Bret Weinstein talks about his brother Eric Weinstein 

Oh, there's two of them. I thought it was the same guy with a different haircut.

When I was little, I thought conversations between grownups are more or less like this. I can watch the two gentlemen talking all day. Thanks for your podcasts, Lex.

The deeper you get into Biology, it becomes Chemistry. The deeper you get into Chemistry, it becomes Physics. The deeper you get into Physics, it becomes Math.

Just wait until you hear about the third brother named Harvey

I really thought Bret was the older brother

In rare moments when i wish i had a brother it hits me hard, breaks my heart. I grew up with that void for a long time (didnt realize) until i met someone in 2012-2016. Messed it up because i was not ready and was going thru a lot. Since then i have been working hard on myself hard so that when the universe opens me up to that experience again i will crash it!

Nice, Bret isn’t incomprehensible in conversation like Eric is.

Ahhhh ok, that's why I was mixing these two up in my mind, they are brothers 😆

Eric is a very unlikable person.

Both are brilliant, but I think Bret might possess the highest combination of both emotional and cognitive intelligence that I've recognized. He is an absolute genius yet seems highly self-aware, extremely controlled, and flat-out comfortable in every social setting I've seen him in. Would love to meet either of them, Eric is hyper intelligent too, he just seems unaware or maybe even unwilling to attempt at repackaging his thoughts for people when his delivery isn't concise enough to digest, due to his tendency to poorly articulate most of his more complex ideas. Both are a fascinating individuals to listen to, nonetheless.

Late in the view. I must say these brothers are among my treasured voices to listen to at such a time as this. Thank you for this interview!

I can’t help but think of the Christopher Hitchens vs. Peter Hitchens brother rivalry. I would really love to know what Christopher Hitchens thinks about the current state of western society.

Hi Lex, just want to say your discussions are very enjoyable and stimulating. Great work.

I love lex for having these brothers on his shows. I would just love to sit down and be able to talk to them.

That conversation between the brothers was very revelatory of 'character'. Bret and Heather clearly made a decision to take up work that was in an environment that would be conducive to raising children, rather than based on Bret seeking ego gratification or recognition. Eric didn't consider that for a minute. I have to wonder whether or not Eric hired people to raise his children because doing so would take time away from his 'maths'. Bret, you took it in stride...another indication of superior character.

Why hasn’t JRE uploaded their episode or highlights on YT? Although heard it it in Spotify, YT is more far reaching.

The elephant in the room at family get togethers: cousin Harvey.......

Two amazing guys who have each taught me so much (via YT). I have to admit, I'm a little biased to Brett but my brain literally hurts after either one speak for too long. :-) Next level stuff.

Eric Weinstein is one of my favorite guys to listen to right now! He’s bloody awesome.

The crucial link which connects the fundamental world of physics with the emergent world of Biology is Chemistry. Chemistry takes matter, obeys the laws of physics and makes matter live. The holy trinity of consciousness? Physics is the ingredients. Chemistry is the recipe. Biology is the dish.

Fusion power will not be dumped on the market but dumped in the bin too much money to lose.

Eric is the more obnoxious brother. I like Bret more

Notable historical brothers that more should be said & known of. There is no malice in their pursuit for betterment of all. It is scary to those that see only maliciousness succeeds, and take that road. Thx Lex & Bret

It was so beautiful ! I am glad to hear your podcast Lex

Lex consistently misses the point

All the comments saying people kept wondering why this guy looks different every time they see him, only to realize that there’s 2 of them and they’re brothers, are so adorable.

Wish my older brother had been more like Eric.

Love Bret and his brother Eric. Reminds me of the relationship I have with my brother.

What a wholesome clip

And his disowned brother Harvey

Love is never having to explain why, how, when, or what. But ceaselessly striving to.

Wait! Are we 100% sure this isn’t Michael Malice dressed up as Brett?

I've been following Bret Weinstein since 2019, and my brother has been following Eric Weinstein since last year. Whenever we talked about our Weinsteins we just assumed we were talking about the same one, until one day my brother started talking about his theories on Physics, and I was like.. "what?? that's not what he talks about." Then I sent him a video of Bret Weinstein, and we discovered that we were talking about 2 different Weinsteins, so we exchanged our Weinsteins and now we are fascinated with both of them. xD xD xD True story!!

Hey Lex, what happens if you don't get invited to appear in the next MiB movie?

Fusion power run by AI . . . . . what could possibly go wrong ? We made a God, and gave it all the dynamite.

He’s right completely threw me off I thought they were the same person😂

Summarizing (once more) the most beautiful, original, and resonant essence of this video: "The Fundamentals of the Fundamental [and the Basic], the Fundamentals of the Emergent [and the Complex], and the Subtle, Sublime, and Formidable [Cosmic, Epistemic, and Existential/[R]Evolutionary] Highway In-Between...". What a high-quality (quintessential) resonance and delivery of pure thought and authentic individuation, of "thinking about thinking" and hence true epistemological, dialectical, and scientific meta-analysis. "Poessa". The scene, sense, and seat of poetry. A Mobius-like trip (twist) through the infinite and infinitesimal -- and the finite and trans-finite. Science, conscience, and cognizance. Pure intellectual and (trans-)humanistic delicacy, with all its pain and sublimation, tragedy and geniality, alienation and profundity. Thank you so much, Lex and Bret (and Eric, Heather, and more).

I would like to be invited to a Weinstein family Thanksgiving. I'm sure that's pretty fun.

Any relation to Harvey?

That is beautiful. I hope my sons turn out that way. "I love him because he my brother. But he is also awesome."

I had to look it up because of The Joe Rogan experience there's two of them 😮😮 , two geniuses from the same....

All this time I thought bret and eric was the same person

Bret and Eric share the same brillo pad wig

Did he mention his brother Harvey? 🤔

That was wonderful. I didn't realise they were brothers until this interview... so - thanks for starters!

So representative of family dynamics the world over - the driven thinker and the loveable one. We can't fix the birth order.

This clip made me so happy…so glad you put me on to the both of them lex…thank you 🙏

I enjoy both the Weinstein brothers. Miss Eric's cool talks. He's such an intelligent guy.

I just realized i've been watching two different people 🤯

"I do not want to outsource that to AI"...... so good.

I would love to hear Eric Weinstein's opinion on Dr Douglas Frank's discovery of an algorithm. He might find the flaw or serve to validate the truth.

Huge admirer of your work and the ideals to put forth into the world Lex. Thank you

All I know is don't bring up the Rotatoe in conversation with Eric.

I'm simple, I thought he just shaved his beard.ya that's my bad.

Is it bad that I only just realised that there was two weinsteins I thought they were the same guy hahah

...the beautiful thing that is us??? seriously? 😂😂😂😂

Have they thought that the ratio is at times how many given people will randomly go against the social morale choice?

How nice it is when a man speaks about his brother and smiles.

I love the Weinstein Brothers. Brilliant men

What an amazing sibling relationship 😍🎉❤️

OMG there are 2 of them???

Very important discussion at the end. How much is auto-pilot, how much is collusion? Well, the third option is not being sure and leaning toward giving a party the benefit of the doubt because you don’t have sufficient evidence. It is important to discover why things happened, so hopefully they don’t happen again. Transparency is key.

This clip is so priceless.

And here I thought one was special 😜

The Bros Weinstein are an interesting pair, good question Lex

The opposite of fundamental is ... emergent. That is blowing my mind right now

But what has Eric ever done?

Let, Eric and Bret please form a political party and bring on Josh.

HA I thought they were the same person!

Fuck, thought they were the same dude.

4:53 i 50/50 agree. AI will lead the way in scientific breakthroughs however we as humans only need to develop the instruments and detectors for AI to make calculated measurements and observations.

INTP vs INTJ. This clip has a tremendous epistemological value. Kant vs Nietzsche, Parmenides vs Heraclitus. Da Vinci vs Tesla. Impossible to say who is more important. The real value is the tension created and the resultant creativity.

4:17 this comment by Lex is far fetched in the next 10 years. Probably in the next 50-100 years, possible. We would not call them AI, probably computation theory. That's about it.

Bret is much better when he is paired up with Heather. Eric and Bret aren't a great a combination for me. They seem to have a victim complex when they speak together. Eric seems more interested in giving smart names to things then really explaining anything.

The weinsteins are some clout trout's

I like Bret. I do not like Eric. I can't put my finger on why exactly, but I really don't like him.

You totally agree with you lex!

If you're arguing with Brett or Eric Weinstein, the movement toward a common understanding indicates they are becoming more correct, while you are becoming less wrong.

Eric “…………dictates from the W.H.O…………” Pete Townshend “ eh, somebody say summink? “

I would love to be a fly in the room just to hear Eric and Bret just sit around and “shoot the sh*t.”

What an awesome segment! How is it possible not to love this man Bret? ... and by extension, Eric.

Bret makes Eric look normal. Eric is way to out there with his ideas.

THE GREEN SQUARE

They're like Mario and Wario

One good theory is not more important; each is equally important. A theory is an ideal or hypothetical set of facts, not something set in stone.

There is no "we." There is no universal "wisdom" when it comes to how a free human should live their life.

I always thought this was one guy who I just saw some videos from now, and some from a time where he was dying his hair.

Much love from Germany

Please explain likelihood of emmergence of Delta “variant”

I read it at first as Jeffrey Epstein. I'll get my coat...

I didn't realize these are 2 different people. *(forehead slap)*

*Eric Weinstein is a genie*

Has anyone ever seen "both brothers" in the same room????

Kind of never really answered Lex’s question with regards to where has he been able to change his brothers mind. No real examples given. I found it rather disappointing.

lex, did u really write that final question ?

Bla bla bla

My dumb*ss thought they’re the same person.

Eric summarized: Massive ego, massive chip on shoulder, Dunning Krueger personified, dying to be accepted as a serious intellectual by other useless intellectuals. Edit: what has Eric Weinstein ever done? Has he invented anything? Something like the rotato even?
