In this 114th 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 talk about Truckers for Freedom, the movement and protest of “passionate, patriotic and peaceful” people who are standing, in Ottawa, against mandates and for freedom. We discuss the unacceptable death of a young woman, as described by her grieving mother, and media coverage that conveys the opposite of what is true. We discuss GoFundMe, and recommend the hashtag #GoTruckYourself. We hear words from Canadian politicians, and from a corporal in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who speaks of his duty to neither comply, nor be complicit, with unlawful policies and regulations. We discuss Joe Rogan, flak over the target, crossing the Rubicon, and grief.
