Eric Weinstein
@@TheToeOfEarlHarris apologist?
@@MortimerDuke83 nothing to apologize for. He actually says things with some substance. So far I've heard nothing up empty rhetoric from Eric.
"Don't trust anyone! They're all lying! Of course I'm not..." standard right wing b.s.
Our distrust in authorities is well-earned.
I’d like to add that to a certain degree, it’s intentional. There’s nothing more powerful than having the ability to point attention away from anything you don’t want to reach the light of day for your own ends.
Our own government has shown time and time again that they don’t work for us, however, if that’s the case why do we still bleed our tax money with every transaction?
Free speech is not the ability to speak. It is the ability to question.
Well said.
THANK YOU, JFC
Speech speech is great, but also requires attention to language.
Questioning is a type of speech.
If you don't have the ability to speak (a catch all for communication), you don't have the ability to question.
Think harder .
@@windtunnel5267That was horribly said.

" The machine is stronger than the vision we have for democracy", wise words. We have lost our ability to distinguish the values and principles that govern democratic principles instilled from years past. " TRUST" has been defiled and reduced to non-existent. I love how Eric and his brother Bret easily bring forth their arguments.
Free speech is the right to upset, offend, question, contrast, and be heard. It's about making sure ideas have sunlight on them constantly instead of a damp dark wet environment.
This was necessary. Thank you.
Spot on Eric! Especially your closing remarks....."It comes down to not loving your children." Thank you Eric.
It's heartbreaking to watch society collectively looting our children's future.
Eric hit it right on the head, but the undertones are creepy
@PaulStringini they are looting our children's youth and childhood experiences as well
feminism is supported so women give up their children. take them from their own familys. make government the dad
Nah, the "not loving your children" thing doesn't make sense and is a spurious conclusion. It's way more complicated than that, and is a combination of many factors. It would also be interesting to determine whether Eric's lifestyle, possessions, creature comforts, etc reflect the kind of person who "loves their children;" if it does, I'd expect that his life and daily routine would be radically different than that of the average person.
Christ, how spot on. It hurts. Thanks, Eric.
I think a lot of people may be struggling because although they know they're being lied to, they're overwhelmed by actually quite how much.
I do have some hesistancy about when someone says you can’t trust anybody but you should trust me.
I wonder if he thinks he can trust his boss Peter Thiel?
I’m an African-American male who is 31 years old and I freaking love Eric Weinstein he is a true genius and a father figure to any nationality or creed he speaks with so much reasoning and humility.
So am I. He's a p.o.s. that likes to hear himself speak.
You're american. Stop labelling yourself african.
he’s a tool.
Well everything he says about Americans institutions have been said by African Americans about them.
Humility is not something I'd ever accuse Eric of being...😂
it wasn't that Sam supported "institutions", its that he proved that everyone can be wrong, but Sam on his tower, is one of those who cannot say they were wrong and caught in TDS, that was the issue
Stop saying TDS like it's a real disease. If you can't see why Trump is the most morally corrupt person ever you are the one with TDS.
The cinematography is kicking through the roof!! This could've been a Masterclass production
He’s so right. I’m French, my country is in the same state. The world is in the same state… we need a change. A big one. All humanity is stagnant for too many time, just a he says, WW2 is finished since almost 80 years, and we didn’t choose the right leaders since
And when we do choose the right leaders, they are assassinated (JFK).
They learned the lessons that Goebbels taught about propaganda.
Institutions grow old like people. Basically the systems we once relied upon no longer works, or make sense. The world has changed too much. Now instead of addressing our issues for real lasting change which would require making sacrifices today. Politicians instead choose to kick the can down the road because they don't want to be be blamed for letting things get bad. The problem is the more can kicking we do the worst the problem gets and once things come crashing down it will be a lot harder. Basically things will reach crisis point before they can seriously get better.
Also this cycle isn't new. In the English speaking world there is a crisis roughly every 80 years the dramatically changes society, changes the ruling elites and sets on our path going forward. The last one was World War II when the college educated managers took over. Before that the American Civil War when the industrialist businessmen took over. Before that the American Revolution and the plantation owners. Before that the English Civil War brought the coastal merchants in charge and so on and so on.
If you don't stir the pot, all the scumm rises to the top.
You need to source your French governments site to understand initiatives, objectives (plans) before you throw yourself ignorantly into a political camp (ideology). You’ll find specific issues that fit, and those that don’t. Focus your attention on that, (your nation building, or destruction of you so choose that Blvd) and take your concerns home to your representatives.
17:25 this is the most powerful and true statement I’ve heard in a very long time. ‘The number of people I see liquidating everything so that they live out their final days in the style to which they’ve become accustom is impossible in a world where people love their children.’
What does this mean? I didn’t get it?
I don’t get it either. What does selling your assets in your 70s or 80s have to do with loving (or not loving) your children?
What it means is in days gone by a parent would be consoled if in old age they could leave their children better off through leaving them assets. What he is saying is that many are just saying "stuff the kids" I want my 3 holidays a year and new car every 3 even in retirement. The only way to do this is to slowly liquidate the potential inheritance of their children. It's basically the boomer me generation taken to its logical conclusion. The "oh well the kids will be fine anyway!....I mean I was, with my free education, full employment, low cost housing and rising stock market!" That is the point he is making.
@@tomjohnson971 the presumption is that historically people build on their families from one generation to another, each generation exist to serve so that the next is a bit better off. He is saying that people today are willing to consume the world as we know it rather than pass off a better one to their children.
@@stevenw2933 Yep. Like a lot of us he's well aware the boomers have completely crushed us. And on top of it they think they're killing it lol
Eric never stops making us think. Thx guys
And what we mostly think is "What in the world happened to the poor guy?"
@@dmitryspivak4586 a step above goes with a step beyond. Existence is complicated, no sacred cows. Life is a grind, smile or cry.
Yeah, Eric never stops making us think for arbitrary and unnecessary reasons. He's a master obfuscationist.
@@briansotosf85 to some, that is true. I would say too many refuse to think deeply for the thoughts that matter, and make the world move better, with possibilities. Perfection, that many seek, and find in their minds stifle the inquisitive. Peace
Man that last line about loving your children hit the nail on the head
That was a ton of bricks moment. Wow.
I immediately thought of the book "A generation of sociopaths: how the baby boomers betrayed America." If you like that quote, the author of the book gets into the nuts and bolts of it.
I feel like sometimes, the "smartness" of people can get the worst out of them.
Actually, with Sam Harris, it's a matter of being intelligent without being smart. To me, smartness has an element of wisdom - or at least experience - in it. Academics like Sam Harris have very little worldly or practical experience. They live inside intelligencia bubbles. Eric Weinstein is also a form of intelligencia - ie not overflowing with practical experience - but he doesn't live inside the normal bubbles, and that at least allows him to see bullshit when it is served on a platter for dinner. To be smart, one needs knowledge, experience and high intelligence to process the data. One also needs to not be inhibited by cultural/ideological impedance. Without experience, intelligence has serious limitations.
@@djknox2 Sam meditated himself into a corner and tried to argue his way out
I see this as relating to Eric tbh, not Sam
@@djknox2😂. Do you know how life? Weinstein is now of an academic than him😅. Sam has traveled and so much other stuff. You speak out of ignorance
@@robertblackwell8611Same, I think Sam is one of the few popular intellectuals who has kept a clear pov
The best Eric Weinstein clip I've ever seen. Pre-bunking malinformation are very useful terms and concepts that I will forever use to discern what's going on
Any information that exposes government propaganda (lies)... government now attempts to brand as malinformation. Do not buy it. This confuses the issue. Exposing lies and propaganda is what it is. Government does not want to be known as spreading lies and propaganda.
I've always thought he comes off as a pompous ass, but I think Chris helped him dumb it down for me in the sections that needed it. A fantastic clip. I think I'll actually watch the full episode now, whereas I'd usually hard pass Eric.
agree.
Breit Weinstein is a fake intellectual, he will never write any paper about any of his theories because he has nothing to offer but vapid words, physicians of all walk of life and real scientists have called out his BS, he never did anything, and will never adress real criticism about his theories that absolutely not work, and he has no paper about it, he is thin air and love to hear himself talk, nothing more.
My assessment isn't perfectly in parallel with Sam on this, but I found parts of Eric's narrative quite dubious and a little too confident and convenient for self and tribe.
To some degree .... there's evidence another phenomenon is going on in parallel, and might even be a greater driver:
Many smart overconfident people with heterodox beliefs that are mostly mistaken, but sometimes, somewhat correct get activated and triggered when the suppression of dissent or contrarianism gets aggregious enough. And because we've got alternative media ecosystems that allow them widespread dissemination of their perspectives and the ability to gather supportive audiences... they proliferate and become even more unchecked.
You don't need a superstructure for this to emerge, and the suppression, the genuine careful discrediting and sloppy manipulative prebunking are present simultaneously.... because human society is complex and chaotic.
Of course... we all prefer something more comprehensive.
That doesn't make the disaffected dissidents and their supporters generally or even mostly correct in their assessments.
Must’ve watched this three times by now. Thanks for posting 👍👍
Eric is so good at verbalizing what the rest of us are thinking and feeling, I love him for continuing to tell the truth to himself & the rest of us!
I project my lacking intellect to man saying big word I don't fully understand 🤗
He's an articulate person, no doubt, but I don't see any truth here. What did he actually say here that is valuable? Don't trust our institutions? You can just tell when experts are lying? I don't see what is so enlightening...
The host nailed it when he asked: is this just skepticism tuned too high? In my mind, the answer is yes. Eric is just adding more chaos, not clarity.
This is true but it's not a good thing... He's verbalizing what others are thinking. and he's spreading distrust and making more and more people think these cartoonish thoughts. He tells almost ZERO truth, but spins a good yarn that always just happens to position himself as sooooo smart and sooooo important and soooo connected to these elite networks....
Not for me, I hear a lot of grandstanding and very little insight, but that's just me
He literally said nothing
That last line was powerful. Worth a complete listen.
superb. much needed well articulated observation many of us share. Eric Weinstein, thank you. The C. Willimamson + E. Weinstein combo for the win! Thanks fellas.
I'm so glad so many are focusing on and discussing the truth.
Excellent! Thank you for saying what so many are thinking, stay brave🕊️
He literally said nothing
Brave?
This was the cleanest description of the current world I have heard. Good to see that Eric has kept his humor - but what clearer description of an honest person’s aspiration and badge of honour in these cowardly times is the phrase “I am a pre-bunked malinformant”.
U have to be kidding? Eric is a long winded blow hard
the cleanest description of a paranoid, cartoon version of the world... yeah. Eric is on a relentless campaign to embarrass himself among qualified academics, and ingratiate himself to people in the general public who like a good vs evil fairy tale. Life is not star wars, people. It's not the matrix. These are fiction stories. You've watched too many "they're out to get us" movies... It's almost impossible to get a worse description of how the world actually works than to listen to the Weinsteins... They live in a fantasy world, in which they are at the centre... heroic champions of truth somehow too lazy to do the actual work of researching and publishing real grown up scientific papers... oh yeah, because the "establishment" is trying to suppress them. right. or because they're too lazy or incompetent to do what normal adult scientists and academics do day-in, day-out all around the world. because it's actual hard work. not as easy as podcasting...
Bunch of nonsense
*Cases of dead science* The Gate-Keepers exist in legions within every field!
Engineering-Dead-Hydrogene car cover-up. How did Building 7 fall at 9/11 according to the official narrative?
Archaeology- Dead- The Bosnian pyramid 58 000 years old according to Carbon dating and it was made of a concrete material we cant replicate today. Micheal Cremos "Forbidden Archaeology" highlights the most incredible Archaeology findings and they are way more older than the "official narrative" of mankind's origin.
Biology- Dead- Bosnian pyramids and the true age of the Sphinx kills current biology.
Medicine-Dead- Covid Vaccine and the Cancer Cure Cover-up.
Physics-Dead- Quantum physics is currently killing the old-school science of physics. Also, see the impossible 9/11 narrative.
On and on it goes within every scientific field, I haven't time to bring up the death of all the other scientific fields.
Have they lied about everything?
Alex Jones was way more entertaining though. Eric should start pulling his hair out and foaming at the mouth, maybe sell some testosterone vitamins.
Chris, your roster of guests, and quality of interviews, sets a high bar of expectation for what interviews that are 'worth their time' ought to approximate. Well done! With all the buzz via short-form videos, your full-length interviews and even these 20-ish minute excerpts are a warm, welcome breeze in an era of increasingly diminishing attention spans. Thank you!
Your first sentence set the bar high for what word-saladeers ought to approximate.
Isn’t his roster of guests just the regulars from Joe Rogan’s podcast? And isn’t his interview style and format just a milquetoast, safer version of the JRE?
@@79Glitch wrote, _"Isn’t his roster of guests just the regulars from Joe Rogan’s podcast?"_
If you truly wish to know, consider making a list of the most recent 25 guests on each show, with air dates.
79: _"And isn’t his interview style and format just a milquetoast, safer version of the JRE?"_
Learn to distinguish between 'what something is', and 'how you respond to it'.
Quick example:
Imagine two young, attractive women sitting at an outdoor cafe in Paris. They're having a quiet conversation.
Suddenly, one of them notices an older man a few tables away. He seems to be staring in their direction. The woman who noticed the man seems bothered. Her friend notices, and asks what's wrong. She motions with her eyes in the direction of the old man's table. When her friend looks at him, she smiles.
The irritated woman asks her friend why she's smiling at some old guy who's obviously leering at them? Her friend replies that he reminds her of her late grandpa.
Meanwhile, the man never noticed the women who are reacting to him. He's sitting at the very table where he met his wife 53-years ago. His gaze is unfocused as he fondly remembers their first day. Earlier that morning, he received news that his wife had passed away, so this is the start of his grieving process.
Notice how each of the women projected onto the man qualities that weren't actually describing him. Instead, they were describing what was going on in their inner world.
It seems to me that you're doing the same thing by referring to the interview style as "milquetoast". Many people find that style engaging and insightful. So, it's at least possible that you're projecting some sort of baseline dislike for Chris by asking about a "recycled roster of guests from Rogan' and commenting on a 'milquetoast interview style".
You're entitled to your opinion, but at the same time, you're also responsible for discerning between your inner world and what's actually true 'out there' in the real world. Failure to make this distinction results in psychological projection. Some do it consciously, others subconsciously. What about you? Are you aware that you're doing this or no?
Thanks for your tireless and unrelenting efforts Eric.
Beautiful interview shot, BTW.
This is very, very good.
It’s great to hear Eric ..it’s a breath of fresh air
More like the smell of rotten egg fart.
And terrifying at the same time 😂
@@benz0317 how so?
@@frankforcinelli4645 Because he was illustrating how we still need institutions, as a society, but can no longer trust them.
@@benz0317 ok I see
Great talk. Thank you!
Loved this part of the discussion. This is where Eric is best, and his narration of the broader picture of society is spot on. Wish they would've explored further Eric's statement of the ruling generation "not loving their children" and how "people who love their children don't drill holes in their children's life raft" I've heard him mention this before, yet the podcasters choose not to delve into this. I'd love to see Eric explore that narrative further... and more so, have an on-air discussion about what to do about this now that it's been done.
probably this is to do with his take on the growth obligation built into the economy since Bretton woods 1971
@@markpmcdWell said! He's absolutely right when he said that 'without growth, everything becomes pathological'. I've seen the resentment in my own community for many years now, because imo we've been reeling from huge events that we haven't really adjusted to, or accounted for. The 'growth' since the financial crash has been invisibility attenuated, so we never regained that 'feel good' factor that spontaneously fosters hope, confidence and genuine generosity.
@@jamesthecat The growth since the financial crash was very real, it was just pocketed by the capitalist class.
Are you people for real? Eric is incapable of formulating a cogent idea if his life depended on it. His entire grift is reliant on implying what he's saying is profound, but he never really says anything of substance.
@@medstud It's a trick many neoliberals use, they deliberately obfuscate their ideology, they strictly avoid being open, honest and specific about their political goals and even alignments.
Great clip! You kept the conversation succinct with your questions - and asked for much needed clarifications. I've watched quite a few interviews with Eric, and not all interviewers do that. And it's easy to get lost in his reasoning if you get to preoccupied with keeping up with the minutiae you don't quite understand. Well done!
I so agree. I understood almost nothing of the triggernometry interview. I understood this one. It's hard to follow a lot of academic jargon without clarifications.
@@margaretmaeda2548the problem with triggernometry is that K&F are both secretly insecure, and so too eager to signal to interviewees that, "yes, I understand exactly what you're saying- go on..." They're afraid to sound like they could use clarification in order to fully understand someone. Don't get me wrong- I like those guys, but their interviews with people like weinstein and Harris- people who like to sound smart and will hide behind jargon when the convo drifts too close to an area where they lack complete understanding- usually fail because people like Eric and Sam would rather baffle you with bullshit if the convo goes to a place where they haven't fully understood the complexity yet
@@Chris_Patton Thank you for your answer. It gives me a clearer picture of what's going on!
I feel like EW talks in riddles sometimes. CW was great in cutting through that
easy to get lost because he quite purposefully tries to obfuscate his meaning with superfluous language and circular reasoning. charlatan and quite honestly not even a very good one. For the life of me I don’t understand the appeal, he sounds like an aggrieved fool who makes facile arguments that not only are unsupported with anything remotely resembling evidence but they’re also completely irrelevant! A fool with a megaphone.
I'm usually more of a Bret fan than Eric but damn, he hit it out the park in this. Glad to have watched this.
Eric is MUCH better. A better human.
@@shannontreiber1070Better… so limited amount of space or he only looks good if compared to his brother … or you need to take that word out of your vocabulary and see how things change…
Beautifully put. kudos.
Dianne Feinstein can't beat you anymore. Fascinating perspective Eric and right on the money.
I agree, the check sums are all off. I have zero trust in our institutions. It's a sad time in history.
The last minute of this clip where he talks about love for children: eye opener. Never thought of it that way, or at least have never heard someone verbalize it that way.
It’s funny how the same crowd that talks about leaving a good environment for their children and grandchildren are the same ones who do everything in their power to make sure their children and grandchildren have to suffer under the weight of monetary debt that is unpayable in their lifetime.
Great video!👍🏻
Eric and his brother Brett always do a phenomenal job speaking what the rest of us are thinking.
But they can’t ever back it up.
@@kenyonorama
Yes they can and they often do. Some people just refuse to listen because they're blinded their ideology.
@@acetate909This guy is high functioning conspiracy nut. He’s an expert on everything - in his own mind. If you think like him then you need help.
They are not in the same camp lmao. Brett is in full audience capture. He's got nothing to support his vaccine skepticism.
Eric is both sharp and truthful, deadly combination
Eric is both terribly uncharismatic and bore, a deadly combination.
Nothing is deadly without power
@@sabejreid2072 Aye, there's truth in that.
This is the way thank you Eric
“The bukkake of the gaps” is my new favorite saying 🤣
Great discussion here. Some times I find Eric too heavy for me but this is brilliant
Spot on with everything, respect to this man!
It's a day late and a dollar short but I am glad that Eric Weinstein understands why no one wants to have sex and families anymore.
In that case noting at all matters anyway, because we will be all but extinct in 2 generations of very low birth rates.
Because we don't trust our institutions? I think there are other reasons.
@@rocketpig1914Our society has been captured by anti human ideology that focuses narrowly on the self and the short term. We are committing suicide as a species at the moment. I think people are starting to wake up though
Beautifully put, Eric.
I had a guy I worked with that said something interesting. Roughly is that they don't have to kill you they just have to make it toxic professionally and personally to listen to you and share your ideas.
Thanks for this!
Whenever I listen to Eric, I am left without an inspiring thought - unike Bret.
Great conversation. I think his assessment of what Sam is missing is spot on.
Don’t believe your lying eyes, folks. Don’t believe your lying eyes.
Love the lighting and camera setups. I would increase the lighting on you and your guest and reduce the 'blow out' of the windows in the medium wide profile / side / 2 shot
Thank you for the intellectual honesty.
Eric is quite the curious person and he always seems to have thought deeply about things and links seemingly unrelated topics. I don't always understand his esoteric thoughts, but I feel he's always worth listening to.
He is very insightful and intelligent. In this discussion, I suggest a focus on the lack of love for our children- if people in power acted out of love and protection of children alone, we’d see a profound shift in behaviour that we’d all notice in our day to day lives. But our leaders and institutions are not likely to have been doing that. We need to love all our children deeply and act in a way that is their interests. They are our future and what they inherit, other than just money and property- is what will determine that they have it better than we do. Our children include: white, black, Arab, African, Asian.. all of us together and in no specific order. Inclusion is not a fairytale liberal idea.. it’s difficult and often messy and when we fail at it for no good reason or not a good enough reason, we need to admit it and make amends. Our futures depend on the fact that we get along and love each other and our children equally.
He's a bullshitter.
Eric is the exact opposite... He's profoundly incurious. He never does his homework. He mouths off about so many topics because he's thought so shallowly about them. All these unrelated topics? That's because he's weaving jargon-filled nonsense poetry, creating the impression of depth. But just look any one of his topics of interest - look more closely. On every single one, it turns out he's a know nothing blowhard.
We need this man to have a bigger audience. He is speaking to the truth of the world and current state of affairs.
Yeah, that's why I listen to literally any and every appearance he makes anywhere with anyone, for years now. He turned up about the time his brother Brett got caught up in the evergreen scandal, and has been non stop fire ever since, a never ending stream of good ideas and insights and information. He's been on Rogan, I want to say 3-5x, and tons of other podcasts, and I have yet to see a conversation with him that wasn't riveting from start to finish for somewhere around half a decade.
I find him a bloviating clown. And I’m glad I’m free to say that,just like all u folks who believe the stuff he says.
@@TheJeremyKentBGross Me too
@@TheJeremyKentBGross I mean the big scandal here is more how batshit insane Brett went during the pandemic. Have you seen his twitter account recently? Man got deranged pushing flawed science and can't comprehend that his predictions never got to fruition.
EW. Is a controlled authoritarian progressive who has propagandized for rule by expert of which he is one. He’s much smarter than Harris, but I believe he is controlled and full of shit on behalf of more powerful people.
Eric is great to listen to.
Chills ran trough my spine at the end of the video. Great clip!
I listen to Eric Weinstein from time to time, and he is exactly on point every time. He knows exactly whats going on except he has the progressive lenses. If you want to know the steel man version of someone whose not clueless or insane. He's good to listen.
Breit weinstein is a guru, not a real intellectual, he says very mundane things and is a secular sectarian guru fake intellectual just as much as J B peterson is, he's a charlatan at best.
A big to self righteous imo bug whatever floats your boat, he’s right about the ufo nonsense though
@@Man_fay_the_Bruagreed. All of these people trying to make a name for themselves by going onto these podcasts are. Im glad we have the vaccines. Not sure what his deal is here. Yes, we should have met skepticism with education. Unfortunately, the general public doesn't have the intellect to do that. They only know how to be aggressive (just look online at how this plays out). And not a fan overall of Chris W. over here. He's a nightclub manager, right? What clout does he have to do these podcasts. It's geared towards a male audience, so all of the BS topics he covers goes. It's not good. It's an echo chamber. He has slightly better guests than others, but it's the same shit.
"they're all discredited." Yeah dude. Most or all of them are morons. Harris is fine. Barry is ok. The others, no way.
he's on point for some things, yet calls trump a genius. Eric's extremely intelligent and well read, yet i don't think his departure from academia was as political as he makes it out to be: somehow geometric unity is fundamentally incorrect and functionally useless.
He conflates much of what is incongruent with the media to a systemic disfunction of our institutions, which is inherently contradictory and arrogant in its assumptions. The disinformation and spin guiding western propaganda often betray the people who work to maintain the integrity of organizations like the CDC. Failures in retrospect are not necessarily security-state level machinations perpetrated with malice, nor are the laws invariably exploited made in collusion as part of a grand design.
These things do happen, but just because our government is able to blow up a few buildings and cover it up doesn't mean that enemies aren't plotting to do worse for reasons which make even less apparent sense and so hearing Eric imply correlation as causation to paint a picture of shoddy wi-fi being wrought by hand-wringing architects of a shadow-government shows the ineptitude of his reasoning.
I love Eric Wrinstein. I need to listen to more of his recent thinking.
Amazing words! Everyone needs to watch this but I sadly know that's impossible. 😢
Thank you !!!
The philosophers are fighting again! ❤ thank you for having Eric on!
Love listening to Eric. Thanks.
This discussion is very reminiscent of Martin Gurri’s book The Revolt of The Public. The entire book explains this idea.
Your brilliant and I appreciate you so much ❤
Very eloquent Eric
I burst out laughing (instead of crying) as Eric described those in power - Nancy trading!😂It is unbelievable, truly, the upside down world we're witnessing. Eric, loved your point about travel - can't clean the seats, but the planes still fly. There is phenomenal incompetence in how businesses are run now. What a wonderful conversation. Thanks, Chris for breaking the 3 hour down into sections. Love Eric's rational and spot on views - and Chris, your points are so sharp - as are your timely questions. Lovely mix of wry/dry humour and serious observations.
And,yet he says Dangerous right....

It's only partly incompetence, the other part is greed causing the cutting of as many corners as they can get away with for that little extra bit of profit.
Nobody wants the plane to crash because then no one would get on the plane. However, a dirty seat because they don't pay people to clean them properly won't stop people from getting on the plane.
@@amberyooper There is hardly anything that someone can't make a little cheaper and sell for a little less. Those who consider price only are this person's lawful prey.

@@Paul-zu2hd kind of. But what do you mean?
Well he managed to articulate all of my fears, frustrations and concerns. I love my children. Lets make the world a better place
"selective incompetence and madness"
Hearing that phrase gives my brain so much euphoria
Damn, man. Your production quality is insane.
Yes, the institutions have crumbled, they are done. We deserve better. I have been reading about initiatives on many fronts - economic, banking, medical, education, agriculture, etc - since 2008 and I have been impressed by how much is understood and how much better things can work for all of us if we put our mind and muscle to it. However, we need a shift in attitude, better yet: a change of heart. Our future is at stake.
"You're dead to me!" Eric said it all, right there.
Can you give me some context on this? I've never actually listened to Sam Harris at all. Was Sam Harris very pro vaccine and believed the mainstream covid narrative and attacked Eric for going against it? I'm just confused on the context of this whole thing. Eric speaks so metaphorically and esoterically it can be hard to understand what he's refuting at times.
@@beeman4266 Sam Harris went all-in on the mainstream narrative during covid. He was completely unwilling to have an honest discussion, basically dismissing any counterargument in the typical arrogant way we have come to know from him in the last few years. He also made some truly abhorrent comments on the Triggernometry Podcast about a year ago that he has yet to account for. He caught so much flak over it that he deleted his Twitter. It revealed him to be ideologically posessed, and when pressed on the issue since, he only doubles down instead of taking an honest look in the mirror. To me (and many others), he lost all credibility, both as an intellectual and especially as an authority on morality.
I'm curious as well since I don't really follow any of these guys a ton. I have heard Sam Harris and Bret Weinstein go back and forth on COVID. I can tell you that Sam is pro vaccine and Bret is anti vaccine. It got to the point where they weren't just debating each other. They were both being immature and insulting each other, attacking each others character at times, and it was actually sad to see, especially since they were friends, they both let their disagreements on COVID drive them apart, which I find absolutely ridiculous. I know they're both better than that. I have not heard Eric's position on these topics, but I assume he takes the same stance as Bret, since they're brothers and given what he said here. I have not heard Sam mention Eric specifically, or Eric mention Sam specifically regarding this topic until now, so I am also curious to the context of this. I'm curious to Sam and Eric's specific context , and what they have both said about each other before this, and how it got to this point from Eric's perspective. I'm also curious to Sams current perspective on Eric and his opinions.
The your dead to me refers to no longer trusting anything fauci days because he's be shown to have lied bold faced.
Sam has been a stern supporter of "trusting the experts", which in this case is fauci, who has been shown to be a liar, but this doesn't bother Sam so much, so erik groups Sam into being similarly an issue.
@@uhnborhn5032interesting. What has Fauci had lied about exactly? And can you distinguish between HIS lies vs lies he was ordered to tell by Trump?
To seek and know Truth is the greatest to do in our life.
Thank you Eric!
Wow, this is one of the best discussions I've listened to in quite a while.
Eric Weinstein understands
Trying to follow his train of thought is like chasing a squirrel on an espresso binge
Dude is just another talking head. Charismatic clown talking around in circles about nothing and an average intelligence interviewer nodding his head in agreement to anything that he says.
I can follow along without any problem. 🤔
no. He is lucid. His mind is brilliant. Try to keep up.
The end was really profound and depressing. I hope we can regain our love for our children and our families.
Great discussion!
One of the most beautiful interview / video podcast setups I have seen. And content that matches. Keep it up.
Very insightful. Thank you.
Discernment is the most important skill one has in modern times. The politicians are certainly a problem, but it's the unelected bureaucrats and powerful elites that worry me the most.
I'd love to hear him elaborate on his point about pathology in the absence of growth. Interesting!...🤔
That final point hurts. Even in my family I see the past generation liquidating their assets to live in an RV or a cruise until they die. hundreds of thousands of dollars of potential generational wealth being squandered for just a bit more fun before the end.
In my situation, I feel as though I've been regularly asked to sacrifice my own future, health, and financial resources to get housing and healthcare for dying parents before I've even had the chance to build a life of my own.
"You have to take care of them, it's your responsibility" As if my first responsibility is to the past generation. It's totally inverted from how it should be.
Same.
That makes us “dysfunctional to the institutions.” I do not have the ability to be a synthetic yes-man inside synthetic institutions, I can only be my authentic self, therefore an outcast to the institutions.
This about sums up everything and it was put so well.
It's a complete lack of imagination to say people can't upend and walk away from the institutions that betrayed them for shareholder profit.
The last 5 minutes is brilliant. I need to cut and paste Eric's example of the commercial airliner to lots of people who think the institutions are sacrosanct.
Safety being compromised will absolutely hurt the bottom line--the seat not reclining/some comfort loss can be skimped on/easy place to cut corner$ with no real downside is my guess.
I don't know anyone who thinks that the institutions are "sacrosanct". But a lot of people do think that institutions are necessary and broadly useful. As imperfect as they are, they make the system work.
This is what happens when the Alphabet is running everything, has everything classified, and is politically partisan.
I'm a combat Vietnam Veteran (2/502 Infantry, 101st Airborne) who is dying because the same man who sponsored the "Peace Corps" in 1961. also sponsored my death along with 400,000 other American and Australians through the introduction of "Operation Ranch Hand" in 1961; the spraying of Agent Orange (Dioxin Poison) in Vietnam ... I was drafted from college as the government of the day decided to increase the "Credit Hours" a student needed to carry to avoid the draft and finish school.
This is/was not the America my father and Grand Father fought in two world wars for ... how my mother (a nurse) told me as an American, my country needed me to fight the communist! ... and how as an American citizen, when your nation calls , you go.
At least the darkness is winning and shortly I'll be gone ... God Bless America. ... You can keep Donald, worship your Confederate Generals and hate your neighbors ... right now your sons and daughters are too young to even drink, yet old enough to kill.
By God the checksum comperison is amazong! Eric I love your work you have a beautiful mind!
Thank you guys by helping us getting better thought!
Such a brilliant mind eric has was another top level conversation
Eric is so spot on in this entire clip, holy hell.
What impresses me about Mr W is his ability to talk on absolutely any subject.
That shouldn’t impress you. Typically people who speak about any subject know very little about any of those subjects.
Thank you Eric for speaking truth about institutions colleges, media, corporations, social media, government can’t trust the lot of them anymore. Takes allot of extra work, but comparing data from online sources, opposing sources, we now know how orchestrated much of these institutions deal In… allot.
I listened to this entire podcast. Brilliant!🧐
Holy Shit Chris! This episode is an absolute logic bombshell! This needs to be downloaded before it gets taken down.
They did spit in our faces! Biggest scam of all time.
"It comes out of not loving your children". Profound.
