Bret and Heather 188th DarkHorse Podcast Livestream: Play the Hand You Are Dealt
In this 188th 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 medicine, scientific publishing, and just how bad things have gotten. The New England Journal of Medicine declined to publish a letter that would have provided valuable scientific context for a paper they recently published, and we discuss Bret’s reserve capacity hypothesis regarding the evolution of senescence and the relationship of telomere length to both aging and cancer. Then we discuss uterine transplants. What can be done for women who are born without uteruses who want to bear children of their own? What about for men who present themselves to the world as women? How about women who have transitioned “into” men but have decided that they would like to bear children after all? And who can get Continuing Medical Education credits from the American Medical Association for pretending that up is down, male is female, and reality is a thing of the past? You can!
