I am struck by how articulate @BretWeinstein is. Evergreen students should have put their energy into taking notes.

You were both great, but for me
@BretWeinstein was a revelation! I pity the students who rejected him. A great loss for Evergreen State College!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This was great. Weinstein was great on Rogan also. Interesting, wide-ranging convos (both). Weinstein has a new fan here.

Something odd & maybe biased in
@BretWeinstein's approach to religion & culture as something evolutionary,when in many cases religion is an "import" that is gradually hammered in the the minds and culture of the conquered to ensure supremacy of the new rulers -
Invasive species are still acting through evolutionary/biological imperatives. Invasive populations, colonialisers, etc are the same way. Also, sometimes a hammer is the best tool for the job.
-
I said "biased", becuase I think you and
@BretWeinstein r seeing evolutionary patterns that u simply wish see but r just happenstance. If USA wouldn't have enterend WW1, the world would b different but that's not evolution but what came afterwards might b. -
To the contrary, it sounds like you reject the idea that something such as colonialism could serve an evolutionary role. The WW1 analogy confuses me.
-
What's the point in looking at the world of happenstance as a run away train of evolution? To learn 2 understand the hidden motives & estimate the difficulty of change? The more important task is 2 proceed towards a more normative world with less suffering
-
I disagree at the notion that widespread human behaviors like colonialism were just a matter of happenstance, and not the result of human nature manifesting itself in any way possible and sticking with what was successful.
