    Pharma’s New Game: The 279th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    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.

  3. The Real Matrix: The 278th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    MAY 28

    The Real Matrix: The 278th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    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.

Gadolinium crosses the blood-brain barrier if the barrier is not fully intact—does that affect your decision?

    Report from the Foxhole: The 276th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    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.

    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?

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.
