An underrated Eric Weinstein insane-ism is that whenever he talks to anyone with a thick accent, he reflexively goes into "ethnic Eric" mode and starts subconsciously doing an accent of his own

Lol Bret is apparently going to do an Oxford Union debate this week. They know how to pick 'em...

2020 Bret used to at least do a Kabuki theater version of presenting the evidence for the latest βspiracy. These days heβs basically just like βitβs obviousβ and focuses more on talking about how evil and villainous everyone who disagrees with him is every week

Jordan Peterson and Konstantin Kisin both constantly sell victimhood to their audiences. They and their audience wallow in persecution narratives. Konstantin also became a culture war figure on the back of an invented controversy over a comedy contract made by a random student.

There is something darkly amusing about the fact that selling victimhood to the most privileged people in history has become such a lucrative and big business.
When I was on tour with @jordanbpeterson he talked about many things, but probably the most common recurring theme was the "Spirit of Cain". It seems our ancient and sacred texts tell these stories for a reason: victimhood is easy, seductive and addictive. And now profitable too.
We are living through a perpetual victimhood escalation battle where people (and groups) now compete not on merit, but on the supposed disadvantages they face. Which makes perfect sense since this is the incentive structure our societies have been encouraged and forced to adopt.

Today's episode of the Darkhorse podcast made laugh because Bret and Heather, who reiterate they are "liberals", in the course of supporting the republican candidate for LA mayor, quite literally said that the rich are the source of everything good in society.

Science quackery aside, it's funny that main pillars of Bret and Heather's worldview now are:
- the rich need to be taxed less
- birth control is bad
- porn should be banned
- people need to be less slutty
but Bret still presents this as "the left left me"

Occasionally Bret will explain that he is actually far left because he thinks things need to change. That is his definition of left wing. (Bret is not very good at defining things).

Weinstein hate is ascendant. This is our era

This guy just babbles incoherent nonsense, and somehow gets dummies on the internet to think he's imparting something awe-inspiringly profound

He really pulled out all the stops in this episode trying to convince Joe that the U.S. government is frequently consulting him on critical matters (mostly UFOs) and that due to his status as an Inside Man, he knows many secrets he is too much of a gentleman to reveal

Luckily even the youtube comment section at this point has figured out that Eric is delusional and wasting their time. When will Joe reach that level of awareness?
(Also, Hi Eric! Every time you go on Rogan you make it clear you obsess over every mean thing I write about you)

Every time Grok says I'm wrong, I force it to admit that it was wrong.
However, my critics keep trying the same issues over and over by starting a fresh chat. It doesn't change the result, just wastes my time.
Here is the latest. See thread for the final screen.

I tweet once every couple days to make a clip or reacting to someones tweet. I find it hard to think of things to say that I think are worth tweeting out. Thereβs something that always unnerved me about people who make a new top-level tweet every day reiterating their opinions

Once I started telling the truth about October 7th, I couldnβt stop telling the truth about everything else.
β
this progressive idea that some races get to speak and others donβt is anti American.
β
the idea that asexual belongs in LGBT is laughably dumb
β
non-binary is not transsexual
β
the fundamental nature of the Democratic Party right now is antisemitic.
β
progressive gender ideology is giving conservatives everything they need to eliminate trans women from public life
Every normal person knows every one these things is true. And yet, you are not allowed to say any of it.

I see it a lot on anti-trans twitter. Itβs bizarre and uncanny to apropos of nothing tweet out little declarations and mini-narratives about your beliefs every day. It seems like the kind of thing you would only do if you felt a pressing need to sustain engagement

Gad is not a STEM professional; he is a pop psychologist who has published a handful of low-quality, non-replicable papers and spends most of his time pontificating with credulous podcasters about his culture war takes. He is the very thing he is complaining about.
May 15
.@GadSaad agrees with Orwell: it takes an intellectual to come up with truly stupid ideas. When academics are disconnected from reality or accountability, bad ideas spread like parasites. While STEM professionals have to answer for their mistakes, humanities professors build theories that no one ever has to test. That lack of accountability is exactly how toxic ideas take over a university and eventually a culture. If these professors can't survive the scrutiny of their own ideas, should they be teaching our children? Watch here πl.prageru.com/49RBlY7

Bret really, really, really hates having to defend his ideas

Panel with @BretWeinstein @Lauren_Southern today was a hoot.
Subject: should we get rid of podcasts?
My position: yes, by which I mean, we should definitely get rid of the current podcast media ecosystem, with all its warped and brain-melting incentives, disregard of any factual standards whatsoever, whirlwind of kook mysticism claptrap, and constant hysteria-fomenting.
All of which gets rewarded richly by the algorithm. There is no penalty to be paid for spewing utter bullshit. Thatβs what I argue we βget rid of,β not by any punitive government action, but via social mores that somehow impose a reputational penalty for bullshit-peddling.
I thought that because Bret happened to be on the panel, I would support my argument by citing some specific examples from his recent podcast oeuvre. Namely: his βgame theoreticalβ postulation that Jeffrey Epstein is alive, as well as his affirmation that the Epstein Files prove incontrovertibly that scores of children were not just raped and trafficked, but βeaten.β
Bret apparently took this to be an βambush,β as he later characterized it to me. I was also chastised on stage for being overly βvituperative,β and advised that I should try being βnicer.β Which I declined π
Chatting with Bret after the panel, he was still huffy and sour. I offered that if he wanted to continue the conversation, in any format he wished (public or private), I would be more than happy to do so, as a gesture of good faith.
He then claimed he figured out what my MO was all along: to βride his coattails,β and jockey to get on his podcast. (I honestly couldnβt give less of a shit about appearing on his podcast.) When I told him this was obviously not my goal, he said: βIβm not stupid, Michael.β
So anyway, it was fun times. π
I think the video should be available somewhere

I like how when Bret goes to a panel his expectation is that he will not be "ambushed" with difficult questions. What he expects to get out of a panel (and indeed what he usually gets) is a masturbatory exercise in everyone sharing their high level ideas and nodding at eachother
