I heard him say that he did a Portal episode on agency, but I can't figure out which one it is

Anyone else notice Megyn Kelly done lost her mind? She has become an enthusiastic Trump supporter.

Recently John McWhorter has been talking about how hard it is to relate to J.D. Vance because he doesn't believe that the "old Vance" (the "never Trump" version that wrote Hillbilly Elegy) could cowtow to Trump quite the way that the current iteration is doing.

I'm having the same feelings about Megyn Kelly. It's like she's been brainwashed. I heard her on some podcasts making a lot of sense a year or three ago. And now she's showing up at a Trump rally acting like the guy is J.C. come off the cross and she's a teenage groupie.

One thing I will say is this cements for me some of the psychological differences between the Democratic and Republican camps. With Democrats, we tend to be so focused on making sense and rationalism that what Kelly is doing looks... again... brainwashed. But Jon Haidt talks in his book Righteous Mind about how, for Republicans, fealty to the cause/community can be much more important than it would be to Democrats. (Democrats would tend to be more individualistic.) And I can't help but think that when I watch Kelly breathlessly embrace Trump at that rally (you can see clips of it...), she is being honest: it's just her version of honesty is "coming home out of the cold, embraced by the fire of self-righteousness that is tribal politics" rather than "making sense, doing what you personally think is right, etc." She's exhilarated because she can be a happy Republican again and rejoin her friends and family --- rather than being a no-political-home, feeling-like-the-country-is-failing mopey person. The obvious logical inconsistency or lack of intellectual rigor doesn't matter to her the way it might to your average Democratic pundit.

Eric on X: "Many people vote for candidates that they feel do not generally represent them (e.g. ‘Lesser of Evils’ voting, Single issue voting). American adults: In 2024 are you voting for a US presidential candidate that represents your values?"

Eric made this poll on X so I thought I would try it here too.

From his post: "People keeping up with mainstream news media and polls have been telling me for some time that this US election is expected to be a nail biter.

Q: Is this US election close?"

Eric Weinstein's Geometric Unity is predicated on this Shiab operator but he doesnt provide the formula for it and he says "he forgot it". lol. what a joke.
"trust me, my theory is solid, i just left the equation that makes it work in the other room"
on top of that, he calls it a theory of everything when it cant reproduce the standard model nor gravity.

This guy probably learned about the story of fermat's last theorem and thought to himself "ooo thats a sexy story, i should use that". grifter

Then he has the audacity to criticize academic elitism. Which for the record, is something I personally think may be a real issue specifically in theoretical physics but not in any of the other sciences because the others atleast make experimentally testable predictions so it less susceptible to favouritism by the reviewers opinions. But Eric denounces ALL of scientific peer review.

The reason why Eric is so effective at his grift is because it requires a degree in physics (which I have) to be able to see through it. He's managed to dupe all of you because he preys on people's resentment towards "elites". I grew up poor, so im with you on that. but i can atleast tell when someones a bullshit artist

I just checked Eric's wikipedia article and to my surprise it's mentioned that he had worked for Thiel Capital from 2013 to 2022. I was wondering if any of you has any details or anecdotes on this or knows what he's doing now in terms of emplyoment. Cheers!

Moment he says it is around 1:46:45.
