1. This was a fun, interesting, and challenging conversation, which is the best kind. It was great to have Eric back at MIT and Boston that was home to him for many years.

2. Interesting but Tom Lehrer who is recommended here was not even a fan of his own work giving up in the 70's. Clever but inconsequential

3. no one:
   lex: beautifully put

4. That's one smart cookie.

5. Is there an analogous dumping function that could cause the present oscillation between Globalization and Nationalism? What could be the analogous social components of this dumping function? I really hope we would soon reach social steady state.

6. Ineffable greatness, Eric.

7. Lex show me your tongue, at the tip of that tongue you can sense vaginer juice, thats one dimension.

8. This is one of the smartest human being i've ever listened to.
   Incredible.

9. I feel like i've had one of the best few hours time in my life after this podcast.

10. Who voted in Joe Rogan as a Public intellectual and part of the Int. Dark.Web? I thought he approximate s the Everyman. Read *average" man.

11. Lex please don't do Ayahuasca because it damages people's brains. My parents and I know a scientist in person who discovered the discrimination ribbon in the brain Dr. Hinderk Emrich he works with people who had fried their brain matter so badly that they were not functioning anymore. We have to be able to navigate ourselves through the 3D otherwise we become victims of the human ape predators (aka Richard Berman and others doing the same). I know a lot of old hippies from the boomer generation and they do Not function anymore they believe in very out there conspiracy theories and also cling to them for "comfort" and they can't even count their money anymore they're all on SSI. I never wanted to go that route I need my precious brain to be of service for the animals and all innocent beings.

12. Regarding the Discrimination Ribbon discovered by Dr. Emrich that subject is mindblowing in a metaphorical sense and mindblowing in a literal sense if one takes such substances which I do Not recommend. We can achieve those states also in meditation in a holistic, natural and gradual way without damaging the brain cells or formations. What Dr. Emrich discovered was so shocking to the scientific community that nobody wanted to talk about it out of fear of undermining everything they have ever learned it would also undermine their Egos if they even acknowledged that this discovery is There. What he found out is that this discrimination ribbon at the center of the brain has evolved that way in order to filter out outerdimensional energy apparitions that frequently come and go and swirl around us. If that ribbon becomes weakened through hallucinogenic drugs we see that outerdimensional energy field. I have witnessed it incidentally once when I tried to commit suicide with Pieris Japonica not knowing that it had a friendly hallucinogenic effect. The plant tea almost caused a cardiac arrest it slows the heart pulsation frequency way down my husband had to shake my upper body to keep my heart going. What I saw under Pieris was phenomenal. I saw what many other people have seen through other plant substances. I saw that flickering sun but in the middle of the sun was a black area and in the middle of the black round area was the eye of the Blue God which is an entity that I had been painting since 2003. The eye appeared in exactly the very rectangular shape in which I always paint it with acrylic colors. The eye was silent but it looked at me with infinite love and also with authoritativeness. It said to me "you know that you want to be of service".

13. Great Stuff.

14. I think Eric Weinstein might be my favorite person. So interesting.

15. Great podcast

16. 0:50 Kung-Fu Panda and Tom Lehrer
    23:15 “Nobody knows the meaning of life…” – “Oh, they didn’t tell you?” – chuckles
    41:31 two dimensions of time? “you could just head over to Building 2 and talk to the mathematicians, or you could go talk to a Shaman and end up in Peru”
    43:10 the terrible choice: loyalty to the consensus and microscopic heresies in academia vs the risk of losing your way but being allowed a larger heresy and making use of your freedom while contending with lunatics and madmen outside of academia, still maintaining a level of discipline for yourself.
    48:42 Best rant about theoretical physicists and mathematicians, their community, their achievements and shortfalls and the lack of recognition.
    58:29 “You don’t want to get rid of everybody who is pre-correct and currently crazy”; Popper and Dirac and the dialogue between theory and experiment;
    1:00:32 The Double Helix (Watson) and whose careers have to be put to the sword not being about fairness, but keeping those who you fear: they might be onto something right in the end
    1:06:08 “They can do better: Why do Google, Facebook, Twitter engage us in such low-level discussions?” … “I do not wish to be part of your fake conversation.” – “Why is every gadget a listening-device?” – “Where is my lens-cap?” – “It’s about social control.” – “There is emergence and intention, and everybody who suggests there is no intention is a child.”
    1:12:37 Capitalism nurturing Revolution by ignoring the Human Soul and being disappointed by your own team
    1:16:54 “Nice” is dead, “Good” has a future. “Nice” ends up with Gulags.
    1:21:15 You owe us your struggle, but you don’t owe us success. – You have to struggle, you have to try, but you are not totally responsible for your failure (or success).

17. Please Eric go into details of your struggle in learning math, what the problems were (specifically) and what type of insights and practices got you through to the other side.

18. Tom Lehrer takes it to another level. SO gooood! Thanks. Now to continue this podcast…….😊

19. Excellent.

    Thank you.

20. Maybe the most gratifying podcast ive listened to.. Loved the back an forth of argument, this really made me "think".. Hope to see a part 2 with this great brain. Thank you Lex Fridman for this one

21. Eric's hair looks sentient.

22. Eric Weinstein re-defines human intelligence. His ideas clear my sinuses.

23. frank-in-sense,💓 love the fragrance…ty…

24. 1:09:13 Eric switches his step here and I’ve never had so much respect for someone.

25. I wonder if AI would be shared to me, mr nobody. Any question I have it answers a trustworthy answer to follow through to.

26. Eric You Irradiate envy

27. Not a huge fan of Eric Weinstein by any means, but great podcast! Interesting, none the less.
