists can no longer pretend to be women; in the United States, we are asked to celebrate one of the oldest plays in the book—attractive woman attaches herself to wealthy man and attains power—and pretend that it represents female empowerment, while conveniently forgetting actually skilled women who have come before. Also: a hostage situation in Podcastistan: in which we explore the strange about-face of some prominent free speech warriors. Finally: the amazing institution that is Ralston College, whose themes are truth, freedom of inquiry, beauty, and fellowship.*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 10% off your first order.ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.

Most people fantasize about escaping the modern world—this woman actually did it.In this week's episode, host Kim Anderson sits down with Miriam Lancewood, international bestselling author and wilderness explorer, whose life story reads like a modern-day survival epic. Miriam and her husband Peter walked into the wilds of New Zealand in 2010 with no technology, no back-up plan, and a big question: What happens to mind and body when you live far away from civilization? That one question shaped their next seven years—and changed their lives forever.You'll hear about the life skills it takes to truly live off the land, what it means to hunt your own food after growing up vegetarian, and why boredom might be one of the greatest teachers of all. Miriam also shares the story of their nomadic lifestyle across Europe, settling in the Bulgarian mountains, and the deep clarity that only nature can provide.In this episode, you'll learn:What it really takes to survive in the wilderness without modern tools or techThe unexpected truths about hunting, solitude, and slowing way downWhy living with nature transforms your body, mind, and relationshipIf you've ever dreamed of escaping the chaos and returning to something more primal, this episode is for you.

Tariffs, Trump, AI, nature, and science. Are the tariffs insane, or brilliant? Will Trump actually bring manufacturing back to the U.S.? How are the “reciprocal tariffs” calculated, what game is everyone playing, and how long will it take to know who wins? Then: AI marches us further into the Cartesian Crisis; can we restore our humanity? Scientific American claims that too much nature is bad for you (it's not), and finally, some words from County Highway, and why we should consider being quiet and listening to Aslan.*****Our sponsors:CrowdHealth: Pay for healthcare with crowdfunding instead of insurance.

In this week's episode, we discuss ridiculous op-eds and letters to the editor in Nature this week, and the concept of fairness. First: gender equity for female scientists in war zones, and for women in mining. Are these laudable goals? Also: is division of labor between the sexes inherently objectionable? How does the concept of homeostasis relate to a body being given pharmaceutical interventions, a society being given equity interventions, or a government being given bureaucratic interventions? Then: level playing fields are the sine qua non of the West – they work in science, markets, politics, everything. Internet algorithms in their current state are, in comparison, anti-Western. Using the analogy of a card game, we discuss luck.*****Our sponsors:ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.

In this week's episode, we discuss 23andMe – what does its impending bankruptcy mean for data security, and why did people think their genetic data were secure before the company went into bankruptcy? As we protect existing rights laid out in the Constitution, we also need to innovate new protections in a world with new threats and possibilities. Going back to what was will not be sufficient. Then: Bobby Kennedy Jr. and anti-Semitism; and Columbia University's response to the Trump administration as it tries to hang on to $400 million dollars in annual federal funding.

That friendly vibe you catch off of his songs is authentic. He's excited about life and he wants you to know it through each song because there's a wonderful little story in each one.

In this week's episode, we discuss the JFK assassination, deportations, DOGE, Tesla, anarchists, flu, measles, vaccines, and crunchy Moms. What do we make of the 80,000 pages of JFK files that were released yesterday? Are immigrants who are in the U.S. legally protected by the Constitution? What are they allowed to say, or think? Does anger at Elon Musk and DOGE explain the left going after Teslas? Or maybe it's not the left at all, but anarchists. What's up with flu this year, and should you get a flu shot? How about a measles vaccine? Did the measles vaccine contribute to the drop in measles deaths in the U.S.? And why are mothers who are concerned for the health and well-being of their children rejecting the advice of experts?*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 10% off your first order.Helix: Excellent, sleep-enhancing, American-made mattresses.

Dr Anna Marie Prentiss joins Host Chris Lynn to discuss the origins of institutionalised inequality. Anna is an archaeologist specializing in the ancient history of the Great Plains, Pacific Northwest, and Arctic regions of North America. She has a methodological specialty in lithic technology and theoretical interests in the archaeology of villages and towns, social inequality, hunter-gatherer mobility and technological organization, and the cultural evolutionary process. She is associate editor of the scholarly journal, Current Anthropology. Dr. Prentiss is actively engaged in a long term study of the evolution of complex hunter-gatherer-fisher societies on the interior of British Columbia. The current focus of this research is a multi-year excavation at the Bridge River archaeological site, located near the town of Lillooet, British Columbia. With funding from the National Science Foundation, Dr. Prentiss, along with her students and colleagues conducted major excavations during 2008 and 2009 to examine socio-economic and political changes that occurred during the occupation span of the village. Recent research (2012-2023) at Bridge River has been funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation. ------------------------------ Find the paper discussed in this episode: Prentiss, A.

In this week's episode, we discuss wheat and gluten; MAGA, Trump, Elon, and Massie; and elephants. First: the end to the first round of Bret's European wheat experiment: what does it mean that he can eat European wheat, but not American wheat? Then: does Trump misunderstand the coalition that brought him to the presidency a second time? Will going after Thomas Massie be a strong move, or a bad move? Does Elon have too much power, and is he misusing it? How does masculinity manifest in this administration? Finally: elephants and their love of showers.*****Our sponsors:CrowdHealth: Pay for healthcare with crowdfunding instead of insurance. It's way better.

Jenny Powers is an accomplished writer, scientist, and athlete.     She earned her Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from the University of Colorado, Denver; her journey as a collegiate basketball player taught her to push physical boundaries even as she continually expanded her intellectual horizons.    She is deeply inspired by the exploration of human nature and the study of our ancestors; her role in researching and co-authoring On the Origin of Being marks the culmination of this passion to date.    Jenny balances her professional endeavours with her roles as a wife and mother in Colorado. “The misalignment between our genetic design and modern lifestyle reduces our wellbeing: we investigate human evolution and how to realign."Jenny Powers, PhD   Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show:  ·      The modern world has changed rapidly, but our bodies haven't. ·      Hunter-gatherer diets were based on whole foods and seasonal availability. ·      Ultra-processed foods can lead to health issues due to nutrient stripping. ·      Mindfulness in eating can help reconnect with our body's needs. ·      Education about nutrition is crucial for making better choices. ·      Understanding cravings can help differentiate between needs and wants. ·      Sleep is essential for hormonal regulation and overall health. ·      Circadian rhythms influence many bodily functions beyond sleep. ·      Our ancestors had a natural rhythm that modern life disrupts. ·      Finding balance in nutrition allows for enjoyment without guilt. Sleep quality is influenced by our circadian rhythms and environmental cues.   (Website) Home - On the Origin of Being (Instagram) On the Origin of Being Book (@ontheoriginofbeing) • Instagram photos and videos (Facebook) www.facebook.com/jpowersorigins    (Facebook) www.facebook.com/ontheoriginofbeing/ (LinkedIn) Jenny Powers (Terry) - Researcher and Author - The Aurignacian LLC | LinkedIn  

In this week's episode, we discuss travel, Spain, ham, and MAHA. How do we travel, how has it changed over time, and what is the point? From the Alhambra to street altercations, what can we learn from the places that we go, and how we interact with them? Then: one cannot bring iberico ham into the United States from Spain, the USDA says, “because there are special restrictions.” We suspect the ham lobby. Also: past interactions with border control, over vanilla, and dart-poison frogs. And: MAHA should rally around RFK Jr., rather than splintering over headlines and tweets. He needs our support now as much as ever.*****Our sponsors:ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.

"The Evolution Gap" is a term that describes how our world is quickly outgrowing our own biology, leaving us sick and full of disease. Hunter gatherer tribes have virtually ZERO chronic diseases, yet in North America, 50% of children will have at least one chronic disease by age 18.  This is an epidemic, and you're about to find out why it's happening and what you can do to keep you and your loved ones safe. Eric Edmeads spent more than 15 years visitng and living with some of the last hunter gatherer tribes on earth, and he's bringing first hand experience to tell you why we're sick and they're not.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: An evolving world and why humans are getting so sick Evolutionary diets vs traditonal ones Modern food vs hunter gatherer tribes Hunter gather health vs our health Industrial and agricultural influences on our health Metabolic diseases and technology Reversing chronic disease   More from Eric Edmeades: Instagram: @EricEdmeades Facebook: @EricEdmeades YouTube: @EricEdmeades Website: ericedmeades.com Order His Book: Pre-Order NOW   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

In this week's episode, we discuss changes in global health from Barcelona, as indicated by how much public coughing is taking place now. This segues into a discussion of cancer, mRNA, trade-offs, and complex systems. Then: what DOGE needs to understand about science, which is not inherently efficient. What are indirect costs on federal grants, why are they necessary, and why do they vary? And: how does having indirect costs create perverse incentives by university administrators to privilege scientists over non-scientists, and Big Science over (regular) science. Specifically, science in the West is failing because fast, expensive empirical science is nearly always favored over slow, cheap, and/or theoretical science. Universities get richer, and Big Scientists get promoted, but grad students don't learn how to be scientists, and we all lose out on having basic scientific questions answered, which will ultimately be our downfall. Also: the Ship of Theseus.***** Our sponsors:Pique's Nandaka: delicious mushroom, tea, and chocolate drink that provides all day energy.

In this week's episode, we discuss antibiotics, Kennedy, mirrors and education—all from Seville, Spain. First up: fluoroquinolones are a class of antibiotics that includes cipro, and are now understood to cause a whole host of serious health problems, from tendon rupture to heart damage to death. Over-reliance on pharmaceutical solutions to human problems is making us sicker. Then: scientists are worried about Kennedy, because he “rejects established science,” like how effective the mRNA shots are against Covid. Also: what is going on with mirrors, and why are people so quick to decide that it's obvious? Finally: education should include mirrors and magnets and big messy physical games that require coordination of both individual bodies and people.*****Our sponsors:ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.

In this week's episode, we discuss the relationship between infectious and chronic disease, and between germ theory and terrain theory of disease. Pathogens are real, and exogenous treatments like antibiotics can kill them. The health of the body is affected by diet, exercise, stress, and the microbiome, all of which can affect how susceptible a person is to getting sick from pathogens. We discuss gastric ulcers, Covid-19, pneumococcal disease, and comorbidities. Also: how do traditional vs modern diets affect the health, dental and otherwise, of people? Why do pre-industrial people not get cavities, or need orthodontia? Why do squirrels fed by humans develop similarly malformed skulls as babies fed modern diets? Finally: do we have a responsibility to point out the carnage that will result as the Trump administration goes after decades of entrenched interests?*****Our sponsors:Caraway: Non-toxic, beautiful, light ceramic cookware.

In this week's episode, we discuss the Senate Confirmation Hearings of Bobby Kennedy Jr., in which the Democrats reveal a preference for anecdote over science, and work hard to maintain the status quo. As RFK seeks to Make America Healthy Again, he answers questions about infectious and chronic disease, SSRIs, Covid, farmers, autism, conspiracy theories, Medicaid and Medicare, and says with no equivocation: “I am not afraid of vested interests.” Also: Trump signs an Executive Order that will prevent the chemical and surgical mutilation of children; the new Press Secretary seems positively human; and the CIA admits the likelihood of a laboratory origin of Covid.

Then: a summary of Executive Orders: positive (e.g. freedom of speech, reality of biological sex, affirmative action, putting America first, securing our borders, establishing DOGE, J6 pardons, promoting beautiful architecture, and withdrawing from the WHO), negative (Gulf of America, the death penalty), and environmental (off-shore wind and natural gas, ANWR, fish and fires).

In this week's episode, we continue our discussion of the Los Angeles Fires, sharing stories, analysis, and an apology from the owner of the LA Times, a publication which endorsed Karen Bass, LA's current mayor. Even if diversity and inclusion have value, we need skill and experience more. Then: a new molecular technique reveals the extent to which mRNA shots move around the body and trigger the immune system to destroy transfected cells; this provides strong support for Bret's years-old hypothesis that myocarditis and pericarditis are the result of T cell mediated destruction of cardiomyocytes. Finally: dung beetles, in life and in art.

In this week's episode, we discuss the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, which has destroyed the neighborhood where Heather grew up. Why does California burn, how are fires different now than they used to be, what happens now? We discuss the Getty Villa and Palisades Village, and why we should care what happens to a wealthy neighborhood in West LA. Also: did the LA Fire Chief drinking the DEI Kool-Aid contribute to the devastation? And when are natural disasters not entirely natural? Then: Zuckerberg announces changes to fact-checking, filters, and trust and safety teams at Meta. It's not an apology. Are the changes politically motivated, or market-driven, or philosophical, and will they stick? At the same time, Musk announces plans for algorithmic deboosting on X.

In this week's episode, we review the past year on DarkHorse, recalling stories about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (the former president of Harvard, Boeing, Kamala Harris, Secret Service, tortillas); food (seed oils, tallow, and types of fat; the food compass; microbeef sushi; the perfect potato); pharma (vaccines and the CDC, Ozempic, Bovear, sunscreen); the Earth's magnetic field and pole shifts; the WHO; the need for natural history museums; gender ideology (WPATH, pup handlers, the Olympics, Imane Khelif); immigration and the southern border; Julian Assange's release; the First Amendment and the Supreme Court; the election, Rescue the Republic, and Unity; and some cool biology (octopi have old sex chromosomes; fish with “legs” that can taste; an orangutan who heals wounds with leaves; and frogs in saunas). Then: predictable fissures are arising in the MAGA – MAHA – Unity coalition. How should we think about them, and how can we protect MAHA from a battle between food and pharma?

In this week's episode, we discuss the World Health Organization, Greenland, Panama, and how Trump plans to interact with all of the above. Is it moral to ask for, buy, or take, other people's land? We need to remember the Monroe Doctrine. Also: the Southern Poverty Law Center puts out an annual hate map, in which they showcase hate groups like “anti-government groups” that promote “conspiratorial and dubious views of government…as evidenced by the movement's popular rhetoric on such issues as COVID-19 regulation.” Also on the SPLC's hate list: people who don't think that drag queen story hours promote literacy. While claiming to challenge “binary gender roles,” trans ideology actually does the opposite. Finally: eight insights for Hannukah.*****Our sponsors:Policygenius: Save time and money providing a financial safety net for your family.

In this 256th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we discuss resistance to Make America Healthy Again, and how beliefs that were once unspeakable become speakable. It used to be impossible to speak about the risks of fluoride in the water; now it's not. It used to be impossible to question the safety of Mercury in vaccines; now it's not. How safe is Aluminum as an adjuvant in vaccines? Goliath assures us it's safe; we look at the research that has been done, and find otherwise. We are betting our lives, and our children's lives, on four rabbits and a dude. We also discuss the polio vaccine, and GLP-1 RAs, more familiarly known as Ozempic and its chemical kin. Similar to the mRNA shots for Covid (wherein Uracil was replaced with Pseudouridine), GLP-1RAs are similar but not identical to a naturally occurring human hormone, but have been altered to be more “stable” and last longer in the body.*****Our sponsors:Pique's Nandaka: delicious mushroom, tea, and chocolate drink that provides all day energy.

In this 255th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we discuss how to avoid confusion between moral and analytical differences, especially when it comes to politics and the state of America. Probably you have people in your life whom you love, with whom you disagree adamantly about politics. If you believe those people to share your values, then you probably just disagree about what you have seen, and what it means—rather than believing that they are fundamentally bad people. Also: is it unethical to spend time and resources investigating scientific questions that have already been answered? And: excess deaths in the time of Covid, the pull-forward effect, and an analogy with treefalls during early Winter storms: strong winds cull the weak, such that in subsequent storms, there should be fewer trees that fall. Also: check out Obvious State—they make amazing art prints.*****Our sponsors:Caraway: Non-toxic, beautiful, light ceramic cookware—makes a great gift!

In this 254th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we discuss science, scientists, and the mainstream media. How can the New York Times and The Atlantic simultaneously be so opposed to Kennedy, and so in favor of the industrial sludge being promoted by Big Pharma and Big Food? A new research result finds that women who move for a few seconds every day are less likely to have heart attacks than women who move for no seconds at all. Our standards have sunk very, very low. Science Magazine tells us that American science needs a new vision, but doesn't tell us what that vision should be. And we discuss why not knowing an answer, and using observation and inference to try to deduce it, is a better route to knowledge and autonomy than is looking up the answer right away.*****Our sponsors:Sundays: Dog food so tasty and healthy, even husbands swear by it.

In this 253rd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we follow the science to fewer cow farts. Bovear, an FDA approved product that is fed to cattle to reduce their production of methane, is the result of yet more reductionist, metric-heavy research that conflates complex systems with complicated ones. Bill Gates approves, though, so what could go wrong? We discuss ruminant biology, the actual Carbon impact of grazing cattle, and some other great new products from the makers of Bovear, including “the world's first-ever flavor created by artificial intelligence.” Then: why is the BBC's disinformation wing concerned about what Bret said on Diary of a CEO? What happened to journalism? Finally: it's Thanksgiving tomorrow. Liberals are supposed to be high in openness—consider being open to the differing views of your friends and family, and have a wonderful time together.*****Our sponsors:American Hartford Gold: Get up to $5,000 of free silver on your first qualifying order.

In this 252nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we start with corrections from last livestream, and a bit more about seed oils. Then: dry fasting. What are the cultural and biological precedents for abstaining from all food and drink for hours or days at a time? What religious traditions include dry fasting? Are their health benefits? What are autophagy, and metabolic water, and what do kangaroo rats and camels have to teach us? We tell our personal story of just having done a seven day dry fast, and remind Americans that, as a country, we just voted to Make America Healthy Again.

Also: $26 million was spent for “text message outreach,” any many people donated $10 or $20. It's reverse Robin Hood: stealing from the poor, to give to the rich. Related: how can we stay optimistic about unity, when we are seeing such different things? Finally: the New York Times finds a whole bunch of well-credential “experts” in nutrition to assure us that seed oils are excellent for your health. (They're not.) You have a choice: follow the science, or think scientifically for yourself, and actually be healthy.*****Our sponsors:Policygenius: Save time and money providing a financial safety net for your family.

In this 250th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we discuss the election results. The outcome—Trump in office, and both legislative bodies having a Republican majority—has the strong potential to be positive for everyone, and yet so many people are scared or angry. We discuss why, and provide some reasons that letting go of your fear and anger is the right thing to do. Also: what do exit polls reveal about who voted blue vs red? Who are the women who voted for Trump? How can you level up yourself and your understanding of the world? Then: why is the New York Times producing graphics that omit some of its own data, making it appear that the West coast had no shift in voting between 2020 and 2024 (spoiler: a significant majority of counties across the countries moved red this election). Finally: which party had more people who hoped for authoritarian crackdowns just two years ago?

The Democratic Party has created a two-tiered system in the Courts and in federal agencies; they have inverted basic values, including equal protection under the law, the role of families, informed consent, individual sovereignty, and our Constitution; and they have replaced truth-seeking with activism. From wars to the economy to the southern border, there is ample evidence of what the two teams actually stand for. Also: the first case report of trans-myocarditis.
