#173: Would You Believe… (Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying DarkHorse Livestream)
In this 173rd 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.
First up this week, we discuss SARS-CoV2—again!—in light of new research that finds no evidence for a zoonotic origin at the Huanan Seafood Market. Science is not faring well these days. We also discuss AI “doomers,” and why that’s a misleading epithet. A new product that’ll keep your produce fresh with absolutely no downsides is now on fruit near you! And a hummingbird makes an error.
