VanMan Natural Health Products

On this, our 318th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss how to understand our universe: through logic, intuition, and probability, through keeping track of what we believe, and being willing to change our minds. Avoiding certainty is difficult, but necessary. Using examples of who killed Charlie Kirk, and whether the venue where he was speaking suggests black magic, we discuss how to make sense of the world in a scientific way. Meanwhile in Washington: a $1 bill is booked into evidence. ***** Our sponsors: Vanman: Go to https://vanman.shop/darkhorse26 and use code DARKHORSE26 for 15% off your first order.
