Constitution in the Crosshairs: The 349th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

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: every morsel that we eat, walking, sharing memories, and making plans. ***** Our sponsors: BUBS Naturals: Live Better Longer with BUBS Naturals.  For A limited time get 20% Off your entire order with code DARKHORSE at Bubsnaturals.com Mars Men: Natural testosterone booster supplement.
