I Can’t Overstate How Dire This Is | Bret Weinstein

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report" talks to Bret Weinstein about the decline of enlightenment liberalism; whether tribalism is Western civilization’s future; why Western civilization has been reversing course on racial equality; the missteps of the New Atheists and the challenge of reconciling past wisdom with modern problems; the societal consequences of rapid progressivism; the arbitrary nature and pointlessness of a lot of our education; the unintended impacts of discarding established norms; the human tendency to focus on immediate problems while avoiding thoughtful analysis to avoid unintended chaos; the need for a balanced approach that respects both conservative and progressive instincts in societal evolution; Elon Musk's unexpected role in the Twitter free speech battle; his personal meeting with Musk and Musk subsequently blocking him; the challenges faced by individuals who have strengths like courage and insight but who struggle to collaborate effectively; and much more.
