Eric Weinstein and Lex Fridman are two of my favorite JRE guests. I always jump to watch their episodes when they come out. Looking forward to watching this episode, especially in light of everything that is going on in the world right now.

ETA: would recommend Eric’s The Portal podcast and Lex’s Artificial Intelligence podcast!

I can’t stand Eric Weinstein. He’s brilliant but his stuffed in locker complex has come through too often as he’s gotten more comfortable with Rogan.

I did find that his last appearance on JRE wasn’t as strong as previous appearances. Curious to see how this one goes. I do enjoy his Twitter feed, and I have found his Portal podcast to be quite interesting. Have you given his podcast a listen?

He’s ivory tower intelligent, that’s for sure.

My problem with him is when he makes dumb assertions he doesn’t walk them back. Has to be the smartest guy in the room.

The Portal is an awesome podcast

You must have loved Eric on Lex’s podcast if you like both

Of course. Actually I found Lex via Eric being on his podcast after becoming an Eric fan from JRE, and then realized that Lex had been on JRE after the fact.

ETA: Lex’s AI podcast is amazing as well

Just watched the first few minutes of it.

Eric said Pelosi should be out of office. It's one thing to say you don't have enough info, it's another to affirmatively say Come to Chinatown.

Also said that it's stupid to think that automatically taking the opposite position of Trump makes you smart.

I don't have to agree with everything the guy says to see value in some other things.

He's a progressive that had the barrel turned on him, but he's still hesitant to abandon progressive

The Portal podcast where Eric interviewed Bret about the compromised lab mice was fascinating. I thought the podcast ended prematurely.

I’m currently in the middle of the Daniel Schmachtenberger interview on The Portal which is quite interesting. I appreciated his interview of James O’Keefe, because he really hammered O’Keefe on subjects O’Keefe wasn’t used to being hammered on and gave him credit where it was due. I think it’s interesting that in his interview of Sam Harris he mentioned that his goal for The Portal wasn’t to be an interview show, but a show for him to introduce new ideas/educate people more deeply about subjects he thought were important. But so far, it seems to be all interviews. And I enjoy his interviewing style, so I hope he continues to do interviews. I do look forward to seeing the subjects he decides to go into, because he seems to be quite well educated on a variety of subjects. His Epstein podcast was pretty insightful.

The Portal Podcast - The Construct: Jeffery Epstein


quote:

Over half a year ago, immediately following the reported death of Jeffrey Epstein, Eric recorded a solo episode that he never released in hopes that its subject matter would be overtaken by investigative journalism. As this has not happened, it is being released with some trepidation in March of 2020 due to the issue of state involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.  

Eric discusses his memories of his single bizarre meeting (circa 2004?) with Jeffrey Epstein in Epstein's 71st St townhouse in Manhattan. While at that meeting, Eric was surprised by Epstein's strange behaviors and came to the conclusion that it was highly unlikely that Epstein was likely to be the money manager he claimed. Instead, Eric came to the conclusion that the person with whom he was sitting was more probably a construction of one or more intelligence agencies, interested alternatively in powerful actors and scientists. This 15 year hypothesis and Epstein's mysterious death lead to Eric's four questions: 

A) Where are the newspaper stories tracking the financial records from the Villard House offices on Madison Avenue of Jeffrey Epstein's hedge fund and financial management firm J. Epstein & Co.? Who holds these records? What trades do they show? Who were the prime brokers? Where are any former employees who executed trades? Was there never a hedge fund at all? If not, is the inexplicable Epstein fortune and the missing Robert Maxwell fortune actually one and the same fortune? 
B) Where are the newspaper stories detailing the known border crossings where Ghislaine Maxwell's passports were last presented to the immigration agents of any government? Where was her last known social engagement? Is she continuing to file and pay taxes? Why is she not being sought by law enforcement and where is the government request for any information as to her last whereabouts? How did this person simply vanish in a world where Tech tracks everyone at all times? Where did her digital trail run cold? 
C) Where are the newspaper stories asking whether Jeffrey Epstein was known to be connected to any US or foreign intelligence agencies? Where are the on-the-record stories asking if the US and its allies categorically deny refusing to work with any known child sex traffickers? Why has have such questions not terminated in at least a categorical denial or "no comment" response or even a refusal to discuss "sources and methods"? 
D) Why is there no routine call from Journalists, Senators, Congressmen and women, Academics, Clergy or Business leaders for hearings into the intelligence communities in the wake of Epstein and related affairs, as there was during the 1970s when the Church and Pike committees uncovered dirty tricks campaigns against lawful citizens? Why are these agencies now protected and immune in a way that they were not previously?


Black World stuff..
Robert Maxell (Ghislaine’s dad) has ties to INSLAW and PROMIS (opened the original backdoors for surveillance state)
Octopus...
