#141 Keep Portland WEIRD! (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream)
In this 141st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about Portland, which has been our home town for four years. It is a city that we are now leaving. Portland has amazing nature, culture, food and people. But Portland is falling apart, despite a strong tax base, and amazing ingenuity in its people and businesses.
