In this 171st 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.
This week we discuss why businesses aren’t acting like businesses. Why did Fox fire Tucker Carlson? Why did Anheuser-Busch hire Dylan Mulvaney? Why did Twitter of old throw people off for engaging in WrongThink? Why does YouTube continue to strike people for talking to the wrong people—people like democratic candidate for president Robert F Kennedy, Jr? Part of the answer is in the ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) agenda. ESG is social credit for corporations, and it is being used by Goliath to facilitate a new kind of fascism.
