In this 167th 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. It’s our three-year anniversary doing these livestreams!

This week we revisit raccoon dogs and the origins of SARS-CoV2. Then: Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT—should we be worried? If so, how worried? Bret proposes three categories of AI: malevolent, misaligned, and deranging. Finally: trans ideology and activism: trans-women will not be allowed to compete against women in international sports. And men are allowed to shut down women on a #LetWomenSpeak tour, so long as they claim to be women, or to be speaking for men who claim to be women. This is not the next civil rights battle; this is a battle for reality.
