Eric Weinstein On UFOs - “There Is Way More To This Story Than We Know”

Does 1x1=2? Is the periodic table wrong? Are all conspiracies wrong? Are experts failing us? While there is no clear answer to these questions, it is clear that there is a growing public distrust of experts and institutions, and even more clear that this has severe consequences for society and science. Join me and my colleague Eric Weinstein as we explore this in the context of Terrance Howard’s appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. We dig deep into the reasons for this skepticism, from political pressures to historical deceptions, and hypothesize potential solutions! Eric Weinstein is an American mathematician at Thiel Capital, Peter Thiel's investment firm. He is the host of the Portal Podcast Though not an academic physicist, he proposed a unified theory of physics in 2013. He and his brother Bret Weinstein coined the term Intellectual Dark Web to refer to an informal group of pundits. Eric is a vocal critic of modern academic hierarchies and advocates for advances in scientific theory over an emphasis on experimental results. We discuss funding, academic freedom, and theoretical vs experimental physics.

Eric Weinstein - Why Can No One Agree On The Truth Anymore? Eric Weinstein - Why Can No One Agree On The Truth Anymore? The last 3 years has been a time of massive confusion.

Expect to learn what you learn from being around the most rich and powerful people in the world, what it was like to meet Jeffrey Epstein face to face, what Eric thinks about the recent surge in UFO disclosures, his thoughts on Sam Harris’ recent episode with me, whether the downfall of physics and academia is the nail in the coffin for humanity, the biggest issues with having easy access to porn, how women could take a bigger role in the crisis of masculinity and much more...

Nov 3, 2024 Dr. Eric Weinstein, one of America’s leading public intellectuals, sits down to discuss the fall of his once cherished Democrat Party. With days to go until the election he shares his frustration at what the party has become. He shares his deep contempt for the mainstream media and how they attacked him for his association with JD Vance, Trump’s VP pick. Dr Weinstein shares his anger at the farcical nature of the election. He tells me about his deep love for England, his admiration for British physicists, and his love of music, even pulling out his grandfather’s mandolin. -------------------------------------------- Chapters 00:00 - Introduction: The Political Divide in America 9:23 - Masculinity, Identity, and the Democratic Party 25:04 - The Cultural Shift in Gender and Family Dynamics 40:13 - Political Partisanship and the Decline of Marriage 55:02 - The Rise of the "Unity Project" and Political Alliances 1:10:07 - Vaccines, Science, and the Security State 1:25:14 - Questioning Media Integrity and Bias 1:40:01 - America’s Role and the Need for Ethical Leadership 2:00:23 - Closing Thoughts: The Future of American Politics Eric Weinstein - “We’re NOT Having An Election This Year!” | The Winston Marshall Show #033 https://youtu.be/hlrZo4p3_rk?si=dtN3h7bSgC4QrHDg

Relaxing on a Saturday night reacting to Eric Weinstein interviewed by Chris Williamson. The deep state topic does come up a time or two :)

The scientific method—and the very notion of "expert consensus"—once thrived on fearless inquiry and open debate. In the US today, dissenting ideas are systematically silenced, stifling progress and threatening trust in our institutions. Nicole Shanahan is joined by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Stanford professor and co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration; Eric Weinstein, mathematician and creator of “Geometric Unity”; and Mike Benz, a leading advocate for internet freedom. They explore the fragile state of free speech, and the weaponization of “cancellation” to enforce conformity. Originally aired: Wednesday, August 7th https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhUZ-xu_M4o

Eric Weinstein is a mathematician, economist, former managing director of Thiel Capital and a podcaster. It's a rough time to be a human. The massive increase in information we have access to has made understanding the world harder, not easier. Whether it's higher education, culture, physics, or pretty much anything else, life can be very confusing. Expect to learn what Eric thinks about the most recent furore coming out of Harvard, why the world of physics has made no progress in decades, why Jeffrey Epstein was interested in Stephen Hawking, how much truth there is in the recent flurry of stories about inter-dimensional extraterrestrials, Eric's predictions for the 2024 election and much more...
