Summary

Are We Already Living Through Societal Collapse? Eric Weinstein sounds the alarm on AI threats, corrupt science, drone warfare, nuclear war, and deep-state secrets like Epstein. A world-renowned thinker, he asks: Are Elon Musk and the laws of physics our only escape route? Eric Weinstein is a mathematician, former Managing Director of Thiel Capital, and one of today’s most provocative intellectuals. He is also the host of the popular podcast ‘The Portal’, where he tackles controversial topics - from the failures of academia to the rise of AI, the limits of physics, and the urgent breakthroughs we need. In this explosive interview, he explains: Why the post-World War II global order is collapsing, and what comes next. How AI and drone warfare are changing war forever. How modern life distracts us from existential threats. Why we must leave Earth if we want a future for humanity.
