Jamie Metzl on The Portal (with host Eric Weinstein) Ep.  

Keep going Eric, these conversations are essential for our short-sighted distracted society...

Why did you stop doing these?

Eric, it's been a while my dude. A few hours in The Portal is exactly what I need right now. Cheers! 🍻

Eric, we miss you! Hope all is well with you. Your insights and passion for a brighter future bring joy to more than you will ever know. Thank you, Eric.

He's back. The Absolute mad lad is back.

Best feeling is knowing tomorrow's podcast fix is taken care of. Especially this one.

Reminder for everyone that this episode was released in april, and recent episodes (up to ep41) have been uploaded to other audio platforms. Glad to see it here on youtube.

Somehow seeing this notification was very calming. Thank you Eric

So glad you’re back. Regarding your analysis of Léonard Cohen material on Lex’s show, touring with him for a decade, I must say you have been the most accurate. If you’d like more insight we can discuss on a private conduit.

oof when Jamie Metzl said that thing about terminator seeds with Monsanto I got the cold shiver. This dude

I just want to say I am SO glad you are back Eric! I just listened to the whole podcast while coding. Absolutely fantastic episode to both of you!

What a fabulous way to start the day. Thank you for sticking with us Eric.

I have been so drunk during this pandemic and im not lazy....built a fence...raised 56 chickens.....fullfilment is some weird shit and will never be full.....im drunk love yall

Been a hot minute!! Glad to see you back!🧡🧠

Eric so nice to have you back, looking fwd for more videos.

Eric, so good to see you. Thank you for your efforts, looking forward to connecting in the discord

How i miss The portal... I find myself rewatching all those episode way more often than i ever thought i would.

Glad you are back. You have been dearly missed in my life.

Thanks for releasing another episode Eric! I thought we would be without the Portal for a while after your recent appearance on Lex’s show. Cheers, my friend!

Great to see you're finally putting out these episodes Eric! The long hiatus forced me into subscribing to the podcast instead of the RU-vid show to catch up with your content! But it's great to see the video stuff coming out again. Oh well, now you get a Listen and View from me for each episode!

"We have that portal, it's called conversation, and we can't afford to become post-modernists." I think this is the most powerful message in the entire episode. We're witnessing the death of conversation, and conversation is beset from many sides, whether it be through post-modernists muddling the waters or radicals poisoning the wells. We need to restore it in order to at least have a chance to survive.

I felt alone in the world and then when I first heard of the portal, I felt a sense of connection because this dude is having the conversations I’ve needed to satisfy that desire for the questions, big and small.

I've listened to this episode on Spotify a few times already. Now with the video it will make it easier to introduce to family and friends. Thank you.

Glad to see you're back at it! I truly appreciate your perspective

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS EXTREMELY INTELLECTUAL SHOW WOW!!!!!!!

Oh hell yeah.

OK Eric, I can't believe you have been sitting on this great podcast for "so long"! We were craving content and it was there all along! Great book, story teller, author in general. I have read many of his science books as well and they are worth every word. Thx Eric! PS just realize this content was released on another platform since Apr...

Hello, Eric! Great to see you posting incredibly interesting podcasts!

Eric,, I need more of your podcasts in my life, love the type of intelligence. Love you man!! Keep on fighting champ!!

I just want to point out that GFP (green fluorescent protein) does not glow in the dark. It is a fluorescent protein which means it needs an excitation (around 395 nm) and will then emit light as a result (around 475 nm). Most pop culture gets this wrong. There are of course other systems that allow for glow in the dark attributes, but as far as I know all need a substrate (like luciferase) but this isn't fluorescence but bioluminescence. Some bioluminescence can be heterologously achieved in plants and other organisms, but it's harder than just producing one heterologous gene. Great podcast anyway! I just wanted to make a small correction as I didn't see anyone talking about it in the comments.

For me, one of the best conversations for the entire year. And now the drum roll of irony bursts forth. If I recall your intro, this conversation happened about a year ago. But, it seems like a hundred years ago because within weeks of this conversation Covid explodes in China and our world has been turned topsy turvy, upside down and inside out. This was an extraordinary fascinating talk and the implications for our present day Covid world are still being defined. I would encourage Eric to have a similar but shorter conversation with Metzel now with 1/2 the focus on what has changed in his view since Covid and the other half of his consideration given over to where we are going in the current Covid world. Amazing.

thank you Eric. new conversations are few and far between and we all appreciate your time.

I can’t believe my eyes! Please keep doing podcasts!

PSA: To Everyone who don’t know, a 4 hour Portal episode w Douglas Murray is up on Spotify and such. Navigate there to hear what’s not on RU-vid.

YES! Back on the Tube! Listening is fine and dandy, but I love watching podcasts as well. Your return to this platform excites me endlessly.

Thank you again Eric. I find myself listening to your portal podcast many times each given the depth of the content. Please keep them coming.

Does this mean _The Portal_ is back? Or is Eric going to keep self-censoring for fear of reprisal by the psychopaths trying to morph our society into a bunch of lunatics (as he indicated on Lex’s podcast)? I hope he is indeed back-because we need reasoned, non-partisan, intelligent public dialogue now more than ever.

A Brave New Word is turning out to be more of a functional telescope than just a mere classic novel

This was one of my favorite episodes, Jamie low-key has so much rich philosophy and exciting predictions about the future.

A proud Portaloid here, glad to have you back!

My favorite voice on the internet... Wish you'd come back

In the midst of garbage , Content like "The portal" need to be supported. Lets share and get more people to subscribe .

So glad to see there's a new Portal to pass through the next time I have a 2 hour window to actively listen. Happy Reality!

Thank you Eric, please don't wait so long between podcast.I want to learn more about everything you know. You are brilliant sir. Thanks again😎

I must be honest I was experiencing separation anxiety but Mr Weinstein came valiantly charging back on his intellectual steed. this is wonderful news.

Always love a good episode of The Portal 👌

Eric, thanks for letting this one out. What an excellent conversation.

Happy you are back!!

"Brave New World" anyone?

We need a Weinstein type of mindset working a podcast here in 🇨🇦 . I love the variety.

Awesome. Glad you're back Eric. Keep up the good work.

Wow! You're back! I have not started the video yet, but I am very excited to watch this!

"Hate data" 🤣 Another brilliant coinage by Eric.

FYI, this ep is super old. These and others have been available on Apple podcasts for months. For some reason Eric doesn't update the youtube site.

I'm so glad to see this podcast back!

We love you Eric - please keep videos coming at your own pace :)

I just typed his name by coincidence and lo and behold, 4 minutes ago!

I wish Eric would do some financially focused podcasts, he could really help people that way.

Great guest, and such a fascinating discussion! I hope we see so much more of you Eric, I love how your mind thinks from so many critically important angles!

It's great to see you post! Thank you!

Eric...loving you and your siblings “podcast” IDW people who should be listened too

Honestly been a fair while since watching such an engaging and interesting podcast. Thank you :)

Yay!!! So glad to have you back!!!

Welcome back, Eric! It's so great how healthy and lighter you've got in a year. Kudos

Eric is simply wicked genius and a very fastidious speaker as well. Pure energy.

I hope Eric talks about The Great Reset in the near future.

Welcome back Eric.....Thank you for expositing me to thoughts and concepts that blow my mind.

I'm so glad I have found your discussions Eric! Huge fan in Alabama. Grace and Love

These episodes would be great being started roughly 2 hrs ahead of sunset and ending when the sun goes down.

You need to read "The Revolutionary Phenotype" by J. F. Gariepy. Your brother has a copy of the book.

My favorite podcast is back!!!! God have I missed you sir!! We need to hear your voice now more then ever!!

Hey Eric just wanted to say that I miss these podcasts and I hope you and your family are doing well. Sending my regards to you :)

You're the older brother for a reason, Eric. Come back to us.

We'll undoubtedly "select" ourselves into a box canyon of nonadaptability There are so many examples of now extinct species that so exquisitely adapted to certain conditions that when conditions changed they disappeared.

Man let’s go Eric! Glad to see another 1 of these ✌🏻

Great seeing you back on the portal Eric!

Thank you eric, as a student of mathematics at ERAU this stuff helps supplement the rigid routine of my coursework by giving me a portal to other fields. This podcast is a beneficial mutative addition to the mathematical perspective.

Jamie Metzl tries hard to weasel out of the arguments Eric lays on him. I am glad Eric pushes back.

I'm so happy you have opened up the portal again!

We need more of these conversations.

Eric, can you do a podcast on things like Palantir and the exploitation of human beings via their data being sold to who ever had the money; the subversion of humanity to be sure. And similarly how the opposition to these kinds of 'investments' are shadow banned and stuck into memory holes.

“Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should.” Michael Crichton

Hey Eric, retired Green Beret Benjamin Eugene Gee (Operational Detachment Alpha & Operational Detachment Delta) here, I am a patriot and I am a long time follower and seriously appreciate you sir. Keep up the excellent work and intellectual input. Thank You - I mean that.

Thank you for your conversation with Lax the MIT computer programmer, it’s nice to see that our young people are still optimistic, and it was wonderful to see you speaking with him with so much more life xperience which lex eventually will pick up. The balance between optimism, and realism as a young person most likely should be tilted a bit towards the optimistic. Be well thank you

You can’t hear me but I’m shouting “Erics Back, look everybody Erics back. Yea Haw!😀

I still haven’t looked up the Dirac equation

Love your podcasts Eric. Do not even consider to stop. Lg.

So glad you're back!

please drop another discord link ): we're just trying to learn out here

Eric loves being the alph-asurrogate dad schooling lex yet bows down to his own fears. I hope he’s back and finally going to be true to his counter ego. (cego)

My man is back! We've missed you!

Thank you both very much for the conversation! It is so interesting to hear Jamie interpret the movie Gataca-his take away that the guy had to pull tricks to get his dream and should be arrested is so sad to me. The movie can be seen it a completely different way. The man wasn’t genetically upgraded but with very very hard work he was able to see his dream and prove to his genetically upgraded brother that this unaltered “flawed” person could do more than a genetically upgraded person can because when you tell someone what their limits are, you are just putting them in a box they will not strive to get out of. The unaltered man in the end if I remember right, out competes the altered man and then saves his life in this swimming contest. This movie to me, shows people will always try to put you in a box and tell you are limited to that and so few actually realize that those people are lying to you. We are capable of so much if we don’t save energy to the way home. Give it all you got till there is nothing left and then maybe your automatic functions will kick in.

A NICE VIDEO, EVERYONE OlNEED MORE THAN THEIR INCOME TO BE FINANCIALLY SECURED.THE BEST THING TO DO YOUR MONEY IS TOINVEST IT BECAUSE MONEY LEFT IN THE BANK ALWAYS END UP BEEN IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WITH NO RETURN.I USED TO BE A VICTIM OF SUCH,NOT ANYMORE.I INVENTED AND MAKE STEADY PROFIT.

Watching Eric struggle to accept that the existence of genetic variation leads to hierarchies across domains is delightful.

Glad to see you back!

Hello Erick, I deeply respect and admire what you have done and are continuing to do. continue for the greater good!

life as a memory leak is an amazing metaphor. wow.

Metzi: Science has no worldview Also Metzi: We are moving towards the end of procreative sex. What?

I hope we get some more podcasts, soon!

Welcome back, Eric. Headed to the site now. 👍👌
