Eric holds a Ph.D. in mathematical physics from Harvard, but did not pursue the traditional academic route at all. He is an author, mathematician, economist, and Managing Director of Thiel Capital. Eric practices physics outside the academic establishment, and in that regard he is most famous for his geometric unity proposal. He is the host of The Portal podcast and known as one of the voices of the intellectual dark web. Weinstein is a vocal critic of modern academic hierarchies and advocates for advances in scientific theory over an emphasis on experimental results. He is the host of The Portal Podcast which can be found at https://ericweinstein.org/. twitter.com/EricRWeinstein 00:04:30 Difference between atheism, agnosticism, and the belief in a “first cause”. Is “creation” necessary for God to exist 00:07:00 The Torah, according to Eric Weinstein. Religious scientists and perception-mediated evolution 00:09:29 Evolutionary biology,, intelligent design, and Brett Weinstein’s perception mediated selection and the examples of the Lampsilis Mussel and Darwin’s orchids. 00:22:00 Belief in god Vs atheism. Doubts about atheism? We are meant to believe! 00:27:40 What is the greatest challenge to humanity below the Von Karman Line (beginning of space): global warming, COVID, nuclear annihilation, or UFOs? 00:34:00 Dealing with extreme events. What can prevent nuclear annihilation? Should we restart atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons to remind humanity how terrible they are? Is this the “end”? Three monuments to the Holocaust to remind humanity of the worst-case scenario: Berlin Memorial (https://www.visitberlin.de/en/memorial-murdered-jews-europe ), Babyn Yar Memorial ( https://babynyar.org/ua) and the memorial to Sinti boxer Johann Trollman ( https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/johann-rukeli-trollmann/ ). 00:42:30 What about UFO and the balloon phenomenon? Could it be a psyop? Direct Vs indirect evidence. 00:45:50 Sources and methods and the issue of privilege in controlling information and the erosion of the public faith in science and public health. 00:50:20 Is faith in science being undermined to our doom? Especially in the realm of public health and the manipulation of people and policy.

0:00.0	Some n years ago I started speaking about the twin nuclei problem, which is that when we in 1953 entered the nucleus of the
0:18.8	eukaryotic cell and extracted the three-dimensional structure of DNA.
0:23.0	We became god-like within that nucleus.
0:26.0	And then less than six months earlier in 1952,
0:29.0	with the explosion, the test of IV Mike,

0:36.8	thermonuclear reactions mediated by the teller-ulam design and my feeling is we cannot afford to have these borders oscillate as they have always
0:48.1	oscillated. In fact they didn't oscillate if you look at a time lapse much after
0:52.2	World War II up until the fall of the Berlin Wall because of the
0:55.2	spectra of nuclear annihilation.
