Eric on Big Think: Capitalism 2.0 Will Include a Healthy Dose of Socialism

,
America is falling behind when it comes to leadership, and it’s pretty much directly correlated to how we value people with technical brains. They aren’t given enough power, so much of the American way of the last 50 to 60 years or so has…

Eric on Big Think: AI Can Now Self-Reproduce — Should Humans Be Worried?

,
Those among us who fear world domination at the metallic hands of super-intelligent AI have gotten a few steps ahead of themselves. We might actually be outsmarted first by fairly dumb AI, says Eric Weinstein. Humans rarely create products…

Eric on Big Think: Embrace Contradictory Ideas to Reach New Intellectual Heights

,
We know it’s a myth that “humans only use 10% of their brains,” but there might be a function of your mind that you’re neglecting to use: its sandboxes. Eric Weinstein borrows this term from computer science to explain the potential…

Eric on Big Think: Genius Is Not about Excelling at Something—It’s about Doing Things Differently

Eric’s boldness, ideas, and the manner in which he explains and connects his ideas is sui generis

Eric W is exactly what we need right now.

If you want to remove the brain fog and put to words the things that you have been trying to figure out but can’t quite get there on your own because of all the lies and the cultural narrative. This is your podcast!
I’ve literally felt the crumbling of society over the past 11 months, but here is a place where it can be rebuilt! Brilliant! Articulate! Interesting!
I’m so glad someone recommended this to me!

Please keep on providing these conversations via the Portal. There are so few out there that are as consistently meaningful as yours. You are providing hope where there [is] so little these days.

Fantastic conversations with open minded clarity. Yes, these are long podcasts but that’s ok with me. And anyone who ruffles the feathers of the intolerant blobs of both sides of the political divide is ok with me. A breath of fresh intellectual air is needed these days and Eric provides it.

If you enjoy deep thinking, challenging ideas and posits, you’ll hopefully give Portal its due.

Thank you Eric for democratizing productive ways to think. I am honored to consume this

This is one of my favorite podcasts. I can’t wait for a new one.

I love this podcast. I’ve listened to many of these episodes two or three times. Looking forward to more!

Love Eric’s thought process and articulate manner. He never holds back and takes my brain to another level.

Eric Weinstein & The Portal have added so much value to my life. Joy and enjoyment too. I so appreciate his raw smarts, and also how he’s able to articulate his thoughts in an accessible manner. Plus he mixes in humor and general conversational skill, and it all comes from a place of true passion and compassion, I think. I get so much out of this. Thank you Eric!!
