Transcribe →Bret Weinstein cuts straight to the chase on election fraud.
4d ago00:02:11Tap to summarize"We are going to have an endless battle in which those of us who see what we believe is clear evidence of some kind of election rigging or fraud are faced with indignation from a vast array of people portraying themselves as more rigorous and careful who say, 'Where is your evidence? Where exactly is your evidence that there was something wrong with this election?' And we are gonna be caught in the following predicament.No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case. And the sum total of all of the evidence contains true things and false things. So it is also no good. So the question is, can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong? I believe you can easily.Can you prove it? No.And not being able to prove it means that the election will proceed. It will be validated by all of the structures, including the courts. And that means that those who take on the power that derives from these elections will be the result of whatever process we just went through, whether it was an election that happened to be anomalous through organic means, or it was the result of some kind of fraud or election rigging. That is not an accident. That is not an accident. And the point that I wanna make primarily is the primary evidence against elections that look like this being organic is not actually in the trickle of evidence that we are actually able to see, the moment by moment vote count that does something strange during the night when some large tranche of ballots is suddenly counted or something like that. The evidence is in the structure of how the elections are actually carried out. These elections are designed to allow fraud that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted. And that's really the thing that we must focus on."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK_hGwRJrpE
Transcribe →California’s Blue Coup: The 329th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
5d ago02:05:19Tap to summarizeOn this, our 329th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we continue to discuss the West. We begin with readings of glorious California—from Stegner to Chandler to Didion—and reminisce about our own time growing up in LA. Then: the elections in California seem rigged, and if your elections are rigged, you don’t have a democracy. Paper polls worked; in-person voting worked; exit polls provided information. Why did our elections change? The system as it stands is an invitation to fraud. A democratic republic is the only viable alternative, and Democrats are destroying the goose that lays the golden eggs, which makes the marvelous life of most people—including the men singing about not taking it anymore--possible. Meanwhile in the state of Washington: the newest Executive Order demonstrates just how spineless, powerless, and in need of replacement, our leaders are. EO 26-01 purports to address menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms; instead, it is a pandering, bureaucratic, gameable, woke, anti-scientific mess. To everyone who still believes the blue team: Stop being foot-soldiers of Goliath.*****Our sponsors:Redmond Salt: Jurassic-era salt from Utah, and amazing electrolytes (Re-Lyte) from the same sea bed.

Transcribe →NEW Seattle smart portable restrooms already vandalized - Bret Weinstein explains how we got here.
1w ago00:01:50Tap to summarize“The glass is already being broken out on the new Throne Labs Smart Portable restrooms in Seattle, Washington.”Why?!Bret Weinstein explains what the Woke Revolution is, and why would it be doing what it’s doing…“My argument has been that this is, cryptically, an attack on civilization from people who probably correctly understand that they are in a competitive system, and they are so damaged by the time they get to adulthood that they couldn’t possibly win.So, if you’re in a system where you’re built to be a loser, your incentive to keep that system running is minimal.And the idea that anybody—I mean, we all use toilets—would attack public toilets that they might themselves need is an expression of this hostility to the functioning of society.It’s not a complaint that society isn’t functioning. It’s an attack on the functionality of society, because the whole point is: we’re going to level this.”...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L-It2eDJqE
Transcribe →It's actually all about preserving the West.
1w ago00:00:41Tap to summarize...it's actually all about preserving the West. Whether it's the fentanyl addicts hanging out their fent leans across the West Coast, or the immigrants in Paris burning down Paris, or bathrooms in Seattle that are being broken - they can't function weeks before they're existing for. All of this is of a piece, which is we need the West, we have benefited from the West, we will continue to thrive under the rules and responsibilities of the West, and it is giving up on those which many politicians who call themselves liberals have done, which is causing the decline....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1iCvsiTH68
Transcribe →Why the West is on Fire: The 328th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
2w ago02:02:10Tap to summarizeOn this, our 328th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss fires in the West, both literal and metaphorical. First: the mayoral race in LA, and race politics. Then: rioting in Paris after a soccer win—not mere hooliganism, but also due to race politics and immigration. The World Cup is coming to Seattle—but what to do about the homeless people? Build a “low barrier” tiny home community out of sight of the tourists, where drug addicts are encouraged to relocate. New public toilets in Seattle were destroyed within weeks, though—will tiny homes be sufficient to protect soccer fans? Also: it’s pride month! At UCSC’s “Gender Affirming Gear” closet, students can get free binders, packers, and tucking kits! Knitting it all together: What is the West, what are its tenets, and is it worth saving? Yes.*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 20% off your first order.ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.

Transcribe →You'll invest in this thing & you don't have a goddamn choice about it. But your needs? Unimportant.
2w ago00:02:22Tap to summarizeAI is Being Deployed as "Degenerate Intellectual Communism" - Bret Weinstein"So on the one hand, you've got the AIs hoovering up all of this product of human intellectual activity, and then regurgitating it. But not really just regurgitating it—actually using it as the material of useful coherent thought, producing what appears to be thoughtful insight that is really the result of having scooped up all of these insights and then making the emergent property of it as the product.So here's the point.From each according to his ability, to each according to his need, okay?They've taken from each of us according to our ability, right? People who say things that aren't very useful aren't going to get integrated into these models at a high level, and people who say things that are particularly insightful are going to have their stuff utilized because it's gonna result in a better product, which results in this thing being saleable.To each according to his need... nope.You're gonna have to pay for your level of access to this thing. We've all put our heart and soul into it, whether we intended to or not, but you are gonna have to pay a private entity in order to access the product. So my point is it has the worst element of communism: from each according to his ability. Those who are highly productive will have all of their product loaded into this thing, and those who are lazy will have nothing useful loaded into it, and so it will steal from people in proportion to their contribution. And then we are gonna be charged for our level of access.To each according to his need? No. You may need top-level AI. You may have done high-quality work that got ingested into the AI and is therefore serving other people. And you may need top-level access that you can't afford to buy. Sorry.So this is why I say it's "degenerate intellectual communism." It has the essential element of communism: from each according to his ability. You will invest in this thing and you don't have a goddamn choice about it. But your needs? Unimportant."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29DucHIF_3E

Because there aren't any. Because the entire basis of the policy that you've been advocating is nonsense. It's illogical. You can't say it out loud and make it make sense."...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW8TR_UxeuI
