Media failures in the lead-up to the 2020 election should sound alarm bells for their coverage of the 2024 race. I spoke to Semafor editor-in-chief Ben Smith ahead of the first Trump-Biden debate. We cover the Julian Assange plea deal, my shareholder activism at BuzzFeed, and the revival of institutional purpose.

In this 231st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. In this week’s episode, we discuss the Supreme Court’s decision in Biden v Missouri, and its implications for free speech and censorship; the presidential debate that will exclude Kennedy; and the release of Julian Assange—all possible tactics to control public conversation. Also: what does an AI deep fake of Dave Chappelle suggest about the future of comedy, and the role of humor in human interactions? Finally: a meandering tale of cars, border guards, and leaping water vipers, culminating in discussion of new research out of Madagascar on jumping leeches. ***** Our sponsors: Pique’s Nandaka is a delicious mushroom, tea, and chocolate drink that provides all day energy.

Julian Assange is a free man (as far as we're being told) after taking a plea deal offered by the Biden Administration. Something seems fishy here but maybe it's just me. What do you think? Steve Poikonen is back to discuss - he has been working on the Free Julian Assange movement for years. Please leave any questions below.
