re: Bret Weinstein on Joe Rogan podcast

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...

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

Thanks for sharing

What? Logically inconsistent argument is logically inconsistent.

The dolphins aren’t playing tennis one week and golf the next.

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.

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%

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

Definitely worth it.

This explains so much...

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.
