Black and Blue: The 247th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

Black and Blue: The 247th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

By Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying

In this 247th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

In this week’s episode, we discuss the “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men” being proposed by Kamala Harris—from legalizing marijuana to enacting price controls on food and rent to regulating crypto. Then: why the ascendant Right needs the traditional liberal left, and a discussion of positive feedback, and why it has become easier to say that you support Trump than it used to be. Finally: azo food dye turns mice transparent, in the name of science. Food dyes and other additives are in more things than we know; how can we keep ourselves healthy in this environment?
