Where Cheaters Prosper: The 347th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

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 until more of us start voting against them—even if they seem to be on “our” side. We also discuss why Washington doesn’t check voters for citizenship. ***** Our sponsors: Redmond Salt: Jurassic-era salt from Utah, and amazing electrolytes (Re-Lyte) from the same sea bed.
