    EDIT NOTE: I edited this episode quickly and made a couple of mistakes in how rough the cut looks. One weird cut is after the 2 hour mark, where it sounds like Bret is about to make a point, but I actually interrupt him for clarification and then go of on a tangent and never return. I edited out the interruption which made the cut look weird. I failed here both as an interviewer and editor. I'm trying to get better at both, and hire help for the latter, since I still do it all alone. Please be patient with me.

Watching this video and the one with Sam Harris forced me to feel such an intense wave of gratitude that I literally cried. I'm still struggling to absorb the idea that I'm not alone in valuing deeply profound thoughts. If you read this Lex/Bret/Sam please know you've all impacted my life in ways I'd not thought possible.

      @@andyvogel9817 I will check that virology link. I don't know enough about virology to be able to sift, but I do feel confident that Bret was not speaking in bad faith and noted that he avoided excess hubris to his assertions and possible hypotheses and questions. I don't see him parallel to Q-Anon crap like Plandemic (resentful ex doctor) or the first-aid clinic doctors.
      On the other hand the fact that they censored Bret when he was speaking with a renowned experienced medical doctor (and censored his US Senate testimony), and have censored other legit medical doctors with mainstream cred .. except for a bit of a critical angle or even questions and curiosity, that's disconcerting.
      I mean if YT wanted to censor somebody who said SARS-COV2 is a plan from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, well I prefer no censorship but at least that reaction is understandable. Not this.

    I remember the first time I improvised a guitar solo that was truly " inspired". Inspired in the sense that it did not come from me but rather from somewhere else. I know what you're thinking because I used to feel the same way. This is what people refer to as anything from being in the zone, to feeling the holy spirit, to being possessed. All I know is that I was no longer "thinking" about what to play, which is what one does even while improvising. Typically while improvising you're playing things that you know will work in a given context, but I only thought about the first phrase and after that I just played what the song wanted me to. It's like I noticed it after it had already been going on for awhile. I didn't have to think about anything at all really, the music was playing me! That's really the best way I can describe it. Get some freinds together and jam out, just do it, there is nothing like that feeling. Probably the only thing that I would ever call spiritual to happen to me.

I see you distrust CZcamsrs out to make a few bucks, you really think corporations are putting human safety over money??? Because that’s your argument. We have the opiate epidemic as a real good example of corruption and corporate profits over human safety. They said it wasn’t addictive.

    I just had a chance to watch your interview with Brett Weinstein. I appreciate your balance approach to the questions and Brett’s used your questions as teaching moments. This is the best interview I’ve seen that gives open minded people information without a skew. It’s a fine line to walk and you do it beautifully.
    Im an old broad so take this seriously. I speak the truth I’ve learned as an empathetic 70 years on this earth. I think you have what we call in the South you have an old wise soul. You seem older than you are and I feel younger each day. This all has me reliving my old hippie days of protests and sit-Ins about our military losing at one time 100k brave soldiers that were my friends that were drafted without choice to join military. Vietnam was a war that we felt was for nothing good but for invasion of another country for assets. I’ve never trusted the government since. Perspective is very important. That’s why I’m sharing my story with you. I’ve never forgotten how manipulated we felt as they portrayed us as kids who used drugs. That was farther from the truth! Besides even if we were smoking marijuana from Mexico (that’s a big hint on the government too) we would just eat and sleep. While alcohol was killing people. Tell me what’s up with that?
    Sorry for long rant but I love your work and thought I’d take the time to give you another perspective from your grandmother you don’t know❤️🙏🌈

    Viruses are what cause inflammatory reactions within the body of every living thing. Bacteria, allergens, or other chemicals or endocrine disruptors can be cause for immune system responses. For example the flu,& common cold are also Corona viruses, & cause upper respiratory distress and digestive issues as those parts of our bodies are the first step in ridding the body of the foreign substance, bacteria. If the bacteria causes viral symptoms & cannot be isolated & identified, we simply go with the symptoms & probable bacteria that could have caused the viral inflammatory response. Did everyone forget about eugenics & getting rid of undesirables & increasing desirable traits in humans/ animals??
    Yeah we have things called "viruses" because we don't know & cannot ISOLATE the BACTERIA or other ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOR / ALLERGEN or the actual CAUSE OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM TO SOMETHING FOREIGN TO THE BODY.
    Lab leak or not, this whatever it was, should not have been being experimented with by anyone.
    Dabblers are often the intellectual idiots that cause these issues for humanity at large. STOP PROMOTING EXPERIMENTAL STUFF THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND,& DON'T THINK THAT IT WILL NOT HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL OF HUMANITY.
    IF YOU HAVE ATTENDED A UNIVERSITY YOU WILL BE BRAINWASHED. I KNOW I DIDN'T EVOLVE FROM A MONKEY.

      I worked with an Italian dude at a government contractor job in the EU, and he was telling me that in order to be a successful politician in Italy you have to "really like kids", be coke addict, or have a very serious gambling problem, SOMETHING. You must have some serious vice by which you can be controlled. He said "honest men cannot be trusted."
      For example, secret societies often require members to do things that would completely destroy their life if anyone found out, because it creates an "honor among thieves" with mutually assured destruction blackmail materials all around. Or at least those a layer behind you. You are locked into a circular firing squad where everyone important has metaphorical nuke codes, and nobody wants to die.
      A LOT of high level government folks, if not all, are members of such organizations.
      If you somehow manage to get past the gatekeepers and into anything meaningful in government without being controlled, you WILL be treated like Trump was by the media, as well as endless corrupt judges and agencies and their apparatchiks.
      You don't drain the swamp, the swamp drains you, by ANY means necessary.
      If they didn't successfully get away with their coup in November I'd bet DT would have been JFK'ed. He probably got off easily all things considered.
      As George Carlin said: it's a big club, and you are not in it! You and I are not in the big club folks!
      You MIGHT have a chance at local politics, but the big boys play for keeps. Lots of suicides among folks who looked to have dirt on the Clintons, for example.

These are the people who are worth listening to. They work on quantum gravity daily. Eric is not a practicing physicist. It is impossible to keep up with the massive volume of technical developments that have occurred in a field if you have left it for over 20 years. It is simply not possible. His paper on geometric unity has no reference whatsoever to numerous developments in recent years. How do you link it to the standard model? How does it make testable predictions? If you can't provide adequate answers to these and numerous other developments which have occurred in the last 20 years, then it's not worth anybody's time. It either makes testable predictions or it doesn't. His theory does not. It's that simple. Crazy ideas are a dime a dozen in theoretical physics and almost all of them are wrong. It is incredibly hard to come up with a great new idea in physics and if you haven't been following hte field for 20+ years, it is almost guaranteed your ideas are incorrect, because how could you possibly explain the most recent developments that actual physicists who work daily on a given topic have developed?

That alone is a strong indicator that the virus was developed expressly as a bioweapon and possibly released intentionally, as uncomfortable as that may be to accept (if true). Also there's a developing story about a CCP spy chief who may have defected to the US with major secrets in tow. Hopefully we'll get more on this soon.

    I am so glad Bret has brought some nuance to the Covid conversation, he’s been on the money with Ivermectine, the lab leak and vaccines. Great conversation Lex!

      @@timeabiro3878 Ivermectin doesn't work. It's been refuted in numerous studies at this point. The problem is that people on this channel want to believe alternative theories because so-and-so said it was true, when the entire medical community is overwhelmingly saying the opposite. Bret Weinstein is not a virology expert. He has a background in evolutionary biology. There is absolutely no reason to take his opinion more seriously than the experts who have actually authored and studied the effects of ivermectin for a living, who resoundingly say it is not effective against Covid.

    Why doesn't anyone talk about the fact that the NIH has a study online that Ivermectin is successful in 86% of early, mild to moderate cases of Covid but they said they (still) were not recommending it because the number of participants was too small?

    Lex, we must also admit that much, if not a majority, of what we have declared as definitive through scientific method has constantly changed, morphed, or been outright wrong. Science said leeching was effective. I’ve been covered in leeches up to my knees...there wasn’t much I would consider as therapeutic benefit from that experience. I love what you’re doing. This is all so compelling...the flopping and flailing to gain definition is only unique to our species. We are the only species that is uncomfortable with a temperature fluctuation of 5 degrees one way or another. We contemplate our existence, while other species just exist. There is only one legitimate answer and you’ve consistently brought it forth. It’s love and compassion. It’s noble to attempt understanding, but sometimes it is advantageous to throw our hands in the air and realize we don’t understand a thing. We are so quick...here and gone...we want when we should give. I love your thoughts about music. I attempt to play a number of instruments, and although I’m terrible at playing, I love being in my studio with my guitars, keys, sax, and percussion. I can burn days were I not interrupted. We are an anomaly and we fool ourselves into the idea that definitive knowledge is a thing. We are in the cave, defining shadows, until we see the real thing and run back to the cave.
