On this, our 351st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss Russell Brand: his history, his character, his recent convictions and sentencing. What does consent mean in the modern era—is it a concept that can possibly do what it needs to do? Other concepts under discussion are rape, statute of limitations, charisma, and redemption. Then: how a story of a failed co-op reveals deep divides. ***** Our sponsors: Sundays for Dogs: Dog food so tasty and healthy, even husbands swear by it. Go to h...

On this, our 350th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss prepping, governmental fear-mongering, and a new political party in America. The media would have us believe that we are being told to stockpile food by the government—but we’re not. We go through a history of U.S. governmental injunctions to stockpile (or not), before arriving at FORTRESS—Federal Operations for Resilience, Troop Resources, Energy, Supply, and Survivability—announced September 30, to ensure continuing operations if s...

On this, our 349th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss threats to our Constitution, due process, informed consent, and mRNA shots, through the lens of a legal argument just made public at covidpenalty.com. Also: what is it to be human, and how do we protect our humanity in the face of technological advances that make our lives easier, but remove us from our selves? Is there not value in waiting for some things—perhaps for most things? Related: we should care about all the human things: e...

On this, our 348th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss migration, race, and the West. First: the Mercator projection is unsatisfactory, and there’s a new map available, but no map of the globe can be perfect. Every home should have a globe. Then: what do we do with things in which the first step is neutral or good, but it seems inevitable that we end up in a dire situation once the first step has been accepted? Examples include abortion, lobbying, advertising, informed consent, EULAs, an...

Bret Weinstein speaks with Anthony Rubin on the subject of mass migration into Europe and the United States: who facilitates it, who profits from it, and why the mainstream press has left two brothers with cameras to document it.

On this, our 347th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the ballot initiatives and voter id in the state of Washington. On this November’s ballot, WA has 3 measures: 645 (which would repeal the new income tax), 638 (which would keep girls’ sports single-sex), and 001 (which would return parental rights). We discuss—and support—all three. In every case, reading the arguments for and against, it is clear that one side must be lying—the “facts” are inconsistent. Cheaters will keep winning un...

Bret Weinstein speaks with Josh Walkos on the subject of Toka, a company that says it can alter surveillance video without a trace, and the wider network of surveillance and targeting tools being built with no public consent.

On this, our 346th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the Cornell 7, sex in modern times, and the plague. Civil charges have been brought against seven men and several institutions, including Cornell University, by a woman who claims to have been drugged and gang-raped in a fraternity house on campus in October 2024. We go through legal documents and journalism about what happened and discuss consent, drinking and drugs, the Greek system, and what sex has and has not become. Then: a wom...

Bret Weinstein speaks with Jeffrey Tucker on the subject of the COVID story the establishment is willing to tell, and the much larger one it isn't.

On this, our 345th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss immigration, AI, and rawness. First: a new Harper’s article chronicles the effects on local people of the mass migration across the Darién Gap in Panama between 2021 and 2025, and what has happened since the number of people coming up from Colombia has dropped to a trickle. The reporting on the ground is excellent—human and honest—while the political analysis is naïve at best. Then: what is it to be raw, how is it inherently human, a...
