Consent in the Case of Russell Brand: The 351st Evolutionary Lens w/Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying

On this, our 351st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss Russell Brand: his history, his character, his recent convictions and sentencing. What does consent mean in the modern era—is it a concept that can possibly do what it needs to do? Other concepts under discussion are rape, statute of limitations, charisma, and redemption. Then: how a story of a failed co-op reveals deep divides.
