49. Being Open-Minded, Thinking Independently, and Ending the Two-Party System｜Bret Weinstein

Bret Weinstein is an evolutionary biologist, former professor at Evergreen State College, and part of the Intellectual Dark Web alongside members like his brother Eric Weinstein, Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Joe Rogan, and Ben Shapiro.

Bret came into the spotlight as part of the controversy that occured at Evergreen State College (recommend a quick google), and is now using his platform to promote Unity2020, a new political system where two candidates from the left and right are drafted to become President and Vice President of the United States.

Bret and I spoke about:

• #ShutdownSTEM controversy and Bret's stance on it
• What really happened with the Evergreen controversy
• The deep-rooted racism in the world and how we can take actionable steps to reduce it
• Unity2020: what is it, why is it needed, and who are the candidates? (hint: one of them is a former guest on Growth Minds)
• Why it's crucial that we remain open-minded while thinking independently
