I really like Eric Weinstein and enjoyed this episode. He seems really principled, even publicly pushing back against his brother, who I used to love, but I think has gone a bit far off of the deep end recently (speaking of audience capture).

I can't help but wonder if he is delusional about his ideas in physics- how can he be the only person seemingly interested in the ideas he's exploring? Politicization of physics academia funding? I'm not nearly smart enough to be able to judge but it just seems strange that so many geniuses would not be chasing after the truth in a pure science field like physics.
