Bret Weinstein's DarkHorse Podcast - Black Intellectual Roundtable

[Orangesapples 1,954]

 

This is a very interesting, civilized debate that I think people on the right and the left will find valuable. Bret Weinstein is an evolutionary biologist who resigned from Evergreen college after he was attacked by a campus mob for refusing to participate in a "Whites not allowed on campus day" in 2017 and the university failed to protect Jim and his wife Heather Heying (also an evolutionary biologist). Here is an article about that event:

Bret and Heather are both on the left on many issues but they disagree with the current cultural shift in left ideology. They're both pretty great to listen to and offer great insights, often from an evolutionary perspective. This video doesn't emphasize evolution, it's more of a social commentary. Worth listening to.

I have heard him several times on the radio, he is certainly more of a classical Liberal, and not so much an extreme Leftist hence his canceling by those folks even at a place like Evergreen.

He's great, I like his wife's work, too.

I find them both very educational. They both have great reviews as professors, it looks like their students genuinely really liked and respected them. It's a shame they had to resign but I enjoy their YouTube videos now.

Like many pay sites, you get a few for free each month.  I, too, have hit my limit and they want money to see the whole story.

I could copy and paste but it's against the TOS it seems?

Brief pastes are allowed.  A paragraph or two would be well within limits I'm sure, provided they are properly quoted.
