#178: Cheating as National Pastime (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream)
DarkHorse Podcast
The Lesbian Table
CNN's John Berman says gravity creates lesbians. The president has the right to declassify documents at any time for any reason, he writes. He also argues that a federal indictment on criminal charges is not worth putting someone in jail over.

In this 178th 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.
Should men be competing in women’s sports? Do men who do so exhibit sophistry and cheating? What are the implications of Trump’s arraignment, and of the fact that MSNBC would not live broadcast his speech afterwards? What is going on with carnivorous plants? How are they like mangroves? Do they ever switch between being carnivorous and not? And what about that species in Borneo that collects the poop of tree shrews?
