Transcribe →A heartfelt and timely message from Dr. Heather Heying on risk.
5d ago00:01:11Tap to summarizeAfter reading two reviews of The Little House on the Prairie remake, both written by women and critical of the risks taken by Pa Ingalls, Heather wrote a Substack essay exploring risk, exploration and frontiers through the lens of the original Little House on the Prairie series. Published in the immediate aftermath of their son's motorcycle accident, the essay took on an even deeper resonance. During the stream, Bret and Heather reflect on the piece and the role that risk plays in a meaningful life."...this narrow minded loser rabbit mentality feels like what is rising in middle class, white bread, boring, and the safest American culture now. And even they, even the authors of these reviews, the people they're speaking to who are applauding them would do far better if they were not just ignored, but actually instructed in why their approach is wrong and itself is bad for all of us. And I say that as someone who is just, as a mother who has just confronted the possibility to the most horrifying thing that's possible, he's gonna be okay, but we weren't sure. And still, risk is important and necessary."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbM8z92gPi0

Transcribe →Data centers are surging power demand, and the strained grids serving them are now threatening homes
2w ago00:01:40Tap to summarizeDr. Heather Heying shares that the high-voltage lines going up near people’s homes could have the aesthetic and—more important—health costs mitigated if those lines were put underground, due to the potential to insulate the magnetic fields.Power companies refuse to bury the lines.Bret Weinstein warns, "They're gonna tell you that this is not a problem. They're gonna lead you to believe this is not a problem.But they're demonstrating, in refusing to mitigate all of the problems. The aesthetic problem is mitigated too.You're actually taking people's homes and degrading them with these giant, crackling tower structures.The point is, if these industries actually gave a shit about us, then the point is this would be the obviously right way to do this—and yes, it would be more expensive. But the point is, how would you know if they gave a shit about us? They would be willing to spend more to do this properly and not destroy the communities that—oh, by the way—they don't live in, right?They're doing this in your backyard. They're not doing it in their backyard."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V89zW9MV0HA

Transcribe →Data centers, surveillance cameras... Bret Weinstein asks "what is this all really for?"
2w ago00:01:06Tap to summarize"If you look at the push towards tokenization of assets, towards central bank digital currencies—that is programmable money that can be turned off if you displease the powers that be. If you look at the creation of these massive data centers, is that really about citizen use of AI? Maybe some of it is, but is it really about creating a storehouse of information that will allow you to be controlled and locked down? That’s certainly the impression I have. We didn’t have a discussion about any of this. This is happening, and then we have to react to it because it’s all on a freight train headed down the line… and we’re always playing defense. So it’s pretty frightening stuff. And at some level, we have a moral right to object. We’re not being given the opportunity to object..."Watch the full episode, "What the Flock" here on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD6ol262NFI...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9DXvKH36rY
