Bret Weinstein just said something that won’t leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding.
Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.
Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected.
Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.
And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.
Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?
Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.
Watch it all the way through, then tell me — honestly — does this explain the absolute intensity we’re seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?
Real answers only. Quote-post if it hits you in the chest like it hit me.
@conservmillen It's hard for sane people to understand how the evil convince normal people to tout their policies and you've explained it well here. Self righteousness and a feeling of a more sophisticated moral superiority. Just bought your book.
@swelteduniverse@MXGRyan It's not just the terrible announcing, it's also the cameras which is effecting you. Zooming in on one bike so close that you can't tell what section he's in isn't watching racing. Split screens, interviews, rambling accents...
@NotSoLiveTiming@MXGRyan The pattern shows that everyone that watches on mute is fine with the broadcasters. I wonder what prompted them to start muting?
@AdamCianciarulo RDL and night show. Stop following one guy around for multiple laps while telling stories. And zoom out. Watching 1 bike close up is not exciting. Spotters should dictate the cameras, not cameras dictate the broadcast commentary.
@GuntherEagleman No, it's not incompetence, it's evil corruption and every time we call it incompetence or stupidity, we rid them of the guilt of intent. And the intent (motive) is always what leads to the truth.
@Jason66Thomas No. Giving credit now that they've all been given orders to call out what they've seen over and over for 3 years is just taking the bait. This was the plan all along, including the scripted post debate show.
@Jason66Thomas@JasonWeigandt@BondoTV@kenadelson@supermotocross JT, you're doing a really great job, but why won't anyone take the other issues seriously? Camera work, split screens, repeating the same old lines every week, storytelling instead of calling action and the camera zoomed in on one bike.

@JBiz3121@FightHaven Soon, we'll have problems big enough that these things won't matter. Until then, these distractions allow us to not notice the train coming.
@LewisPhillips71@JBiz3121 The depth of the field should lend a little more to the Webb, Tomac, Sexton performances as well as the wins and title of the last handful of years. No more coming through the pack, no more making mistakes and still winning, no more 20sec leads.
@stkirsch Holding every candidate to standards of perfection is a conservative problem. We tear down our own over things we do ourselves when we're competing against absolute devils. Trump is the only one acknowledging the fight is between good and evil. It is.
