In this 202nd 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 Congressional hearing in which the presidents of several elite universities are asked whether calling for the genocide of Jews constitute bullying or harassment. We call out the double standard revealed by their actions, and their answers. Then we discuss the impressive efforts by Pfizer to engage the behemoth that is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Also: How important is it that Elon Musk told Disney to F-off? How do chinstrap penguins get away with sleeping for four seconds at a time? And what is going on with the deer in the Florida Keys?
