How to make clips of Eric Weinstein's appearance on Joe Rogan today? 4 hours of consistent insanity, and everything he says is buried under three layers of narcissistic Weinstein lore. Well here's an attempt anyway.

1/ Eric now thinks the UFOs really are aliens
2/ Lots of talk of his theory of everything (GU) being our only hope of getting us off this planet by giving us the power to traverse extra time dimensions. So why isn't Elon consulting with him!?
3/ Eric is simply more ethical than other physicists, who doomed humanity by creating nukes and then didn't bother coming up with a theory to get us off this planet
4/ Eric is only instrumentally interested in UFOs because he thinks the alien technology may prove his theory of everything correct
5/ By the way, Eric and Sam have been contacted by government agents promising to reveal important secrets to them. Somehow, this never materializes. Still, Eric knows secrets he cannot reveal.
6/ And of course, the conspiracy bonanza. For anyone who thinks Eric isn't as bad as Bret.
7/ Eric again goes into how he was actually the first to discover the Seiberg-Witten equations but was betrayed by Cliff Taubes in grad school. "Do you notice how everything you love gets destroyed? Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, Bret Weinstein?" That's why we must leave Earth
8/ More conspiracy bonanza! Eric, unlike Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson and Bret Weinstein, realizes that the government has deprived us of our ability to reason. Sam Harris has been trapped in a vortex of exponentially branching realities by Trump's ambiguities!
end/ Eric pls come back and do more Portal podcast I'm tired of your brother

I watched James Lindsay on Joe Rogan for three hours and I learned some stuff, like Boeing is intentionally using DEI to commit suicide in order to make space for a Chinese competitor because the WEF is maoist
China is transing our kids because it's part of their neoliberal Maoist worldview as espoused by Deng Xiaoping
At this point Joe Rogan just compulsively brings up every random confused right wing talking point from the last 5 years

e.g. 'they' are associating fitness with being right wing. This is to make the population soft, weak and easy to defeat

This interview is actually quite funny. Bjorn Lomborg talks about five different causes we should put money towards (instead of climate change). Bret, who thinks we shouldn't be mitigating climate change, also shoots down all five causes, each for a different conspiracy reason
Bjorn Lomborg says we should provide tablets with literacy software to children in developing countries

Bret says no; the bad guys will use those tablets to deliver propaganda to the children
Bjorn Lomborg says we should be mitigating malaria with insecticide-treated mosquito nets, saving 200,000+ lives per year

Bret says no; the insecticide might be toxic and get into the water supply

Sadly Sam Harris and Eric Weinstein's Triggernometry episode today was all about Israel/Palestine😭 Please do not construe this thread as being about geopolitics - this thread is about Weinsteinology 🙏

What it's like to talk to Eric Weinstein:
Also I paid 7 of my human dollars to Konstantin Motherfucking Kisin in order to watch the bonus Q&A where they talk about Bret 🎉

Turns out that while Sam thinks Bret is mostly wrong about the pandemic, his main beef is that Bret supports Alexandros Marinos...
Sam always couches his criticisms of Bret in bizarre ways. He accuses Bret of "platforming whacky people" in the middle of the pandemic.

He's either being highly diplomatic or he doesn't realize that Bret himself is as insane as anyone he interviewed.

Fun moments on DarkHorse Podcast episode 183:

1/ Bret has discovered Nazi Twitter, and is appalled to discover his friends from Covid Contrarian twitter there.

Do they not understand that genocide is bad? Bret does, because he wrote a paper about it in college.
2/ Heather responds by noticing a tendency among her friends on transphobe twitter to believe oddly regressive things like "women shouldn't be allowed to vote."

(this is of course woke people's fault)
3/ Very odd that people who agree with Bret and Heather about stuff would have far right beliefs like this.

By the way, birth control may destroy civilization (if "used irresponsibly")

RFK Jr.: "A willingness to look at contrary evidence and to recognize that I'm wrong is part of my makeup. If you can show me data that shows people that get the covid vaccine are more likely to live and have healthier lives, I will fold my tent.”
This interview is from 2021 (Bret just released it yesterday for some reason).

I love how empty this rhetoric is. OK, two years have passed. Piles of studies have shown the covid vaccines cause decreased mortality and decreased all-cause mortality.
Here's pages of studies examining the outcomes of covid vaccination just in England from the latest vaccine surveillance report: ()assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…

1/ My new follower and inveterate moron @briebriejoy tweeted this yesterday:

"I read up on the RFK Jr. autism stuff over the course of a 3 hour train ride and now I'm ready to "debate." Honestly don't see why folks are so squeamish."

Then she interviewed RFK with 0 pushback.
2/ Here are some things she could have said.

RFK Jr: "It would have been more effective to give people even Vitamin D."

No. Vitamin D supplementation shows no protective effect against covid or severe outcomes in randomized trials. (e.g. bmj.com/content/378/bm…).
3/ The belief that vit D supplementation protects against covid stems from the substantial correlation between low vitamin D levels and covid mortality. But that's because of
a) socioeconomic confounding,
b) reverse causation: low vit D is a *result* of poor health.
