Dr. Eric Weinstein is a Harvard-trained mathematician and a titan of the so-called intellectual dark web.

They're the big iconoclastic thinkers who span political divides to challenge mainstream narratives,

stoking controversy and debate along the way.

Dr. Weiststein tackles everything from Putin and Ukraine to globalization and Jeffrey Epstein.

He's become a superstar guest on the world's biggest podcast and streaming shows.

There are people that you need in your dark hours.

As soon as they emerge, we tar them with shit.

And now he goes unsensitive.

I'm always surprised when people with your kind of intellect

I mean, do you think anyone like Putin who has 6,000 nuclear weapons at his disposal would want to start a war that would obliterate everything?

Hand somebody a pair of nunchucks, they're most likely to knock themselves out rather than to become

Bruce Lee. We sit here with a ticking time bomb. We don't know how long we have. The foremost

overrated things in life were lobster, champagne, anal sex, and picnics. I don't really know much

about champagne. Perhaps the next question. Are there any limits to free speech?

It has morphed more into a question of what can I get away with that might not be true?

I've got ten things. Rapid fire.

No, no, no. Yeah, I decline.
