I watched that, 3 weeks ago or whenever. I didn't see what you see.
I think Bret understands the principle of natural selection, and how it necessarily affects everything, and he thinks in game-theoretic terms. So he uses that evolutionary lens to get insights into all kinds of things outside of the field of zoology. Which is a quite useful cross-disciplinary talent. It doesn't mean he will come up with the right answers on everything though and I don't agree with all of his stuff. But I don't think he's so far out there as the other names I've mentioned.
I'm an atheist. Their discussion of religion wasn't even interesting to me. But I don't think Bret really came at Tucker's questions from a good angle. I would happily reply to Tucker much more straightforwardly.
