In this 107th 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.

We discuss dissent, and argue that it is more common than people tend to think. What is up with the omicron variant? We remind people that there are ways to deal with Covid other than vaccines. Meanwhile, the AMA is apparently too busy declaring “morbidly obese” a mean term to actually care about people’s health. Florida is getting something right; the newly made-up PPSD (Post Pandemic Stress Disorder) will most definitely be responsible for all the heart problems that are about to occur; and the NYT aims directly at children. We discuss our Chanukah traditions. And there are many human universals, including: we have music, and we dance.
