Weinstein masterfully frames his lack of academic consensus as a grand conspiracy rather than a failure of his own theories. It is a compelling performance of intellectual martyrdom that substitutes institutional grievance for verifiable scientific proof.

He's Completely INSANEAdded:
I agreed I agreed to not do this and and with these missing scientists, I've changed my mind.
I'm not going to deal with these people anymore. And whatever is going on with science and the suppression of different ideas um is terrifying.
>> Genuine question. How do these people go around themselves believing that every facet of their existence is being humiliated and suppressed by a secret shadowy cabal? Wouldn't this just be exhausting to live like this?
You consider it exhausting, but for some of these people it's empowering, right?
because you solved everything. Nobody around you has realized it. So, there's two options there. Either you're wrong, which depending upon how much of your life you've dedicated to a thing is is catastrophic. That is the most self-destructive thing that could ever be is admitting you're wrong about something you've st so much of your life on. Or there's some secret shadowy cabal that's trying to keep you down. And with as complicated as society is these days, you can find evidence of whatever the [ __ ] you want anywhere if if you if you want to be irrational about how you find it.
>> All right. What is this? Somebody said this got posted. Three-hour talk with Eric Weinstein.
>> Check it out.
>> The Joe Rogan Experience.
>> TRAIN BY DAY. JOE ROGAN PODCAST BY NIGHT. ALL DAY.
Seen the clips of Chud distance from Justice and criticizing him from this morning stream. Nope. But link it.
>> Um I was like there's only one way to do this. I've just not drank for a while.
So I took like eight months off and then I had like a margarita dinner once. So I was like I missed this. And then had a glass of wine here or there.
>> I was wondering how that was going to hold up.
>> Yeah. Yeah. But but you're not c I know that you're not captured by it.
>> No. No.
>> Neither am I. But our religious observance requires it.
>> This guy's an alcohol like 1 million%.
What the [ __ ] Sorry. Just kidding. But like, dude, I hate everything right now.
Addiction, that's a disease for [ __ ] losers. And you obviously have yours under control. So, you're not even It's not even like a real thing, right? We're way too cool for weak mind [ __ ] like that. Addicted.
Really? Me?
>> No. No.
>> Neither am I. But our religious observance requires it.
>> You require abstinence or >> drinking? No, we drink. What?
>> Wait, it is Weinstein. That's a Jew name, right? What do Jews drink for? I know Catholics, we have to drink for our communion stuff.
What do the um What do these guys have to drink for? Like, do they have to have to drink? Like, we have to drink.
>> When do you have to drink?
>> Shabbat. Every come any Friday.
>> Every [ __ ] weekend.
Okay. Whatever he's saying, I know it's [ __ ] wrong. So, okay. Whatever.
How much do you drink one Shabbat?
>> I probably have two and a half glasses of wine.
>> Is there >> two and a half glasses? What does that mean?
>> There like a number that you're supposed to hit to be what?
>> Well, that's porum.
>> What is >> We should get into porum. We're getting into it. Do we need glasses? You want to have a drink?
>> Uh, usually I you you and I tend to go >> these these guys both definitely don't have issues, right, with drinking >> for a while. So, we usually do that at the end. Well, let's let's get some ice and some GL. Are we rolling already?
>> I've been rolling. Yeah.
>> Okay. Let's get some Tell Jeff to get us some ice and some glass. And a bottle of didn't say anything.
>> Um, Buffalo Trace.
>> You want to wait till I get back to start cuz we either haven't started or we started.
>> We started. [ __ ] it.
>> We started. Let's just roll. We'll get Jeff to do it. What's that?
>> But I don't have headphones.
>> We rolling still. Are we doing headphone?
>> We can headphones. No headphones. I don't give a [ __ ] We We mix it up. You know what? Are you more conf work on their hair real good? Like especially ladies and they get it all nice and they have to [ __ ] smush it with this thing.
>> Okay. If you ever have that kind of consideration for me, I'm going to be very disappointed. I thought we were closer.
>> Some people pretty dark grew out like my >> You did >> what? Shaved it.
>> Yeah, shaved it when everyone who wasn't gray and it's just normal cuz it's very clear if I shave it now.
>> I think you can avoid gray hair with proper supplementation. At least that is the the thought today that with enough zinc and copper and >> zinc and copper. Are we making alloy and ruinscape? Wait, can you avoid your hair gray? I know there's the finest minastro all the minoxa whatever [ __ ] for your hair falling out. Is there stuff to make your hair not gray anymore? And that somehow know that that's involved in the diet. I don't know. I'm talking out of my ass here. I don't know that much about um what causes your hair to go gray.
>> This is Austin T other than >> I thought he said get the wine out initially, but okay. Are we okay here?
Hello. What?
>> This is Buffalo Trace. Older than America.
>> Really?
>> Yeah. This is a a distillery from 1773, I believe they started.
>> Them apples, huh?
>> It's like that Chinese sounding beer, yunling or something. Excuse me for that. Buffalo Trace is like you by Is there their beard really old? Beard really old.
>> Um you have a old bearding >> is it old as [ __ ] >> Jamie knows everything. You know people >> 1829.
>> You see people say I have this AI I'm using cloud using uh chatbt.
>> I use Jamie Jamie. Right for sure. He's way better than AI because he's kind of psychic. You're a little psychic, right?
A little bit.
>> Well, I mean I've listened to you talk a lot.
>> My my theory is is that he also looks ahead. He knows sort of where you're likely to head. So he's got it >> ready%. He knows how my goofy [ __ ] brain works.
>> Yeah. What? What energy >> leaking in from another dimension? Is that Look at that face. Look at that.
>> Go on.
>> He gave a little side eye. Well, let's see what he says. James, see if you can find that, please. I think he said it was gravity.
>> What is wrong with this? They're going to talk for a long time. What else are you supposed to do but drink? I can't tell this a serious thing or not, but I feel like if a guy Anytime a person can tell me how long they've not drank for, I would assume that we probably just shouldn't drink. If somebody's like, "Oh, yeah. I haven't had a drink in eight months." I'm like, "Cool. Let's get some sodas or something." When you start to keep track of your non-drinking periods and then you go from that to let's have some shots for this podcast tonight. I'm like, "Okay, bro."
>> And from different colonies and put them together as a kid just to see what happens.
>> Did I? No, I never did that.
>> I did that.
>> Oh, why? Just watch him fight. Oh, you [ __ ] psycho.
>> Yeah, a little bit.
>> No, I never did any of that.
>> You were saying about me, too?
>> Yeah, that I I just I didn't even read it. I just saw it and went, "Oh, Jesus.
I got to talk to Eric about this.
I had to stop drinking when I started Adderall. Why? You just have to drink more, like twice as much, and then you're good. And then sometimes you drink too much, it kind of [ __ ] your aderal up. So, you just have to 2x your Add a kind of like I call it the stepladder process. It's just dark matter isn't matter at all. It's gravity leaking in from a parallel dimension.
And this guy won't do mushrooms. Isn't that wild?
>> Uh, what do you think about that?
>> You remember when I was here and I said, "Get me in here with me."
>> Yeah. What What is it? What is it about?
Well, clearly he's a brilliant guy. He he is and was a brilliant guy. He's decided to do something else. And to be entirely honest, >> I'm so glad I studied music. I get triggered enough listening to people talk politics. Quantum mechanics is like easily the most trespassed zone of [ __ ] anything. As soon as people start talking about [ __ ] entangled particles transfer information faster than light. Gravity leaking in from another dimension. The many worlds hypothesis means that every time I decide not to jerk off, I'm spawning another dimension where I do masturbate.
Did you know that you have to actually blink your eyes and look at an electron to change how it acts because it needs an observer and by observing human being? It's like every [ __ ] stupid [ __ ] trope thing is like oh my god.
But I don't know [ __ ] all about any of it so I don't give a [ __ ] >> I don't love going after other named people in general. My shtick is that I go hard after institutions.
>> I'm a huge institutional supporter and their worst nightmare in the current world.
>> So brave. Oh my god.
>> Individuals I don't like beefing with. I I watch all of the energy the beauty of life lost to beefing with people. Metric is doing a tremendous amount of damage to theoretical physics. How so? Um theoretical physics is in my estimation the most beautiful, most powerful, most economically potent thing you can do with your life. And we are the best.
United States is in my opinion the greatest nation in the history of the earth for theoretical physics because we are cowboys. We are irreverent. We are the we are the people who invented the atomic and hydrogen bombs, the semiconductor.
uh this is what we do and we've lost the ability to do it at a level that I cannot believe happened during my watch my lifetime. So from 1984 to the present, those 42 years have been the greatest intellectual implosion I think that I know of where people just got dumber.
>> And what do you think is a cause? I'm going to distrate this uh humidity >> quantum grip.
>> Like imagine I don't even know because I don't think I don't know anything in music that that's like as complicated as how much you would have to learn to understand like quantum mechanic [ __ ] I don't know like arguing like just inonation versus eventempered music and how it's destroying I I don't know like just imagine like a person who is literally like not even the not even like the math classes to begin to take the math classes to understand what you're talking about but it's like what's the big problem with physics?
Well, I'm going to tell you about the it's just like Jesus Christ >> think that I know of where people just got dumber >> and what do you think is a cause I'm going to this uh humidity >> quantum gravity >> quantum gravity did >> 1984 there was a result And it's called the Green Schwarz Anomaly Cancellation. And the guy that I've talked to you about before in UFO context, the guy who is Lewis Whitten's son, Lewis Whitten, happy happy birthday, turned 105, um was the Andy Gravity guy from the 50s. His son, Edward Whitten, decided that the 1984 Green Schwarz anomaly cancellation meant that we should all the smartest people should pile into one narrow subsp specialty and that that was the future.
And because it was so much >> Oh, no.
It hurts. I know. I now I understand.
There's way more harmony here than I thought. Do you know who this talking point comes from or is uh repeated a lot by? Yeah, you got it. That Sabine person who who has this theory that like did you know that in 1980 whatever the [ __ ] we had all these brilliant physicists and then all of them decided to waste away their entire [ __ ] lives obsessing over string theory and then physics stopped.
>> Smarter than all of us. People listened and I didn't. And Mokaku is part of his wave. almost all of the people that you've traditionally had on in physics have some connection to this. So you've had on I don't know probably Sean Carroll uh Neil Degrass Tyson Brian Green nobody wanted to say what was happening which is that we were we were being unraveled and destroyed. Our ability to be the world's greatest theoretical physicist was being eroded yearbyear for 42 years >> and specifically the pursuit of string theory.
>> It's not string theory itself that's the problem. String theory is harmless. It's just a bunch of equations, a bunch of ideas and it's beautiful mathematics in many places. So um that's not an issue.
The issue is the exclusion of everything else. I think Sabine actually got it from Eric. That might be I just know that both of them I guess now are do this.
>> This goes into the name Tojet or the only game in town to Og T. And it's this idea that only we the enlightened >> can do theoretical physics and the rest of you are just doing finger exercises.
You're too stupid to know it.
>> So specifically like what is >> what what's isolationist about >> Oh my god. I just [ __ ] my that thumbnail.
>> This is going to be awkward. Okay.
>> Why do they all do this? They can't.
Some of these people start off okay and they just can't. It's that it's the funnel, bro. They're captured by the funnel. Do you know how hard it is to stay out of the funnel? It's real hard, guys. The funnel is everything. There is only the funnel. Okay. The funnel is not a ladder. It is a starting and stopping point for 99% of online careers. this thumbnail. Physicists are afraid of Eric Weinstein and they should be with Shan Carol listed here. If I recall, she's been considered somewhat of a quack for years now. Yeah. But it feels like what happens is like somebody has like a valid criticism, I guess, of the system and then some people in the system kind of are like, well, you know, I disagree, whatever. But there's this whole [ __ ] crowd of people on the outside like, yeah, [ __ ] yeah, somebody who's finally willing to say what he said. and the person for like the first time in their lives is getting like all this like support and love and outreach from this other community and then they just slowly start to cater more and more and more and more. They might get more institutional push back as a result of that and then they just become [ __ ] audience captured. They cross the the event horizon. They would have to travel at speeds faster than light to escape the bottomless [ __ ] pit of audience slot capture. And they cannot do it. It is impossible to cross it. They can't do it. They just It's impossible. They're gone forever. Maybe they'll be spit back out in a trillion trillion years as what is it? Hawking radiation. I don't know.
As Tar saving his daughter, not the guy, but Tars.
>> Like what is it about this one particular theory that all this thought has been pushed into that?
>> Take some comfort in that every academic just laughs and ignores these people. I know it has effects, but it's mostly the general populace. That's great, but like RFK Jr. is like the head of our HHS, so I mean Who's laughing, bro? What do you want me to say >> about string theory? Like, what is it about this one particular theory that all this thought has been pushed into that?
>> The claim is that there's this thing called UV complete physics and there's no way that we can have a discussion about that directly. If I could ask Jamie, could I impose upon you to call up on YouTube Wheel of Fortune and then use I've got a good feeling about this.
I can explain it to you.
>> Wheel of Fortune. I've got a good feeling about this.
>> I've got a good feeling about this.
Okay. Is that an episode of Wheel of Fortune?
>> It'll be over brief. Sime is still kind of um wandering back and forth from being a contrarian social institution for no reason. But Brett is a [ __ ] Brett is crazy, bro.
This guy believes he solved the universe of everything and he knows it because he remembered some facts about a lost research paper and then he published a new paper that is his theory of everything. But he won't publish it in a real journal, but he will publish it online and then he will um or not Brett, Eric, did I say Brett? I don't remember.
Um but then he will um two people went over it but he didn't like the fact that one of them was anonymous so he didn't respond to them. It's just like I like I I don't know how to it's a it's crazy.
And I think some of this was even written by AI. I think it says it at the the author is not a physicist and is no longer an active academician academician I don't know but is an entertainer and host of the portal podcast. This work of entertainment is a draft of work in progress which is the property of the author and thus may not be built upon, renamed or profited from without express permission of the author. Why the [ __ ] would you even make a science anything like that? What? Go to page 41. You know what would be a real adventure is going over the physics to understand this paper so that we can understand um what's the what's the stupid giant formula called? There's a thing that encompasses like the entire standard model of physics and it's just to calculate the it's just to calculate like momentum changes or something. What is it called? Is it like a a lrangian?
No, there's a name for this. Is it lrangian? It just like encompasses the everything we know about the standard model and I think it just explains movement or something, right? The standard model lrangian. We should take enough we should learn enough physics online until we can understand all of it. That's what we should do. And then we could go through and we could debunk his paper. That's we're not doing that ever. There is most likely a Byzantine taxonomy of such objects along the lines of what Reese Harvey detailed for the Clifford algebbras in his book on spurs and calibrations. The author is no longer in a position to go chasing after the complete picture and simply detail some of the available tools for customizing such operators. Wow. King. I don't know. Anytime somebody tells you they've solved they have like a theory of everything, there's always like it's not good. I'm at page 42. What did I say? What do we go to >> briefly? It's very very quick. It's about a minute and a half or something.
And the key point is it's a tight analogy for the problem faced in physics that anyone can understand. So I don't people think I try to make things complicated. I really try to make them understandable. But what I do is I talk about things. I don't know that you've ever had anyone talk about UV completeness on the Joe Rogan.
>> I don't believe so.
>> Yeah. Is this it? Okay. Put your headphones on.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, you're not going to be able unless you have headphones on.
>> I know it like the back of my hand.
>> Wheel of Fortune.
>> Ah, we need a phrase this time. That's category for this puzzle. And it is applied by the way.
>> Our standard Langian model. Just if you just know this and you can explain every part of it, you know, you understand the standard model of physics. Okay? You can communicate with aliens.
Gravity.
>> And what do we get here? 500 R.
>> Well, you'd think there'd be an R in there somewhere, would you?
>> L.
>> Uh, one L.
What's that?
>> Can I solve?
>> Okay. It >> is a prize puzzle.
>> Yeah.
>> I've got a good feeling ABOUT THIS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> THAT'S INSANE.
>> That's him. He's like, "That's going to be me one day in a conference of physicists where they realize that I've done this.
>> He's a wizard. That lady, >> you've never debunked Mr. Girl's black hole theory. Stop slandering him. Mr. girl is busy making arguments for why he should be able to >> student confronts >> have full access to the curriculum for children in schools in order for people in a community to be able to go over okay >> [ __ ] I'm not going to be able to find this guy right here by the way >> is the one that started the theory that I am trying to hunt down mentally ill girls use my clouded money to have sex with them bring them onto stream and then engage in a sedo masochistic sexual dance with them where I make them fight other women or turn my community on them to destroy them to remove them from my life while getting intense sexual pleasure out of it the entire time. That theory that people like Connor believe in started with him by the way. Anyway, >> everyone, uh my name is Max Carson. I'm a local artist and writer. Uh I do not have any kids in the school district, but I am a district resident. Um about a month a about a month ago I decided to write an essay critiquing the health curriculum.
Uh there is a law RS uh 336465 that says the school district shall give parents, guardians, and district residents an opportunity to examine the instructional materials to be used in any class. Why does Connor talk about your sex life so much? Um, for Connor, it might be that there's a conservative thing. The reality, without digging too far into it, is that like sex is for whatever you want to say, sex is like kind of an icky thing that nobody really wants to talk about and it's kind of weird or whatever. So, it's very easy to like throw it at somebody as like a personal attack, especially depending on the community you're in. Like, if it came out that like Dream had sex with a girl, that would be like a scandal just cuz it's like like oh my god. Like, it would just be a thing. Even without like any weird accusations, it's just like an easy thing to attack people on. So, I mean, what are you going to do? Of course, assembly or school sponsored activity.
Uh, now >> what happened to his hair? Well, I'm guessing he shaved it. No, >> is broad. Of course, this could mean you just look at the book, could mean you flip through the book, you actually get to read the book, or you get to take detailed notes and write an analysis of the book, which of course the last one is the one I would like to do. um if it's possible. I was permitted uh two 2hour sessions with the Great Body Shop and Live Well, which laid out you're talking about like a stack of pages.
>> Does Max have schizophrenia? I feel like I overuse schizophrenia, but I do think he has some kind of psychotic disorder.
Yeah, cuz or at least in my limited experience of dealing with people, people who feel like they've solved everything like solved the universe and everything um are usually on this like some kind of paranoia or delusion. I don't want to be paranoid, but some kind of delusion or grandeur or whatever. Um like this guy, there's an open- source database where you can publish your theories or whatever. Is it APS? [ __ ] I don't remember what it is, but he he has like he's got like 10 or 20 papers that he uses with some AI assistants. I don't know how much. No, it's not this. [ __ ] I don't remember the website, but I think he he has a theory about how we live. Like he thinks that the entire universe is actually just like a part of a black hole or something like a twodimensional threedimensional projection, which there's some theory called the holographic universe theory.
I think they're kind of But yeah, I I don't think he's I don't think he's Well, oh, did I spell his last name wrong? It's with a K, not a C. Oh, yeah.
His preprints gravitational time dilation reduces to spatial scaling. And then he's got like papers that he's published or preprints. I guess you would say the author used AI language models to help draft derivations, clarify argument structure, and Polish wording. Why the [ __ ] do you want Polish wording? But yeah, he's got like these things that he has. Yeah, I think something is probably not right, but what do you want me to say? What do you want me to say? Anyway, >> is what I want to do with my life. That is what great physics looks like. It's totally irresponsible. And you know, Pat Sjack is like trying to ask her like, "How'd you do that?" And she says, "Wow, I had a good feeling about this." You know, and the funny part about it is you can figure it out. The if you if you go back >> also Eric Weinstein here, this is how all engineers view all physicists and it's why all engineers hate all physics.
I'm just kidding.
>> Can you show the board right there?
Yeah. So clearly that apostrophe is a huge clue, right? So the idea is that if you read that property, is it isle? Is it iive? Right? And then there's no r.
Um so think about all of those blank squares as orders of magnitude that you are away from the energies that would allow you to do experiments that would explain physics. And think about the apostrophe the L and that pattern >> as well as the fact that there's no R as the standard model of physics. So right now what you have is a debate about whether or not we should buy more and more letters with higher and higher energy or like should we build bigger accelerators and spend more treasure trying to collide particles or should we just Caitlyn our way out of this. So Caitlyn Burke is my model of what I think we're supposed to be doing. And >> so an exceptional mind with an ability to see or propose things that other people aren't seeing. How? I guarantee you that if we studied this, if we spent a month with this world's smartest people on this puzzle, we'd learn that there are certain things >> that were present that, you know, the frequency of certain the fact that there's a single letter there that almost certainly is I or A. She took a tiny number of clues.
>> Wow.
>> But here's the really important thing.
Okay, >> Jamie, can we show the the the filledin puzzle?
>> So, >> what was that noise? And did anybody hear that in the background?
>> The the filledin puzzle.
>> I'm sorry. I don't even know if you can hear it. So you'll notice that the word this could be changed to that because the only letter that's been excluded is an R.
>> So that is what the issue of unique UV completion is. In other words, a unique UV completion would say there's only one phrase that fits there. She guessed. She couldn't have known it isn't I've got a good feeling about that or I've got a nice feeling about this or that. So it's actually not >> um or I'll get a good feeling about this. But all of those were much less probable because >> they're just not as natural. Okay. So this is a combination of science, guesswork, and raw courage. Like the most marvelous thing about that exchange is she says, "Can I solve?" And there's like he's not even sure he's hearing her properly.
>> Epic.
>> And then finally, he says, "Okay, that's that's gatekeeping. Can I put this article on the archive? Can I give a seminar in your department?"
>> I want to solve the puzzle. And a lot of what we're arguing about is that the string theorists are the only ones who have the right to try to solve the puzzle at the moment. So imagine that somehow there's a rule that only Rick, poor Rick, who guesses that there's an R, imagine that he's the only one allowed to solve the puzzle. when she asks, "May I solve the puzzle?" No, no, you can't. That's pseudocience. You're Charlotte. That's, you know, that is uh crank physics.
>> So, that's what the problem that we're facing is is that we've got one group that got control of the gatekeeping who is very good at mathematics, extremely bad at physics, and they've redefined what physics is and what good science is where they're the only ones who are guessing the puzzle. They can't guess the puzzle. And everyone else, >> I'm too [ __ ] to understand. So, he is making a um I can't watch Connor talk to Queen right now. Okay. Some people are pointing me. We might go back to that if he's talking more about me. Um, but Eric Weinstein believes that he has solved all of physics based on some notes that he lost on a computer 30 years ago. I'm not I'm not exaggerating about that. I'm not joking about that. I might be purposely, but it's more or less this that that theory that PDF that I read is like 30 years or more old. Um, he genuinely believes that he's solved all of physics. Um, despite the fact that he doesn't answer uh any unsolved questions with any novel theories, despite the fact that he doesn't present anything novel for anybody else to test or build off of, like nothing is there's nothing there's no meat to anything that he's done. But he believes that he solved it. But he believes that the only reason why people haven't taken geometric unity as seriously as they should be, which is what he calls his theory, is because all of physics is mega cucked by string theory. And the big string theory has [ __ ] blocked him from being taken seriously because big string theory is the only thing that is allowed to answer the questions of you know fundamental theoretical physics or whatever and that's his thing his sorry [ __ ] I got to find this author notes many academmesians find this unprofessional and therefore irritating this is quite literally unprofessional as the author is not employed within the profession has not worked professionally on such material since the fall of 19.
Oh, wait. Hold on. Let me see. Oh, notes in the present draft document. There is something about the nature of latex that is likely to confuse the professional reader. I think latex is like a notation you use for math things. Basically, um, it is as if a typeset document constitutes agreement to participate in some academic social contract. No such consent is intended by this. The author functions totally, it's pronounced latte. I don't give a [ __ ] Latex.
The author functions totally divorced from the professional research context which is oddly automatically inferred from types set mathematics by nearly every capable reader perhaps due to the rarity of such research programs.
Without wishing to dwell on the unduly, there is no way around the fact that the author has been working in near total isolation from the community for over 25 years. That's a little weird. Does not know the current state of the literature. Okay, also weird. And has few if any colleagues to regularly consult. He solved it all on his own. As such, this document is an attempt to begin recovering a rather more complete theory which at this point only partially remembered and stitched together from old computer files, notebooks, recordings, and the like dating back as far as 1983 to 1984 when the author began the present line of investigation. The author here is Eric W. This is the first time the author has attempted to assemble the major components of the story and has discovered in the process how much variation there has been across matters of notation, convention, and methodology. Every effort has been made to standardize notation, but what you are reading is stitched together from entirely heterog uh heterog heterogeneous sorry heterogeneous or heterogeneous heterogeneous sources and inaccuracies and discrepancies are regularly encountered as well as missing components when old work is located. The author notes many academians find this unprofessional and therefore irritating.
This is quite literally unprofessional as the author is not employed within the profession as not work professionally as such. Okay. But anyway, that's your that's his theory of everything.
>> Is like here's a crazy story from yesterday. I wasn't allowed to say that I gave a talk in the physics department even though any normal person would say that that happened.
>> Genuine question. How do these people go around themselves believing that every facet of their existence is being humiliated and suppressed by a secret shadowy cabal? Wouldn't this just be exhausting to live like this?
You consider it exhausting, but for some of these people it's empowering, right?
Because you solved everything. Nobody around you has realized it. So, there's two options there. Either you're wrong, which depending upon how much of your life you've dedicated to a thing is is catastrophic. That is the most self-destructive thing that could ever be is admitting you're wrong about something you've st so much of your life on. Or there's some secret shadowy cabal that's trying to keep you down. And with as complicated as society is these days, you can find evidence of whatever the [ __ ] you want anywhere if you're if you if you want to be irrational about how you find it. I wasn't allowed to say that I gave a talk in the physics department, even though any normal person would say that that happened. And I wasn't allowed to do that when I visited a uh physics institution in Canada. I wasn't allowed to say that I was visiting for a week. Nor was I allowed to say that I gave a seminar that lasted 9 hours.
>> Well, you just did.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh god. Are you a lawb breaker?
>> I'm breaking the rules now because I've now I've had it. I agreed. I agreed to not do this. And and with these missing scientists, I've changed my mind.
I'm not going to deal with these people anymore. and whatever is going on with science and the suppression of different ideas um is terrifying. Right now we have a situation. I you know I gave a talk at the University of Chicago. There's no record of it.
>> Who's asking you to do these talks and who's asking you to not give a record?
You don't have to name names.
>> Yeah. Particular people in general. The funny part is that the people who ask me to give talks in the physics departments are the most courageous person in each department. So the problem is that the person that I you end up feeling resentful towards how dare you tell me that I can't give this talk in this department officially is the person who's arranging for your stay >> and is arranging for the room and they are under the most pressure from the institution. So the institution is forcing them to say you you're allowed to do give the talk but you're not allowed to talk about it on social media. You're not allowed to advertise that you're doing it. You're not allowed to say that you're doing it.
>> So in this case in the case of of Texas physics department I was allowed to say I'm speaking in the carch group seminar.
It's like a condom to make sure that the physics department doesn't get pregnant.
>> Well isn't that really bizarre because University of Austin Texas was supposed to be a university that fixed all the [ __ ] that was wrong with other universities.
>> Much much more insane than that. This was the >> Is he referring to something there? I don't even know what that means but maybe he is. I don't know. the home of Steven Weinberg who moved from Harvard to Texas because the money the oil money was used to buy brains. So basically Texas raided Harvard for people like John Tate math department Steven Weinberg who was the probably the greatest living >> it's the Barry Weiss uni really >> uh theorist and that was the continuation of the Bryce Dit group from North Carolina Chapel Hill that was set up to do anti-gravity by Agnu Bainson.
So you're right next to an amazing physics department >> with a crazy history um that in fact touched anti-gravity. This is one of the one of the tiny number of places that has a a real legacy in that department.
And I I was speaking there on gravity, on dark energy. And you look, I've been lying my whole life about my relationship with the physics world because of this pressure. They can't listen to me if I say I'm a physicist.
So I say I'm an entertainer.
Yeah. But people say, well, why would you do that? Why would you say that you're an entertainer when you obviously are conversant in all this stuff? And the answer is I don't want to die. I don't want to lose my ability to enter a physics department. So I I take on this completely wrong persona. And you know, I have the emails. You're not giving a talk. You're having conversations in room 5308. It literally says you're not giving a talk. I could read what it is that they write to me. So, but what what is the benefit of this formal declaration or this formal? There are so many assassins out there, bro. We've got physics assassins now. Big physics is trying to assassinate people. Big string theory has hired assassins.
>> Designation of the way you're talking.
>> So, when I was at a physics institute in Canada, I I was told, "We're worried that you're going to use it to legitimize yourself." It's like I'm going to do that. Of course I'm going to. I have a PhD from Harvard, you stupid. I I mean like >> in math, not in physics.
>> You guys imagine I'm I'm a podcast guest.
>> This episode is brought to you by Squarespace. Once you've got a great name for your business, you need they're acting from the that you're going to use it to legitimize yourself and your ideas is a really crazy way to phrase it because like you're they're acting from the assumption that you're not legitimate.
>> So that's they're you remember when like I think Reagan thought I forget who it was. Reagan thought they were recallable missiles.
>> Well, you can turn them around, right?
>> Sorry, we changed our mind. So >> like a base jumper is also a suicide jumper >> on second half.
>> Halfway in he's like [ __ ] this. No I I like >> a lot of these people who survive jumping off the gold gate bridge they learn like I I love life. Um >> yes yes most of them >> they're reborn. Um so what I would say is >> the problem is that I am I this is not a boast as you know I don't usually put my credential first. I'm probably the most blue chip defector from the institutions mutant mutineer let's put call it that.
Um I have a I have essentially perfect credentials and that's the problem. So it's not a question of you're going to legitimize.
I already legitimized myself by Harvard PhD, MIT postoc, NSF post-docal fellow, ONR, top in the country, Sloan Foundation grantee. I've been in math, physics, economics departments. I'm so bulletproof.
>> So that's the problem.
>> That's the problem.
>> That's the problem. It's not that you're a k you didn't understand.
>> No, I do understand. I just don't understand why they want to do that to you. That's what's bizarre.
>> Narrative.
>> Okay.
>> I am I am the greatest danger to the narrative.
>> I'm I'm the most followed mathematician in the United States. Maybe the world conifer fry maybe above it. that danger to the narrative is the problem. Well, specifically for people who don't know what we're talking about, what is to make this a standal?
>> It's just from a personal level, and I don't take it personally, but like being banned from so many places and then like having so many weird things, you know, done to me and everything. It's so funny to listen to these [ __ ] losers that are welcomed with open arms and the entire slopcast world like [ __ ] probably gets personal [ __ ] from one of Trump's adult children. Like, it's probably, you know, has access to all these people, YouTube, whatever the [ __ ] else, and it's like, I'm the most haunted man ever. I'm a danger. Nobody wants to platform me as I go on my 15th Joe Rogan episode. Like, bro, who's No one cares about you. No one's going after you. You're just a random [ __ ] cook. Like, that's it.
>> Alone show the people that not aware of your work. What is it about you and your ideas that they are so hesitant >> like, not to be a super institution cuck, but if you want to shake things up, go publish something. Go rock some journal's world, dude. to platform or legitimize or why you're such a danger.
>> Okay, so in 2001 I said mortgage back securities were a great danger to the world and one of the first published papers on the danger of illquid.
>> Oh, he's a [ __ ] finance genius as well. Holy [ __ ] This guy [ __ ] predicted everything.
>> The pricing of illquid securities. Uh I went on Chris Williamson's show and he asked me who's going to win, Biden or Trump. I said, you don't even know whether Biden's going to make it to November. I said that that people representatives of the Democrat party reached out to me and said, "Stop talking about Biden's dementia. You need your affirmation that you're seeing something real. We put in three people uh as a committee to replace the president. And I I said like I'm supposed to feel good about that. Uh >> what >> um so I did what they told you. They put in three people.
>> They put in a committee of three people and if you knew who those people were, you'd be pleased as punched. So shut up.
>> That's what they said.
>> Yeah. Correct.
>> You would be really happy. So shut up.
>> Yeah. They didn't even tell you who the people were.
>> I think that they did and I've conveniently forgot them. One of them might have been the chief of staff.
>> Wow. So it's like but I but I say this right and I'm not trying to >> I keep lots of secrets that people ask me to keep that I should keep things having to do with national security for example but these people are incompetent >> and they're a danger to us and right now the string theory narrative is a complete danger it's not string theory that's a problem it's the it's the only game in town and so you know there was a look people are willing to spend their entire credibility just to make me go away. Could you briefly describe like what what is the so there's not a problem with str strength theory or is string theory not complete or is string theory readed uh has it reaped actual results mathematics >> can you break it down for me broke down string theory >> it's reaped results and string theorists have occasionally um done really great work in a subject called quantum field theory but quantum field theory isn't about the quantum field theory of the world quantum field theory is like calculus it's some thing that's very useful and it grew up in physics but we've now found out that quantum field theory has to do with pure problems in mathematics. They have nothing to do with physics. And what they haven't done is they haven't dealt with the physical world. So if you take physics, why why do we care about physics so much more than really almost any other aspect of the sciences other than biology?
I had to give a talk at the New York Deep Tech Week. Shout out to those guys.
And I Why do we care about physics more than any other big field except for ex or any of the other science except for biology, which is also one of the other largest [ __ ] What does that even mean? I don't know. I don't care. I'm just kidding. It's whatever memes. I put it on the slide as uh three things. There's boom, vroom, and zoom. Easy to remember.
Boom is weapons. Physics will create weapons. Uh you'll dwarf everything else.
>> What do you rank chemistry? The bottom.
Okay. Because without chemistry, we wouldn't have Walter White. And I hate Breaking Bad. I don't know. I just want to hear him say, can you explain what a field is? Joe Rogan >> withological.
He's like a basketball field.
>> Zoom. Vroom is energy. And the story of energy is basically the story of prosperity and control. If you look at wealth and the amount of fossil fuels burned, it's more or less like a one to one correlation as to which nations are rich and poor.
>> Can you? I can't explain anything. No, in quantum anything cuz I don't know [ __ ] all. But I I will hedge with that.
I don't pretend to know everything.
Okay.
>> Isn't it that like there's nothing is like a real thing. [ __ ] I've read a Reddit thing. Everything is just an excitation of a field and that's how the things propagate through spaceime. There it is, bro. Get excited. I just come on you.
>> Capital and zoom is everything else.
It's propulsion. It's computation. It's communication.
>> Do you know [ __ ] like the double slit experiment? Yes. If you get a Prince Albert and then when you go P, it comes out of two holes sometimes.
If you're not careful, it'll act like a wave and go. And those things, if you if you take them together, um, more or less define the economy and the world order.
Physics is the center of what makes us modern humans. And it became too dangerous in the 1950s, even the 40s.
you know, atomic weapons are extremely bad, but they're not hydrogen bombs.
>> Um, somehow in November of 52, everything changed and >> we became we became too dangerous that the community of physicists is the most powerful group of people made into completely >> uh ineffectual humans.
>> And do you think this is by design >> partially?
>> And what was the purpose of it? But by saying that you became that physicists became too dangerous, the ideas became too dangerous. Is the idea that the weapons would become so immense and powerful that they had to do something to stop and curb that?
>> Well, we didn't know how to control it, right? Right. So, in other words, for example, in the in 1940, we set up something called the reference committee, which I'm sure >> Wait, what? Hold on. Quick meme.
>> Is it Well, >> this is 1 minute and 20 seconds.
>> Is it Well, how much would you say the personal conduct issue is related to uh lawsuits and the nukes uh versus any other conduct that you can think of, >> your listeners have never heard of. And the reference committee lived inside of the National Resource Council. Now, why was it important? Because chain reaction physics was so hot once the neutron was found, right? So think about neutrons as bullets. Um they can go right into the middle of an atom because they're they're not positively charged. So they're not going to be repelled by the nucleus and they can bust apart atoms that are b barely being held together.
And that's why you get bullets be getting bullets getting bullets and that's what a chain reaction is. The people who are doing that are not positively charged so they're not going to be repelled by the nucleus and they can bust apart atoms that are b barely being held together and that's why you get bullets be getting bullets be getting bullets and that's what a chain reaction is. The people who were doing that in the 40 in the 30s suddenly found that when they mailed off a paper to a journal if they weren't part of the secret group in Los Alamos their paper got held up and sent back for revisions and there was no money in it. We we secretly set up this thing to shunt real research into the national resource council. I think this was organized by a guy named Brightite B re and that was the beginning of this whole peerreview control mechanism.
>> And this control do you think is this ego based that the people who are the gatekeepers want to remain in the position of >> we all want to survive Joe? I mean, this is a real problem. So, you and I can hate on the institutions all we want from the safety of the JRE, but what are you going to do when it becomes really, really easy for people to commit?
>> People are saying I did Conor with her after she was at one thing for one night. I don't even know if we were ever on a stream together where it was her and Vosch and Emma were all at some TV event. The one thing I like if in your mind this is like she came back. I don't know what to say to you. You're [ __ ] [ __ ] Like Kevl was kind of on a big upshot on the internet and everything and she was getting a ton of attention and it's arguably the reason why I got perma banned from Twitch. Um, that whole like thing between her, if you're saying that her doing one PV event and you're talking about a picture or something is like her coming back, you're [ __ ] [ __ ] >> Like mass murder. If you think about all the really bad math like that the Vegas shooting that never really got sorted out, it's very hard to kill large numbers of people using things like bullets. If you want to really kill a large number of people, you're going to go to biologicals and you're going to go to nuclear. And what happens when that becomes easy? Like maybe it's a lot easier to build these weapons than the way we currently do it.
>> I'm telling you what he's thinking and I'm telling you what I would say to him.
That wasn't directed at you. That's just what I would say to him. you know, >> now we're uh bottlenecked on things like centrifuges. And by the way, who knows what the next innovation in physics is going to bring. So I always say this thing about if you're not tracking everybody at my level, what are you doing as an intelligence service?
>> Is this part of your concern about the missing scientist?
>> Yeah, of course.
>> Yeah. So the missing scientist narrative um for people that aren't aware of it, I think think they're up to 15 now and a lot of people say that some of these connections are baseless and some of them this just 15.
>> No. Okay. So what do you think we're actually up to?
>> I don't know. Probably >> five or six. But I saw someone online did a breakdown of it and essentially they were saying that the odds of this being a coincidence are off the charts that the people that are all involved in very specific types of technological research, different things that are top secret that all of these people either wind up missing.
>> There's a lot of murder in math and physics. First of all, people don't really appreciate that.
>> Jesus Christ, this guy is so dramatic.
>> Um, you know, the uni bomber was a famous PhD mathematician.
>> Oh my god.
>> Uh, he's a big story though. There's there's a lot >> Sure. There was a guy named Caner who broke into David Written House Laboratories in University of Pennsylvania where I was an undergraduate and shot up a seminar. Um there was uh you know this situation in Iowa where a relative of mine got a seat in the physics department um because somebody was killed by one of the graduate students. I think it became a movie like dark matter. So there's an incredible amount of murder. Uh the ballpeen hammer uh killing of was it Carl Doo by >> the Joe Rogan sub too. The Joe Rogan sub I believe is I think this is an anti-fan sub.
So I think how much um I think every post on the Joe Organ sub is like the it's like the Dave Ruben sub I think right where I think they just [ __ ] on him here I think. So that's always going to be the case >> this point. So you've turned a corner on this. Let's talk about that because uh I saw you on Jesse Michael show and you were talking about how just a few years ago you thought that the entire narrative was complete nonsense.
>> Probably five six years ago by now >> and what changed?
>> Well all the other anti-establishment bros decided this was the truth. So now I'm here pushing the same [ __ ] Um there was no way to explain. So Jesse was going on and on about Jesse, you're a smart guy and you you know I often call him the back alley scholar. So he knew a lot of stuff um that was sort of forbidden knowledge. And he wouldn't be quiet about it. So I said, "Okay, I'm going to disabuse you of the idea that you're actually into something." And I realized very quickly at a minimum there is a massive denied program like usually called a special access program. Mhm.
>> one or more. There's no way to synchronize that number of people who've had experiences that are so similar and there's a lot of stuff that I couldn't make sense of. And what attracted me in a certain sense um was I couldn't come up with any explanation. It's so rare. I usually have exactly the opposite problem which is I come up with too many explanations. I can't come up with a single explanation that makes sense of what I now know. And also the fact that the government outreach to me and to Sam Harris and Lex Friedman and you know there was this thing where these guys who checked out um said there's going to be a massive disclosure and we need people to disseminate these things to the public and you have a share of the of the public who listens to you and we need to get you informed so that you can help mediate the disclosure.
>> So what prompted this change in narrative?
>> What's going on behind the the government?
>> Yeah, >> we don't know. We don't know. Look, we don't know what the thing or things is are yet. Um, some of it is so again so low quality that it's embarrassing to be seen with it. So my colleagues who don't want to take this seriously uh use that like okay so you're you're now on the little green men train and I said no I'm on the special access program train.
There is there's for sure special access program or programs that have UFO on the side of them that may or may not have aliens or craft or non-human intelligence in them. It may be that it's decoys. It may be I don't know what it is. There's no way to deny that there's like a giant lump under the carpet. And what what prompted you to change your opinion and and and decide that there is some sort of special access program?
>> When I started coming in contact with totally sober people from reasonable walks of life who would say the craziest things to me and a lot of them checked and they didn't yet know each other.
>> Like what kind of crazy things?
>> Um let me take somebody who's public.
Brandon Fugle, for example, uh was at a dinner where he started talking about being visited by a craft a few feet over the his head that came over the mea and his head of security was catatonic standing in the back of a pickup truck unable to move. And >> Jessica's now reacting to the entire Conor conversation from your perspective. He's such a loser. Yeah, it's got to be the It's the funnel.
Okay, I can't I can Okay, we have one more big meme for the night. A huge reveal. Remember to hit that like and subscribe and don't forget the notification bell so that my videos show up right in your feed.
