      That's certainly the norm. But how then do kind, well meaning, intelligent people find their ways into leadership positions in government as opposed to these sleazy type B narcissists with personality disorders? Is it possible for good people to get into politics? It appears to be something that needs to change. The world is going to continue to be a nasty place if we're left with the Bidens and Trumps of the world to choose from. RFK jr is a no brainer improvement, but nobody thinks he can win. He is a step in the right direction, no doubt.

    One of the issues I have with Eric Weinstein is that he will say something completely unclear, and then just sit there and act like you should totally know what he is talking about, and then you have to prod him to get an explanation to some arcane point he is trying to make.
    American political parties are a -troth- trough (apparently I can't spell) .
    No explanation, just sits there smugly acting like that sentence makes any sense absent an explanation. He does this all the time, and it bugs the crap out of me, to the point that I can barely stand to watch him in conversation.

      You're not alone in this opinion.
      I like the general ideas this guy brings up but he comes off as such a conceited "I know things neither you nor anyone else knows" narcissist that I can hardly stand listening to him. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt - maybe he's well meaning but simply can't communicate. Regardless, I don't find him worthy of attention.
      First and foremost, he is NOT a good communicator and, in fact, comes off as incoherent at best and arrogant at worst. Sure, he has some good ideas and seems to be a contrarian by nature (I am too), and yeah maybe you could argue what he's doing is using "metaphor" but why? Why not simply speak plainly for people to understand. Why be so cryptic? Why be so obtuse?
      He's speaking this way to be more theatrical or to come off as being "deeper" than he really is. He's not this being who's just so smart he's thinking on a level beyond what us plebians can understand, he's just a guy who can't seem to communicate intelligibly.
      Many of his sentences are just empty and lacking in genuine content. He simply hints at possible things, gives cryptic responses, or just babbles incoherently. Yes, he makes some interesting points but a lot of it is incoherent rambling and, I'll chance a guess, confabulation.
      It's not that I or others didn't understand what he might've been trying to say - we're all likely intelligent enough to understand the general picture. But it's the way he goes about it that raises red flags for so many of us.
      In fact, I would wager serious money that the more intelligent and/or educated one is, the higher the likelihood they would find Eric Weinstein to be an unreliable source of information.
      I'll also add, as mere testimony, that I've known people like this - if you're seeing something special, I'm sorry to say it's likely smoke and mirrors.
      Mr. Weinstein: Stop pausing for dramatic effect so much as if we're just hanging on every word you say. You're not the smartest, richest, wisest, sexiest, most educated, most interesting or most accomplished person who's been on this podcast.
      Again Mr. Weinsein: You're just one of many who may have some interesting perspectives and ideas to present but that's it. Just say what you mean, give your honest opinion without all the theatricality, and have a real, genuine conversation.

    Eric Weinstein is being as honest as anyone can be. Most of us don't know what to do with ourselves as it pertains to the state of the nation. His introduction about a two party trough was spot on. We have to get rid of the current political class who are bleeding our treasury and dragging our sons and daughters into wars to make donors happy. They have to go.

But none of them actually run for office, b/c the game is too nasty. Who would want to work or fight with a bunch of corrupt a-holes for a multi year term.
      Even if a decent person were to get into office, among other mostly lower character people, and tried their best, they would be blamed for what they failed to achieve more than praised for anything they accomplished. And those that opposed them would slander them via the media, like they make RFK Jr out to be a kook, b/c he actually dares to talk about fighting the corrupt system itself. It's a very unappealing life path that does not beckon to good people who don't enjoy conflict.

    It's so ironic that people are waking up now at the last minute, when the devil is already in the living room. I've been screaming about this for 40+ years and no one would listen. Now they're like, what are we going to do?

    Eric is utterly in love with himself. I used to watch him for his unique perspective until the last year or so. He bathes in his Arrogance and narcissism while putting others down. I made it through this one but it hurt lol

      @@father3dollarbill The great Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein painted a picture of an eye looking through a hole in the wall. And the thought bubble of this surreptitious viewer reads: "I can see the whole room, and there's nothing in it." I say this to illustrate that to the contrary, we do understand everything Eric is saying...and there's nothing in it.

    Eric is my favorite thinker. Out of all of you online guys, whom i do also appreciate, Eric has the most depth. Every time he opens his mouth he has a lot to say and the only people who won’t notice that are the ones who are looking for someone to hand them all of the answers. Eric doesn’t do that. The depth and thoughtfulness of his answers, especially when Chris keeps trying to nail him down, speaks volumes i wish everyone could hear.

    Eric did make an interesting comment. He mentioned about the world not being sane (Starting at 6:25) He mentions about questioning one's sanity, and this is one problem of a managed reality. We are being fed a reality.
