Quick takeaways

Prague's intact cosmopolitan culture, influenced by its history and occupation, values moving forward and lacks negative forces like an opioid crisis or significant homelessness issues.

The Czech Republic's commitment to cosmopolitanism and Prague's emphasis on shared values and camaraderie distinguish it from Western countries struggling with multiculturalism's lack of unity and insulation.

The affirmative care model in transgender identity can have harmful consequences and requires critical assessment of mental health issues and understanding of the limitations of transitioning.

Deep dives

The Cultural Differences Between Prague and London

Prague in the Czech Republic has an intact cosmopolitan culture that values living together and moving forward, while London in the UK seems to be more influenced by multiculturalism. Prague's history of occupation and being behind the Iron Curtain may have protected its values from the negative forces that affected other Western countries. The Czech Republic retains a sense of affinity and regret over the Jews who were liquidated by the Nazis. Throughout our time in Prague, we experienced a sense of safety, a lack of drama, and a reduced focus on phones. Additionally, there was no evidence of an opioid crisis or a significant homelessness issue.

In this 198th 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 the West, the West West, and the West West West. Following recent travels in Prague, London, and Denver, we talk about how Prague seems to keeping the embers of the West alive—through noble subversion, shared knowledge of musical traditions, cobbled streets, and more. We discuss anti-semitism—its absence in Prague, its presence in London. We talk about the art and energy discussions at the ARC (Alliance for Responsible Citizenship) conference. And we discuss children and young people being harmed by the affirmative care model, following Heather’s participation in the Genspect conference in Denver.
