- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- Eric Weinstein is a mathematician, economist, managing director of Thiel Capital and a podcaster.
The last 3 years has been a time of massive confusion. No one can agree on what is real, or true, or who is good faith, or a grifter. No matter what you believe in, we can all agree that this epidemic of uncertainty can't continue.
Expect to learn what you learn from being around the most rich and powerful people in the world, what it was like to meet Jeffrey Epstein face to face, what Eric thinks about the recent surge in UFO disclosures, his thoughts on Sam Harris’ recent episode with me, whether the downfall of physics and academia is the nail in the coffin for humanity, the biggest issues with having easy access to porn, how women could take a bigger role in the crisis of masculinity and much more...

Eric is a classic CIA/Mossad disinformation specialist who has some very murky dealings with some very murky people like his old buddy Peter Thiel another CIA asset.
Hey Chris, I've been a long-time fan of your podcast, and I think it would be incredibly insightful and important if you could consider inviting Sashi Tharoor to your channel. With the current state of affairs in India and the growing concerns about rising authoritarianism, there's a pressing need for informed discussions. Mr. Tharoor's expertise and eloquence could shed light on this issue, and discussing the lack of open dialogue around it could be a significant step towards addressing the problem. Please consider this request; it's crucial that we have these conversations. Thanks!
IMO: Part of the problem, which goes almost completely unaddressed, is our cavalier use words. Even the title of this video falls short of being precise in its verbiage.
The smartest people on the planet still very often don’t think before speaking, or titling in this case.
Hyperbole and sarcasm have become the norm even in “civilized” discourse. These are, however, dishonest forms expression. And they are seductively pernicious.
“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” - Dumbledore
Chris you trust statistics and polls WAY TOO MUCH - it's very british of you
Hi, I am Shon Mardani, this is my Unifying Theory Of Everything. I will gradually fill in between the lines in the future, Please let me know if you see any conflict with Observed Facts, Thank you.
[GOD] Created NOTHING, a Void Point in Space. NOTHING Attracts [neighboring] Space as the Only Law of The Nature which gave NOTHING its Property to be the GRAVITATIONAL PARTICLE (GP). Fast Moving Space into GP, Creates its own GP at the [Vacated] Space which Attracts the Surrounding Space. There are 3 Pairs of 2 Directional Possible Movement Axis, this Creates Magic Numbers of the Nature, Numbers 2, 3 and their Sum 5.
Propagation of the GPs in a Closed Cyclic Patterns / Locked Loops of GPs Create Collection of Virtual Positions in Space known as Atom, Starting with Hydrogen to EVERYTHING else. Atoms are Connected by Overlapping/Common/Shared (single, double bonds ...) GPs to Create Molecules.
Hydrogen Atoms Virtually/Positionally Collect to Form Nitrogen and Oxygen Atoms and Form the Atmosphere, in a 4 Nitrogen to 1 Oxygen ratio which I call one ATMOSPHERIC UNIT (AU).Movement of GP toward the Center of the Gravity Transforms 2 AUs (2(N4O1)) into 6 Carbon with H2O as Hydrogen Transformer and CO2 as State Transformer, the Collection of this Cyclic Process is called LIFE. LIFE Synthesizes the Heavier Organic Elements to Create Species of Independent Life Cycles. Overlapping Fundamental Atoms Create Heavier Atoms/Elements which are collected in the Periodic Table. The [Virtual] Movement/Propagation of GPs in a Circular Patterns within the Connected Atoms has Frequency and Direction which Constitute and are Observed as its Weight/Mass/Gravity, Force, Polarity, Magnetism, Electricity, Heat, Light, Color and ALL other Physical Properties and they Move and Interact by Connectivity.
People used to sacrifice their lives for the benefit of their children. Now they sacrifice their children's lives for their own benefit. Eric is 100% correct.
I disagree. I think the state. with things like SS, was a major factor. Then we have Liberalism and Feminism attacking the family unit. Those two ideologies are selfish.
He nailed it when he talked about the fact that corporations have pushed consumerism and individualism to such extremes that people don’t care about institutions and don’t trust them, so they have no reason to invest in society at any level, thus you get things like deteriorating social cohesion.
No one cares about anyone else really. So people don’t see a reason to contribute to society by having children for example. We have things like woke idealogies being pushed because they fan the flames of unrest. Divide and conquer is the oldest play in the playbook and it’s being played out at a level that’s unprecedented.
No one wants to know the truth and then people buy this bullshit that “everyone’s truth is true.” No, truth exists and it’s not debatable. Something either is or isn’t true. That’s called consensus reality. We’ve lost all sense of this so we have no consensus reality anymore.
Therefore people can’t even agree on what the problems are anymore and that is a BIG problem. We used to debate solutions not problems. Everyone agreed on the problems for the most part. They only disagreed on the prioritization of the problems and how to best solve them. Without consensus reality there is zero chance finding reasonable solutions.
One of the biggest examples is the lying about US elections. Elections are NOT a problem in the US. They just didn’t go one guy’s way and he had the power to bulkshit half the population. So now many US states are attempting to “fix” elections. Give me a f’n break.
@@DomenicT I disagree. The logical push for consumerism is because our debt based currency destroys savings. Money no longer increases in value. So you have to spend it before it can no longer buy you what it did yesterday.
Feeling this as the 'adult child' of the situation.
@@DomenicTElections are a BIG issue! The Dems have cheated in so many proveable ways, that unless we crack down on the illegality of it, we will be stuck in slavery under a tyrannical despot forever!
Hillary and Obama were caught for wiretapping Trump Towers, Russia Hoax, Fake Dossier, destroying evidence, selling Russia 25% of US Uranium etc etc so Basement Joe was just an escalation of the ELECTION INTERFERENCE! How are these false indictments not also Election Interference?!
Invoices for the printed Fake Ballots, videos of them reinputing the same ballots for Biden repeatedly! Affidavits from the people paid to fill out the Fake Ballots! Mules dropping off bulk fake ballots in those damn Drop Boxes! 4x8 sheets of plywood were put up, covering the witnesses window to observe the counts!!! They said they stopped counting at 10pm Election Night when President Trump was way ahead and should have been declared the WINNER that night!!! Did you not even watch how they refused to give Trump the states he was ahead in, while Biden was given states he was only 2 points ahead in?!😮
This is a tyrannical gov ignoring our laws and Constitution to destroy America and usher in Communism as they are bought and paid for by China!
Eric is the definition of Orwells statement, "When speaking the truth becomes a revolutionary act" is the times we are in right now.
@@Vexlore The comment that @beklerken1 wrote is so true. If you can't see what is happening in our world and how it's run I am sorry for you. Orwells statement was written years ago, but is mindbogglingly frighteningly true, we ARE living in it now
@@chriscaine7689 Revolutionary acts require more than the simple explanation of truth. It requires structural transitional propositions based on the present facts. And also require a political capital expressed in organized form. That is why the truth and organized government are the target. Government can be taken over in power grab actions just as the right is trying to presently. But is not absolute power what they have . Every change provokes a resistance . We are resisting more than they are grabbing power.
Can’t believe it’s actually happening…
@@chriscaine7689 predicted scientifically by Marx and the Marxist intellectuality and warned but ignored and denied. Betrayals have consequences.
@@georgefurman4371 The rich "Marxist intellectuality" are the ones responsible for it.
One of the most critical and difficult moments I have ever experienced in my life was when I began to realize how much of what I thought I knew or believed to be the truth was total BS; and once you rip the blinders off, you can’t unsee what you’ve seen; you can’t forget what you’ve learned; you can’t go back to that “ignorance is bliss” state of mind.
And as much as I would rather know the truth, there are times when I still find myself feeling like I’m in the Matrix, and questioning my own ability to know what is real and what is BS.
At 58 years old, this is a very unsettling feeling.
I also share your thoughts. I almost feel frozen in time after realizing all the lies and corruption happening around the world on the daily. It is my belief that the people or entities responsible for bringing all this pain and suffering will soon be eradicated from the earth with the forces of good winning the battle over evil in this spiritual psy-op war
Welcome to the great awakening.
Wait till you’re 60, it’s worse!
@@cappystrano1 I’m 59. Lol
💯
I'm a single, childless, 44 yr old female. Thank you for this talk. I appreciate you both for this discussion.
Water, firearms (rifle), ammunition, and gold. In that order. Hope to see you when we’re not a heathen species 😂❤️
Hey, I hope you are doing fine, or preferably more than fine.
I hope you are doing well too.
Wishing you joy.
But why ?
"People who love their children dont drill holes in the childrens life raft" Most powerful statement I have heard all year! Amazing.
That quote and "it's just Mars", kinda blew my mind lol
He was very right
Those "helpless" little white children being scarred because they need to learn the truth about black history in America..... People actually believe that crap.
What about "ingroup sex & bukake at light speed" ?
AND (2nd best thing he said)”whoever this class of people is that CRAWLED into our elite institutions is just DEAD.” Omg. I love it!
I’m a high school dropout hair dresser listening to two brilliant humans. I don’t understand all, but enough. To me, this is the beauty of the internet, sitting in on a conversation I would never have been exposed to. Thank you both. I try to watch Eric and Brent when possible.
As a mom of 5 teenagers, the end part about men, I’d like to share, don’t underestimate how many parents ARE getting it right. JP is my hero and I send his clips to my kids (particularly my 3 boys 13-19). When Eric talked about parents not loving their kids and putting them first, that’s what makes the broken adults today. I think it’s our duty to call out parents (our friends/peers) when they are not doing right by their children, and I think you know what I mean.
Well said! I agree. However, most everyone is "out to lunch," and they do not know it. Calling out those who are clueless is useless. Most believe that they already have their answers. (You are an exception. Bravo for being self aware.) ❤❤
keep LISTENING, LEARNING
I am not a high school drop out but I spent my life as a working stiff and I totally get your point. I was thinking the same thing that here I am, eating my breakfast and listening to a conversation between to brilliant men and that, in itself, is just amazing. The fact that I understand even a small part of it is equally amazing.
Hey Steph, I spent two thirds of my life being educated or doin it to others and I'm of the same mind as you as regards the value of this conversation. When I was pretending to be a family man, like you I tried expose my stepdaughter to music or ideas which were stretch-goals. She often surprised me with her interpretations. You sound like a fine person, if I had any hair left I'd like to have it done by a grounded, benevolent person like you.
ps. my sister was a high school dropout. When both her kids had finished uni she gave it a try, and then took up a hard-core career as a social-worker. Don't put yourself down on that score, though I know many morons will. I used to produce them: I know what their opinions are worth.
You're so much more than a high school dropout you're a human being who's hungry to learn and grow and you chose a profession that's a service to others so you have a servant's heart which is beautiful please don't ever sell yourself short a person is not the same total of their education or their social standing or their wealth those things don't matter who are as a person does
This has been out for 4 months now and I am so grateful it popped up in my line up.
Wow. This conversation was beautiful and poetic.
It touched two out of three… my heart and my head. Thank you 🙏🏼
One of the best podcasts I’ve heard. Eric is brilliant, I want to hear more from him!
Eric is sooooooooo right about the schools. I am 72. 40 years ago, we were being warned by universities and politicians that the students in the USA were being dumbed down. There were dire warnings being SHOUTED. And it was so true. I was very young when I heard this but never could have understood the degree to which they were right.
The man is on point about everything and yet here we are, still riding the train to Auschwitz! 😂
I know. Even those who profess to their brilliance are the dummies.. They were pampered and don't even know how stupid they are. Sadly during the illness they were the 1st to be under mass physcosis. Still happening. The c limit religious cult has decided that we are the
C o 2. That which we need to grow life. We exhaust it.. we r using bio tech for the wrong reason. Not to benefit but to eliminate ppl worship virgin earth and want to build Babylon we aren't invited. Mass extinction of hu mans..under way..using knowledge to destroy.
They were taken over by Communist in 1960. I collect political memorabilia. The left has been pushing this agenda at the very top since 1890.
Who were they trying to kid? The universities and politicians WANT people to be dumbed down. The universities are now the locus of half of what is wrong with this country and the politicians are the other half. Academics sat by as their institutions were corroded and eroded by the woke mind virus and it's because most of them were infected themselves.
We are the same age! You are absolutely correct. It's a "long game", that our foes play & we are watching the HORROR SHOW unfold right before our eyes‼️ HOW can people be so blind?😢
I don’t take this lightly when saying that I believe this is one of, if not the best podcast episodes I have ever listened to. The range of topics, the nuanced discussion, everything in between. The questions, the answers the dialogue. A true masterclass in podcasting. Well done Chris. Your success is earned absolutely.
It helps that he is a wellread amateur in a whole bunch of fields. Men like him should be the norm and not idiots like that Logan Paul
Came here to say the same - what a glorious conversation, amazing subjects covered and what an amazing example of great communication.
Yeah there's something about Eric that is a gift to humanity and Chris knows how to bring out the best in him. Kinda like Elton John and Bernie Taupin. What we need and I realize this is a fools errand or phantom, is someone like us that truly appreciates what is being said and actually is in a position and motivated to do something about it.
Seems like every conversation Eric has changes perspectives because he’s willing to move with the data and take a new approach each time. So refreshing
100% agree. This was an amazing podcast. I was sad when it ended, although I am sure to listen to this one several times.
This is the second video I've viewed of Mr. Williamson interviewing professor Weinstein. I now understand why I find them so enjoyable. Much in the vein of "My Dinner with Andre" they remind me of long, long ago (the Nixon-VietNam years) weekend BS sessions in prep school and undergrad where we'd sit around and "save the planet." Sometimes we'd do it in student bars over pitchers of beer, at others in the floor of someone's living room as we passed around a jug of wine and a joint or two or three and the desultory ideas would flow. They'd inevitably end when someone had to go back to his dorm to cram or half of us had passed out on the floor. But we reached a level of bonding that rivals a post-Saint Crispin speech or the Wild Bunch, yet no one died. In the service of this mutual mental probing, we became like brothers for that one evening and walked away better, thoughtful, deeper individuals for it. Man, miss those days. Thanks Mr. Williamson and professor Weinstein for bringing them back--if only for a few hours while _completely_ sober and straight!
That's one shared experience, a deep bond we desired would go on forever and knew it could not-- _our_ "truth."
Be well.
Really well expressed. Ty
Family is always priority. Prayers for a an accurate diagnosis and successful treatment. Grace to all of you.
"It comes out of not loving your children. People who love their children don't drill holes in their childrens life raft". So incredibly accurate and 100% the base cause of everything that is happening.
He said it as soon as I read this 🤯
I was thinking the same thing. I appreciate someone from his generation saying this!
This hit soooooo hard
I wonder if this is borne out of nihilism? Since we understand that nothing will beat entropy, some people think that we shouldn't invest anything to even try?
I remember so well in the 1970s and 80s, all of those motorhomes driven by those retirees of the "Greatest Generation" in their Golden Parachutes and those bumper stickers that read, "We're spending our children's inheritance," and how they voted down education bills to the point that only motivated Leftist wanted the jobs.
I’m one of those waitresses. I have been for 35 years. Raised 2 kids the right way. I sacrificed a lot for them being a single mom.They’re adults now and I’m proud of them. They’ve done well. I’ve found as I’ve grown older, my need for “stuff” is gone. I don’t have much and don’t feel like there’s anything I need as far as material things to be happy. I’m always amazed when I think about how little I need to live a decent life. Im 55 with no retirement. That’s the only thing that scares me. I can’t wrap my head around people who have millions or billions. How much is enough? If I had that kind of money I’d be a philanthropist.
To hoard money seems like one of the most criminal things a person could do. It's worth nothing unless you spend it, and if others need it, those with much should help those with little
With the multibillionaires it's not about the money but the power
@@DS-fo4ed well, obviously it's about the money or they wouldn't have the power but yes they love the power.
@@yahshua1110easier to say when you don’t have the money lmao
@@Lalapizzle if you have the money you most likely worship it and would die without it. That's why you see so many rich that lose their money take their own life.
I'm only halfway through this interview ... this is the most accurate and interpretative extrapolations of my personal thought path/process on every point mentioned but especially the current situation of corrupt stifling of science and the associated resulting anger ... Collaborative thinking outside the box is what has gotten us this far ... the framing of all research fraternities has to be disconnected from the broken economic power pestilence of materialism and ego ... Bravo ... I loved the guitalele analogy as I have same instrument at hand 24x7 and it is a valuable transcendence vehicle ... I also have a full set of harmonicas ... Thank you Eric Weinstein ....
and Muireann Bradley for my latest musical inspiration
Chris and Eric do a great podcast together! Eric really pushes Chris and it’s really fascinating to watch and learn from them.
I love the way the two of you interact with each other: "Tell me more about that" "I'm not sure I follow, explain what you mean" - and lots of pregnant pauses while you think in real time. So many lessons to use in everyday life. thank you!
It was a real 4 chord symphony !!!
The pregnant pause is so he can make up some nonsense lol
A pregnant pause is a pause in talking to give the impression of pausing because of the surprise of what's just been said and/or a pause in speaking to give the impression of thinking out how to say something very serious. A pause that is so full of anticipation it's like a pregnant belly.
@@rolandhawken6628Just like you like to do? Haha
Humans are attracted to beauty and beauty is seen in symmetry. Humanity in general is attracted to beauty because we are beings of nature. On a binary plane like the internet, an app is created to artificially mimic beauty by connecting us as humanity. We are creatures of observation so when we gaze at our screens and view artificially planted subjective beauty content. I think this is a unique consequence of the creation of and assimilation of social media. The consequence is derived from beauty and the internet perverts it.
This must be the best podcast episode I’ve ever witnessed. So refreshing to FINALLY hear someone of repute, state and acknowledge the OBVIOUS madness, of the past few years. Very VERY good episode! Thank you
Hundreds of public intellectuals and pundits have been decrying the same things he has, but don't have to use arcane physics and economics jargon to make themselves look smarter than everyone else.
@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 not to mention creating fake mysteries such as calling Jeffrey Epstein a construct when the interviewer called him a plant just replacing words with other words that mean essentially the same thing. It gets very confusing trying to follow what he's saying and then working it back towards some sort of mossad connection. There are people that just do bad stuff it doesn't always have to be a conspiracy.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 He's a mathematician. It's how he thinks. I doubt the idea was to promote his intellect as opposed to trying to convey an idea in things he understands.
@@lordvoldamort4606I love your moniker 😜😝😝
Well if that is is vocabulary what else he you do. Chriss follows him!@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017
I'm 64 years old. I was a single mom. Raised my children to be able to survive and stand on their own feet,especially in a crisis. We are in a spiritual battle with the forces of good and evil.
Agree!!
True
Totally 💯
Yes ans it’s a bit more than that! Knowledge is important too! Discernment of how to dart around this evil and make good decisions!
Awesome interview- also Chris can we get Whitney Webb and Eric in the same room?
I can not think of a more dynamic, challenging conversation. 😵💫
That would be awesome.
Thank you for your enlightened discussion. At 83 years of age I abide to the best of what culture has to offer. The rest of cantankerous humanity I avoid with a passion. As a woman I despise what Feminism has done to men. I bet there are more women like myself of like opinion.
Indeed, there are many. At 53, I am most definitely of the same opinion. Hubby and I moved to a rural location where we can’t even see our neighbors. We know them and we’re all friends out here, much like it was in the 1950’s - everyone knows each other, watches out for each other, keeps eyes on each other’s kids…& we’re all there to help each other at the drop of a hat. And between those friendly, meaningful & beneficial interactions, we’re all very happy to not be immersed in the appropriately termed “cantankerous humanity”. I’ve all but lost hope for this country (planet?). The event(s) it would require to bring us back to the way society used to interact with each other...is not nice to think about, to say the least.
Yes ma'am. I'm a 63 year old woman who is a traditional homemaker....a career I LOVE! I HATE what feminist have done to the family unit and how they want to emasculate men! I LOVE traditional roles we all participate in within the family. I reject feminist ideology and am holding on tight to God, family values and working towards self sufficiency
@tarantulady8565 my husband and I are working at being self sufficient. I grow a lot of our food and I do a lot of canning. The less I go to the grocery store the happier I am
@@charsiu_808 You won’t regret any of that. It all brings peace of mind in multiple ways.👍
Eric is my fav
My children are in their 40's and their grandchildren are entering their teens. They have travelled the world but now all live within 10 minutes of my wife and I and we are an integral part of their lives, babysitting, watching their sport, helping with school and home projects.. How can anyone think this is a bad thing?
Anti-humanist's, other than that? Not one single and rational minded being.
Not a single sane human... You are a truly wealthy man, Sir. God bless you.
You are blessed for sure
This is the way…
Forcing children to move out of the house at 18, having them attend boarding summer camps that are hundreds of miles away, having them attend universities in other states, then having them permanently move and raise their family hundreds of miles from you were probably the worst American inventions ever. Which is why most other parts of the world did not copy those American inventions.
Chris, you are better at this than Joe Rogan. Keep it up.
I would love to meet Eric just to shake his hand and let him know how much I enjoy his interviews/thoughts. Then I would leave him completely alone and let him enjoy his day.
Eric is back from a 3 week vacation and is just over it. We're finally starting to hear from the the ones worth listening to that this madness actually needs to stop. 10/10 interview.
That's what Eric said to Jeffrey Epstein last time they were hangin' out.
yup, just dont be drawn into thinking too much of the guy. he's either an oblivious fool or a sketchy p.o.s. it's been well-documented by whitney webb & others that epstein was indeed an astute financial broker (either before or alongside of his sexual trafficking & blackmail). he was part of one of the largest ponzi schemes in US history prior to madoff. he helped bill gates/microsoft & the clinton foundation (for just 2 examples) figure out how to launder money thru their "charities." so eric's insistence, time and time again, that he just doesnt believe epstein had a financial mind is either malicious obfuscation or idiocy.
@@brackloon4584my name is Ep
@@brackloon4584Did you actually listen to his account of that meeting?
@@DreamseedVR Any individual who meets with Ep after he was convicted for child sex offences, is culpable. I have witnessed Erics flamboyant expose on the matter and his efforts to abjugate himself. Pathetic if it were not so disturbing.
One of the best conversations I’ve ever listened to, and I am an old man. The ability of these men to listen for understanding , ask for clarification, admit there deficiencies, such an amazing example of how one should try to communicate, let alone the amazing material content. I’m a little bit blown away.
“ Please tell me more“, will be my new conversational breaker. F’ing brilliant.
Yes! Agree completely. -From another old man
Yes!
This is the kind of conversation that's possible between two brilliant people that aren't wasting time trying to show each other (or anyone else) how smart they are. Or something like that.
I was about to post essentially the same sentiment. I wish I could have been in the room for this. Oh yeah. And I'm 68. It's been a long time since I've heard such intelligent conversation.
I agree with you 100%
Really fun guest, he has a perspective and way of thinking and speaking, a balance, that I find really compelling. Take it from the man.
*42:00 Guest on how to deal with all the confusion and manipulation, "What you are seeing is a complete destruction of reality unless you were physically there...Nobody knows what's true. You know, if you ask me, Eric, how are you dealing with this, I would say I'm failing. I'm just flat out failing. As are all of you. I'm just more honest about it." His comfort with not knowing or not having an answer is a notable quality and gives his perspectives a believability I like. Someone once said all is illusion. Sort of like demanding an elevated level of respect, saying one knows what is RIGHT and WRONG in a complicated, nuanced situation usually indicates which side the person wants to prevail.
2:13:00 Wow. Guest speaking on his 4 essentials: truth, meaning, fitness and grace. This bit hit home.
Eric's thoughts on how families have changed are spot on.
“Why are we dealing with these people?”
Nailed it, Eric.
He most certainly did! I am super impressed and awed by his wisdom and ability to communicate very complex ideas. Bravo Eric! THANX Chris.
100% agree. This is a discussion that needs to be had on a broad scale.
Yes! Why would people rather watch the Kardashians than listen to a conversation like this?

I recall my uncle, a physicist, saying essentially the same as Eric re physics. We just don't know enough.. yet. Gosh, since he passed there are a million things I want to ask. Listening to Eric is enormously satisfying. Uncle Edgar was moral too .
Really enjoyed the context of the conversation, and as a woodworker and welder thought it amazing that it’s filmed in a nice workshop.
Eric is much smarter than I realized. The way he examines questions and theories in a logical manner makes so much sense in an insane world. 🌎
I'll be honest I've tried to watch interviews with Eric before, but his intelligence is usually above my pay grade. But this was such an incredible interview, he definitely reeled me in at the start with his outlook on his children. As the child of immigrant parents I have the exact same philosophy with our kids and my fully American husband now sees that as the best way to raise our kids as well. He said so many profound things I kept finding myself rewinding to make sure I heard and comprehended every word. His last couple of minutes were so on point! Loved this!!!!
The beauty of a podcast is that you can pause it. If there's anything said you have trouble getting your head around. Pause and focus on the segment and do some searching about. Whenever something is too difficult, break it down into manageable pieces 😤
I can relate, I normally have to watch him several times over before I get a grasp of what he is saying. It is always worth it.
He's not intelligent. He didn't have one original or thought provoking point. Everything he said is exactly what a Christian hating, Unpatriotic fake Jew would say. He wants to censor speech and his idea of a great society is one where he doesn't have to reference a Constitution that our great forefathers created already.
This may have been the best interview I’ve seen of Eric. Respect to both of these gentlemen
Clearly such an intelligent Individual. Nothing but respect!
I've enjoyed listening to Eric, but this Williamson guy should stop trying to sound smart, it just comes out as verbal diarrhea.
The fact that he mentioned his conversations with LEX, in the context of YOUR questioning and podcast, with only a few criticisms to LEX'S... That says a lot.
This is my new hero...."you can't trust, Harvard, Nature, NIH, CDC, WHO" love it
Eric is who this long form podcast is made for. He lives and thinks large and is an inspiration to me to be the same. Thank you.
Agree. This is EXACTLY the type of person that’s meant to be heard for that long
Agree wholeheartedly!
We all agree Eric Weinstein is an embarrassment. A self-congratulatory hack who talks in circles.
Yes!😊
Indeed! I have always told my girls that if they are the smartest humans in the room, they should find a new room. I think Ive found my new room! He is fascinating! 3 hours is not enough!
The majority of people confuse self-deprecation with humility. You can own your gifts/accomplishments/knowledge and stand in your authority while maintaining deep humility.
Excellent discussion! 💜
🎯
To paraphrase Sherlock Holmes "False modesty is just as obnoxious as bravado."
The final message from Eric in the end was music and harmony to my soul.
I was emotionally and physically abused growing up and I was always scared to communicate with people. I had no confidence and had no father in my life either. I had to raise myself and my 2 younger siblings while experiencing abuse in many forms and a mother who could not control her emotions to teach me anything correct! I’m 34 and just started living on my own at 29! I got into drinking and drugs from no structure and trauma. Drinking n using was the only way I could communicate with people. Thankfully I got sober at 28… I still struggle financially as we all are but my family are poor too. My mom is selfish (Gen X) and my grandparents are gone and they were that same way. I couldn’t even afford to get a lawyer to fight for my kids as their mother controls when or how I see them and get to spend time with them. My life has been a shit show but I still wake up, remember to be happy and try my best everyday! I won’t let my past dictate my future! I am in complete control of my destiny. I barely get by financially but I am happy! I don’t let the “worldly” things dictate my happiness. We are in some crazy times and I’m terrified to see politics in 30 yrs!!! The world today is a mess and one big party while the ship is sinking rapidly! All I can say is get right!! Know something big is going to come and embrace it all. We have no other choice. Much love.
Please find Jesus I know it’s cliche but when everything is said and done He is all we have.
If it makes you feel better, friend, I too had a psycho mom and a ghost for a father. They got me too.
Please no matter what don’t give up. That’s all I ask of you.
The way Eric interprets his reality could break minds, people are so pre-conditioned, he brings new dimensions. Love him
He’s alright. I think he talks the way he does, just to impress himself and others. He’s smart, but not as much as he likes to think.
@@rhodesianhunter9360 Oh, calm down. If he's alright because you agree with what he says, why did you feel the need to post a comment trying to knock him down a peg? Oh, yeah, you like to hear your own voice. That's interesting. We're unimpressed. lolol.
@@rhodesianhunter9360😂😂😂...and I think how you compare in intelligence..😂😂😂 thank you for a good laugh!
@macverishe3480 so your saying capitalism is to blame? Thats your answer?
Hate how he talks though. "Oh so you're saying it's like X? "No, no, I'm saying it's Z." "Well what's Z?" (Proceeds to describe X)
He goes through a lot of unnecessary run arounds and it sometimes feels like Chris is squeezing blood from a stone to get him to speak about something. I don't think he's dumb or using fancy speak to sound smart, but he really "no sells" a lot of things for seemingly no reason.
I wish Eric would do his podcast again. My impression is that he created this monster out of the decision to keep doing it and the response from the public. At the least, I wish he did more rounds of guesting on good shows. He does a great job at bringing conversations with people into areas that haven't already been hashed 500 times on the other interviews and podcast the other party has been on.
I really miss the Portal as well
Yes was very interesting
Me too!
I keep seeing your username. Stop stalking me.
He recorded a whole 2nd season that he doesn't release. Michael Malice was a guest on an episode
I was never inspired, but seeing Gaudi's work inspired me.
Outstanding conversation on every topic you two discussed 👏👏 More please!
It took me a while to warm up to Eric Weinstein. I've seen him on Lex Friedman, on Rogan, here and there and every time I listen, I become more intrigued. He has a way of expressing my own feelings and thoughts about this world.
It actually makes me feel comfortable with myself.
Thank you Eric Weinstein
I've listened to Eric for years. And the thing about listening to him is I feel both smarter and dumber each time. Lol
His brother Bret weinstein is just as awesome and smart
@@lucascasey6867 indeed.

Eric has been impossible to understand until now he let slip some tiny glimpse of how his theory is structured Yes this is a big deal after many hours listening 🎉
“People aren’t watching what’s happening to them. They are being denatured by their phones. “
Just one brilliant observation in a 3 hour rout. Love love love.
Most people. I don't own a smart phone. Best decision in my life. I reccomend it but if you need something for work get a flip phone.
Whitney Webb wrote a two part book on Epstien called One Nation Under Blackmail. I recommend it.
Eric Weinstein is a great man, he's highly underrated. Jordan Peterson also, a great man, highly underrated.

Don’t forget about the guests! The only aspect about his podcasts that irk me are that he seemingly needs to seek validation from his guests by showcasing what he knows, and tries to display that he is ‘one of them’ so to speak. I don’t need anymore of his armchair term coinages.
the art of asking short precise questions and then shutting up (letting go). so important! he's really good at this.
TO CHRIS’S PRODUCER: This episode looks absolutely gorgeous.
The cinematography is fantastic.
Beautiful color and composition.

Excellent chat. Two phenomenal humans. Thank you gentlemen.
I just stumbled across this video without knowing anything about either Chris Williamson or Eric Weinstein, and I cannot tell you how incredible it was to listen to two individuals having a rational, intelligent conversation about so many topics without the very common need to make sure that their views and opinions were the only right one!
I was very impressed by the common effort that both of you made to make sure that you really did understand what the other was saying.
It was like a breathe of fresh air!
I especially liked the portion where you both examined the uncertainty of knowing that seems to pervade pretty well any important topic right now, and suggestions of how to deal with it. For some time now I have felt so torn apart because of how difficult or even impossible it seems to come to a clear and factual conclusion on almost anything these days, and it frustrates and angers me so much! Especially because a large amount of these topics are just SO FRIGGIN' IMPORTANT! . . . . and it often results in my feeling very impotent and powerless, with no clear place to stand.
I HATE IT!
. . . . oh, and I have to thank you for introducing me to the Sagrada Familia! Wow!
I have never heard of this building before, and immediately had to google it. I especially googled images of the ceiling, and had my mind blown!
This is a building on acid! I grew up during the time of Timothy Leary and dropped LSD a few times, and I swear that this building is a physical demonstration of an acid trip!
Same! Well said.
You should listen to eric on joe rogan podcast. You would like it.
It's pretty amazing. Went there in 2000. Views from the lookout towers are sick. Incidentally, it is way more than 70 years in the making and there is still a lot left to do.
I sort of had a connection when Eric mentioned Gowdy and one of my CDs in the mid 80s was Alan Parsons project and it was called Gowdy and one of the songs was the two words and as soon as he said them, it reminded me of the CD I think it’s one in the same thatis being spoken about now. I have to find that CD.
This is maybe my favorite interview with Eric. There were lots of generous moments in conversation, pauses for thought - less hectic than other interviews. Chris gracefully called out the places where his audience might be lost. I found it not just interesting, but satisfying, to listen to. It's not all about the people and how they talk, but I felt the mode of conversation expressed the large thoughts Eric has well.
Well said. I have seen a few of his interviews but I think Chris brought out the best of him and made him lay out his ideas as clearly as possible
Just a retired physician (MD) loving these long format discussions with Intellectual Titans such as Erik Weinstein. Subbed. 👌🏻😎👌🏻
I planted a Giant Sequoia on the corner of my lot, on a street full of Coastal Redwoods grow. I imagine it 1,500 years from now, perhaps the only thing living here alive today, will be that Giant Sequoia which is the same age as our Granddaughter.
To my surprise, I think this is the best non-military-related podcast that I’ve ever listened to. Fantastic interview bro, seriously. I’ve never seen anyone demonstrate the ability to properly interview Eric Weinstein, in the way that you have.
Eric can be a handful and will often come of poorly. This interview really guided him along well.
@@sam_s_ yeah! You nailed it
I think it was was the best nontheoretical physics related podcast that I have ever listened to.
@@MaxBrix wasn’t he talking theoretical physics?
@@1EpicLife1he dabbled ever so slightly to get a point across, but he didn’t dive into anything to a point in which the conversation thread derailed. Big kudos to Chris on that front
I 100% agree with Eric that we keep voting for people who will never live to see the consequences of their actions and basically voting for people who liquidating our current assets.
Right, this is something that just occurred to me thinking of the reasons why these people do what they do, they're about to die so why not screw us and go out laughing at our ignorance, and things like that
@@brothernorb8586THAT is another reason to have age limits and probably the best argument for it!
@@ib1ray I was thinking about it with my grand parents and even my parents, I would never trust my grandparents to make life changing decisions for me at my age, they can barely understand how to use their cell phone, use the internet or function with all of whats happening around much less to run a country.
Everyone on the ballot is compromised to answer to high interests, not the people. The vote matters not.
Perhaps you might want to look into your messiah complex..No one from the government is coming to save us. WAKE the heck up! As if voting really matters! If it did they wouldn't let us do it
One of the best 3 hr interviews ever watched. To my mind, Eric is the most astute, intelligent living person and Chris was the perfect sidekick.
What was y other 2 most faverout conversations...i have fomo issues...share please😊
Oo ok 3 hours not 3 conversations sorry😂😂😂😂
It just hit me mid way why I enjoy and feel better while listening to Eric. He's the sane truth teller of the over view of what's actually going on and feels accurate. I wish he and like minds could find their way in or affect institutional overtake . But I fear it's too high a hill and maybe too late.
I love listening to Eric, but you really did an awesome job talking to him. I don't know how you do it, but I feel you set the stage perfectly. This is really one of the best talks I've seen in a while.
Eric has a bad habit of trying to couch his concepts in a way that sounds sophisticated instead of in a way that is approachable to 'mere mortals'.
I haven't been able to figure out if that is by design, or if it's that Eric is actually bright enough that I'm a speed bump by comparison. Chris does an excellent job though of forcing Eric down from the clouds of esotericism into a realm where concepts take actual tangible form and can be debated.
@@jastrcklI'm pretty sure I'm a speedbump!
@jastrckl agree. He may be brilliant put I got nothing out of this discussion. I like listening to Brett.
Best podcast I've seen in years.... possibly ever. Kudos to Chris and Eric.
same
thoroughly enjoyed this interview especially the guitar parts. keep spreading the word . you are reaching a lot of people who appreciate you.🙏
I don't always agree with him, but Eric is amazing.
Eric is the most fascinating person I've ever heard speak. I can't believe I sat through the entire 3 plus hours of this show. You basically did the full "Dances with Wolves" movie in a single podcast and somehow made it more interesting than any film I've seen in years. Congratulations on your channel. SUBSCRIBED.
From the tone and content of your comment, I’m guessing this is your first exposure to Eric. If I’m right, I’d encourage you to seek out more, as well as his brother Bret. And in particular, one episode of Eric’s Portal podcast with Bret about two years ago wherein he forced Bret to tell the one of the most important untold stories of our day which emerged from Bret’s research.
You described him as fascinating; he is endlessly so. He will repeat themes, but very rarely says the same thing (in the same way) twice. He expresses complexity without being complicated.
Eric makes my brain hurt and the hair stand up on the back of my neck at the same time... He's such a good listen.
To many to tonka takayhello 👍🏽
@@stvbrsn Yes, you are correct. Although I've heard Eric's name before, this is the first time I've ever heard him speak. My soul has been hungry for content such as this.
For starters, Eric is great a stopping and thinking about every word he is about to speak. This makes him fascinating to listen to.
Secondly, Chris is a very intelligent young man who listens to people speak. He is like Joe Rogan in that he allows the guest to speak without interrupting. But Chris is definitely more intelligent than Joe in that he can contribute more context or ask great follow up questions.
I love it when each of them stop the conversation with the phrase "go deeper", or "talk more about that."
I will definitely be seeking out much more from Eric Weinstein as well as Chris's podcast.
@@caruccjw Yes, you definitely need a few cups of coffee and listen to him someplace where you can concentrate uninterrupted. His words require a lot of thought on the listener.
Eric is a wonderful guest. His no bs approach and candidness is so refreshing
In a directionless world. We need direct people.
I've evolved from dismissing Eric as a grifter to one of the more important voices in physics.
“Family is weak because the markets are strong” i could not agree more. It’s sad how everyone in our families just move away and have very little contact anymore. I felt this way in the 60’s when older brothers just left to chase stuff and money. 😞
Mass confusion and distrust is a feature not a bug, we can’t unite against our tyrants as long as no two of us can agree on what’s actually happening.
"If the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor today, we would spend 10 years discussing whether it was a false flag, whether it was actually the Japanese, whether there was any attack, whether it was a sound stage, whether it was a psyop..." It's sad but true! 😅 EDIT: The replies to this comment are actually doing this, smh...🤦♂

This conversation is absolutely blowing my mind. Eric is putting into language what can barely be explained by the most brilliant minds. He makes the chaos coherent.
His metaphors are sick AF. "Personal destruction is the coin of the realm," damn.
Amem to that!
If you watch a lot of cop videos, you’ll see they basically ignore everything out of a suspect’s mouth unless the suspect is giving them something concrete and evidence based.
Average people really need to learn to do that with everything they hear from any media source. And average people also need to learn not to take a stance on something they know very little about.
Hilarious. He's talking poo.
@@kmg474Well reasoned argument. Congrats
Never heard of Chris Williamson before. But I have now. Good job Chris you are a very impressive young man. This is literally my best Eric Weinstein interview I’ve ever heard and I’m a fan. Keep up the good work guys.
Wow, I loved the way he spoke about my beautiful country, Portugal and its Azores islands!!!
Because concerning human affairs.... there is no truth as such. Philosophers and others still do not agree to what is truth.
Eric, his brother Bret and wife Heather are 3 of a small set of people who helped get me through the craziness of the past 4 years. They almost always say exactly what I’m thinking albeit in a much more eloquent way than I possibly could.
Me, too. Brilliant, reasonable and centered. Love these guys.
Totally agree and you stated that very well!

Then maybe you are also mentally ill, just like them.
I share the same experience. I'm relieved to hear there are others who feel the same.
This conversation was outstanding not only in terms of the topics discussed and the brilliance Eric shares wherever he speaks, but also for the sublime ability Chris brings to bear in drawing out the most genuinely insightful responses from Eric. This is all the more impressive given the 20+ year age difference, confirming the deep wisdom Chris has cultivated in his life. His interviews are truly a gift to us all.
You must have either just discovered Eric Weinstein. He has been appearing on different podcasts and youtubers shows and he has been able to make himself sound interesting and insightful. Some people have this conversational skill with words and the ability to get the interest of others peaked, but he has so far not shown anything for his words. People have been trying to follow him for years trying to figure out what it is exactly that he says he figured out, or discovered, or calculated and most people still have no idea what on earth he is talking about. Other academic scientists keep asking him to at least produce one research paper but Eric Weinstein gives various childish excuses why he doesn't. I think most people will soon find out that he is some sort of professional scam artist, a charlatan, or maybe he really believes he "knows something" and is delusional. Perhaps he has some sort of delusions of grandeur, or a "suppressed genius" complex. I don't know.
@@StopFear I grasp the majority of his metaphors related to politics and society. However, when he delves into physics topics, my understanding falters, and I tend to tune out. It's worth noting that many contemporary individuals struggle to decipher metaphors in general. Just the other day, I posted on Twitter that the influential figures have their 'tentacles' all over the place, and a young woman with autism took it literally, thinking I was suggesting that powerful individuals are octopuses. She couldn't connect the dots, highlighting the peculiar nature of our times.
Exceptional interview, & interviewee. First time viewer & new subscriber. Thanks for the thought provoking exchange!
THANK YOU for breaking it up into labeled chapters in this long discussion with this exceedingly impressive intellectual.
One of the finest podcasts I've ever listened to, its a steal really. How is this even free?!:)
It took me four days to complete watching and listening to this talk, but it was worth every hour and minute. So insightful and thought provoking, educational and enjoyable. I am glad to have found this channel!
It's not free. You're paying with your attention and both TH-cam and the channel profit from your boredom and desire for knowledge. Mwahahahwhahahahah 🧙♂️👁️
@@averyintelligence I'm totally ok with paying the highest currency - time - in exchange for having the opportunity to listen to such talks. Otherwise, yes, we're not even the customers of TH-cam or any social media platform, but rather products of it.
Fascinating interview. Dr. Weinstein covers a wide array of topics with intelligence, insight, and humor, as well as hugely original takes I've never heard elsewhere.
Hugely original because they're stupid and wrong.
Usually annoyed with E. Weinstein but this one I enjoyed. Nice job Chris.
I remember having a very well paid job in IT with 24 staff just before the Y2K bust. The PAs etc in the office would often flirt with me. A year or so after that I hadn't found another similar role and was temping on minimum wage to keep my supermarket bills ticking over. The PAs at that employer looked at me like I was something nasty they'd just stepped on. It was quite a lesson in life.
Eric is an excellent raconteur with incredible depth of knowledge, experience and analysis. He sees things from a 360 degree view and has unique insights. One truly learns and learns to think by listening to him. Chris has done well to interview this fascinating person and keeping the conversation stoked, honest and riveting. Kudos
I like when Eric smiles and laughs. There's a lot he means by doing so, and you get a burst of imagery and meaning if you've followed his output over the years. I hope this guy lives a long life... he's a good reflection of what enlightenment entails at the moment.
He's a clear psychopath with no life in his eyes
a Magical Mensa Man - One of the most important voices in today's world.
Very much agree... unfortunately I think he's stepped on the toes of MANY powerful people, and this may end up leading to some kind of tragic end. He's very careful not to name names most of the time (likely to avoid getting knocked off by those powerful people) but just the act of pulling the veil off of the dark, seedy, underbelly of power structures can be very dangerous. You look at what they did to Trump just because he was an outsider who had gained power and posed a threat to their entrenched good 'ol boys club. They did everything short of attempting to kill him to get him out of power. Fortunately for Trump, he was too narcissistic, and likely not quite bright enough to pose much of an actual threat... otherwise he would've ended up like a Kennedy.
@dxfifa he's good at sounding smart and mystifying people. But just wait.. he's working on a secret science project that will revolutionize all of physics and everything and one day everyone will have to respect him.. you'll see! 😅

Great conversation!, thank you.
I have so many thoughts about this episode. First, I could listen to Eric all day and never be bored. Second, I was not expecting this to turned to the research and a topic of most interest for me. I studied endocrine disruptors and their impacts on fish mate choice/copulation in my undergraduate degree and stumbled upon the topic of the feminization of men. Side note, I think they are also falling into a trap trying to grasp at female mate preference and choice. You also can't expect that women will be honest to collectively describe their preferences or how that might differ from what they choose. I think what women say and what women choose can be different. Female mate preference also changes over time and is not as static as male preference. How is Game of Thrones so popular when by definition most of the men in the show are "toxic" men. Applies to many popular shows and movies. It's a complex topic but I mean welcome to complex systems! Anyways, excellent discussion!
Three hours of the most compelling discussion I've ever been exposed to, and the discussion gets deeper and deeper as it goes. Thank you Chris.

@@literatious308 What is it about Weinstein that brings out the Dunning-Kreuger so much in you guys? I guess it's his ego influencing all of you. Impressive when you consider that he's such a forgettable "intellectual".
What Eric said about loving our children struck me deeply. When I became a father, and at the same time time lost trust that the system we've been colonized by could provide our children and give them a fair chance to live a good life,, I went grazy from worry. So grazy that I decided to "save the world" even single handedly, if nobody else would not help out.
Still crazy, learned a lot, but somehow less worried. When we give up fantasies of controlling others, we can build confidence and trust from our loving kindness.
I thoroughly enjoyed your guest’s take . D
Thank you. Very enjoyable. Cheers
You are really good at making Eric make his overly vague comments more specific. Have not seen anyone do it before. 👍🏼
This was truly fascinating... the seeming ease to get Eric to engage more deeply and narrow his comments with much greater specificity. I think most previous interviewers have either felt intimidated by Eric's intellectualism, or maybe they actually did understand his general point, but failed to see the value to the audience of having answers which are more concrete, have better clarity, and fills in the massive gaps Eric's usual vague answers leave us with. Basically a long way of saying, hey thanks for "dumbing it down" for me! 😂
I agree. He really should be even more specific. Big ideas. Important ideas but until they become specific it’s just a bunch of words that seem not to apply to those of us living in the real world
To be honest, I think that Eric talks that way to appear more intelligent than he is. Eighty-five percent of this conversation was torture.
@@andysedlak1534 No wonder you were bored. Believing Eric has to say things (example?) to make himself seem more intelligent to an audience? Eric doesn’t have to pretend anything. If anything, he dampens down his true level of intellect. His usage of metaphors and anecdotes is what allows most to fully appreciate and understand what point he’s making. If he did speak with his full intellect (and his depth of thinking) totally engaged…many would have to go elsewhere. Is he an average guy? Genius mathematicians aren’t average.
What we fans also know a bit about Eric (besides his genius) is that he has such a huge heart. He openly searches for honesty and integrity from others, has one helluva BS meter and gives more than he takes.

I thank you for your service. An excellent index. A very important interview,and since I don't have three-plus hours available. I can now return to viewing with your overview as a guide. Great job.
You would be useful, if the pinned comment didn't already give us basically the same thing.
I love the chemistry and comfort here. Came for Eric, stayed for Eric, but returning for the talented interviewing model.
*I find it very interesting that Weinstein note the destruction of the Physicist ran [roughly] from 1984 through 1987: Anyone alive and working in ANY field even slightly "STEM" or STEM Adjacent, remembers that this was the Reagan "Star Wars" Defense Period. I worked on a Star Wars compartment in that period, as I am certain Eric did as well - so his inability to make that connection is striking. I wonder how he is missing this obvious connection (and if you follow the connection, the actual answer to his fearful questions)?*
This is such an amazing conversation, like most of Eric's previous Podcasts.
I am literally sitting here and thinking What the hell can I do with the rest of my life to help?
I am now 30 years old, more or less uneducated in Mathematics, and I am Considering dropping everything, quitting my job and finding a way to start studying and working on Physics, for Real.
Because If Eric is correct, the fall of Physics might be one of the biggest tragedies of our time. And if anyone had told me this shit when I was in my teens, there is a very good chance I would have atleast tried to find a way to contribute in the Search for Progress in Physics.
This whole thing seems fucking insane to me.
Ir is possible to make significant contributions towards a better future in other fields... I am a financial economist. I left the mainstream of the field behind because they gave 12 reasons why we can't do anything.
Then I read the heterodox alternative. Now I work on the development of realistic and practical ways to think about investing in a better future. Complete with the conceptual equipment -- fresh theories -- to point the way out of our collective straight jacket.
At age 68, I feel that I only now am coming to understand economics. It is very exciting.
But it depends who your economics teachers are. So choose your mentors well. Not all of them will be worth a darn.
Best of luck,

Try to get in touch with Billy Carson.
Everything happens for a reason, including the forgetting of the obvious. There is an emerging recognition of the need for common sense. I also believe that it is a reconnection to our true nature as humans and with the Life of this Planet that will be essential to the paradigm shift we will need to approach interplanetary travel in a functional manner.
I write on Quora about the subjects of Math, Physics, and Eric's Geometric Unity. My latest offers a link to Feynman's thoughts on pattern recognition as central to science. It's a segue into my own thoughts which mirror Eric's in many important ways. Eric is fascinated by generations of 16 and I by 31. Their product is 496 and equal to four generations of Time's Arrow, each branching off at right angles to its parent and coming full circle in one wave cycle within four generations. What is the scientific explanation for the mystery and wonder of science? I answer this question at Quora and I invite you to explore my and Eric's thoughts about what is most lacking in our understanding of space and time.
I think we are experiencing leadership of a kind we aren’t used to
I still get a little kick out of it whenever I hear the phrase “say more”, it is such a perfect short blip that says so much. It shows respect, it shows interest in what someone is saying, it says you are tracking and listening and would like to know more and you trust that if they keep speaking you will learn more about what they are saying. And the best part is that it usually amounts to one person foregoing “their natural turn to speak” and giving it to the other person, which is certainly much more rare than it is common.
One of the finest podcast episodes out there. Thank you.
