The Fight Over Fat: Dr Bret Weinstein and Dr Heather Heying

In this week’s episode, we discuss science, scientists, and the mainstream media. How can the New York Times and The Atlantic simultaneously be so opposed to Kennedy, and so in favor of the industrial sludge being promoted by Big Pharma and Big Food? A new research result finds that women who move for a few seconds every day are less likely to have heart attacks than women who move for no seconds at all. Our standards have sunk very, very low. Science Magazine tells us that American science needs a new vision, but doesn’t tell us what that vision should be. And we discuss why not knowing an answer, and using observation and inference to try to deduce it, is a better route to knowledge and autonomy than is looking up the answer right away.
