Description

Husband and Wife, Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, are evolutionary biologists who spend their time exploring human nature. They’re both on the political left, with careers as professors. In 2017, the two spoke out against radical orthodoxy at Evergreen State College which sparked outrage and protests, leading to their resignations. Now, they’re hosts on the Dark Horse Podcast, operating as exiled professors. In our episode, we discuss the fundamental problem with the phrase “Follow The Science”, how we save our collective consciousness, and what human civilization must do to continue growing and progressing into our potential while also maintaining our existence and our foundations.

The loss of these wonderful teachers and truly admirable people was a disaster for Evergreen but a lucky break for the rest of us.

As a former Liberal, these two are incredibly articulate in voicing what I have long believed. No I don’t agree with all the tenets of the right, but lately the right is so much more reasonable and SANE. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. ESPECIALLY because we disagree. Otherwise it’s all a big echo chamber.

I’ve been waiting for a DarkHorse/Shapiro crossover forever! So glad to see this happen like this!

“There is a desire to exclude that which can falsify a cherished myth.” These two brilliant people are immensely important thinkers that scared and emotional sheep want to silence. The clip of Bret getting accosted by angry children screaming “Do not control this conversation!” is perfectly spot on proof of how emotional rage overrides truth and sense. Truly eye-opening, and depressing.

When you let spoiled children get out of control it becomes Lord Of The Flies.

Jesus. Can you imagine a bunch of children accusing you of being racist in your own classroom like that? These two people and their voices are so important. It's a damn shame. I'm glad they landed on their feet.

I left Evergreen State College in 2013 and heard from my ex-HR coworkers that they were bullied and threatened trying to get to the bathrooms. They tried to get out via the back stairs. What kind of President puts the health and safety of the Protestors above his own faculty and staff? What a a-show.
