In this 116th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

This week, we discuss a hypothesis regarding the mechanism by which mRNA vaccines may cause myocarditis. We discuss fear and safety and how fear is used to convince us that we can do with less safety—in things from vaccines to transgenic trees. We discuss Ukraine, a bit, and fairness, and fixing the system so that we can be strong and liberal again, and we read two Wendell Berry poems, and a letter from a Canadian named Matthew.

Yes, a double dose of short, all-ages episodes to launch Smologies!
