Regarding Bret Weinstein. I find him to be a more academic type of Bill Maher, who once the full consequences of his ideas become manifest in the culture, expresses shock at the results. The progressive left for at least 150 years has tried to substitute Brilliance for Experience. Having succeeded they now surprised and dismayed at what is happening around them, asserting that this is not what they advocated. But what is happening is a direct and inevitable consequence of their ideas. In the West they have broken and destroyed the institutions of Experience that have sustained us for millennium, and that can't be fixed. Our hope lies with those more traditional cultures who value Experience over Brilliance.
Nonetheless, chastened Progressives often have interesting observations to make from their time being part of the Select. But I wouldn't trust them to understand how we got here and how to fix it.

Chastened Progressives are few and far between.
Bill Mayer or Bill Maher? And if it is Mayer, who is he?
Just curious. . .
Maher, since corrected. Thanks for catching that.
