We need a scientific revolution | Eric Weinstein full interview 

Yes. Great Science doesn't play safe.

I think what Eric says in this regard doesn't have any more significance than what a random toddler says. He never contributed to any scientific field. So my guess is that his goals is that the bar for scientific research and rigour will be lowered significantly, so other people like him to be able claim they're relevant scientists. He guises that ofcourse so he says we're limiting ideas and talent and all that. Not to say there's a lot that should be improved in the world of research and academia, but it coming from him has no meaning at all.

No, Eric might need a scientific revolution, but he can't speak for all of us. All I need is a proper cup of coffee in the morning, and im good !

@@inajosmood "coming from him has no meaning at all" so I can safely disregard your comment as an ad hominem fallacy.

@@shanesweeney3583 ah so stating an obvious independently verifiable fact, import to the topic at hand is an ad hominem. So now we call it ad hominem we can stop thinking about it. Good night!

intellectual masturbation at best

A clever turn of phrase. Also: wrong.

@@kreek22most experts are terrible teachers. Same with athletes being terrible coaches.

@@kreek22 He didn't say that learning disabilities don't exist.

It's empirically wrong. If one looks at the PISA results it's a clear pattern that the kids with low giftedness who are lowering the average. There's so much information today that it's the human ability to discern and process that's the bottleneck.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of society is too stupid to care about how science conducts itself. Our education is failing and has failed generations. That being said, science resides in the hands of the old guard gate keepers as well as the younger scientists who are part of that failed education system. It's only going to get worse for science from here. Let's not even talk about how the older generations have taught the younger generations a bastardized woke version of science which is actually non science. The future is bleak.

We could but physicists actually do the most expensive experimental science

Because there are way to many "scientists."

@@cybyrd9615But at the same time, it has the greatest impact to our life.

@@mikolajr4700 no it doesn’t material science does

Thunderbolts seemed to be a bit of a mixed bag, but so much of it is compelling. People hold many of these older models on too high of a pedestal.

Thanks for Sharing!!! I'm getting my mind boosted on intellectual drugs

I'm surprised you don't think he has! This is basically 40 episodes of the portal condensed into 20 minutes haha. He has been banging this drum for a while. Though he does a great job using different analogies to keep it fresh.

@@drewmueller4609 Admittedly, I've only seen a few of his appearances in the last few years. He seemed scarce for a while more recently, but it could be that I just missed his interviews.

Based on what you wrote, may I put here... Polanyi explained it. You don't calculate or figure to create underived new knowledge. You fall in love with the question. Science must be completely personal. It is not only the scientist that must be fearless, but also the person that recognizes their work must lose their fears and inhibitions to be able to see something 100% unfamiliar and uncomfortable. Then look for someone doing unacceptable science, so unacceptable that they are not involved in science. They will be completely on their own. You want a Hail Mary? Find someone who cannot be stopped, cannot be restricted. Look for the person driven to solve the problem. What problem. What questions need to be answered? Energy? Sure, but what about the basic question of human survival. Hey, a topic science doesn't talk much about. It is interested in it, but does anyone get traction. Look for something like that, maybe a systematic study of how humans can adapt genetically and strategically for long term survival. It might reveal the unexpected and be very useful. The person would have to understand science, history, law, religion, which science won't look at, and even philosophy that science is only realizing it needs to look at. ... RU-vid blocks the title, but if you want to see some new science, unscramble and look for EneticsG orF A EnW UmanH cologyE My apologies, but RU-vid does block that title if unscrambled.

An "atheist who prays" ? 🤔

I gather Mr Weinstein would like to see himself included among those sheltered and treasured few, though I have heard him at his charming humblest admit a possibility that he may not qualify, yet in that case he would still consider himself a supremely qualified discoverer--and judge--of competency. The problem is that such judgement is highly subjective. Will there be a committee? And who will qualify for that? Science proposes, nature disposes. It might be worth noting that human culture has overrun biological evolution, thanks to hastily applied science--other than for a few troublesome microbes and such that really know how to multiply. Science, done by brilliant scientists, recently handled that evolution problem badly (and still does), not for lack of funding, but because the accountants weren't doing their job. And maybe a bit because the elite of the scientists were out of touch with the rigors of ordinary daily life.

What does the first comment here say?

Science used to be the realm of the wealthy and their patrons... .

It is worth noting that many talented and brilliant people struggle so vehemently with activities that are perceived as normal or routine. The money wasted on unnecessary investments could be allocated to funding the advancement of science. The argument regarding the aforementioned accountant then becomes “from what less important investments can I redirect funds?” It’s not like it all comes down to money. Sometimes a hint of madness mixed with genius can offer fresh perspectives. There is often more than one way to achieve various results. Problem solving is key.

Metaphysics is the basis of science. Science is the study of the causal universe.

Merry Christmas.

Churn is great. That way no one knows what's trusted or not.

@@JeffCaplan313 not sure if you are expressing something positive or negative…all I would say is you don’t trust or believe in Science; rather you constantly question it with new ideas. New ideas come from new humans. Happy holidays friend. ✌🏼😊

The "generation" thing sounds petty. .

@@jgcelliott1 so does hoarding resources and knowledge…”generation” was a metaphor for the “elder” state of our situation. It is stagnant! Imo. Have a great day and thanks for the input✌🏼😊

@@brandonb5075... I don't disagree with you, but I would argue that far, far too much is being made of "generational issues". .

Amen

One more brother from still another mother here. 🙋🏻‍♂️

Dramatic? Because he made very parallel analogies to the FACTS of what's happening in the 21st century?

@@MR-backup Did i ever say that he is wrong about what he is saying? No. So your comment is completely pointless. Maybe read my comment until you actually understand it (If thats possible) and then comment on it afterwards...

@@youlig1 Did i ever say that he is wrong about what he is saying? No. - I never said you did. So your comment is completely pointless. - If only you had eyes to see what your reply is. Maybe read my comment until you actually understand it (If thats possible) and then comment on it afterwards... - I understood the first time; clearly you should be taking your advice, first.

It's suspicious how they don't show the interviewer and how the IAI logo seems to be digitally inserted onto the coffee table. I suspect this is just a repost of some older interview done by someone else.

Too many clip accounts reposting out there to not be suspicious

Religion prostitutes science.

His brother is a teacher who taught children to ignore authority and when the students cancelled him, he acted surprised and called it a complete mystery.

​@@CoolChannelNameO have a feeling there's more to the story.

No.

Who cares? I recently had a friend discount the nutritional counsel given to me by a doctor citing the doctor wasn't a published nutrition researcher.

@@moshet842if you think physics is like medicine or nutritional science you have no business commenting.

His dissertation was cited in a paper that was peer reviewed. He left Harvard University in disgust after his work was stolen, and has had a career in finance whilst working on _Geometric Unity_ in his spare time. There is a draft paper for that but it is a work in progress, so don't assume that because it is typeset using LaTeX like papers which have been through a process of academic peer review that it is of comparable quality. He is quite honest about it not being finished. It is version 1.0 and he will probably have a new, still unfinished, version out in 2025 as he has said he plans to bring his podcast _The Portal_ back, and my guess is that he would feel better doing so after a constitutional election has calmed tempers as there hasn't been one since 2016 in the United States. Fact is, Joe isn't President. No one is.

You mean having the same quality as with all that covid "research" ?

What question is that?

@@alexgonzo5508 why you speak? Why not to fallow the law of nature? How? Why ? What? ? When? The big question 😄

Now you can learn something else; it's 'a lot' not 'alot.'

@@johnwarring2337 yah by playing words the next numbers.

Being a liar is not science, so why are you even considering liars as scientists? If you are a liar, you are not a scientist, no need to compare intelligence or character. Define scientists as a truthful person.

@@CrucialFlowResearch I don’t consider liars as true scientists but many people are famous scientists in the eyes of the public and who are not severely truthful as a true scientist should be. It’s not me but the public who are deceived by these fakers.

@@CrucialFlowResearch You still need a word for professional scientist. There are professional scientists who are liars.

Had a friend who was tired of being a dumb jock, champion athlete though he was, so he applied his sports discipline to self education. Met him in my major, where he forged ahead to be a scholar to be reckoned with, often the backbone of intellectual discussions with others. He just finished his thesis 😊

@@CrucialFlowResearch And many scientists are liars. Doesn't matter what is science. That there are morally corrupt scientists is what matters.

Yet he still cannot tell you geometrical unification is by 7 planes of light, by r > c, r = c, r < c as per H Bar to a note, music he still can not sing.

@@channelwarhorse3367 Lol, so I guess Eric is unfit for duplication & aerosal dispersal? *_TRUST !!_*

@timsexton Well, the pursuit of geometrical unification, he can only continue to step 🚶‍♂️ into shoes 👞 to fill. Heroic BATTLES, to strike the heart of reality. With love, combustion of water, as UFOs 🛸 use 7 planes of light ✨️ will he step INTO WAR, for his manners & memes, Tim, Sexton he can punch 👊 or take HITS.

Eric has his own podcast named the portal!

What other science is there? Non materialistic science can't ever be proven, because once proven it becomes materialistic. So non materialistic science could only be ideas.

@@inajosmood As you state it, you seemingly make sense, but you're behind the times where there is a movement to expand the parameters of science to include what is beyond that narrow band of materialism. Do a search for "non-materialist science" and you'll find a treasure trove.

Too many people, especially scientists, undervalue imagination.

What about dark energy? Heard that was a boring measurement. Just dotting the 👁️ and crossing the 🫖 . Turned into a huge wtf

Need for metaphysics vary from person to person. I personally accepted that there are questions which we may never have the answer to. But I am cognizant of the fact that many people cannot live with "I don't know", they must have a belief that they have the answer, otherwise they are lost in uncertainty. I think that Eric conflates two things - the literal need for the answers, as I just described, which can be satisfied only by religion, and benefits of rituals (praying, meditation, etc.) which many atheists exercise without summoning supernatural. I think he is doing the latter. I don't do any of this, unless you count closing your eyes and listening to Oscar Peterson as meditation:)

mhmm! The east is embarrassing the west right now... from papers on electrochemical transmutation in china - indian engineers and mathematicians proving calculus is false math.... john napier made most mathematicians redundant so they turned solutions into problems to give themselves a long lasting career in physics.

What does this comment mean? I'm curious, but I don't get it. I'm particularly intrigued by the reference to "Talmudic excesses" but I don't understand what that means or how it bears relevance in this context. The reference to a Chinese style cultural revolution is also lost on me.

My bad, I'm sorry, I'm only 4:00 but I assumed the whole thing was about science. Judging by the other comments it seems like there's some discussion of faith and religion so perhaps "Talmudic excesses" will make more sense in that context.

This is a short video about abuse of good/great science and I am with you. What i make fuss about is the fact QM isn't a theory, yet few rules make it the most unreasonably effective, but since the time of Einstein it remains 'incomplete' and avoid good/great science and resort to what results in covid and opioid abuse in the name of science. Moreover I think we aren't doing anything to improve the situation. I got the impression you want to rectify the situation. Chinese cultural revolution was devised to ensure that global powers never again humiliate the Chinese, expecting this philosophy of Mao would help you in your fight to establish good science.@@avisternlieb449

You should read up on the Chinese "cultural revolution". You may change your mind about seeing it repeated. .

Maybe ... But what he is saying is that the self and material involvement with the social, rely on our ability to be in language agreement... Which is what the scientific method should be used for. It's the move to individual spiritually derived language that is fracturing society into tribal pieces. The dangerous part that he points out ... But also the modern view of the larger scientific institution as some kind of sterile, humanless, anti religion device, only inhabited by monetarily privileged people, not those of actual intellectual merit, that causes academia to lose sight of it's full potential... Sort of the post modern version of elitism in academia. You can't have society without materialism and technology, causing the necessity to share ideas in the first place. They are not mutually exclusive ideas. In fact they must exist together.

Exactly, blabla, but never contributed a single dime to any relevant field. But he, he talks like he knows all, so we should trust him!

What I've always felt like Eric was saying that there is just far too many amazing minds that are just being led the wrong career paths and ways of thinking. They are put into a box when they should be taking risk on stuff than string theory.

Isn't it important to educate people also and change minds?

Be brave Eric and say if trump is the next president then fkn disaster ensues But he has his audience

I’m Australian too: among; parody; compliment. Sorry, it’s Xmas.

Then don’t watch the GellMann interviews

There was a time when Scientists, Historians, Political Scientists, and Soldiers all got together to do just that; and with barely the shirts on their back!
