Bret and Heather 181st DarkHorse Podcast Livestream: The Slow Creep of Institutional Entropy
In this 181st 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.
In this episode we discuss higher ed—its goals and freedoms, how it is failing, what can be done to fix it. We discuss a thought experiment regarding the Special Olympics. We discuss new research on sex differences in certain kinds of cancers, and the reporting on it. And we talk a bit about hummingbirds.
