In this 235th 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 lack of transparency from the Secret Service about the assassination attempt on Trump, as revealed in part during this week’s Congressional hearing. Using Colin Ray’s “That’s my story and I’m sticking to it,” we analyze why information is being withheld from the public. Then: Portland Pride—the annual (now in July!) Parade reveals generic aesthetics, soulless corporate sponsorship, the public display of kink, and children taking it all in.
