#158: Transphobes? (Bret Weinstein & Hea...

Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying
About this episode

In this 158th 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 cancellation. How do mobs get to people and coerce them? Once cancelled, how immune are you? What are the lessons learned when going through the looking glass? 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? And Bret invites Sam Harris to talk to him: on DarkHorse, in a mediated conversation, or on QPARK.
