Actually I agree with your sentiment. Yet, I would say Eric and the IDW are not really helping people living in slums or are piled up in prisons. They are more in the intellectual celebrity camp, so I feel that podcast is really highlightin

Sorry, don't agree with you on the brain power part. Can't see what they achieved or did in their perspective fields that's so great. I feel they are overselling themselves ... Compared also to other intellectuals I don'

The video is about BLM ... Lawful protest? When did lawful protests change anything? MLK or Gandhi? Their protests were not lawful and were also very violent (the violence coming mostly from one side). There were also riots and pundits on

I’m German, some of my ancestors were In the Nazi party, some resisted. Comparing BLM to the Kristallnacht is stupid and dangerous, from a Jew or from anybody else. He is insinuating with that comparison that 1. BLM is just some kind of pre

They discuss later Eric Weinstein’s claims towards Carol Greider. they also link to the uberfeminist. although I don’t like the tone, the analysis and take away seems sound. Don’t care if somebody is awful or not, but care about if somebody

You don’t think comparing the breaking of some glass by BLM protesters to the Kristallnacht is stupid? Dangerous I added because he has a following and I think if somebody believes him that Kristallnacht is happening right now, they might d

Yes, I can understand how people can find the title offensive. Yet, honestly I’m German and feel just fine and not offended at all. The podcast itself is quite informative ...

Not sure ... I find it interesting how our brains get hacked by social media and see it as a topic worth discussing here (with those examples).
