#96: Finding the Fourth Frontier (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream)
DarkHorse Podcast
Is It Possible to Drive It Extinct?
The question of whether it is possible to drive rabies extinct has become politicized, says the author. "I have seen nothing that tells me it isn't possible," he adds. The writer's 13-page book includes an epilogue and afterward.
In this 96th 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 society, and how to have a functional one. Beginning with a discussion of 9/11, Bret then reads an excerpt from an essay he wrote after the November 2015 Paris attacks. We then share an excerpt from the final chapter of our forthcoming book, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century, in which we discuss historical frontiers—geographic, technological, and transfer-of-resource. We call for a fourth kind of frontier, and discuss austerity and value, progress and discovery. We compare narrative with analysis, and how most people are not in fact stupid. We discuss the Maya, and what we can learn from them. We also discuss our new nemesis, the very hungry caterpillar.
