Drag Queen Science Hour: The 243rd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
In this 243rd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this week’s episode, we discuss the evidence for the traps being laid by Goliath, continuing last episode’s discussion of the presidential debate. Then: sex, gender, meaning, and identity. What kind of science is being done that concludes that sex and gender are not just distinct, but unrelated? And why are 10 year olds being asked if they’re transgender, or how much they feel like a boy, or a girl? While “scientists” use models to produce results that make no sense, adolescents stop pursuing meaning, which is dynamic and expands one’s horizons, and instead focus on identity, which is all too-often a static dead-end.
