In this 186th 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 mechanism of action by which the mRNA vaccines cause heart damage, following the publication of relevant research in Science Immunology. We discuss the nature of science, both empirical and theoretical, and why the eclipsing of theoretical science by the empiricists is dangerous. We discuss how fields become stuck, and why, once they get stuck, it is easy to best them. We discuss a new paper that describes two case studies of teenage males who have recurring myocarditis post mRNA vaccine. And we talk about social learning in bumblebees: they learn how to solve puzzles from others of their own kind. As do we. ***** Our sponsors: UnCruise: Get $500 off any adventure cruise on a small ship into destinations including Galapagos, Panama, Alaska, and the San Juan Islands: https://uncruise.com/pages/darkhorse/ American Hartford Gold: Get up to $5,000 of free silver on your first qualifying order.
