Hey Chris, I've been a long-time fan of your podcast, and I think it would be incredibly insightful and important if you could consider inviting Sashi Tharoor to your channel. With the current state of affairs in India and the growing concerns about rising authoritarianism, there's a pressing need for informed discussions. Mr. Tharoor's expertise and eloquence could shed light on this issue, and discussing the lack of open dialogue around it could be a significant step towards addressing the problem. Please consider this request; it's crucial that we have these conversations. Thanks!
IMO: Part of the problem, which goes almost completely unaddressed, is our cavalier use words. Even the title of this video falls short of being precise in its verbiage. The smartest people on the planet still very often don’t think before speaking, or titling in this case. Hyperbole and sarcasm have become the norm even in “civilized” discourse. These are, however, dishonest forms expression. And they are seductively pernicious. “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” - Dumbledore

[GOD] Created NOTHING, a Void Point in Space. NOTHING Attracts [neighboring] Space as the Only Law of The Nature which gave NOTHING its Property to be the GRAVITATIONAL PARTICLE (GP). Fast Moving Space into GP, Creates its own GP at the [Vacated] Space which Attracts the Surrounding Space. There are 3 Pairs of 2 Directional Possible Movement Axis, this Creates Magic Numbers of the Nature, Numbers 2, 3 and their Sum 5. Propagation of the GPs in a Closed Cyclic Patterns / Locked Loops of GPs Create Collection of Virtual Positions in Space known as Atom, Starting with Hydrogen to EVERYTHING else. Atoms are Connected by Overlapping/Common/Shared (single, double bonds ...) GPs to Create Molecules. Hydrogen Atoms Virtually/Positionally Collect to Form Nitrogen and Oxygen Atoms and Form the Atmosphere, in a 4 Nitrogen to 1 Oxygen ratio which I call one ATMOSPHERIC UNIT (AU).Movement of GP toward the Center of the Gravity Transforms 2 AUs (2(N4O1)) into 6 Carbon with H2O as Hydrogen Transformer and CO2 as State Transformer, the Collection of this Cyclic Process is called LIFE.

People used to sacrifice their lives for the benefit of their children. Now they sacrifice their children's lives for their own benefit. Eric is 100% correct.
I disagree. I think the state. with things like SS, was a major factor. Then we have Liberalism and Feminism attacking the family unit. Those two ideologies are selfish.
He nailed it when he talked about the fact that corporations have pushed consumerism and individualism to such extremes that people don’t care about institutions and don’t trust them, so they have no reason to invest in society at any level, thus you get things like deteriorating social cohesion. No one cares about anyone else really. So people don’t see a reason to contribute to society by having children for example. We have things like woke idealogies being pushed because they fan the flames of unrest. Divide and conquer is the oldest play in the playbook and it’s being played out at a level that’s unprecedented. No one wants to know the truth and then people buy this bullshit that “everyone’s truth is true.” No, truth exists and it’s not debatable. Something either is or isn’t true. That’s called consensus reality. We’ve lost all sense of this so we have no consensus reality anymore. Therefore people can’t even agree on what the problems are anymore and that is a BIG problem. We used to debate solutions not problems. Everyone agreed on the problems for the most part. They only disagreed on the prioritization of the problems and how to best solve them. Without consensus reality there is zero chance finding reasonable solutions. One of the biggest examples is the lying about US elections. Elections are NOT a problem in the US. They just didn’t go one guy’s way and he had the power to bulkshit half the population. So now many US states are attempting to “fix” elections. Give me a f’n break.
@@DomenicT I disagree. The logical push for consumerism is because our debt based currency destroys savings. Money no longer increases in value. So you have to spend it before it can no longer buy you what it did yesterday.
@@DomenicTElections are a BIG issue! The Dems have cheated in so many proveable ways, that unless we crack down on the illegality of it, we will be stuck in slavery under a tyrannical despot forever! Hillary and Obama were caught for wiretapping Trump Towers, Russia Hoax, Fake Dossier, destroying evidence, selling Russia 25% of US Uranium etc etc so Basement Joe was just an escalation of the ELECTION INTERFERENCE! How are these false indictments not also Election Interference?! Invoices for the printed Fake Ballots, videos of them reinputing the same ballots for Biden repeatedly! Affidavits from the people paid to fill out the Fake Ballots! Mules dropping off bulk fake ballots in those damn Drop Boxes! 4x8 sheets of plywood were put up, covering the witnesses window to observe the counts!!! They said they stopped counting at 10pm Election Night when President Trump was way ahead and should have been declared the WINNER that night!!! Did you not even watch how they refused to give Trump the states he was ahead in, while Biden was given states he was only 2 points ahead in?!😮 This is a tyrannical gov ignoring our laws and Constitution to destroy America and usher in Communism as they are bought and paid for by China!
I’m a high school dropout hair dresser listening to two brilliant humans. I don’t understand all, but enough. To me, this is the beauty of the internet, sitting in on a conversation I would never have been exposed to. Thank you both. I try to watch Eric and Brent when possible. As a mom of 5 teenagers, the end part about men, I’d like to share, don’t underestimate how many parents ARE getting it right. JP is my hero and I send his clips to my kids (particularly my 3 boys 13-19). When Eric talked about parents not loving their kids and putting them first, that’s what makes the broken adults today. I think it’s our duty to call out parents (our friends/peers) when they are not doing right by their children, and I think you know what I mean.
Well said! I agree. However, most everyone is "out to lunch," and they do not know it. Calling out those who are clueless is useless. Most believe that they already have their answers. (You are an exception. Bravo for being self aware.) ❤❤
I am not a high school drop out but I spent my life as a working stiff and I totally get your point. I was thinking the same thing that here I am, eating my breakfast and listening to a conversation between to brilliant men and that, in itself, is just amazing. The fact that I understand even a small part of it is equally amazing.
Hey Steph, I spent two thirds of my life being educated or doin it to others and I'm of the same mind as you as regards the value of this conversation. When I was pretending to be a family man, like you I tried expose my stepdaughter to music or ideas which were stretch-goals. She often surprised me with her interpretations. You sound like a fine person, if I had any hair left I'd like to have it done by a grounded, benevolent person like you. ps. my sister was a high school dropout. When both her kids had finished uni she gave it a try, and then took up a hard-core career as a social-worker. Don't put yourself down on that score, though I know many morons will. I used to produce them: I know what their opinions are worth.
You're so much more than a high school dropout you're a human being who's hungry to learn and grow and you chose a profession that's a service to others so you have a servant's heart which is beautiful please don't ever sell yourself short a person is not the same total of their education or their social standing or their wealth those things don't matter who are as a person does
Those "helpless" little white children being scarred because they need to learn the truth about black history in America..... People actually believe that crap.
One of the most critical and difficult moments I have ever experienced in my life was when I began to realize how much of what I thought I knew or believed to be the truth was total BS; and once you rip the blinders off, you can’t unsee what you’ve seen; you can’t forget what you’ve learned; you can’t go back to that “ignorance is bliss” state of mind. And as much as I would rather know the truth, there are times when I still find myself feeling like I’m in the Matrix, and questioning my own ability to know what is real and what is BS. At 58 years old, this is a very unsettling feeling.
I also share your thoughts. I almost feel frozen in time after realizing all the lies and corruption happening around the world on the daily. It is my belief that the people or entities responsible for bringing all this pain and suffering will soon be eradicated from the earth with the forces of good winning the battle over evil in this spiritual psy-op war
@@Vexlore The comment that @beklerken1 wrote is so true. If you can't see what is happening in our world and how it's run I am sorry for you. Orwells statement was written years ago, but is mindbogglingly frighteningly true, we ARE living in it now
@@chriscaine7689 Revolutionary acts require more than the simple explanation of truth. It requires structural transitional propositions based on the present facts. And also require a political capital expressed in organized form. That is why the truth and organized government are the target. Government can be taken over in power grab actions just as the right is trying to presently. But is not absolute power what they have . Every change provokes a resistance . We are resisting more than they are grabbing power.
My children are in their 40's and their grandchildren are entering their teens. They have travelled the world but now all live within 10 minutes of my wife and I and we are an integral part of their lives, babysitting, watching their sport, helping with school and home projects.. How can anyone think this is a bad thing?
Forcing children to move out of the house at 18, having them attend boarding summer camps that are hundreds of miles away, having them attend universities in other states, then having them permanently move and raise their family hundreds of miles from you were probably the worst American inventions ever. Which is why most other parts of the world did not copy those American inventions.
Eric is sooooooooo right about the schools. I am 72. 40 years ago, we were being warned by universities and politicians that the students in the USA were being dumbed down. There were dire warnings being SHOUTED. And it was so true. I was very young when I heard this but never could have understood the degree to which they were right.
I know. Even those who profess to their brilliance are the dummies.. They were pampered and don't even know how stupid they are. Sadly during the illness they were the 1st to be under mass physcosis. Still happening. The c limit religious cult has decided that we are the C o 2. That which we need to grow life. We exhaust it.. we r using bio tech for the wrong reason. Not to benefit but to eliminate ppl worship virgin earth and want to build Babylon we aren't invited. Mass extinction of hu mans..under way..using knowledge to destroy.
Who were they trying to kid? The universities and politicians WANT people to be dumbed down. The universities are now the locus of half of what is wrong with this country and the politicians are the other half. Academics sat by as their institutions were corroded and eroded by the woke mind virus and it's because most of them were infected themselves.
We are the same age! You are absolutely correct. It's a "long game", that our foes play & we are watching the HORROR SHOW unfold right before our eyes‼️ HOW can people be so blind?😢
I'm 64 years old. I was a single mom. Raised my children to be able to survive and stand on their own feet,especially in a crisis. We are in a spiritual battle with the forces of good and evil.
I don’t take this lightly when saying that I believe this is one of, if not the best podcast episodes I have ever listened to. The range of topics, the nuanced discussion, everything in between. The questions, the answers the dialogue. A true masterclass in podcasting. Well done Chris. Your success is earned absolutely.
Yeah there's something about Eric that is a gift to humanity and Chris knows how to bring out the best in him. Kinda like Elton John and Bernie Taupin. What we need and I realize this is a fools errand or phantom, is someone like us that truly appreciates what is being said and actually is in a position and motivated to do something about it.
Seems like every conversation Eric has changes perspectives because he’s willing to move with the data and take a new approach each time. So refreshing
It's amazing how when I listen to Eric, I seem to understand and become more confused at the same time lol. Love this pod, hope the guests and topics stay random! Keep up the good work.
One of the best conversations I’ve ever listened to, and I am an old man. The ability of these men to listen for understanding , ask for clarification, admit there deficiencies, such an amazing example of how one should try to communicate, let alone the amazing material content. I’m a little bit blown away. “ Please tell me more“, will be my new conversational breaker. F’ing brilliant.
This is the kind of conversation that's possible between two brilliant people that aren't wasting time trying to show each other (or anyone else) how smart they are. Or something like that.
I was about to post essentially the same sentiment. I wish I could have been in the room for this. Oh yeah. And I'm 68. It's been a long time since I've heard such intelligent conversation.
I love the way the two of you interact with each other: "Tell me more about that" "I'm not sure I follow, explain what you mean" - and lots of pregnant pauses while you think in real time. So many lessons to use in everyday life. thank you!
A pregnant pause is a pause in talking to give the impression of pausing because of the surprise of what's just been said and/or a pause in speaking to give the impression of thinking out how to say something very serious. A pause that is so full of anticipation it's like a pregnant belly.
Humans are attracted to beauty and beauty is seen in symmetry. Humanity in general is attracted to beauty because we are beings of nature. On a binary plane like the internet, an app is created to artificially mimic beauty by connecting us as humanity. We are creatures of observation so when we gaze at our screens and view artificially planted subjective beauty content. I think this is a unique consequence of the creation of and assimilation of social media. The consequence is derived from beauty and the internet perverts it.
The scariest thing about seeing the fascade for what it is isn't seeing those in control, it's seeing everyone around you move like sheep being corralled. Their movements make no logical sense and are self-destructive and they can't explain why they're doing it, and they laugh at you when you warn them.That's terrifying.
Indeed! I have always told my girls that if they are the smartest humans in the room, they should find a new room. I think Ive found my new room! He is fascinating! 3 hours is not enough!
This must be the best podcast episode I’ve ever witnessed. So refreshing to FINALLY hear someone of repute, state and acknowledge the OBVIOUS madness, of the past few years. Very VERY good episode! Thank you
Hundreds of public intellectuals and pundits have been decrying the same things he has, but don't have to use arcane physics and economics jargon to make themselves look smarter than everyone else.
@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 not to mention creating fake mysteries such as calling Jeffrey Epstein a construct when the interviewer called him a plant just replacing words with other words that mean essentially the same thing. It gets very confusing trying to follow what he's saying and then working it back towards some sort of mossad connection. There are people that just do bad stuff it doesn't always have to be a conspiracy.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 He's a mathematician. It's how he thinks. I doubt the idea was to promote his intellect as opposed to trying to convey an idea in things he understands.
I’m one of those waitresses. I have been for 35 years. Raised 2 kids the right way. I sacrificed a lot for them being a single mom.They’re adults now and I’m proud of them. They’ve done well. I’ve found as I’ve grown older, my need for “stuff” is gone. I don’t have much and don’t feel like there’s anything I need as far as material things to be happy. I’m always amazed when I think about how little I need to live a decent life. Im 55 with no retirement. That’s the only thing that scares me. I can’t wrap my head around people who have millions or billions. How much is enough? If I had that kind of money I’d be a philanthropist.
To hoard money seems like one of the most criminal things a person could do. It's worth nothing unless you spend it, and if others need it, those with much should help those with little
@@Lalapizzle if you have the money you most likely worship it and would die without it. That's why you see so many rich that lose their money take their own life.
You wouldn't believe how I get called "enabling" "co dependant" ummm coodling my 19 yr old daughter because she still lives with me. By my parents! And that's fine. My kids are my favorite people. I will not, EVER shut my door. Matter of fact if we can get property (wishful dream at this point) together.... thats what we're doing. Yes be independent, yes go explore but I will continue to be a safe container for my children- I've stayed strong in my recovery because I can continue to be of service to my family. So much me, me, me is like Eric said- an old outdated idea- that did not work!❤🎉
Eric is back from a 3 week vacation and is just over it. We're finally starting to hear from the the ones worth listening to that this madness actually needs to stop. 10/10 interview.
yup, just dont be drawn into thinking too much of the guy. he's either an oblivious fool or a sketchy p.o.s. it's been well-documented by whitney webb & others that epstein was indeed an astute financial broker (either before or alongside of his sexual trafficking & blackmail). he was part of one of the largest ponzi schemes in US history prior to madoff. he helped bill gates/microsoft & the clinton foundation (for just 2 examples) figure out how to launder money thru their "charities." so eric's insistence, time and time again, that he just doesnt believe epstein had a financial mind is either malicious obfuscation or idiocy.
@@DreamseedVR Any individual who meets with Ep after he was convicted for child sex offences, is culpable. I have witnessed Erics flamboyant expose on the matter and his efforts to abjugate himself. Pathetic if it were not so disturbing.
Thank you for your enlightened discussion. At 83 years of age I abide to the best of what culture has to offer. The rest of cantankerous humanity I avoid with a passion. As a woman I despise what Feminism has done to men. I bet there are more women like myself of like opinion.
Indeed, there are many. At 53, I am most definitely of the same opinion. Hubby and I moved to a rural location where we can’t even see our neighbors. We know them and we’re all friends out here, much like it was in the 1950’s - everyone knows each other, watches out for each other, keeps eyes on each other’s kids…& we’re all there to help each other at the drop of a hat. And between those friendly, meaningful & beneficial interactions, we’re all very happy to not be immersed in the appropriately termed “cantankerous humanity”. I’ve all but lost hope for this country (planet?). The event(s) it would require to bring us back to the way society used to interact with each other...is not nice to think about, to say the least.
Yes ma'am. I'm a 63 year old woman who is a traditional homemaker....a career I LOVE! I HATE what feminist have done to the family unit and how they want to emasculate men! I LOVE traditional roles we all participate in within the family. I reject feminist ideology and am holding on tight to God, family values and working towards self sufficiency
@tarantulady8565 my husband and I are working at being self sufficient. I grow a lot of our food and I do a lot of canning. The less I go to the grocery store the happier I am
"It comes out of not loving your children. People who love their children don't drill holes in their childrens life raft". So incredibly accurate and 100% the base cause of everything that is happening.
I wonder if this is borne out of nihilism? Since we understand that nothing will beat entropy, some people think that we shouldn't invest anything to even try?
I remember so well in the 1970s and 80s, all of those motorhomes driven by those retirees of the "Greatest Generation" in their Golden Parachutes and those bumper stickers that read, "We're spending our children's inheritance," and how they voted down education bills to the point that only motivated Leftist wanted the jobs.
I was emotionally and physically abused growing up and I was always scared to communicate with people. I had no confidence and had no father in my life either. I had to raise myself and my 2 younger siblings while experiencing abuse in many forms and a mother who could not control her emotions to teach me anything correct! I’m 34 and just started living on my own at 29! I got into drinking and drugs from no structure and trauma. Drinking n using was the only way I could communicate with people. Thankfully I got sober at 28… I still struggle financially as we all are but my family are poor too. My mom is selfish (Gen X) and my grandparents are gone and they were that same way. I couldn’t even afford to get a lawyer to fight for my kids as their mother controls when or how I see them and get to spend time with them. My life has been a shit show but I still wake up, remember to be happy and try my best everyday! I won’t let my past dictate my future! I am in complete control of my destiny. I barely get by financially but I am happy! I don’t let the “worldly” things dictate my happiness. We are in some crazy times and I’m terrified to see politics in 30 yrs!!! The world today is a mess and one big party while the ship is sinking rapidly! All I can say is get right!! Know something big is going to come and embrace it all. We have no other choice. Much love.
You know it is Jesus Christ that we must get right with. He made you with so much of Himself in you. The satans did those things to you to try to turn you from your faith. Please be bold in your testimony. It will save the souls you are here to save. ❤️🔥 love you, family!
You have a choice, always! Get to know your Creator! Our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS THE CHRIST! He is the REAL DEAL! Accept that JESUS THE CHRIST is GOD the Creator and died on the Cross for (your)Our Sins! But you must Really Believe it, with a Pure Heart! And you Will be Saved! Then Repent of your ways and Obey The LORD JESUS and He will Bless you with the HOLY SPIRIT To Show you the WAY! To ALL Things RIGHTEOUS, LOVING And True HAPPINESS In CHRIST JESUS! I Pray this For YOU AND All My Brothers and Sisters! 🙏😇❤ Tu paesano gaetano Triplegggman
I'll be honest I've tried to watch interviews with Eric before, but his intelligence is usually above my pay grade. But this was such an incredible interview, he definitely reeled me in at the start with his outlook on his children. As the child of immigrant parents I have the exact same philosophy with our kids and my fully American husband now sees that as the best way to raise our kids as well. He said so many profound things I kept finding myself rewinding to make sure I heard and comprehended every word. His last couple of minutes were so on point! Loved this!!!!
The beauty of a podcast is that you can pause it. If there's anything said you have trouble getting your head around. Pause and focus on the segment and do some searching about. Whenever something is too difficult, break it down into manageable pieces 😤
He's not intelligent. He didn't have one original or thought provoking point. Everything he said is exactly what a Christian hating, Unpatriotic fake Jew would say. He wants to censor speech and his idea of a great society is one where he doesn't have to reference a Constitution that our great forefathers created already.
Eric is the most fascinating person I've ever heard speak. I can't believe I sat through the entire 3 plus hours of this show. You basically did the full "Dances with Wolves" movie in a single podcast and somehow made it more interesting than any film I've seen in years. Congratulations on your channel. SUBSCRIBED.
From the tone and content of your comment, I’m guessing this is your first exposure to Eric. If I’m right, I’d encourage you to seek out more, as well as his brother Bret. And in particular, one episode of Eric’s Portal podcast with Bret about two years ago wherein he forced Bret to tell the one of the most important untold stories of our day which emerged from Bret’s research. You described him as fascinating; he is endlessly so. He will repeat themes, but very rarely says the same thing (in the same way) twice. He expresses complexity without being complicated.
@@stvbrsn Yes, you are correct. Although I've heard Eric's name before, this is the first time I've ever heard him speak. My soul has been hungry for content such as this. For starters, Eric is great a stopping and thinking about every word he is about to speak. This makes him fascinating to listen to. Secondly, Chris is a very intelligent young man who listens to people speak. He is like Joe Rogan in that he allows the guest to speak without interrupting. But Chris is definitely more intelligent than Joe in that he can contribute more context or ask great follow up questions. I love it when each of them stop the conversation with the phrase "go deeper", or "talk more about that." I will definitely be seeking out much more from Eric Weinstein as well as Chris's podcast.
@@caruccjw Yes, you definitely need a few cups of coffee and listen to him someplace where you can concentrate uninterrupted. His words require a lot of thought on the listener.
"If the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor today, we would spend 10 years discussing whether it was a false flag, whether it was actually the Japanese, whether there was any attack, whether it was a sound stage, whether it was a psyop..." It's sad but true! 😅 EDIT: The replies to this comment are actually doing this, smh...🤦♂
I love this conversation so much. I don't know how I am only seeing it 7 months in the future from when it took place. I respected Chris and Eric a lot already but this upped to level of which I do. Chris's concept of "The Epidemic of Uncertainty" is as Eric said "brilliant" and the best explanation I've ever heard of 5th Generational Warfare, and... the backfire of the outcome they had anticipated. That description is exactly what I've (and I assume many of us) have been trying to put into words for the last 4 years. 👏I love Eric's response to it as well as him getting into the why so many of us are waking up. Eric is one of the most intellectual minds/voices we need in modern times. ♥
It took me a while to warm up to Eric Weinstein. I've seen him on Lex Friedman, on Rogan, here and there and every time I listen, I become more intrigued. He has a way of expressing my own feelings and thoughts about this world. It actually makes me feel comfortable with myself. Thank you Eric Weinstein
Eric has been impossible to understand until now he let slip some tiny glimpse of how his theory is structured Yes this is a big deal after many hours listening 🎉
“Family is weak because the markets are strong” i could not agree more. It’s sad how everyone in our families just move away and have very little contact anymore. I felt this way in the 60’s when older brothers just left to chase stuff and money. 😞
I totally get it when he said "I wasn't prepared for the level of beauty in the Azors ". I spent a week on Eluthera Island Bahamas. Of the 700 islands that make up the Bahamas? This one is nicknamed "the forgotten island". I saw less than 20 other tourists all week. Well, when I got back home (st. Louis), I was thinking about my experience, and I just busted out crying/sobbing uncontrollably ! Face soaked with tears ! It was an incredible thing that I have never experienced before in my 59 years
@@tonyrobbins1665 I've had similar feelings about places , closest to your experience for me was Marathon in the Florida keys, it was other worldly to me. (That was 1999, so it probably wont have the same vibes now.) But don't forget, living there would be entirely different, I did think about if it could be possible but realised pretty quickly it wasn't financially, family, work? Life never seems fair, but that's why we have to try to count the blessings that we have. 🌅
@@rhodesianhunter9360 Oh, calm down. If he's alright because you agree with what he says, why did you feel the need to post a comment trying to knock him down a peg? Oh, yeah, you like to hear your own voice. That's interesting. We're unimpressed. lolol.
Hate how he talks though. "Oh so you're saying it's like X? "No, no, I'm saying it's Z." "Well what's Z?" (Proceeds to describe X) He goes through a lot of unnecessary run arounds and it sometimes feels like Chris is squeezing blood from a stone to get him to speak about something. I don't think he's dumb or using fancy speak to sound smart, but he really "no sells" a lot of things for seemingly no reason.
I wish Eric would do his podcast again. My impression is that he created this monster out of the decision to keep doing it and the response from the public. At the least, I wish he did more rounds of guesting on good shows. He does a great job at bringing conversations with people into areas that haven't already been hashed 500 times on the other interviews and podcast the other party has been on.
To my surprise, I think this is the best non-military-related podcast that I’ve ever listened to. Fantastic interview bro, seriously. I’ve never seen anyone demonstrate the ability to properly interview Eric Weinstein, in the way that you have.
@@NateGoesOutsidehe dabbled ever so slightly to get a point across, but he didn’t dive into anything to a point in which the conversation thread derailed. Big kudos to Chris on that front
I’m a 32-year-old ambitious hobby enthusiast, yet I’ve struggled to find a career to dive into. For the past 15 years, I've been passionate about computer hacking and constantly learning valuable skills. Despite this, I haven't secured a single interview. My downfall has been focusing solely on solving problems independently rather than building a network. The motto, "I don't need anyone's help; I can figure this out on my own," has worked against me. Ironically, I excel in group dynamics due to my past experience running challenge courses at a university, where I taught communication, leadership, and teamwork. I’ve learned the importance of balancing ego, speaking up when necessary, and knowing when to step back. However, I've also encountered people with blind confidence who try to teach others despite being completely wrong, which can be quite dangerous.
I love listening to Eric, but you really did an awesome job talking to him. I don't know how you do it, but I feel you set the stage perfectly. This is really one of the best talks I've seen in a while.
Eric has a bad habit of trying to couch his concepts in a way that sounds sophisticated instead of in a way that is approachable to 'mere mortals'. I haven't been able to figure out if that is by design, or if it's that Eric is actually bright enough that I'm a speed bump by comparison. Chris does an excellent job though of forcing Eric down from the clouds of esotericism into a realm where concepts take actual tangible form and can be debated.
The majority of people confuse self-deprecation with humility. You can own your gifts/accomplishments/knowledge and stand in your authority while maintaining deep humility. Excellent discussion! 💜
I just stumbled across this video without knowing anything about either Chris Williamson or Eric Weinstein, and I cannot tell you how incredible it was to listen to two individuals having a rational, intelligent conversation about so many topics without the very common need to make sure that their views and opinions were the only right one! I was very impressed by the common effort that both of you made to make sure that you really did understand what the other was saying. It was like a breathe of fresh air! I especially liked the portion where you both examined the uncertainty of knowing that seems to pervade pretty well any important topic right now, and suggestions of how to deal with it. For some time now I have felt so torn apart because of how difficult or even impossible it seems to come to a clear and factual conclusion on almost anything these days, and it frustrates and angers me so much! Especially because a large amount of these topics are just SO FRIGGIN' IMPORTANT! . . . . and it often results in my feeling very impotent and powerless, with no clear place to stand. I HATE IT! . . . . oh, and I have to thank you for introducing me to the Sagrada Familia! Wow! I have never heard of this building before, and immediately had to google it. I especially googled images of the ceiling, and had my mind blown! This is a building on acid! I grew up during the time of Timothy Leary and dropped LSD a few times, and I swear that this building is a physical demonstration of an acid trip!
It's pretty amazing. Went there in 2000. Views from the lookout towers are sick. Incidentally, it is way more than 70 years in the making and there is still a lot left to do.
I sort of had a connection when Eric mentioned Gowdy and one of my CDs in the mid 80s was Alan Parsons project and it was called Gowdy and one of the songs was the two words and as soon as he said them, it reminded me of the CD I think it’s one in the same thatis being spoken about now. I have to find that CD.
"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want." - Hannah Arendt (14 October 1906 - 4 December 1975) German historian and philosopher
TO CHRIS’S PRODUCER: This episode looks absolutely gorgeous. The cinematography is fantastic. Beautiful color and composition. Thank you for going the extra mile. 😎👍👍
@@_Titanium_ - I see your point. I think it can make what we’re watching appear “unreal”. I’m a photographer myself so I was appreciating the look. But you bring up a really good point.
I recall my uncle, a physicist, saying essentially the same as Eric re physics. We just don't know enough.. yet. Gosh, since he passed there are a million things I want to ask. Listening to Eric is enormously satisfying. Uncle Edgar was moral too .
Eric Weinstein is clearly an intelligent and educated person. I learn many new things, and gain many new perspectives listening to him. That said, I invented a term to apply to myself many years ago, a time when I was enjoying wonderful success, and pride eased humility out of my viewfinder. I said to myself: “Success can invite some people to think they’re important”. I understand Mr. Weinstein is super intelligent, but to keep a bit of balance and humility I would offer: “it was not a scientist or mathematician who committed the U.S. to going to the moon within a decade, and got it done”. It took a leader, a visionary. Cooperation with others requires humility.
This conversation is absolutely blowing my mind. Eric is putting into language what can barely be explained by the most brilliant minds. He makes the chaos coherent.
If you watch a lot of cop videos, you’ll see they basically ignore everything out of a suspect’s mouth unless the suspect is giving them something concrete and evidence based. Average people really need to learn to do that with everything they hear from any media source. And average people also need to learn not to take a stance on something they know very little about.
I would love to meet Eric just to shake his hand and let him know how much I enjoy his interviews/thoughts. Then I would leave him completely alone and let him enjoy his day.
I play guitar. I'm something of a multi-instrumentalist, but guitar being my axe of choice, I know a lot of rock 'n' roll. Recently, somebody asked me, if I could go back and do it again was there an instrument I would learn? Without a second thought, I said, "Cello. If I could play Bach's cello sonatas my life would be complete." Head, heart, and even loins joined in timeless harmony by the greatest gift Western music gave to the world, a humble kapellmeister with an insatiable curiosity.
Eric, his brother Bret and wife Heather are 3 of a small set of people who helped get me through the craziness of the past 4 years. They almost always say exactly what I’m thinking albeit in a much more eloquent way than I possibly could.
I like when Eric smiles and laughs. There's a lot he means by doing so, and you get a burst of imagery and meaning if you've followed his output over the years. I hope this guy lives a long life... he's a good reflection of what enlightenment entails at the moment.
Very much agree... unfortunately I think he's stepped on the toes of MANY powerful people, and this may end up leading to some kind of tragic end. He's very careful not to name names most of the time (likely to avoid getting knocked off by those powerful people) but just the act of pulling the veil off of the dark, seedy, underbelly of power structures can be very dangerous. You look at what they did to Trump just because he was an outsider who had gained power and posed a threat to their entrenched good 'ol boys club. They did everything short of attempting to kill him to get him out of power. Fortunately for Trump, he was too narcissistic, and likely not quite bright enough to pose much of an actual threat... otherwise he would've ended up like a Kennedy.
@dxfifa he's good at sounding smart and mystifying people. But just wait.. he's working on a secret science project that will revolutionize all of physics and everything and one day everyone will have to respect him.. you'll see! 😅
This is maybe my favorite interview with Eric. There were lots of generous moments in conversation, pauses for thought - less hectic than other interviews. Chris gracefully called out the places where his audience might be lost. I found it not just interesting, but satisfying, to listen to. It's not all about the people and how they talk, but I felt the mode of conversation expressed the large thoughts Eric has well.
This conversation was outstanding not only in terms of the topics discussed and the brilliance Eric shares wherever he speaks, but also for the sublime ability Chris brings to bear in drawing out the most genuinely insightful responses from Eric. This is all the more impressive given the 20+ year age difference, confirming the deep wisdom Chris has cultivated in his life. His interviews are truly a gift to us all.
You must have either just discovered Eric Weinstein. He has been appearing on different podcasts and youtubers shows and he has been able to make himself sound interesting and insightful. Some people have this conversational skill with words and the ability to get the interest of others peaked, but he has so far not shown anything for his words. People have been trying to follow him for years trying to figure out what it is exactly that he says he figured out, or discovered, or calculated and most people still have no idea what on earth he is talking about. Other academic scientists keep asking him to at least produce one research paper but Eric Weinstein gives various childish excuses why he doesn't. I think most people will soon find out that he is some sort of professional scam artist, a charlatan, or maybe he really believes he "knows something" and is delusional. Perhaps he has some sort of delusions of grandeur, or a "suppressed genius" complex. I don't know.
@@StopFear I grasp the majority of his metaphors related to politics and society. However, when he delves into physics topics, my understanding falters, and I tend to tune out. It's worth noting that many contemporary individuals struggle to decipher metaphors in general. Just the other day, I posted on Twitter that the influential figures have their 'tentacles' all over the place, and a young woman with autism took it literally, thinking I was suggesting that powerful individuals are octopuses. She couldn't connect the dots, highlighting the peculiar nature of our times.
Thanks for hosting Eric, Chris! Great to see the channel grow and here's to another year of great success! My only request would be to post videos to Spotify as well All the best, Dave the clips guy :D
Pilate's (rhetorical) question resounds here..."What is truth?" Our current situation in all its horrendous complexity, so poetically elaborated here with Chris and Eric, quintessentially drives the issue of epistemology. How can I know anything? What is the ground of being? "There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear....." Having searched long, hard, and honest, the Truth disclosed Himself to be a unique Divine Image; not an archetype, not a myth, not an icon, not an ET, and certainly NOT a religious figure. A verse in Proverbs chapter 30, one of the most intriguing passages in all of literature, invites to the challenge: Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?
One of the finest podcasts I've ever listened to, its a steal really. How is this even free?!:) It took me four days to complete watching and listening to this talk, but it was worth every hour and minute. So insightful and thought provoking, educational and enjoyable. I am glad to have found this channel!
It's not free. You're paying with your attention and both RU-vid and the channel profit from your boredom and desire for knowledge. Mwahahahwhahahahah 🧙♂️👁️
@@averyintelligence I'm totally ok with paying the highest currency - time - in exchange for having the opportunity to listen to such talks. Otherwise, yes, we're not even the customers of RU-vid or any social media platform, but rather products of it.
Never heard of Chris Williamson before. But I have now. Good job Chris you are a very impressive young man. This is literally my best Eric Weinstein interview I’ve ever heard and I’m a fan. Keep up the good work guys.
Legitimately one of the best podcast episodes I have listened to. Very thought provoking. As a Christian, it does push me to conclude that Jesus is the best explanation for all of this. We live in the time of the great deception. I am not equipped to understand it all, but I believe Jesus does, so I will put my faith in him. Thanks for this episode.
Fascinating interview. Dr. Weinstein covers a wide array of topics with intelligence, insight, and humor, as well as hugely original takes I've never heard elsewhere.
This was truly fascinating... the seeming ease to get Eric to engage more deeply and narrow his comments with much greater specificity. I think most previous interviewers have either felt intimidated by Eric's intellectualism, or maybe they actually did understand his general point, but failed to see the value to the audience of having answers which are more concrete, have better clarity, and fills in the massive gaps Eric's usual vague answers leave us with. Basically a long way of saying, hey thanks for "dumbing it down" for me! 😂
I agree. He really should be even more specific. Big ideas. Important ideas but until they become specific it’s just a bunch of words that seem not to apply to those of us living in the real world
@@andysedlak1534 No wonder you were bored. Believing Eric has to say things (example?) to make himself seem more intelligent to an audience? Eric doesn’t have to pretend anything. If anything, he dampens down his true level of intellect. His usage of metaphors and anecdotes is what allows most to fully appreciate and understand what point he’s making. If he did speak with his full intellect (and his depth of thinking) totally engaged…many would have to go elsewhere. Is he an average guy? Genius mathematicians aren’t average. What we fans also know a bit about Eric (besides his genius) is that he has such a huge heart. He openly searches for honesty and integrity from others, has one helluva BS meter and gives more than he takes. Just read a few of the comments to know just how much he is appreciated.
I 100% agree with Eric that we keep voting for people who will never live to see the consequences of their actions and basically voting for people who liquidating our current assets.
Right, this is something that just occurred to me thinking of the reasons why these people do what they do, they're about to die so why not screw us and go out laughing at our ignorance, and things like that
@@ib1ray I was thinking about it with my grand parents and even my parents, I would never trust my grandparents to make life changing decisions for me at my age, they can barely understand how to use their cell phone, use the internet or function with all of whats happening around much less to run a country.
Perhaps you might want to look into your messiah complex..No one from the government is coming to save us. WAKE the heck up! As if voting really matters! If it did they wouldn't let us do it
After literally years of listening to these kind of podcasts ....this man has gotten closer to actually describing the situation of everyday life. Thank you Eric for at least trying to describe the problems and disillusionment.
Is he really helping though? I don't say that fllppantly. Our world's too interconnected for us to go through life w/o trusting *someone*. We can't just get into this fetid spiral where we wake up every day looking over our shoulders thinking about who or what we're going to deem is unworthy of trust now. At some point we have to take some personal responsibility here and act like the grown adults we are - and look, I like Eric as a person, but I feel he's doing a profound disservice to people who listen to him w/o offering anything in the way of substance as to what to do about it. That's not helping anyone, it's just feeding paranoia.
but it's validating to hear these issues defined . identifying what is wrong is very helpful. repeating it over and over without offering a tangible solution like the politicians do is causing some major distress .
@@ryanashfyre464The documentary HyperNormalisation by Adam Curtiss casts useful light on our predicament. Maybe there is no answer to our predicament apart from creating a parallel society. Take another Molochian trap. We're creating a totalitarian society as a result of the creep of safetyism. The moment anyone tries to roll back, and a crime happens as a result, the press gang up on the person resisting the inexorable creep further into a totalitarian society. There is no attainable answer to this predicament. Why would one presume that problems have solutions within their own frames? A priori, there is no reason to suspect that this should be the case. If a system is critically flawed, detch from it, as much as possible. Pay unto Rome, but no more. If enough people create a parallel society then it emerges as the working option as the flawed system fails. This happens throughout history. e.g. The collapse of the unions and big business pricing agreements in 1970s UK finally killed in the 1980s reforms brought in by Thatcher.
@@ryanashfyre464yes he is. He explains and gives us a glimpse of the Rich’s constant sense of powerlessness themselves. And we never think they are powerless. Do u see?
@@ryanashfyre464 I am not sure if I agree, at least not that pessimistic. He does sort out some of the subjects like "we need the institutions". Problem is that 92% took the vax, so more or less that number trust and do what the obvious lying media is serving them, unwilling to fix anything. The 8% isn't that "on pair" with what the problem is, and the media is making it difficult to create consensus. Everyone watching this already know the problems, and I do not think there is much new people watching this. So yeah it is sort of not helpful, but what is? Anyhow: The american founding fathers came from a dystopian world and built a "knowledge" of how it ought to be. There is profound wisdom that is the basis for the US constitution, some of it comes from the bible, others from various philosophic text that had been built on other philosophic text. The institutions cannot be fixed until this knowledge is rebuilt in the head, distributed and agreed upon by a substantially part of the population. Until then it is about personal survival. Just look at soviet union, where people literally drowned themselves in vodka. Will the russians ever experience the traditional US style freedoms? Not until they get the philosophy straight.
This has been out for 4 months now and I am so grateful it popped up in my line up. Wow. This conversation was beautiful and poetic. It touched two out of three… my heart and my head. Thank you 🙏🏼
@@jorgeenchiladaThe superlatives may be hyperbole but this broad ranging discussion is intellectually stimulating. EW is a multifaceted intellect & CW skillfully digs deeper.
@@literatious308 What is it about Weinstein that brings out the Dunning-Kreuger so much in you guys? I guess it's his ego influencing all of you. Impressive when you consider that he's such a forgettable "intellectual".
The single most impressive interview I've seen in years and so many subjects. What a well spoken, appropriately humble genius. I watched it all and was experiencing epiphany and raucous agreement for over 3 hours. Thank you, Eric Weinstein. I raise a glass for you. Oh, and I'm going to the Azores!
Noting your comment, and being curious (with no reference to this "deep end") I just watched an interview on C-Span of Bret plugging his latest book. He appeared to be equally as lucid, insightful, and brilliant as his brother. Care to elaborate on your comment? @@nem447
@@nem447you are exemplifying the problem with your empty ad hominem. Doesn't get much more superficial than your comment, which is either evil or the banality of evil. Try substantial expression and ditch the ad hominem. Please.
Nope , Bret is rocking it in his own way just as brilliantly as his brother. Go back and listen again. There is a reason why Eric is so pissed that Bret did not fight for recognition for his right to a nobel prize. Bret was like meh !!!@@nem447
more a self-righteous blowhard. at least in regards to his stance on epstein. he sure acts interested in the subject, as he has tackled it on many podcasts, as well as commented in depth of his own accord on his twitter, etc. and yet, for all his supposed interest, he is either woefully uninformed or disingenuous at best. it is no secret whatsoever that epstein was indeed an astute financial player. whitney webb & others have detailed indepth how he was helping bill gates, the clintons, & others launder $$ thru their foundations, amongst many other things. yet, in every single interview or post he's done about the subject, eric maintains he just doesnt believe epstein could have had an astute financial mind. instead, he just reverts to saying, 'oh he was a construct.' like yeah, no shit. long story short, he's either an idiot or not being forthcoming
Very much enjoyed this conversation. You brought out the playful side of Eric and that is always, for me, a real treat. Eric has consistently proven to be dependable in his ability to see past the distracting noise and get to the deeper issues or even the deeper questions we should be asking. He doesn’t fall for the forced framing of topics and problems but rather guides the audience to shift their gaze slightly to the side so as to be able to take in a detail that was not perceptible from the previous vantage point. That is an invaluable attribute, most especially in the miasma of inane chatter and corrupted incentives pervading this moment in human history.
I think he is influenced by Hannah Arendt in this part because that is her style of thought & discourse as well. And for the fact that he has mentioned her with distinction previously.
This is the best podcast episode Eric has been a guest on recently. Unlike some other hosts, Chris does the work to unpack Eric's ideas fully and that makes it so much easier to understand and appreciate them.
“People aren’t watching what’s happening to them. They are being denatured by their phones. “ Just one brilliant observation in a 3 hour rout. Love love love.
I have a huge appreciation for each of their willingness to take long uncomfortable pauses to fully think through what they’re trying to convey. Absolutely fantastic communicators.
Weinstein just comes across to me like a person completely full of himself who enjoys saying provocative but purposefully vague things so he can smugly wait to be asked to explain himself. He then pretends to starts to explain, but switches gears or goes on a tangent, never to return. You can hear the self-satisfaction dripping off his tone of voice almost the entire time. This whole interview seemed like stream-of-consciousness, manipulative bullshit. A conspiracy theorists' wet dream, in that it alludes to a long list of provocative, conspiracy theory subjects which can be interpreted however one wants. At the same time, utterly nothing of material consequence is said or explained, nor any meaningful evidence or falsifiable statements actually given. Completely bizarre.
@@Pseudothink While there is definitely a significant amount of truth in what you said about Eric, I think there were many interesting thoughts expressed in this video, even if they don't unwrap it properly or explain them sufficiently, and many times it is vague. It is thought provoking if you don't get hung up on the weird and provocative nature of it.
When somebody races to reply it means that they're not listening to what you're saying they might be missing an important component and it takes great Reserve to think things through before you say something it's impressive and it's a skill I'm still working on
Can I just say how delighted I was that this conversation was three hours long?? I would have happily listened to you talk together for twice that length of time! I'd like to say that I 'shared' the crap out of this highly stimulating intellectual shot, as that was my immediate urge. Unfortunately, that would require I have more emotionally and cerebrally primed friends deft enough for this range and depth of topics. Please have Mr. Eric W. back soon. The conjunction that took place here cultivated a prismatic clarity that I was in desperate need of today, and I'm already feinding for another dose. Thanks again for 'being'.
This was hands down one of the top-10 interview podcast episodes. So many pauses to write or record what Eric or Chris said. So many gems of information that could help people -- or at least make aware that, no you don't really know what's truly going on under the rug. Excellent work. Much respect.
Eric Weinstein is one of the wisest people alive. His brother is wonderful too, and brother’s wife. Fabulous thinkers….thanks for doing such a long piece with Eric. So appreciated. ❤😊
no he's not. he's either a willful "idiot" (& thus a very sketchy person) or an unwitting one. i lean towards the former. especially since it is well known that jeffrey epstein was indeed an astute money man. he was part of one of the biggest ponzi schemes in US history prior to b.madoff. whitney webb has covered this extensively. it is no secret. so eric's insistence, in interview after interview, that he doesnt believe epstein played any financial role for these luminaries except as some vague "construct" is pretty damning. i mean, epstein was a construct, for sure. & later on, was a sexual trafficker & blackmailer. but again, it's not a secret that he was of great value as a money-mover/launderer.
This is such an amazing conversation, like most of Eric's previous Podcasts. I am literally sitting here and thinking What the hell can I do with the rest of my life to help? I am now 30 years old, more or less uneducated in Mathematics, and I am Considering dropping everything, quitting my job and finding a way to start studying and working on Physics, for Real. Because If Eric is correct, the fall of Physics might be one of the biggest tragedies of our time. And if anyone had told me this shit when I was in my teens, there is a very good chance I would have atleast tried to find a way to contribute in the Search for Progress in Physics. This whole thing seems fucking insane to me.
Ir is possible to make significant contributions towards a better future in other fields... I am a financial economist. I left the mainstream of the field behind because they gave 12 reasons why we can't do anything. Then I read the heterodox alternative. Now I work on the development of realistic and practical ways to think about investing in a better future. Complete with the conceptual equipment -- fresh theories -- to point the way out of our collective straight jacket. At age 68, I feel that I only now am coming to understand economics. It is very exciting. But it depends who your economics teachers are. So choose your mentors well. Not all of them will be worth a darn. Best of luck, -Bob
Everything happens for a reason, including the forgetting of the obvious. There is an emerging recognition of the need for common sense. I also believe that it is a reconnection to our true nature as humans and with the Life of this Planet that will be essential to the paradigm shift we will need to approach interplanetary travel in a functional manner.
I write on Quora about the subjects of Math, Physics, and Eric's Geometric Unity. My latest offers a link to Feynman's thoughts on pattern recognition as central to science. It's a segue into my own thoughts which mirror Eric's in many important ways. Eric is fascinated by generations of 16 and I by 31. Their product is 496 and equal to four generations of Time's Arrow, each branching off at right angles to its parent and coming full circle in one wave cycle within four generations. What is the scientific explanation for the mystery and wonder of science? I answer this question at Quora and I invite you to explore my and Eric's thoughts about what is most lacking in our understanding of space and time.
I still get a little kick out of it whenever I hear the phrase “say more”, it is such a perfect short blip that says so much. It shows respect, it shows interest in what someone is saying, it says you are tracking and listening and would like to know more and you trust that if they keep speaking you will learn more about what they are saying. And the best part is that it usually amounts to one person foregoing “their natural turn to speak” and giving it to the other person, which is certainly much more rare than it is common.
What Eric said about loving our children struck me deeply. When I became a father, and at the same time time lost trust that the system we've been colonized by could provide our children and give them a fair chance to live a good life,, I went grazy from worry. So grazy that I decided to "save the world" even single handedly, if nobody else would not help out. Still crazy, learned a lot, but somehow less worried. When we give up fantasies of controlling others, we can build confidence and trust from our loving kindness.
Man Chris it might be wild to say it but this might be your real coming out party. You have had many great episodes, great visuals, great guests, and great conversations. This episode you are incredibly sharp mentally, your talking points, questions, and insights really felt like they met the challenge of having such an intelligent guest. Eric is beyond brilliant while remaining very low key and honest. You kept pace with him and kept this engaging all the way through. You and your teams best work yet.
Well said about Eric. I think Williamson improved throughout the episode because he said some pretty basic questions and let Eric run with it, but Eric played into it and helped Chris and wow yeah great episode.
I first heard Eric on Joe Rogan a few years ago. It was a very weird moment for me hearing him talk. I somehow share points and views that he has, yet never heard him talk and I am grossly less intelligent than him. Now every time he does a podcast, I stop, listen and it somehow calms me. He makes me feel like im not crazy for thinking we are doomed, for thinking "What the actual F is going on around here!?!", for thinking " everything around us is built on rampant lies and we are constantly pounded with nonsense. He helps me feel rational to be very concerned with where society is going.
Respectfully, allow me to provide a small crumb of further assistance, as perhaps an additional voice. Anyone above the age of 23 who is not extremely concerned with where society is going is a submoron. A barely functional idiot. A very shallow water thinker in a world of many immediate deep water challenges. Anyone you know who isn't wondering out loud why "...everything around us is built on rampant lies and we are constantly pounded with nonsense.", each day are low-level thinkers only taking up space. Otherwise highly intelligent people who avoid that daily question are high-level narcissists, completely uncaring about the survival of lives and civilization. You are a much-needed Asset but it's no pleasure cruise.
there are times i'd love to be able to interject on some of these conversations but i know it'd be limited but imaging 5000 people doing it all at once is impossible. So at some level I think there needs to be more to be said and considered but we can't all jump in the ballpit at the same time.
2 people in my community were just burned alive in a Tesla this past week, because the battery caught fire and the doors could not be opened. I have no interest or confidence in the up and coming super wealthy but I will listen to Eric for the time being as his intelligent voice is new to me. Btw, the subject of a sentence, "he and his father", dear America, will never be "Him and his father" - for God's sake.
Eric is beyond brilliant...he is one of our greatest thinkers ever....its fabulous to have this chance to visit with him..thank you so much for this fabulous podcast
This conversation should be shown in schools to teach children how serious, adult conversations should be done. Get off the iPhone, and sit down face to face with someone. Listen and let the other person express their thoughts without interruption.
Chris, I hope you can allow yourself the opportunity to earnestly congratulate yourself for some achievements. It seems we truly don’t know the ceiling of what we are capable of, as Jordan Peterson says, but this episode is legendary and I’m incredibly proud of you. Keep pushing and keep up the stellar work brother! This podcast is a gift.
Chris, you are not getting the recognition you deserve. Erik's great but the way you handle yourself and the obvious knowledge and prep you have are what makes all your videos great. Awesome work man!
Chris, I've watched Eric speak on numerous other podcasts and he's never disappointed. For whatever the reason, your conversation with him really exposed just how brilliant this man is, and also exposed exactly how stupid I am. Great work, man. Nicely done.
You have no idea what you are talking about. In case of this guy Eric Weinstein he has been around for some time claiming he has made some sort of revolutionary discovery, but by now many legitimate acclaimed scientists say that he is simply bullshitting. He hasn't published a paper where he explains what he says he figured out. He does not explain it with any meaningful precision anywhere. He goes podcast to podcase, youtube channel to youtube channel and does really well talking about something that sounds almost mystical, miraculous, scientific, but many people who have watched all of his presentations and videos believe he is simply a charlatan and a quack.
The ONLY truth is that the mainstream media, establishment politicians, and government officials lie to us to keep us divided and distracted. As we grovel over the lies they continue to gain great wealth, and the cycle continues..
I’m a MD and virtually all trans (esp teens) are on multiple antidepressants or other psychoactive meds. In addition what we used to call Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is now called Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and they removed “female” from a common risk scoring system we use for atrial fibrillation because of stigmatization concerns. The public has no idea how pervasive ideological capture is in the field of Medicine
This is the second video I've viewed of Mr. Williamson interviewing professor Weinstein. I now understand why I find them so enjoyable. Much in the vein of "My Dinner with Andre" they remind me of long, long ago (the Nixon-VietNam years) weekend BS sessions in prep school and undergrad where we'd sit around and "save the planet." Sometimes we'd do it in student bars over pitchers of beer, at others in the floor of someone's living room as we passed around a jug of wine and a joint or two or three and the desultory ideas would flow. They'd inevitably end when someone had to go back to his dorm to cram or half of us had passed out on the floor. But we reached a level of bonding that rivals a post-Saint Crispin speech or the Wild Bunch, yet no one died. In the service of this mutual mental probing, we became like brothers for that one evening and walked away better, thoughtful, deeper individuals for it. Man, miss those days. Thanks Mr. Williamson and professor Weinstein for bringing them back--if only for a few hours while _completely_ sober and straight! That's one shared experience, a deep bond we desired would go on forever and knew it could not-- _our_ "truth." Be well.
He's a nice guy but he has some kooky conspiracy ideas ... plus sometimes he thinks he knows more than he actually does. I heard him in a recent interview where he said that concern over climate change is over-blown and he said that he came to this conclusion because climate scientists often operate out of Universities and that Universities can't be trusted. He sometimes uses one weak idea to support another weak (yet larger) idea. He does it here where he says that Epstein was possibly an intelligence operative and that he was being set up with a fake identity. Then "explaining" that Epstein had a connection to Harvard because of some sort of conspiracy (which is not a reasonable conclusion) . Then saying that Epstein had no business connections or finance operations (not true) but that the media chose to ignore investigating him. Everything he talks about has elements that are accurate but he often "connects the dots" in unreasonable ways.
@@CinHalCedHerChance dude his too intelligent so he sounds cocky to you guys u don’t understand what his trying to say or why he talks like that he knows way too much thats why he talks in riddles
I stumbled across this well down a rabbit hole. And this is the first time I have heard of you both. But I am so glad I stumbled here. I can relate to so much in this podcast and it has bought me a little peace in the aspect that I am not alone in some of the thoughts and views I have. This has answered so many questions about myself and the way I think and the way I view the world, well also giving me so many more questions (in a good way). This has come at a time when I really needed it. Thank you for giving me more of an understanding as well as inspiring me. I am looking forward to watching/listening to more of your content and following you both as I find you both fascinating, informative, intelligent and real. Absolutely blown away.
Eric has.serious chops in Science and Finance look up Peter Theil, if you question my secondary assertion.. live thus convo. The only "downside"I will have yo listen about 7 times to connect all the info in my mind.
If this conversation impressed you, I suggest you feed the hunger for intelligent discourse with the mindblowing RU-vid presentations by professors Jeffrey Sachs, Gabriel Rockhill, Michael Hudson, Richard Wolff, Gabor Mate, et al. These people understand the present, the past and don't feed us nonsense. Be well.
23:13 His currency was trauma, not precious metals or oil or hemp. The “weaker” thrown to the wolves. The wolves bribed, taunted, awarded, stroked, succumbed …and recorded. The weaker molested, taunted, ridiculed, humiliated, ignored, …traumatized. The weaker; these are our defenseless, without fear, or guilt, or shame, or regret, or doubt. With only love, security, exploration, freedom, liberty and joy. With only Self~Love. That’s what we protect and honor and hold Sacred.
This is one of the best conversations on RU-vid. Just the little quotes of "world uncle shortage" and "People who love their children don't drill holes in the children's life raft" are more meaningful than most.
