Eric Weinstein is one of those rare people with whom I disagree a lot but to whom I can actually listen without a vein popping out of my temple and my teeth starting to grind. I guess I just appreciate his cerebral conversational style that lets you engage with the ideas.
- soheil 8y agoWhat parts do you disagree with him on? He is pretty rational, the way he constructs his arguments from from fundamentals leaves really not much up to personal preference or debate.
- brianpgordon 8y agoMainly that he's a hardcore capitalist to the bone, while I tend more toward favoring a mixed economy and social democracy with an ultimate post-singularity endgame of true socialism. There are some other minor things that he talks about that don't really resonate with me, like conspiracy theories that he propounds under the cover of "emergent behavior," and concerns about AGI which I don't share.
