Now I have to read more of Weinstein's writings Start with the one on how currencies and stocks behave like elementary particles in gauge fields. I stopped there, it was not just bad thinking, but torturous and clumsy twisting of physics bordering on crackpottery, just to jump on the bandwagon while the mainstream economics suffered acute physics envy. Now that mainstream narrative has changed he suddenly discovers philosophical issues and himself an inner philosopher. I find it disgraceful that as per the linked bio "He delivered the Special Simonyi Lectures at Oxford University in 2013 putting forth a theory he termed “Geometric Unity” to unify the twin geometries (Riemannian and Ehresmannian) thought to ground the two most fundamental physical theories". These are outreach lecutres to lay public. To my knowledge "twin geometries" aren't "thought to ground" anything by anyone else than Eric Weinstein so that's misleading at best. Especially that he apparently didn't bother to write up what he means, even clumsily, much less to publish. In fact he didn't publish anything in a physics venue ever at all. MathSciNet indexing math journals also returns zilch.
