On The DarkHorse Podcast, we will explore questions that matter, with tools that work. Weekly episodes of "The Evolutionary Lens" are co-hosted with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, in which we use an evolutionary toolkit to reveal patterns in nature--including human nature. Guest episodes feature Bret hosting long form discussions. Some guests are well known, others obscure, but all are chosen because they have demonstrated unusual insight. The state and future of civilization will be a recurring theme, so buckle up!

Ep. 233
A comment you made about Twitter/X-bots not having any original content inspired me to reach out. I am not a bot but if you look though my account it’s filled with retweets and no original content. I use Twitter/X to see what people are posting but I myself do not post for fear I could get in trouble or even fired. I carefully craft any comments I do write. I’m a teacher in a public school and often feel I have to hide my political views from others given a large number of my coworkers are very far left. I don’t know how many people like me exist but I can’t be the only one.
I enjoy your content and am edified by it. Please keep speaking up about the problems you see in the world.

Conspiracy nonsense
Utter nonsense - don’t waste your time.
You need to do your homework
I have been listening to this podcast for a year. Today I am done. Since you insist on spewing your opinions on workers compensation maybe you should understand the system at least in your own state. Most of their money is spent trying to prove people who are actually injured are faking it. I watched my husband whose case was very clear go through years of them trying to find a way around treating him. They do this to every one who files a claim. They fight and try to deny every diagnostic test to try to figure out what is wrong but will authorize pain pills. They have a full bench of doctors that do nothing but evaluate people and say they are fine when they aren’t. They spend millions trying to prove people are faking it. Your ignorant opinion and calling injured people losers makes me sick. Had Washington L&I spent a fraction of the money on diagnostic tests and treatment the likelihood of him fully recovering was good. By the time he had taken them to court for the 4th time and they gave up it was to late to repair the damage. I will be deleting you from my podcast list.
