Bret and Eric Weinstein: Brothers in Fraudulence

[@Omphalo_Skepsis]

I was staff at TESC at that time. Thank you for writing about the truth of the events at TESC. It was so frustrating to watch everything unfold and see Bret manipulate the media coverage. There were multiple staff conversations before, during and after DOA/DOP. Bret was aware that he did not have to leave campus. Bret wanted to participate in the DEI activity on his terms, and burned everything down when he did not get his way. Bret had multiple chances to deescalate the situation, but chose to deliberately escalate everything.

I was introduced to Eric Weinstein about a decade ago by Silicon Valley people who treated him like the smartest person they had ever met: he was like their token genius they brought around to parties to show how smart they are by association. After about ten minutes of convo with him, I realized that his real superpower is projecting an air of overconfidence in his own intelligence and correctness. In my experience, the smartest people tend to be pretty humble, so I assumed that while he may have a high degree of a certain type of intelligence, he's probably compensating for something.

Its happening in politics and media. Just in the last few days a woke left male teacher was fired for saying anyone who disagrees with him should be shot.

This is one place were Dave missed the ball and needs to do more research. Bret did not promote the deliberate release hypothesis, but the accidental lab leak hypothesis, and he did so early in the pandemic not because of "spidey sense", but because he read a detailed investigation with evidence by Yuri Deigin (who was initially trying to disprove lab leak). Over the course of time an increasing number of people (including US intelligence) have come to view the lab leak hypothesis as at least plausible, perhaps even probable. Furthermore, there is now evidence that Peter Daszak, who channelled NIH funding viia EcoHealth Alliance to the WIV lab, coordinated a group of virologists to sign a letter to Nature stating that the lab leak hypothesis was essentially impossible. He also headed the WHO investigation, at the request of China - an evident conflict of interest.

Given Joe Rogan's track record and the many frauds and pretty much insane people he's already had on his podcast, I doubt somebody like professor Dave would be allowed but not so I think it's impossible. Hopefully he can get on to debunk all the non scientific nonsense that has been spewed and correctly communicate science in a manner without involving religion, politics, or just falsehoods.

[@slb159]

Eric's a mathematician, not a physicist...he even admits so. I only had to read the video's description to see this guy didn't know what he was talking about.

[@johndoe-bl8yd]

Very well done. I was impressed with the Weinstein brothers at first but after a year or two their grift became obvious.

[@85481]

I remember Brett suggesting a unity party concept with cross party candidates for the 2016 election. Perhaps that was grandiose delusion on his part but it was a nice idea. He also promoted people staying home or at least not socialising in large groups outdoors during the pandemic and urged people to take supposedly minor illnesses like colds and flus more seriously. That stuff all seemed good. He clearly went off the deep end but I never had much contact with his content other than those examples.

Fun fact. Montagner's participation in the discovery of H.I.V. is discussed here in France. Many people claimed that he just put his name on the work of Françoise Barré-Sinoussi as it was, and still is a "tradition" for head of labs to sign any paper write by their collegues or students (at least here in french.). It's for this very reason, that Raoult has his name on some many papers. Edit : So this fraud of a human being complains about Theo Polya using à psudonym and then go after people who criticize him just for "making à name"? What an AH.

Those who actually do math know that if you are lucky enough to have some good original ideas, the only way for them to have an impact is to write them up very well, so that it will be readable and so have a much btetter chance of getting easily published. After that to give talks (backed up by the papers or preprints) which are interesting and well- prepared. Also, to collaborate with co-authors so you can have fun and bounce ideas off each other. It's true that it's very hard to do all that without an academic position which although it may not pay well, and may have too much teaching, at least gives you some time and possibilities and resources for that. Teaching or having students can help, if you are lucky. To expect to get all the fluff of fame without putting in the hard work of actually working out your perhaps genuinely brilliant ideas thoroughly, is naive, unrealistic and selfish: everyone else has to do it, what makes you so special? There are coutless unfinished manuscripts and notes by very famous researchers which will never get completed by anyone else, simply because no one has the time and energy to finish someone else's mess.... Furthermore, : if your goal is actually to contribute to others, rather than to just make money or be famous, then you want to do that anyway: to write it up correctly, rigorously, and completely, and explain it to inspire others. Just sayin'.... working for fame and money has it backwards.

Having consumed hundreds of hours of interview content from a really broad array of public intellectuals and scientists, I have found that it is very easy to be overwhelmed and confused about who is legitimate and who is a charlatan. It’s especially because my knowledge of higher topics is limited. I’m not dumb, but I’m not an academic. I guess I could best call myself a mainstream auto-didact. Podcasts and KZbin videos presenting high-level academic stars are my university. But I don’t pretend to know for absolute certainty which of these people is fully legitimate. I just tried to do my best to discern concepts that are deservedly profound versus Technically-worded nonsense BS. (see Jordan Peterson). Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for providing your analysis of these people. It really has helped me hack through the jungle of self promotion. 👍🏼

I hadn't done much research into Eric, but saw his podcast appearances and felt like he was a pretty interesting guy with a lot to say. The more I watched, however, the more I realized how desperate he is to be perceived as some genius physicist/mathematician. I started picking up on small things he would do, like complain about how he "only" got his Master's degree when he was 18, or use Group Theory jargon to explain super simple mathematical principles. He's someone who's for sure more knowledgeable about Math and Physics than 99.9 percent of people, but he exploits this fact to make himself appear like the most brilliant guy to ever live.

This video is really fantastic, evidence wise. However, I'm really conflicted about Dave's passionate insults towards the people he argues are charlatans. I think it's partly me being too soft, but I think it also comes off as being so passionate that I become skeptical about Dave's whole analysis. Selectively divorcing Dave's passionate jabs from the evidence, I actually really like the content and the criticism aimed towards Bret and Eric do seem warranted. But man... the rageful insults are off-putting.

[@holysecret2]

Agreed. I will keep it in the back of my mind to remain skeptical, but I simply can't take this amount of passionate (hateful) criticism on good faith. I have never been a fan or receptive towards this "tearing down"-type of criticism. It is meant to be destructive and polarizing. Criticism should be either constructive or at least dispassionate, both in other to be trustworthy and objective, and also so it doesn't spoil the reader's own judgment emotionally, irrelevant of the facts of the matter or the criticisms at hand, which should be the sole focus.
