I usually love joe but when he said that stuff I was blown away. He should know better than that.
Only half way through the episode. Can somebody give me cliffs on this weinstein guy and what Evergreen is? I tried to look it up and got pretty mixed results.

Cliff notes:
Radical commies at Evergreen are pushing for racial segregation. In the past some (mainly commie) “minority” students would abandon the campus in some sort of commie, segregationist game. A few years ago those segregationist commies demanded all white people abandon campus for the day instead of some minority (mainly commie) students. Bret Weinstein pushed back against this racist oppression and was bullied and deplatfomed by those bully, segregationist commies.

It’s crazier than that. They took over the school, the police stood down, they took some professors hostage; it was total anarchy. The footage is crazy to watch. The faculty bowing to it so easily is something to behold. Bret is literally the only one standing up to it, but the whole thing is ludicrous.

Just started the show and yikes, Joe is wrong about why were the cops called when the guy is driving drunk...
Imagine if he speeds away and kills someone’s family

That part was cringey, but the rest of this interview has been very interesting and thought provoking
Thanks for sharing

If you have time to spare y’all should really watch this documentary. It is a must see. It’s wild what went on at that college. Especially when it wasn’t really mainstream yet for kids to act like that.

What? Logically inconsistent argument is logically inconsistent.

About 1 hour into the podcast.
This is disturbing stuff...and I think Weinstein is right. We have people out there forcing the institutions to abandon scientific method and admit things they know are false.
I highly recommend this podcast to anyone that wants a birds eye perspective of what is happening in the US now.

For those who are interested, Eric interviewed Bret on his podcast, and it was fascinating. It gets off to a slow start, but the story is well worth listening to once they get going.
Basically Eric is calling out his brother for even teaching at Evergreen in the first place when, in reality, (according to Eric) he belongs with the upper echelon of scientists making new discoveries. What drew Bret in to Evergreen was the structure that allowed faculty free reign over their research and curriculum, and the fact that the undergraduates had more of a graduate level type relationship with their professors (small classes, students stuck with the same professors throughout their college career, specializing in a narrow field). They discuss his work with telomeres and how he had a groundbreaking theory stolen, tested, and proven by a woman who went on to win a Nobel prize for her work without a mention of him. He theorized that due to the fact that essentially all lab mice originated from one lab in the US, and due to the fact that they had unusually long telomeres compared to wild mice, the results of basically all drug trials were skewed/corrupted, thus calling into question the legitimacy of many drugs approved for use by humans. He goes more into why telomere length is so important and what brought him to the theory. It’s a great conversation between two brothers.

STEM is the most conservative part of most universities because members are focused on doing their thing and nothing outside of our bubble usually registers.
When these gender studies types start dictating to STEM fields how they are going to go about business that is an extremely dangerous place to be.

I’m sure they talk about this on the podcast (haven’t had a chance to watch yet) but the whole day without STEM thing was crazy. Two big scientific journals promoted it too. It directly paralleled the Evergreen day of absence.
Eric had a good video up responding to it:

And he calls them
Out and says that people who major in gender studies couldn’t cut it in the STEM fields and I agree 100%

It’s a truly eye opening segment.

Thanks for posting this thread. I listened to it earlier.
Definitely worth it.

And just a random reply on Evergreen thread, here is their most famous alumni (and ivory soap white):
Matt Groening (creator: The Simpsons, Futurama)
Ben Haggerty (aka Macklemore)
Carrie Brownstein (co-star Portlandia, guitarist Sleater-Kinney)
Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld, Stanley Spadowski from the movie UHF)
Josh Blue (from “Last Comic Standing”)
Violet Blue (pornstar aka Noname Jane)
That is all.

I highly recommend listening to Sam Harris’ segment on BLM too

Did his brother crash the interview to heckle him?
Eric seems to hold a grudge against Bret for being meek and not standing up for himself. It isn't the first time he got screwed. He was basically screwed out of a Nobel prize when his idea was dismissed by fellow academics who then stole it and ran with it for themselves.
Eric was livid that Bret just crawled into a hole (Evergreen) and did nothing about it. The irony is that Bret was probably out of Evergreen's league yet he was pushed out basically for not being anti-white. The whole thing is pretty ridiculous.
