Eric Weinstein - Why No One Can Agree On The Truth Anymore (4K)

Eric Weinstein is a mathematician, economist, managing director of Thiel Capital and a podcaster.

The last 3 years has been a time of massive confusion. No one can agree on what is real, or true, or who is good faith, or a grifter. No matter what you believe in, we can all agree that this epidemic of uncertainty can't continue.

Expect to learn what you learn from being around the most rich and powerful people in the world, what it was like to meet Jeffrey Epstein face to face, what Eric thinks about the recent surge in UFO disclosures, his thoughts on Sam Harris’ recent episode with me, whether the downfall of physics and academia is the nail in the coffin for humanity, the biggest issues with having easy access to porn, how women could take a bigger role in the crisis of masculinity and much more...

[Try_Gratitude.]

People used to sacrifice their lives for the benefit of their children. Now they sacrifice their children's lives for their own benefit. Eric is 100% correct.

[stephaniechambell]

I’m a high school dropout hair dresser listening to two brilliant humans. I don’t understand all, but enough. To me, this is the beauty of the internet, sitting in on a conversation I would never have been exposed to. Thank you both. I try to watch Eric and Brent when possible.

As a mom of 5 teenagers, the end part about men, I’d like to share, don’t underestimate how many parents ARE getting it right. JP is my hero and I send his clips to my kids (particularly my 3 boys 13-19). When Eric talked about parents not loving their kids and putting them first, that’s what makes the broken adults today. I think it’s our duty to call out parents (our friends/peers) when they are not doing right by their children, and I think you know what I mean.

One of the most critical and difficult moments I have ever experienced in my life was when I began to realize how much of what I thought I knew or believed to be the truth was total BS; and once you rip the blinders off, you can’t unsee what you’ve seen; you can’t forget what you’ve learned; you can’t go back to that “ignorance is bliss” state of mind.

And as much as I would rather know the truth, there are times when I still find myself feeling like I’m in the Matrix, and questioning my own ability to know what is real and what is BS.

At 58 years old, this is a very unsettling feeling.

[susanfurman]

I'm 64 years old. I was a single mom. Raised my children to be able to survive and stand on their own feet, especially in a crisis. We are in a spiritual battle with the forces of good and evil.

[beklerken]

Eric is the definition of Orwells statement, "When speaking the truth becomes a revolutionary act" is the times we are in right now.

[sharonglover]

Eric is right about the schools. I am 72. 40 years ago, we were being warned by universities and politicians that the students in the USA were being dumbed down. There were dire warnings being SHOUTED. And it was so true. I was very young when I heard this but never could have understood the degree to which they were right.

[backseatsamurai]

"People who love their children dont drill holes in the childrens life raft" Most powerful statement I have heard all year! Amazing.

[SteveInTheOC]

“Family is weak because the markets are strong” i could not agree more. It’s sad how everyone in our families just move away and have very little contact anymore. I felt this way in the 60’s when older brothers just left to chase stuff and money. 😞

[leojmullins]

My children are in their 40's and their grandchildren are entering their teens. They have travelled the world but now all live within 10 minutes of my wife and I and we are an integral part of their lives, babysitting, watching their sport, helping with school and home projects.. How can anyone think this is a bad thing?

[DarthZealoT]

I don’t take this lightly when saying that I believe this is one of, if not the best podcast episodes I have ever listened to. The range of topics, the nuanced discussion, everything in between. The questions, the answers the dialogue. A true masterclass in podcasting. Well done Chris. Your success is earned absolutely.

[courtneyd]

I’m one of those waitresses. I have been for 35 years. Raised 2 kids the right way. I sacrificed a lot for them being a single mom.They’re adults now and I’m proud of them. They’ve done well. I’ve found as I’ve grown older, my need for “stuff” is gone. I don’t have much and don’t feel like there’s anything I need as far as material things to be happy. I’m always amazed when I think about how little I need to live a decent life. Im 55 with no retirement. That’s the only thing that scares me. I can’t wrap my head around people who have millions or billions. How much is enough? If I had that kind of money I’d be a philanthropist.

[socratesagain]

This is the second video I've viewed of Mr. Williamson interviewing professor Weinstein. I now understand why I find them so enjoyable. Much in the vein of "My Dinner with Andre" they remind me of long, long ago (the Nixon-VietNam years) weekend BS sessions in prep school and undergrad where we'd sit around and "save the planet." Sometimes we'd do it in student bars over pitchers of beer, at others in the floor of someone's living room as we passed around a jug of wine and a joint or two or three and the desultory ideas would flow. They'd inevitably end when someone had to go back to his dorm to cram or half of us had passed out on the floor. But we reached a level of bonding that rivals a post-Saint Crispin speech or the Wild Bunch, yet no one died. In the service of this mutual mental probing, we became like brothers for that one evening and walked away better, thoughtful, deeper individuals for it. Man, miss those days. Thanks Mr. Williamson and professor Weinstein for bringing them back--if only for a few hours while _completely_ sober and straight!
That's one shared experience, a deep bond we desired would go on forever and knew it could not-- _our_ "truth."
Be well.

[rpgco.]

One of the best conversations I’ve ever listened to, and I am an old man. The ability of these men to listen for understanding, ask for clarification, admit there deficiencies, such an amazing example of how one should try to communicate, let alone the amazing material content. I’m a little bit blown away.
“ Please tell me more“, will be my new conversational breaker. F’ing brilliant.

[MS-ugiu]

I love the way the two of you interact with each other: "Tell me more about that" "I'm not sure I follow, explain what you mean" - and lots of pregnant pauses while you think in real time. So many lessons to use in everyday life. thank you!

[heide]

Thank you for your enlightened discussion. At 83 years of age I abide to the best of what culture has to offer. The rest of cantankerous humanity I avoid with a passion. As a woman I despise what Feminism has done to men. I bet there are more women like myself of like opinion.

[DownTheHoleConspiracy]

I was emotionally and physically abused growing up and I was always scared to communicate with people. I had no confidence and had no father in my life either. I had to raise myself and my 2 younger siblings while experiencing abuse in many forms and a mother who could not control her emotions to teach me anything correct! I’m 34 and just started living on my own at 29! I got into drinking and drugs from no structure and trauma. Drinking n using was the only way I could communicate with people. Thankfully I got sober at 28… I still struggle financially as we all are but my family are poor too. My mom is selfish (Gen X) and my grandparents are gone and they were that same way. I couldn’t even afford to get a lawyer to fight for my kids as their mother controls when or how I see them and get to spend time with them. My life has been a shit show but I still wake up, remember to be happy and try my best everyday! I won’t let my past dictate my future! I am in complete control of my destiny. I barely get by financially but I am happy! I don’t let the “worldly” things dictate my happiness. We are in some crazy times and I’m terrified to see politics in 30 yrs!!! The world today is a mess and one big party while the ship is sinking rapidly! All I can say is get right!! Know something big is going to come and embrace it all. We have no other choice. Much love.

[beerman]

Eric is who this long form podcast is made for. He lives and thinks large and is an inspiration to me to be the same. Thank you.

[bgreeny]

Eric is back from a 3 week vacation and is just over it. We're finally starting to hear from the the ones worth listening to that this madness actually needs to stop. 10/10 interview.

[MonsterDeplorable]

This must be the best podcast episode I’ve ever witnessed. So refreshing to FINALLY hear someone of repute, state and acknowledge the OBVIOUS madness, of the past few years. Very VERY good episode! Thank you
