We’re Beyond Flocked: The 338th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Aug 12, 2026 · 1 hr 25 min
On this, our 338th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the WNBA, and the surveillance state. At the WNBA, only women can play, but they don’t define what a woman is; as such, two former NBA players have declared their eligibility for next year’s WNBA draft. In humans, as in all mammals, sex is binary and immutable. This is simple and fundamental, and denying it is delusional. Then: Toka is an Israeli company that advertises “frictionless surveillance.” Toka’s technology can locate cameras n…

Children on the Front Lines? The 337th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Aug 5, 2026 · 1 hr 25 min
On this, our 337th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss how Western society is treating its children. First, the good news: the Department of Justice, working with AGs in Texas and Ohio, have effectively shuttered two major “gender care” clinics, and extracted promises to create clinics to support people in detransitioning. It’s about time. But: why is there a Trump banner on the DoJ? This is not typically how Americans do things, for good reason. Add the Trump branded passport, and $1 coin,…
Everyday Treason: The 336th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Jul 29, 2026 · 1 hr 15 min
On this, our 336th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the Covid Era in light of the Senate Hearing on the testimony of Anthony Fauci. First: excerpts from several Covid Era Stories, reminding us of the atrocities, tragedies, and ludicrosities (yes) of that time. Then: is Fauci’s refusal to answer any questions put to him by members of the committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs evidence that he is, in effect, a made man? We the people deserve answers, and the government shoul…

Jul 26, 2026 · 2 hr 56 min

He’s the Front Runner! The 335th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Jul 22, 2026 · 1 hr 16 min
On this, our 335th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the time-traveling money printer in its newest instantiation: Trump’s monetization of Truth Social, wherein you pay to get a microsecond advantage in the market. Like so many before him, he’s becoming wealthy without generating wealth. But a president should be working to generate wealth for his country, and its citizens. Then: discussion of risk, exploration and frontiers in the context of Pa Ingalls and the Little House on the Prairie…
What the Flock? The 334th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Jul 15, 2026 · 1 hr 47 min
On this, our 334th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss data centers, surveillance cameras, and the Cartesian Crisis. Do Americans dislike data centers because they’re bad for us, or because foreign agents want us to dislike them? The NYT and Alethea say that foreign agents are creating content made to look home-grown that is not, but the support for the arguments is weak. Meanwhile, the high-voltage lines going up near people’s homes could have the aesthetic and—more important—health costs…
The 3/11 Truth Movement: Sonia Elijah on DarkHorse
Jul 12, 2026 · 1 hr 34 min

Gen Z Rising? The 333rd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Jul 8, 2026 · 1 hr 43 min
On this, our 333rd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss how to avoid mosquitoes without DEET, whether Gen Z is really doing better than the generations before it (as some research and headlines proclaim), and what the hell happened to Wikipedia. First: catnip is as effective as DEET in dissuading mosquitoes (but you might end up attracting cats). Next: New research suggests that GenZ is doing great, financially, but dig just a little, and find the research deeply flawed. Finally: Larry Sange…
The American Experiment at 250: The 332nd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Jul 1, 2026 · 1 hr 54 min
On this, our 332nd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss America’s 250th birthday. In 1776, both Common Sense and the Declaration of Independence provided self-evident truths that prompted the formation of a new nation. Built on optimism and an entrepreneurial spirit, the United States of America is fracturing along political lines, each side incapable of seeing the humanity of people who believe different things from themselves. In those 250 year old documents we see implicit recognition of…
Is it Sunset for Sunscreen? The 331st Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Jun 23, 2026 · 1 hr 23 min
On this, our 331st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss sunscreen and vegans. It’s Summer, and the sun is out! Should you slather yourself in sunscreen, stay indoors, or seek moderate exposure to the sun that grows in intensity that more your skin becomes acclimated to the season? The last, of course. Research has found that sunscreen use may be positively correlated with skin cancer, but a) “sunscreen” is not just one thing, and most but not all sunscreen is positively toxic, and b) all cau…
Turning Britain Around: Rupert Lowe on DarkHorse
Jun 21, 2026 · 1 hr 36 min
Bret Weinstein sits down with Rupert Lowe for a timely conversation about Britain, the West, institutional corruption, and the consequences of political cowardice. Days after this interview was recorded, the UK Rape Gang Inquiry Report was released, bringing renewed attention to one of the most disturbing scandals in modern British history. Find Rupert Lowe on X at https://x.com/RupertLowe10 and Restore Britain at https://www.restorebritain.org.uk. ***** This episode is sponsored by: Mars Men: N…
It Pays to Be Gay: The 330th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Jun 19, 2026 · 1 hr 24 min
On this, our 330th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss pride and fascism. In California, companies get preferential consideration for utilities contracts if they can demonstrate that they belong to June’s most popular “oppressed” class—LGBTQ. Proof will be required, however. Evidence can take the form of “attempted parenting” with a same-sex partner, a therapist’s letter confirming transgender status, or a TikTok account, among other things. Meanwhile among the GenZ’s, 31% of young women id…
Fraud, Tyranny & the Legal Battle to Save America: Bobbie Anne Cox on DarkHorse
Jun 14, 2026 · 2 hr

California’s Blue Coup: The 329th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Jun 9, 2026 · 2 hr 5 min
On this, our 329th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we continue to discuss the West. We begin with readings of glorious California—from Stegner to Chandler to Didion—and reminisce about our own time growing up in LA. Then: the elections in California seem rigged, and if your elections are rigged, you don’t have a democracy. Paper polls worked; in-person voting worked; exit polls provided information. Why did our elections change? The system as it stands is an invitation to fraud. A democratic repub…
Why the West is on Fire: The 328th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Jun 3, 2026 · 2 hr 2 min
On this, our 328th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss fires in the West, both literal and metaphorical. First: the mayoral race in LA, and race politics. Then: rioting in Paris after a soccer win—not mere hooliganism, but also due to race politics and immigration. The World Cup is coming to Seattle—but what to do about the homeless people? Build a “low barrier” tiny home community out of sight of the tourists, where drug addicts are encouraged to relocate. New public toilets in Seattle wer…
Spencer Pratt in the Era of Degenerate Intellectual Communism: The 327th Evolutionary Lens
May 27, 2026 · 1 hr 53 min
On this, our 327th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss West coast politics, propaganda, and AI. First: the insurgent campaign of Spencer Pratt in the race for mayor of Los Angeles is going strong. He is by far the best hope for Los Angeles, given fires and filth, homelessness and crime, drugs and corruption. Then: propaganda from Iran is remarkably compelling. And: Bret proposes that the model of AI that we are living under is degenerate intellectual communism, and that we have been given n…

The Oligarchs Strike Back: The 326th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
May 20, 2026 · 1 hr 35 min
On this, our 326th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss government and tyranny, environmental toxins and the media, eminent domain, and memories of childhood. Former Washington state governor Christine Gregoire says the state doesn’t have an income problem, it’s got a spending problem—and that unpredictability from legislators is making it impossible for the business community to plan. Stochasticity is impossible to adapt to—for humans, and for other species too. In the most expensive Congre…

Haunted by the Hanta Virus: The 325th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
May 9, 2026 · 1 hr 50 min
On this, our 325th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss Hanta virus and drought. First: what is the natural history of Hantavirus, do any Hantaviruses transmit directly from human to human, and what is going on with the M.V. Hondius, the cruise ship on which Hantavirus has made a stand? Given its mechanisms of action, Ivermectin is likely to treat Hantavirus (a negative sense single-stranded RNA virus), but the WHO dismisses the possibility. Moderna is working on a Hantavirus vaccine, even t…
Hive Mind: The 324th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
May 6, 2026 · 1 hr 13 min
On this, our 324th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the 2028 presidential election, and bees, plants, and electrons. First: Kamala Harris is currently the front-runner for the Democratic nominee in 2028. Given her scant record of achievements, her capacity, and her campaign in 2024, how is this possible? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be a better choice. On the Republican side, Vance is the front-runner, as expected, but there are far more other options than on the Democratic side (DeSan…
Vultures and the Public Health: The 323rd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Apr 30, 2026 · 1 hr 33 min
On this, our 323rd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss vultures, politics, and complex systems. Vultures, which have evolved multiple times (like mangroves, poison frogs, and “trees”), specialize on carrion. In India, a painkiller commonly used in people but toxic to vultures, diclofenac, came out of patent, began to be used in cattle, and the vast majority of vultures in India died. Downstream effects include the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and tens of billions of dollars in…

Why Even Try? The 322nd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Apr 11, 2026 · 1 hr 32 min
On this, our 322nd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the Cartesian crisis, whether going to the moon is valuable, and college in the age of AI. Before the ads, we discuss the nature of knowledge, and whether paying attention all the time, to all the things, can backfire and make a personal less capable of comprehension. Later: why go to the moon? An op-ed writer at The Guardian says there’s no point—there’s nothing to see, no one to talk to. We discuss the value of science—not just in ter…
The Games We Play: The 321st Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Apr 8, 2026 · 1 hr 51 min
On this, our 321st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss AI, Iran, Trump, emergencies in the state of Washington, and stories from the Covid era. Anthropic, which makes Claude, announced that they are halting the release of their latest model due to unexpected capacities it has revealed. We discuss trade-offs, exploration, and game theory as they pertain to bats and planes, cats and humans, and LLMs. Then: did Trump make a genocidal threat against Iran? And: what emergency in the state of Was…
Are we back in the stone age? The 320th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Apr 4, 2026 · 1 hr 47 min
On this, our 320th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss whether it can happen here, or again. It is genocide. Growing up in a secular Jewish household in the 1970s and ‘80s, Bret remembers many discussions of whether it could happen again, and where, but it seems to be assumed that the repeated targets of atrocities cannot themselves ever engage in atrocity. Is this true? We discuss lineage selection, the nature of history and memory, diaspora, Israel. Also, the belligerence of the U.S. agai…
This Reflects Badly: The 319th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Apr 1, 2026 · 1 hr 24 min
On this, our 319th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss space mirrors and the state of Washington state. Reflect Orbital is a young company that hopes to put tens of thousands of mirrors in orbit around the planet, and deliver “full moon to high noon” levels of light anyplace on Earth, on demand (for the right price). What could go wrong? Also: Washington state has voted in the first ever income tax (for high earners), quick on the heels of its first ever capital gains tax, while still havin…
