He speaks of those in so called _Intelligence_ , he gave a Clue, JE was created by one or perhaps two government Intelligence - there's only TWO aka CIA [American govt Intelligence] AND MOSSAD [JE took claimant to being jew afterall]
I think epstein was just an evil person who had no conscience or moral compass and was able to bring rich people together by using unsuspecting scientists to draw in rich people to provide them with young females to sexually abuse and then blackmail them. I believe the scientists were there to get money for their research and got tainted. I believe robert maxwell spent the stolen fortune. epstein made his through blackmail.
Even Eric doesn't mention Isrэеl. We know Jeffrey was a judən. He was visiting his homeland quite often. You know what else? His empire, which was passed down from Maxwells, was built by, MOSSAD, which is a fact. It's out there on his bio, wikipedia, everywhere. "Possibly our government, possibly a joint operation or other..."
@@KakosXronos THANK YOU, Eleana, for gently alerting people to this series by one of the most uncompromising, un-compromised, and clear-headed long-form journalists of our day. Take note, new readers of Whitney Webb's stellar reporting: you are in for a reckoning. Read everything she's written. [The following comments are my opinions and not Whitney Webb's, though I believe them to be supported in fact and in spirit by her work.] Please demand that the subjects she covers become part of our central civic dialog. Recognize that the media syndicates and tech oligopolies that produce 'journalism' to manufacture your consent are total frauds for their inability to even recognize her work, let alone acknowledge the subjects she discusses, and their lucid relations. She's on the verge, like so many independent journalists and researchers, of being threatened with de-platforming and active suppression as we speak, under the facile (woke?) justification that only Silicon Valley or Washington has the wisdom and capacity to determine truth from lies, and so only serve their own interests in shaping the image of reality. The horrible ironic tragedy of Eric Weinstein being the only public intellectual with the empathy, honesty, and temerity to talk openly about this - and he should be highly praised for do it - is that it was HIS boss's conspiracy of suppression that has, at least, partially set the stage for this state of affairs. Thiel's petty and thin-skinned retaliation for being outed, which crushed the leading indie muckraking rag of its day, Gawker Media, is a huge contributing factor to shaping the gaslit echo chamber we inhabit. And we are now at the moment when humanity and civil liberties really need vibrant institutions like Gawker to challenge the creeping authoritarianism, but they don't exist or they have been captured and brought to heel. Take note of what happened between Greenwald and the Intercept last week, and don't get swept up in the partisan circus surrounding it, or you'll miss the point that really matters to you and your free thought. On the most basic level, we either choose whistleblowers and their fresh air, regardless of what it says about our heroes, or we chose corruption and its tyranny. The creeping regime of total censorship and absolute thought control that confronts us can only be reckoned with if we collectively steel ourselves and remove the blinders we've up to now consented to wear. The intelligence agencies don't work for us - they never have. They and their sponsors have been at war with us and our representative systems of government since their inception. Whatever forces that they represent have been running the US government for decades, at least since JFK's assassination. With the martyrdom of Michael Hastings as the inflection point, and the degradation of Smith-Mundt Act that he exposed and echoed, the total domination of domestic society became their overt target. Read further into Webb's work on the CoronaVirus, among many other things, and you will begin to see that Jeffrey Epstein was hardly a bug; he was a prominent feature at the nexus of intelligence, entrenched organized crime, and oligarchic avarice under the guise of 'philanthropy'. Epstein can't be written off as a mere protege of Robert Maxwell. It was Maxwell's trojan horse software that infected and infiltrated our nation's most classified labs and institutions. It was his government that has imposed a total taboo on any criticism or circumspection about it. As we enter the "Second Wave" Lockdowns and the sweeping reforms that will surely follow, without a robust and defensible 1st and 4th amendment (for individuals) that can realistically be upheld in the digital realm, and total transparency (for governments, banks, corporate syndicates and oligarchs) in the years to come, the only vision of A.I. that will manifest - whichever nation helms it - it will be an unrelenting dystopian future. We write off Epstein - as an outlier, a mere pervert, or an isolated expression of Evil - at our free society's existential peril. (If that sounds like a metaphor to you, take a look around you - there's a global pandemic bringing whole economies to their knees, all on the pretense of throw-away mortality rates, and no reliable information feedback loops to reconcile simple claims and their proportions.) Pedophilia and the cycle of violence it engenders are surely evil, there is no doubt. This is way beyond that. This is pedophilia weaponized by the most sociopathic and powerful among us, with the complicity and protection of governments, for political and technological blackmail of the most high-achieving, capable, and intelligent among us, so as to ensure the total control of society on a global scale. That is not hyperbole. It is the simple truth. It does not end with a "suicide" and a jailed madam, and the next shiny spectacle in the news cycle. Thanks Eric and Lex for continuing this conversation. Great insights Eric. Intrepid truth-telling. Both of you please consider promoting Webb's work publicly and encouraging others to look seriously at our unfolding world. We can survive these challenges by accepting that they exist.
@@727MeowMeow thanks for bringing this up Poppy! I know Ryan Dawson but prefer to first share Whitney's website with people because it is a more gentle lifting of the veil and introduction to the subject...the descent into the rabbit hole should be a gradual process, otherwise people are quick to judge and label certain narratives (as programmed) thus leading them to discredit them and never bothering to dig more...speaking from personal experience here! Most importantly we need to remind ourselves to be careful and never generalize, ie. blaming a whole group of people (eg. It's "the Jews") etc. Not only this is dangerous and truly antisemitic but it also helps the actual criminals further advance the agenda of labeling any legitimate criticism of the state of Israel as antisemitism... Peace and love everyone! We need to stay united to win this battle!
@Bill be careful with these generalizations you make... Don't fall into their trap of divide and conquer. This is not about all Jewish people; the everyday Jewish family is a normal family just like yours, trying to get by the struggles of life. I have many Jewish friends whom I love and respect and they have nothing to do with the epsteins of the world, nor do they condone the apartheid state. Just like you are not your government, their ideologies are also not represented by theirs!
@Bill there are a number of generalities being combined here, about race and religion, and in particular about people Judaism is not and technically cannot be strictly identical with Zionism. That is, Zionism in all its forms including using sources external to the Bible (Tanakh) to justify 'religious' ideas that specifically teach the opposite of any comprehensive reading of what the Jewish (i.e. Old Testament) Bible explains on these matters is not inalienably 'Jewish'. You are talking about what is known by its own adherents as Zionism, this is a very different category from all things generally identified as Jewish (and which to note also consists of necessary categories, i.e. Jewish in a religious sense or an ethical sense) Judaism specifically teaches Israelites to recognise and understand,and thus to love the stranger as they would understand and love themselves (the concept of love is to understand and thus care for one another even as we are all in some sense confounded in the human condition at this time) But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. (Leviticus 19:34)
Lex altogether winds me up with how naive he is despite his intelligence. Calling it optimism is kind but basically a lie because real optimism requires a strong grasp of reality and he simply does not have it. I would love to be as sharp as he is but not at the cost of understanding how the real world works. He’s in good company though, the scales will hopefully fall away soon
not naive or juvenial but all text book smart and little street smart.. and yes the opposite of rogan and definitely not an alpha like he once said.. not that theres anything wrong with that lol
I only started watching Eric Weinstein recently . I should admit he is a brilliant mind and does not hesitate to call spade a spade .I wish we had more of these people with the intellect and honesty .Kudos to him!
Same here! I love his take on Epstein. I actually read where Epstein was trying to populate the world with a superior human race using his, well, “DNA”.
God my brain was so confused I thought this was epsiteins brother. He looks so like him with the too close together eyes and all. Same with weinstein he could be either of their brothers. 😂
Yes, and that makes them indifferent men, not good. I know the saying you are referring to and it needs to be edited. You aren't good if you do nothing. You are just there. Just because you aren't bad doesn't mean you are good. Being good takes effort and action.
@Reluctant Human - Anytime someone starts off an argument with an insult, you could almost be certain that their argument is trash.. Thanks for helping to prove this rule.
People who harm innocent weak helpless kids should be strategically killed and made a firm example of. I cant fathom how these elites get aroused by abusing kids. Its beyond me....
Eric seems unusually on the edge and worried about consequences of things he may say about Jeffrey Epstein. He is a brilliant mind and I hope he stays safe.
@J A C this is true in my case. My father is Russian and worked internationally in Asia and Russia during the 90s and early 2000s. He is still incredibly stoic hammered on cognac. I take after him, minus the drinks. He always had stories when he returned home and a lot of talk was always centered around how Russia is always listening in hotel rooms etc...So we tend to keep to ourselves
Seems pretty obvious considering how he made a point to emphasize that he knows nothing more than he's said publicly. Not exactly something you'd go out of your way to say in an interview/podcast unless you were concerned that the wrong kind of people might believe otherwise.
@@BillBoard.dude, it’s not some ground breaking or deep thought. It’s an obvious observation and a witty pun. Stop pulling your pants down for this guy
@@JohnnySack16 that jealousy of yours is intelligent. Clearly you have an INTELLIGENCE deficit because if you truly understood what it takes for someone very smart to efficiently communicate to both intellectuals and illiterates, you wouldn't have posted such a reply.

“If they’re black, then it’s a gang; if they’re Italian, it’s the mob; but if they’re Jewish, then it’s a coincidence, and you should never speak about it.” - Chapelle
Lex actually looked intimidated. Weinstein's manner of deconstructing the way someone analyzes an idea and reconstructing it so that your brain accepts it in the manner he wants it to is scary.
Funny right, lex is on a "attack the institute" not the person. Yet, Weinstein is actually going for people in order to save the institution, yet both rely on "MONO 🙈) THINKING, YOU HAVE TO BECOME JUDGE FOR BOTH AND SOMETIMES BLIND JUDGE like social media warriors
Well said. He's incredibly good at articulating very complex ideas, all while communicating in layman terms most of the time, his mastery of the trivium (logic, grammar and rhetoric) is unparalleled, and is probably a result of what I suspect is an upbringing by a lawyer, or it's just in his genes.
Not unlike the "Satan's best maneuver is convincing people he doesn't exist"... When in fact we are laced with his very nature (Adamic aka self nature).
@@MJ-kd7dp but that doesnt mean we cant be redeemed through christ and the glory of the most high heavenly father. Thats the whole reason we need christ because without him we are in the same boat as satan. Nice try🤷♂️
Eric's words about conspiracy are incredibly powerful and eloquent. I've returned to this portion of the interview over and over again. Lex took an idiotic position, in earnest, and to his great credit; and it perfectly facilitated Eric's rejoinder. The radioactivity around the word conspiracy is madness. Yes, the thought of a malevolent plot can be very, very scary, but it must be faced and it must be called out. Evil must be named.
His words are dumb. Silence between hundreds of unconnected scientists must be a conspiracy because 26 Mossad agents coordinated to assassinate someone. Evil, if it's just in your mind, must NOT be named. Conspiracies deserve attention IF someone is ready to drop it the moment its contradicted by evidence and if they make clear to everyone that it's just conjecture.
That's the absolute truth My friend People could not handle Real story Jeffrey Epstein Was an absolute monster Hiding in plain sight Just look at the people Who hung around him And knew him the best
Well, he was condescending. But you can tell that, because he seems fond of Lex, although he rebukes Lex over his youthful naivete with regard to the idea of "conspiracies", he is more gentle with his rebuke than might otherwise have been.
@@steinfranken1108he acted the same way when he interviewed his brother about his problems in academia and his brother kept beating around the bush, he doesn't tolerate people who don't man up to admit blatant problems, nor should you.
@@alexeilindes7507 mate, here’s David Rockefeller thanking the media for keeping us in the dark for nearly the last 40 years as they work towards their world government. This was in 1991, 40 years before then was the ‘50s when Operation Mockingbird began. That same media he thanked, the one quiet about Epstein, is now concerned about our well being and wants to give us a jab for our protection. m.ua-cam.com/video/GhZWC-jv9_U/v-deo.html
In your view god created the devil and knew exactly what he was going to be and do. So the devil is just doing his job. God knows all correct, you think he was surprised?
Evil is not too strong a word to use which is behind and beyond horrific acts against children and adults. Crimes against humanity and how it permeates among the worlds elite...and blackmail.
“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.” - J. Edgar Hoover
I like Lex, but he isn't as smart as he tries to act. Maybe he is autistic? I mean they're talking about Epstein and he doesn't even know who Robert Maxwell is? And he doesn't see any "conspiracy" surrounding all the events of Epstein/CIA/FBI? I mean come on!
@@BannedPhotoshop i don't know what you do for a living but i am a scientist like lex and i can tell you when u do research all fucking week you're not to eager to also do it on all the other topics.... that beeing said he should have done his homework if he want's to speak on his potcast about it.
100% agreement with a Eric about conspiracy theories, glad he explained it so well. Also Lex, you’re my hero for hitting hard on trying to figure out why the silence surrounding Epstein within the MIT community.
I met Jeffrey Epstein in NYC along with Jean when I was a fashion student. It was a short but very strange exchange just outside the NY stock exchange. I had a polaroid camera on me as we were going to tour the fashion district that day. Jeffrey stopped me on the street and said I must be a "model" I had NO idea who this older man was as I was just 18 and this was 1991. I indeed did do print model work from middle school through H.S. along with fashion shows and looked VERY young for my age. Younger than 18 for certain and I'm over 50 now. This is a current profile pic from this year. I age slow. My whole family does as we are all RH negatives. Just a side effect I guess? Good genetics plus I've been in skin care my entire life as a master aesthetican with a derm background. Well fast forward to when everything began to come out and he was a focal point. A lightbulb went off and I ran to my storage in the basement and found that very photo. You see I think he realized after scoping me out that I was not the ideal candidate. I came from a good upper middle class family and was just visiting from Tulsa with our fashion team of students. He asked my friend Kelly (African American) guessing he doesn't go for that? but asked if she'd take our photo of me between he and Jean. I posed for the photo and he then wished me all the success in my future, hailed a cab and handed me back the photo after he looked at it. I saved it simply as it was a bizarre thing! I had no idea what a dangerous man I was posing with his arm around me. SO ODD.
Thank you for spending over 60% of your story about Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990's explaining how good you look. Really appreciate your 2-cents on the situation
@@MrParkinthedarklol perfect. People are vain and she probably acted like this with Epstein and he thought “god she’s exhausting, isn’t worth the trouble”
...except when they are non-scientist poor people. Where does humility fit into the Zionist logic on poverty? The double standards are everywhere. We, of MIT, may or may not have done some pedo stuff, but...ah...not having enough money...might justify that WE might or might not have done some gross stuff. The real silence, MIT trusted a billionaire mega pedo, and whatever they say will come off...as if you trusted a billionaire mega pedo. Lex, lost in the fog of reality, "bad people are real?...like they Conspire and stuff? No way." LMAO
Complete misunderstanding of morals. For some morals are worth dying for. Atheists tend to ignore and omit these people from observation and deny the possibility of their existence. Yet religious experiences are well documented and for those who have had these experiences they know God exists and thusly morality becomes an existential imperative. Weather this is just a function of neurons is up for debate but the effect is not. Some people will die for morals Socrates is one simple example another Gandhi who went on hunger strike to the point it permanently damaged his health. Not everyone’s morals are humanist and relativistic some people’s are absolute. So affording morals is absurd, so is the notion that humans will do anything to preserve their lives; if this was the case you wouldn’t have suicides or Christian scientists dying of curable diseases. In other words some people don’t value their lives enough to keep them and some people value their faith above their lives.
But of course we have to understand Robert Maxwell. Thank you for bringing it up, Eric! "To not believe in conspiracies is idiocy." Well said, Old Mole.
Mr Wieinstein is always the smartest guy in the room. But what makes him even more outstanding is that he always seems genuinly honest and of good moral charactor. Brovo Mr. Wienstein.
He hints at his own personal moral failings in this clip though. He says he's done something that could ruin him to keep at bay something else he's done that would have ruined him even harder. Now I'm curious lol
i wouldnt call it redpill i would say its 50% stupidity, and 50% fear of loosing credibility for being seen as a consiracy theorist, funny how he talked about being heroic yet 100% does the opposite.
@@talking_with_experts_podcast exacty! he 'claimed' he wanted to be a 'hero' yet cant even face the IDEA of the challenge, not the challenge itself its like ice being afraid and denying the existence of the concept "melting upon contact with heat" , what happens to ice when he finally meets heat then? Lex hasnt even failed step 1, the devoted 'hero' Lex, is failing qualifications! its hilarious.
If you have to compare between the two evils then he is right. There is a difference betweeen exploiting a 10 year old V. a 17 year old. one is a child, the other pretty much borderline adult. I’m not saying any of the two are good - and I don’t think he would be saying that as well - but there are levels to evil…
I lost a lot of confidence in Lex for stating that he doesn’t believe in conspiracies. And it’s not simply because he doesn’t believe in them but because as Eric said it’s more to do with timidity and marching to the beat of the drumb why smart people at least don’t believe in them and as far as I was concerned Lex isn’t supposed to be either of those by the way he portrays himself
Maybe one of my favorite quotes (Have said so in, at least in so many words myself numerous times) of all time "To not believe in conspiracies is an idiocy." --Eric Weinstein.
There's a marked difference in Eric's tone, between the last discussion he had about a year ago to now. He sounds cautious and under pressure. This is how far and wide this whole Epstein thing goes. Everybody's involved.
@@DorothyMNeddermeyerPhD I wouldn't be surprised. I think that Maxwell is in jail for her own security. And no way she's living any tough life in there, with yoga and jogging sessions in full swing.
This conversation is great. Lex and Eric, you both are vastly intelligent, and conduct yourselves with class, too. I pray we continue to see this kind of intelligent conversation in times to come. Thank you for that, and for your dedication to the truth. Lex, conspiracy theories are so real. Keep an open mind. That is so important. God bless you both.
A really informative interview. It explores an issue of corruption of Universities throughout the West in relation of the loss of integrity that is increasing visible in Irish and other universities.
Didn't that meme start with that vet who was on a talk show discussing the rehabilitation of army dogs or something and said that phrase randomly afterwards?
Yea sadly a few min later he says, "sorry, who's Robert Maxwell?".....u don't know wtf RM is at this stage and level of YT viewership etc???? WOW. Unsubscribed. Dude has phds etc???? Seems fucking clueless overeducated tool
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” John Stuart Mills I know that this quote is often a scribed to Edmund Burke However he never said or wrote these words. At best, the essence of the quote can be traced back to the utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill, who delivered an 1867 inaugural address at the University of St. Andrews. Basically what he is saying that Epstein was created as a manchurian candidate to get dirt on very powerful people. Why does anybody just assume that Epstein was able to commit suicide in jail. When in order for him to do so it shows that the jail staff let him do this while he was on active suicide watch.
I don’t think the (badly labeled) “woke” attitude is obfuscating what Epstein did. If anything, it is the only thing that has shot a light on this disgraceful situation. If not for the modern attitude of not accepting or hiding the abuse of women and children enabled the victims of Epstein to speak out and finally be heard by authorities. It was, and is, the authorities’ and media reluctance to fully tackle the situation. Why are they reluctant? That is the big question and the answers are highly likely to uncover lots of very ugly truths.
Lex i am a black dude from the hood, who taught him python in 30 days. I learned visual c++ at 13. But i was a product of my environment. 😞 anywho I’m not that dumb lol, and to listen too Eric & Yourself talk, is so awesome.
Anyone who wants to understand how evil works at scale can read the dialogue between Socrates and Thrasymachus in Plato's Republic. Mad props to Eric for bringing the heat.
Excellent interview with 2 extremely knowledgeable and intelligent men. One thing I really appreciate is that as Weinstein is answering Lex’s questions he is also helping Lex to understand why evil people exist and guide him with encouragement as Lex is obviously shaken by evil people like Epstein
Lex is such a empathetic and innocent good guy. It’s almost like seeing a sad child after being told that Santa Claus doesn’t exist when someone try to prove to him that some of these conspiracies could- and probably is to be true. Most of the world is kind hearted and good. But there’s definitely some evil shit out there. Real life is stranger than fiction sometimes.
Of course he knows there is evil out there. He's being a scientist in wanting to see evidence before characterising it. Glad there are still sceptics out there.
I think that was exactly the aim of CIA when they coined the term "conspiracy theory" shortly after Kennedy's assassination. It is used to discredit anybody who dares to investigate or ask questions ....
The trouble is, Jeff, that nobody is making much fuss about 16/17-year olds having sex for fun. - What really upsets people is the exploitation of very naive younger kids, and the monetary and (largely fake) promissory inducements offered to the less-than-enthusiastic older teens for their sexual cooperation.
Who is this interviewer and who gave him that microphone? HE DOESN'T THINK THIS WAS A CONSPIRACY???? A CONSPIRACY THAT BIG WOULD BE SURPRISING??? I'm done. If it wasn't for Eric I'd have clicked off.
Agreed. Lex is a smart man but i completely disagree with his thoughts on conspiracy. A lot of people are similar in the sense that they dont believe things like this could be a conspiracy even though many facts point to it being otherwise. I think the majority still dont believe the government were involved in the assassination of JFK hahaha.
Hmm sounds like something an English teacher would say! 📝 Are you Iranian? I'm guessing because I'm fan of the chess prodigy Firouzha from Iran. I also teach English in EU while not being born in continental or contiguous US.

My best guess is, it is similar to "it is so dreadful it will make your hair curl." While "hair curling" and "curling toes" can be simultaneously seen as good and bad.. This is purely a good explanation as to how they confuse our languages, so even speaking the same langauge and words, we derive a personal experienced definition.. Another conspiracy. I believe he wouldn't of said what he did if he was in on it.. Besides many scientists are used for their knowledge by powerful people who want to abuse it.. So while they may be around eachother.. They most definitely do not always converge on such things or share the same beliefs. The scientists are self driven and want to achieve their goals, while the rich will fund the studies in hope they will somehow be able to abuse and control the narrative of whatever is discovered.. Uh oh more conspiracy.. But come on people.. This man is genuine.
Great interview Lex!! Much respect for sharing this. Really appreciate Dr. Weintein's honest thoughts. I know he cant say much more. But we get the message.
The fact that Lex seems so sincere warms my heart. It reminds me to be careful not to generalize powerful men into 1 category. The silence is stunning. We should be yelling when evil is popping its head out. And it's popping EVERYWHERE.
Yes, I listened to it the other day. Very interesting, especially his first encounter with him in his dining room with the American flag draped over the table etc...
one of the problems with the Endless Frontier doctrine, is that we've hit on most of the low hanging fruit; so research today is getting more expensive and administrative to achieve increasingly smaller gains in insights.
By low hanging fruit, do you mean scientific developments that investors care about because it makes them more money? Research only goes as far as the currency that funds it. If investors had the sense to see the potential value that under-researched topics have (such as neural networks) we’d have a much broader variety of developments. But no, we gotta make those smart phones lighter!
@@IanBpa The glorious days of science research are gone . Sorry. There is no more greats, or significants breakthroughts in the horizont. There is only minor stuffs been made just for keeping the bureaucratic machinery sizzling; just for keeping some people happy because they become “Phd’s”...
@@FrancoJ-c7p People used to say this, that there's no more new discoveries to make, at the end of the 19th century before we discovered the quantum realm... I do agree though a lot of the funds is going to useless shit, we need more research in abstract physics and math
I dunno man. I think Weinstein's level of certainty on many topics is a red flag for me. Notice how aggressively defiant he got when Fridman even suggested that long-term, sustained/sustainable conspiracies are hard to imagine in today's world. I happen to agree with Fridman. But with Weinstein there's an absolute *certainty* that what he's saying is correct. And that's a very dangerous attitude, no matter how smart you, or others, think you are. I also think his buying into the concept of "woke", which is a right wing construct, is red flag #2. I've followed him a while, watched a lot of interviews, read some of his work. I'm trying to be impressed, but, I don't know. He has some interesting ideas, but there's a smug certainty to him that throws me off.
10:55 The questions are. Why are we dissuaded from investigating? And who has to make sure people are dissuaded from investigating? Who has the power to do this by using a media campaign to stop honest investigations into crimes against humanity?
Why don't people know the difference between an actual conspiracy and the" conspiracy theory" label? It's a legal term. Criminals conspire every day! Ever hear of someone being charged with a conspiracy to commit murder, fraud, etc.? Donald Trump is currently charged with conspiracy to conspiracy to defraud the United States. 1. A conspiracy is an agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act. 2. A group of conspirators. 3. An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action. A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that asserts the existence of a conspiracy by powerful and sinister groups, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable. The term generally has a negative connotation, implying that the appeal of a conspiracy theory is based in prejudice, emotional conviction, or insufficient evidence. A conspiracy theory is distinct from a conspiracy; it refers to a hypothesized conspiracy with specific characteristics, including but not limited to opposition to the mainstream consensus among those who are qualified to evaluate its accuracy, such as scientists or historians.
Eric I love u for this. Finally someone looks at it logically. So surprising how many people lie to themselves to make it not real in their reality when it is in the reality of the ones doing the terrible things
Evil is an act or thought that is 180 degrees opposite to good, meaning you put yourself first and it can come in any form, resentment, pride, anger, etc.
@@melita524e you guys should see HOW MANY people vehemently and dis-corporately mock the victims of michael jacksons sexual abuse victims over the fact that they gained money through the trials.

Always love listening to two brilliant individuals discuss topics such as this. Cudos to Lex for bringing it up, despite probably already knowing how this would go.
It is so refreshing to hear a truly intelligent conversation between two people! Thank you for sharing this! It is like a breath of fresh air! new subscriber because of it.
There's an important semantic distinction here that was not made while Weinstein was criticizing the "conspiracy theorist" label as a rhetorical checkmate; though I still agree with his observation. A conspiracy *theorist* is supposed to refer to someone that is occupied with a kind of deductive reasoning from the presupposition that there is likely or definitely a conspiracy, rather than allowing a sufficient amount of evidence to lead them to that conclusion-the former process involves a great deal of confirmation bias and apophenia. There is an infestation of such people, accelerated by social media, so it becomes *very* easy for those who are not this to use that move to shut discussion down. Unfortunately, there are vastly more people mistakenly claiming conspiracy than there are correctly claiming it, so the aversion to treating conspiracy seriously in our zeitgeist shouldn't surprise anyone.
This discussion is so invigorating . You two seem to understand each other well so each discussion doesn't need much background and that makes a ladder of understanding from one topic to the next. Please continue. I haven't been so challenged since I was studying Philosophy of Religion in 1965.
Lex, a book called At the Mind's Limits by Jean Amery is one you might like. Amery survived the Holocaust but couldn't reconcile the learned blindness that was a part of everyday life after WWII. It reminded me of what you were talking about at MIT.
I’m not in the world of science or finance, but somehow Eric Weinstein has become one of my favorite people to listen to, especially concerning the Epstein circus. I hate that the subject of Epstein seems to stress him out, but there just isn’t enough important voices asking the right questions about it all, so I’m thankful that he is. Oh yeah, Lex is cool too… :)
This guy is so frustrating. If he has something to say he should just say it. He’s throwing shade in all kinds of directions but never, never comes out and just makes his opinion known. No respect. Lex let him scamper all over the place…
"The number of dogs that don't bark (i.e., the lack of media reporting) is like nothing we've ever seen." Brilliant observation.
He speaks of those in so called _Intelligence_ , he gave a Clue, JE was created by one or perhaps two government Intelligence - there's only TWO aka CIA [American govt Intelligence] AND MOSSAD [JE took claimant to being jew afterall]
I think epstein was just an evil person who had no conscience or moral compass and was able to bring rich people together by using unsuspecting scientists to draw in rich people to provide them with young females to sexually abuse and then blackmail them. I believe the scientists were there to get money for their research and got tainted. I believe robert maxwell spent the stolen fortune. epstein made his through blackmail.
Even Eric doesn't mention Isrэеl. We know Jeffrey was a judən. He was visiting his homeland quite often. You know what else? His empire, which was passed down from Maxwells, was built by, MOSSAD, which is a fact. It's out there on his bio, wikipedia, everywhere.

@@KakosXronos THANK YOU, Eleana, for gently alerting people to this series by one of the most uncompromising, un-compromised, and clear-headed long-form journalists of our day. Take note, new readers of Whitney Webb's stellar reporting: you are in for a reckoning. Read everything she's written. [The following comments are my opinions and not Whitney Webb's, though I believe them to be supported in fact and in spirit by her work.] Please demand that the subjects she covers become part of our central civic dialog. Recognize that the media syndicates and tech oligopolies that produce 'journalism' to manufacture your consent are total frauds for their inability to even recognize her work, let alone acknowledge the subjects she discusses, and their lucid relations. She's on the verge, like so many independent journalists and researchers, of being threatened with de-platforming and active suppression as we speak, under the facile (woke?) justification that only Silicon Valley or Washington has the wisdom and capacity to determine truth from lies, and so only serve their own interests in shaping the image of reality.
The horrible ironic tragedy of Eric Weinstein being the only public intellectual with the empathy, honesty, and temerity to talk openly about this - and he should be highly praised for do it - is that it was HIS boss's conspiracy of suppression that has, at least, partially set the stage for this state of affairs. Thiel's petty and thin-skinned retaliation for being outed, which crushed the leading indie muckraking rag of its day, Gawker Media, is a huge contributing factor to shaping the gaslit echo chamber we inhabit. And we are now at the moment when humanity and civil liberties really need vibrant institutions like Gawker to challenge the creeping authoritarianism, but they don't exist or they have been captured and brought to heel. Take note of what happened between Greenwald and the Intercept last week, and don't get swept up in the partisan circus surrounding it, or you'll miss the point that really matters to you and your free thought. On the most basic level, we either choose whistleblowers and their fresh air, regardless of what it says about our heroes, or we chose corruption and its tyranny.
The creeping regime of total censorship and absolute thought control that confronts us can only be reckoned with if we collectively steel ourselves and remove the blinders we've up to now consented to wear. The intelligence agencies don't work for us - they never have. They and their sponsors have been at war with us and our representative systems of government since their inception. Whatever forces that they represent have been running the US government for decades, at least since JFK's assassination. With the martyrdom of Michael Hastings as the inflection point, and the degradation of Smith-Mundt Act that he exposed and echoed, the total domination of domestic society became their overt target.
Read further into Webb's work on the CoronaVirus, among many other things, and you will begin to see that Jeffrey Epstein was hardly a bug; he was a prominent feature at the nexus of intelligence, entrenched organized crime, and oligarchic avarice under the guise of 'philanthropy'. Epstein can't be written off as a mere protege of Robert Maxwell. It was Maxwell's trojan horse software that infected and infiltrated our nation's most classified labs and institutions. It was his government that has imposed a total taboo on any criticism or circumspection about it.
As we enter the "Second Wave" Lockdowns and the sweeping reforms that will surely follow, without a robust and defensible 1st and 4th amendment (for individuals) that can realistically be upheld in the digital realm, and total transparency (for governments, banks, corporate syndicates and oligarchs) in the years to come, the only vision of A.I. that will manifest - whichever nation helms it - it will be an unrelenting dystopian future. We write off Epstein - as an outlier, a mere pervert, or an isolated expression of Evil - at our free society's existential peril. (If that sounds like a metaphor to you, take a look around you - there's a global pandemic bringing whole economies to their knees, all on the pretense of throw-away mortality rates, and no reliable information feedback loops to reconcile simple claims and their proportions.)
Pedophilia and the cycle of violence it engenders are surely evil, there is no doubt. This is way beyond that. This is pedophilia weaponized by the most sociopathic and powerful among us, with the complicity and protection of governments, for political and technological blackmail of the most high-achieving, capable, and intelligent among us, so as to ensure the total control of society on a global scale. That is not hyperbole. It is the simple truth. It does not end with a "suicide" and a jailed madam, and the next shiny spectacle in the news cycle.
Thanks Eric and Lex for continuing this conversation. Great insights Eric. Intrepid truth-telling. Both of you please consider promoting Webb's work publicly and encouraging others to look seriously at our unfolding world. We can survive these challenges by accepting that they exist.
@@727MeowMeow thanks for bringing this up Poppy! I know Ryan Dawson but prefer to first share Whitney's website with people because it is a more gentle lifting of the veil and introduction to the subject...the descent into the rabbit hole should be a gradual process, otherwise people are quick to judge and label certain narratives (as programmed) thus leading them to discredit them and never bothering to dig more...speaking from personal experience here! Most importantly we need to remind ourselves to be careful and never generalize, ie. blaming a whole group of people (eg. It's "the Jews") etc. Not only this is dangerous and truly antisemitic but it also helps the actual criminals further advance the agenda of labeling any legitimate criticism of the state of Israel as antisemitism... Peace and love everyone! We need to stay united to win this battle!
@Bill be careful with these generalizations you make... Don't fall into their trap of divide and conquer. This is not about all Jewish people; the everyday Jewish family is a normal family just like yours, trying to get by the struggles of life. I have many Jewish friends whom I love and respect and they have nothing to do with the epsteins of the world, nor do they condone the apartheid state. Just like you are not your government, their ideologies are also not represented by theirs!
@Bill there are a number of generalities being combined here, about race and religion, and in particular about people
Judaism is not and technically cannot be strictly identical with Zionism. That is, Zionism in all its forms including using sources external to the Bible (Tanakh) to justify 'religious' ideas that specifically teach the opposite of any comprehensive reading of what the Jewish (i.e. Old Testament) Bible explains on these matters is not inalienably 'Jewish'. You are talking about what is known by its own adherents as Zionism, this is a very different category from all things generally identified as Jewish (and which to note also consists of necessary categories, i.e. Jewish in a religious sense or an ethical sense)
Judaism specifically teaches Israelites to recognise and understand,and thus to love the stranger as they would understand and love themselves (the concept of love is to understand and thus care for one another even as we are all in some sense confounded in the human condition at this time)
But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
(Leviticus 19:34)

Same here! I love his take on Epstein. I actually read where Epstein was trying to populate the world with a superior human race using his, well, “DNA”.
God my brain was so confused I thought this was epsiteins brother. He looks so like him with the too close together eyes and all. Same with weinstein he could be either of their brothers. 😂

Evil persists, and flourishes, when good men do nothing.
Yes, and that makes them indifferent men, not good. I know the saying you are referring to and it needs to be edited. You aren't good if you do nothing. You are just there. Just because you aren't bad doesn't mean you are good. Being good takes effort and action.

@Reluctant Human - Anytime someone starts off an argument with an insult, you could almost be certain that their argument is trash.. Thanks for helping to prove this rule.
A lot of idiots still think it's a conspiracy theory... to them, Epstein is somehow the exception, rather than the rule. Sure.....

Eric's words about conspiracy are incredibly powerful and eloquent. I've returned to this portion of the interview over and over again. Lex took an idiotic position, in earnest, and to his great credit; and it perfectly facilitated Eric's rejoinder. The radioactivity around the word conspiracy is madness. Yes, the thought of a malevolent plot can be very, very scary, but it must be faced and it must be called out. Evil must be named.

His words are dumb. Silence between hundreds of unconnected scientists must be a conspiracy because 26 Mossad agents coordinated to assassinate someone.

This should be titled "Why we don't talk about conspiracies & Jeffrey Epstein's influence on MIT/Science"
Also on American government
Lex was visibly allergic to the word conspiracies...
His first few sentences are uncomprehensible.
“The individual is handicapped by
coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.” - J. Edgar Hoover

I met Jeffrey Epstein in NYC along with Jean when I was a fashion student. It was a short but very strange exchange just outside the NY stock exchange. I had a polaroid camera on me as we were going to tour the fashion district that day. Jeffrey stopped me on the street and said I must be a "model" I had NO idea who this older man was as I was just 18 and this was 1991. I indeed did do print model work from middle school through H.S. along with fashion shows and looked VERY young for my age. Younger than 18 for certain and I'm over 50 now. This is a current profile pic from this year. I age slow. My whole family does as we are all RH negatives. Just a side effect I guess? Good genetics plus I've been in skin care my entire life as a master aesthetican with a derm background. Well fast forward to when everything began to come out and he was a focal point. A lightbulb went off and I ran to my storage in the basement and found that very photo. You see I think he realized after scoping me out that I was not the ideal candidate. I came from a good upper middle class family and was just visiting from Tulsa with our fashion team of students. He asked my friend Kelly (African American) guessing he doesn't go for that? but asked if she'd take our photo of me between he and Jean. I posed for the photo and he then wished me all the success in my future, hailed a cab and handed me back the photo after he looked at it. I saved it simply as it was a bizarre thing! I had no idea what a dangerous man I was posing with his arm around me. SO ODD.

Complete misunderstanding of morals. For some morals are worth dying for. Atheists tend to ignore and omit these people from observation and deny the possibility of their existence. Yet religious experiences are well documented and for those who have had these experiences they know God exists and thusly morality becomes an existential imperative. Weather this is just a function of neurons is up for debate but the effect is not. Some people will die for morals Socrates is one simple example another Gandhi who went on hunger strike to the point it permanently damaged his health. Not everyone’s morals are humanist and relativistic some people’s are absolute. So affording morals is absurd, so is the notion that humans will do anything to preserve their lives; if this was the case you wouldn’t have suicides or Christian scientists dying of curable diseases. In other words some people don’t value their lives enough to keep them and some people value their faith above their lives.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
John Stuart Mills
I know that this quote is often a scribed to Edmund Burke
However he never said or wrote these words.
At best, the essence of the quote can be traced back to the utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill, who delivered an 1867 inaugural address at the University of St. Andrews.
Basically what he is saying that Epstein was created as a manchurian candidate to get dirt on very powerful people.
Why does anybody just assume that Epstein was able to commit suicide in jail.
When in order for him to do so it shows that the jail staff let him do this while he was on active suicide watch.
I don’t think the (badly labeled) “woke” attitude is obfuscating what Epstein did. If anything, it is the only thing that has shot a light on this disgraceful situation. If not for the modern attitude of not accepting or hiding the abuse of women and children enabled the victims of Epstein to speak out and finally be heard by authorities.
It was, and is, the authorities’ and media reluctance to fully tackle the situation. Why are they reluctant? That is the big question and the answers are highly likely to uncover lots of very ugly truths.
Lex i am a black dude from the hood, who taught him python in 30 days. I learned visual c++ at 13. But i was a product of my environment. 😞 anywho I’m not that dumb lol, and to listen too Eric & Yourself talk, is so awesome.
God, I'm so delighted that a thinker like Eric Weinstein even exists in the year 2020. What an incorruptible voice of razor-sharp reason.
BS!
😢😂😢😂😢@@brenttesterman3171🎉😢😮😮😢😢
nah
Anyone who wants to understand how evil works at scale can read the dialogue between Socrates and Thrasymachus in Plato's Republic.
Mad props to Eric for bringing the heat.
2 years later, Whitney Webb's 2 vol book on all of this, especially Jeffrey Epstein: ONE NATION UNDER BLACKMAIL
Excellent interview with 2 extremely knowledgeable and intelligent men. One thing I really appreciate is that as Weinstein is answering Lex’s questions he is also helping Lex to understand why evil people exist and guide him with encouragement as Lex is obviously shaken by evil people like Epstein
Sadly, it/s probably why other's, who are shaken by the topic are left without the ability to comprehend such atrocities, let alone speak about them.😨
Lex is such a empathetic and innocent good guy. It’s almost like seeing a sad child after being told that Santa Claus doesn’t exist when someone try to prove to him that some of these conspiracies could- and probably is to be true.
Most of the world is kind hearted and good. But there’s definitely some evil shit out there. Real life is stranger than fiction sometimes.
Of course he knows there is evil out there. He's being a scientist in wanting to see evidence before characterising it. Glad there are still sceptics out there.
It’s crazy to me how humans will literally shut off their god given senses as soon as “conspiracy” gets attached to something.
I think that was exactly the aim of CIA when they coined the term "conspiracy theory" shortly after Kennedy's assassination. It is used to discredit anybody who dares to investigate or ask questions ....
It doesn't take anyone from MIT to figure this out. "Money is the root of all evil." MIT turned a blind eye because of contributions.
it’s not ‘money’. It’s ‘the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil’
Intelligence vs God
The trouble is, Jeff, that nobody is making much fuss about 16/17-year olds having sex for fun. - What really upsets people is the exploitation of very naive younger kids, and the monetary and (largely fake) promissory inducements offered to the less-than-enthusiastic older teens for their sexual cooperation.
Who is this interviewer and who gave him that microphone? HE DOESN'T THINK THIS WAS A CONSPIRACY???? A CONSPIRACY THAT BIG WOULD BE SURPRISING??? I'm done. If it wasn't for Eric I'd have clicked off.
Agreed. Lex is a smart man but i completely disagree with his thoughts on conspiracy. A lot of people are similar in the sense that they dont believe things like this could be a conspiracy even though many facts point to it being otherwise. I think the majority still dont believe the government were involved in the assassination of JFK hahaha.
Eric Weinstein NAILED it! Love him and how he breaks the subject up with clear concise detail.
The longer I stare at his hair, the weirder it gets.
Hahaha yeah
😂
Think hes going for the Albert Einstein look
Omg u put it into words
yeah, I need to reach in and tame that coif with some pomade
It’s be great if the host could make a difference between “conspiracy” and “conspiracy theories”.
Hmm sounds like something an English teacher would say! 📝
Are you Iranian? I'm guessing because I'm fan of the chess prodigy Firouzha from Iran. I also teach English in EU while not being born in continental or contiguous US.

@@Firuzeh I teach in high schools, and companies. I was born in Haiti, grew up and studied in New York, and live and work in Italy. From your videos, you remind me of an Italian teacher I used to know who was intelligent and quite strong willed.
*Eric was absolutely perplexed, dumbfounded, and disgusted, fuming.*
I have looked EVIL right in the eyes. His intentions are to destroy the souls of his victims.
“Curl your toes” ??
I hope you meant turn your stomach.
freudian slip?
Phrase is used 2 opposite ways, intense sexual pleasure, or intense bad feeling. Poor choice of phrase in this instance I guess.
it means cringe
Never been so pissed you curled your fingers and toes?
My best guess is, it is similar to "it is so dreadful it will make your hair curl." While "hair curling" and "curling toes" can be simultaneously seen as good and bad.. This is purely a good explanation as to how they confuse our languages, so even speaking the same langauge and words, we derive a personal experienced definition.. Another conspiracy. I believe he wouldn't of said what he did if he was in on it.. Besides many scientists are used for their knowledge by powerful people who want to abuse it.. So while they may be around eachother.. They most definitely do not always converge on such things or share the same beliefs. The scientists are self driven and want to achieve their goals, while the rich will fund the studies in hope they will somehow be able to abuse and control the narrative of whatever is discovered.. Uh oh more conspiracy.. But come on people.. This man is genuine.
Great interview Lex!! Much respect for sharing this. Really appreciate Dr. Weintein's honest thoughts. I know he cant say much more. But we get the message.
I like Eric but he needs to chill out on interrupting all the time
@poofendorf What's this evidence you speak of?
Eric was doing Lex a big favour with the interruptions. The world is not as nice as Lex would like it to be.
@1984 Orwell Thank you
@@chrisgadsby5700 yep
The fact that Lex seems so sincere warms my heart. It reminds me to be careful not to generalize powerful men into 1 category. The silence is stunning. We should be yelling when evil is popping its head out. And it's popping EVERYWHERE.

Yes, I listened to it the other day.
Very interesting, especially his first encounter with him in his dining room with the American flag draped over the table etc...
one of the problems with the Endless Frontier doctrine, is that we've hit on most of the low hanging fruit; so research today is getting more expensive and administrative to achieve increasingly smaller gains in insights.
By low hanging fruit, do you mean scientific developments that investors care about because it makes them more money? Research only goes as far as the currency that funds it. If investors had the sense to see the potential value that under-researched topics have (such as neural networks) we’d have a much broader variety of developments. But no, we gotta make those smart phones lighter!
@@IanBpa The glorious days of science research are gone . Sorry. There is no more greats, or significants breakthroughts in the horizont. There is only minor stuffs been made just for keeping the bureaucratic machinery sizzling; just for keeping some people happy because they become “Phd’s”...
@@FrancoJ-c7p People used to say this, that there's no more new discoveries to make, at the end of the 19th century before we discovered the quantum realm... I do agree though a lot of the funds is going to useless shit, we need more research in abstract physics and math
Well, yeah, seems so now. The coming paradigm shift is going to up-end all that.
I dunno man. I think Weinstein's level of certainty on many topics is a red flag for me. Notice how aggressively defiant he got when Fridman even suggested that long-term, sustained/sustainable conspiracies are hard to imagine in today's world. I happen to agree with Fridman. But with Weinstein there's an absolute *certainty* that what he's saying is correct. And that's a very dangerous attitude, no matter how smart you, or others, think you are. I also think his buying into the concept of "woke", which is a right wing construct, is red flag #2. I've followed him a while, watched a lot of interviews, read some of his work. I'm trying to be impressed, but, I don't know. He has some interesting ideas, but there's a smug certainty to him that throws me off.
10:55 The questions are. Why are we dissuaded from investigating? And who has to make sure people are dissuaded from investigating? Who has the power to do this by using a media campaign to stop honest investigations into crimes against humanity?
Everyone would have thought NIXIM case was a conspiracy until it wasn't.
Why don't people know the difference between an actual conspiracy and the" conspiracy theory" label? It's a legal term. Criminals conspire every day! Ever hear of someone being charged with a conspiracy to commit murder, fraud, etc.? Donald Trump is currently charged with conspiracy to conspiracy to defraud the United States.
1. A conspiracy is an agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
2. A group of conspirators.
3. An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.
A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that asserts the existence of a conspiracy by powerful and sinister groups, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable. The term generally has a negative connotation, implying that the appeal of a conspiracy theory is based in prejudice, emotional conviction, or insufficient evidence.
A conspiracy theory is distinct from a conspiracy; it refers to a hypothesized conspiracy with specific characteristics, including but not limited to opposition to the mainstream consensus among those who are qualified to evaluate its accuracy, such as scientists or historians.
Eric I love u for this. Finally someone looks at it logically. So surprising how many people lie to themselves to make it not real in their reality when it is in the reality of the ones doing the terrible things
Check out his portal podcast he spoke about this at length last year. Also check out Maria Farmer(victim) interview with Whitney Webb.
@@keithremedy will do
It’s so funny how clueless people act when wealthy or well educated people are accused of “evil”
Evil is an act or thought that is 180 degrees opposite to good, meaning you put yourself first and it can come in any form, resentment, pride, anger, etc.
This conversation is very very coded
People should look at the book
"None Dare Call it Conspiracy"
People have become conspirophobe
@@melita524e you guys should see HOW MANY people vehemently and dis-corporately mock the victims of michael jacksons sexual abuse victims over the fact that they gained money through the trials. It is incredibly sad how many people will just defend pedophilia because its being done by their favorite "star".
@@melita524e the replacement is woke culture
Always love listening to two brilliant individuals discuss topics such as this. Cudos to Lex for bringing it up, despite probably already knowing how this would go.
It is so refreshing to hear a truly intelligent conversation between two people! Thank you for sharing this! It is like a breath of fresh air! new subscriber because of it.
There's an important semantic distinction here that was not made while Weinstein was criticizing the "conspiracy theorist" label as a rhetorical checkmate; though I still agree with his observation.
A conspiracy *theorist* is supposed to refer to someone that is occupied with a kind of deductive reasoning from the presupposition that there is likely or definitely a conspiracy, rather than allowing a sufficient amount of evidence to lead them to that conclusion-the former process involves a great deal of confirmation bias and apophenia.
There is an infestation of such people, accelerated by social media, so it becomes *very* easy for those who are not this to use that move to shut discussion down.
Unfortunately, there are vastly more people mistakenly claiming conspiracy than there are correctly claiming it, so the aversion to treating conspiracy seriously in our zeitgeist shouldn't surprise anyone.

This discussion is so invigorating . You two seem to understand each other well so each discussion doesn't need much background and that makes a ladder of understanding from one topic to the next. Please continue. I haven't been so challenged since I was studying Philosophy of Religion in 1965.
Lex, a book called At the Mind's Limits by Jean Amery is one you might like. Amery survived the Holocaust but couldn't reconcile the learned blindness that was a part of everyday life after WWII. It reminded me of what you were talking about at MIT.
Eric is so brilliant! I could listen all day. Logic!
I’m not in the world of science or finance, but somehow Eric Weinstein has become one of my favorite people to listen to, especially concerning the Epstein circus. I hate that the subject of Epstein seems to stress him out, but there just isn’t enough important voices asking the right questions about it all, so I’m thankful that he is. Oh yeah, Lex is cool too… :)
Eric Weinstein is a very smart man, sounds like he’s an even greater educator.
This guy is so frustrating. If he has something to say he should just say it. He’s throwing shade in all kinds of directions but never, never comes out and just makes his opinion known. No respect. Lex let him scamper all over the place…
