Delayed gratification might be good for us but bloody hell mate you make it difficult with some of these clips.

[@sp-uf6tx]

Thank you! When Eric speaks I listen

[@SuzanneRowell]

please interview Bret Weinstein next :)

[@nicholasbrunori281]

Would have been better if you had just released it, we watch everything you make but drip feeding clips to hype seems pointless and annoying, after I’ve listed to all the clips because it all I can get them I listen to the whole episode and have skip 9 minutes I’ve already heard, I get it l, it’s better for your view count because it artificially adds multiple views to the same content but it’s annoying and feels shitty from a follower point of view

[@Jerry-ho4qh]

Don’t release the episode. This 8 minutes and 56 seconds sample was a hard watch as it is.

[@MH-ev3wr]

What’s so odd to me is the sheer quantity of people complaining about his “dramatic, performative pauses”. Where I come from, saying nothing when you’re formulating a thought is way better than filling in the silence with words like “umm”, “ahh”, “sooo”, “you know”, and my all time favorite, “like”. From a public speaking standpoint he is tremendous. Not sure if people just aren’t familiar with good public speakers in this society of real housewives and child politicians or what.

[@LPchief]

Exactly this! I totally agree

[@PauloBerni699]

I’ve done public speaking and studied it prior, and yes; pausing to allow for reflection, pondering, or digestion of ideas, or questions etc and making eye contact with your audience is important in maintaining their engagement and anticipation.

[@ithink3979]

Ah, the results of a neverending flashy stream of 300 MPH have-it-right-now 30 second average "shorts" or clips on these platforms, scrolling one straight in to the next. Constant noise, movement and stimulation becomes a pacifier. People have been so systematically conditioned, or socially engineered to have such short attention spans so much now that it makes them feel uncomfortable to slow it down, stop and reflect within a discussion like these fine gentlemen do.

[@MichelleLyn84]

I notice the difference in the medical field. Getting someone’s vital signs now (I still take blood pressure manually), vs 20 years ago is vastly different. People’s eye movements are frequent, they can’t just sit and look at the wall or the floor, they don’t know where to look, they don’t know what to do with their hands without their phone, they don’t know what to do in general when there’s a few seconds of no talking, or if there’s a few seconds of silence in general. They either have to be moving, talking or they have to get out their phone. It’s moderately infuriating.

[@davidaldridge5716]

Agreed. It’s understating things to say he’s thoughtful but he’s just thoughtful It’s bizarre how certain critiques are infectious. Talking about him in this way is like a trend of some sort Granted I will say he’s not great at packaging and delivering a point which is to say he’s not great at simplifying what he’s talking about. But he’s sooooo much better than he used to be …I assume he’s aware of this.

[@jcronin3155]

The question is: What did Hawking want with Epstein.

[@tupums]

Girls or money.

[@savioblanc]

We often forget that Epstein was a rich lister, with an island, very charming and fun to hang out with. Pretty much everyone wanted to hangout with Jeffrey Epstein, so why not the most famous physicist on the planet? It was only after some allegations came out against him in the early 2000s that he was involved in sex trafficking that his popularity took a hit but many still stuck by him cos, remember, many just thought they were allegations brought against him by his "enemies" who were jealous of him and his money. Of course, as more evidence came out, it became a different story. So really, there is no question why Hawking wouldn't want to hang out with Epstein. Everyone famous enough and rich enough did at one point.

[@edmckay8001]

Or both

[@kathrynjohansen4452]

Both were spies

[@RS-mb6nn]

Probably just Steven Hawking's autograph and maybe conversations with a very famous physicist. How hard is it to believe Steven Hawking's has millions of fans. That's just a fact.

[@jimbobkentucky]

He did a total Jesse Ventura: “Why don’t you tell me?!” Seriously LOL!

[@001Darkcycle]

Eric, our interest in J E and why people are still talking about him is precisely because we know he could not have accomplished what he had in a vacuum. We know there are people "above" him that "permitted" his lifestyle. That is why we are curious to the nature of anybody that had association with him, financial or otherwise. And we KNOW the kind and calibre of some of the people he has "entertained". And we are suspicious. And I think that is the appropriate vibe.

[@SJSummers01]

…& E’s not the only one. At best he was a C- student in his construct.

[@Willmine11]

“We”… Most people are ignorant

[@quietprofessional4557]

And yet the vast majority are not ready to know the truth, or even not want to know the truth. The ignorant masses are only focussed on J.E. island and his "events" and are completely enthralled by it. A great diversion if ever there was one. I for one want to know the powerful people behind J.E., what their 'intentions' are and 'why'. Is it still the same (((people))) Jesus called out years ago or is it another family or tribe I wonder. 🤔 Either way, those behind the curtain are still there because all the fools are focussed on J.E. immoral acts.

[@waynekoren828]

I think his point is that enough people aren't asking about the people behind Epstein, the people that created the construct called Jeffrey Epstein .

[@NMemone]

If Chris genuinely wants answers he should interview Whitney Web b. But he'd better be prepared for what he learns.

[@forsakenquery]

All the haters in the comments. Eric had the distinction of being the first person to have figured out Epstein, years before the docs dropped. Guy deserves respect.

[@JulienSorelEatsSabras]

Pretty sure he figured it out because I told him.

[@pinnitt]

He always knew because they are both Mossad

So excited for round 2. The last time Eric was on was absolutely mesmerizing - can’t wait

[@EdoKwin]

I think this is his third appearance.

[@grimmertwin2148]

Jesus really?

[@Lazzerjoe]

Although i agree Eric could write a masterclass at redirecting lightning, he does answer the question: why was epstien interested in physicists? Physics is power more then money or infinity stones. With all due respect I'm having a diffucult time seeing where people are confused here. He fumfers but answers the question and asks the deeper question: Who was behind JE and why do they* want to manipulate the field? Thanks for having Eric on Chris, love your guys chemistry.

[@j3ffn4v4rr0]

I can only think that all the criticisms in this comments section are because they don't want to admit how much went over their heads. What a challenging interviewee, and yes, great chemistry between them. GREAT moment when Eric just said "hm" with a slight nod, and then penetrating stare for 6 whole seconds. Too many people thing if they're not being spoonfed, there's nothing nutritious to be had.

[@g.shumway5925]

"fumfer"--never heard that before but love it. I will use it from time to time while tipping my proverbial cap to you.

[@TheMadmacs]

no man, heres how that should have gone. '' bit surprised hawking was on his list'' eric, '' well he seemed to gather any notable person (including eric himself.) in any field, for future connections or possible compromising'' there how long did that take you to read, do you have time to watch eric doing social verbal wheelies over and over. talk is cheap sucka's

[@caseycbenn]

Totally with you here... I see Eric's point clearly... and can see exactly why he posits the questions to the questions... its his way of saying "Do you want to go down a useless tangent that will produce no results or insight.... or do you want to stop studying string theory (or the conversational equivalent of it) and think of this MORE relevant question that gets you to your answer much more efficiently and directly. I honestly believe that Eric W. is a great litmus test for those who can think critically and those who are trying very hard but it is mostly going over their capability to understand the larger concept and frame of reference. I see this quite often. What happens to me when I watch an Eric W back and forth is I am half the time baffled at the questions given him as if the interviewer shouldn't be so daft at getting to the meat of the problem... OR Eric asks an even better question that makes me realized I have also been looking at the wrong portion of the problem. It sharpens one's ability to get past the noise to the most applicable part of the issue at hand.

[@IAmWithinEverything]

Makes sense.

[@TheLastSisyphus]

This clip demonstrates the same issue some people have had with Eric for years now: he is more performative than informational in a lot of cases. I suppose it's exciting to speculate about a conspiracy about who "created" Epstein and its connection to physics, but that ultimately gets us nowhere other than more speculation. I don't know about anyone else, but eventually, these super-exciting conspiratorial speculations don't amount to much. They just become performative theater for those hungry for the next hottest thing.

[@eyeq7730]

I agree, however Eric had personal dealings with him and thought very early on that Epstein's persona and whole set up didn't gel with everyone else who was that wealthy Eric had come into contact with. Something more than just him being a paedo and coming into money after linking up with the Daughter of a man who stole hundreds of millions from a pension fund...

[@janem3575]

I don't know about physics or science, but I thought he did a lot of circular talk. Did not convince me one ioda to be interested in physics, if that was his goal

[@zarbins]

@@janem3575 In what way is it circular? Is there not a clear progression from point 1) Epstein's list and Chris's thoughts on it 2) S. Hawking 3) The power of Physics 4) The obvious notion that there are people behind Epstein 5) The lack of innovation in aspects of theoretical physics 6) The seeming failure of String Theorists. Eric is being provocative and theatrical for effect and the dialogue is engaging because Chris gets to participate, and express himself as a layman (thinking the way many of us might), and Eric seriously engages and seeks to heighten the dialogue from his perspective of mathematical physics. Ultimately, it is speculative but there is concrete discussion going on as well. Or is everyone in this thread aware of Witten's recent appearance at the World Science Festival and that it's the 40th anniversary re: 'Anomalies and the Green-Schwarz Mechanism'? And that he has been hearing from others in his field about their concerns. There is a non-circular narrative construction occurring here but apparently it bores everyone, or at least Eric's approach to it. Eric is smart, perhaps a bit too playful though.

[@rafal5863]

Eric understands esoteric cronyism and control. The interview Eric did trying to compromise O’Keefe before PV takedown is very interesting. Who are Eric’s friends that he wanted JOK to play nice with?

[@somechrisguy]

He is opening the conversation, he has enough humility to say he doesn't have all the answers. Are you suggesting that people should only discuss things with certainty? If one doesn't have definitive knowledge about a subject they just shouldn't talk about it?

[@eduxfe]

Nowadays people are so numb and intoxicated with massive loads of content everywhere, that they forget to use their brains. A lot of people commented that Eric was a master in the art of saying nothing and expected some answers. He already did people! In his podcast! He spoke his mind to whoever wanted to hear it. He received death threats due to that. He knows the answers to the questions he is given here. But he can't say them, for whatever reason. He may even want to protect his family and close ones. He wants us to make thought exercises and to talk as much as possible between ourselves and, then maybe, one day, someone will reach the right answer.

[@Frontpageleisure]

I disagree with some of the sentiment here. Life isn’t always ask a question, get an immediate answer. He said he didn’t know. What he did do was ask a provocative question and make me think a bit deeper about that situation and I’ll use that in the future to try and see what the real answer might be. He added more than enough to the conversation. We just get lazy and want immediate answers to our questions. Life doesn’t always work out like this. We have seemed to lose the ability to think critically.

[@brentjohnson9210]

It made me think also. Think that; anyone who is taking the time to lead me down the garden path that Jeffery Epstein was just a pawn using his career of leveraging powerful people by exploiting their weaknesses of lust, to obtain secrets of physics for some unnamed world power, perhaps has reason to distract me from the fact Epstein used young girls and trapped many middle aged men who made his acquaintance…

[@_baller]

Why do ppl bounce questions back at the ppl asking the question, keep the questions on the guy who needs to answer

[@RPisa2416]

Then this would be the exact same episode as last time Weinstein was featured

[@masterphillips]

The Socratic method is just a tool, it can be used in good or bad faith. Good faith examples: Guiding to a better suited question for the context Pointing out assumptions or bias in the question Clarification so a more clear answer can be given Bad faith examples: Derail from original question entirely Make questioner look bad/stupid/uninformed/whatever Misdirect to a more preferred topic/avoid answering I haven't watched the whole thing yet. Eric tends to be good faith from what I've seen in the past though.

[@Doozy_Titter]

Relax, this is a podcast not an interview

[@NoNoNoNoYoureWrong]

Sitting across from a person and answering questions does nothing. Guiding people through your thought process, how to process information like you do, while still discussing the topic does significantly more for the other person in the conversation and in this case, the audience as well. It's equally important to understand HOW someone comes to a conclusion, as the conclusion itself.

[@camwelch9948]

Eric could just answer the question, but asking a lay person may give perspective of the audience, then they can discuss the relationship

[@kangarooninja2594]

The common denominator between entertainers, politicians, and academics is that they all socialize with each other. Chris Tucker can introduce you to Jay-Z who can in turn introduce you to Obama. Why does Hawking have to be interesting beyond who he knows?

[@StimParavane]

[@brizzlefarmizzle]

He's a liar. I've listens to hours of him and his epstien story charges every time he tells it

[@dreadlordfluffy1991]

After living through Covid, I think everyone needs to be very aware of the political clout saying "Trust the Science" has. Having an instantly recognizable scientist in your pocket is an obvious political advantage.

[@FunkyKikuchiyo]

The simplest explanation is Epstein, when not conning people or raping girls, loved watching Nova and a part of him believed he could’ve been a scientist, but his life is too busy with other things. If he was inviting jazz musicians to the island, it would also be reasonable to guess he loved jazz and believed if he took saxophone lessons he’d be one of the greats. Not every explanation about Epstein needs to fit a Bond villain character arc.

[@stoneneils]

Bingo, I knew the guy and he was extremely boring. There is no conspiracy other than he managed to acquire an island where famous people didn't have to worry about the papparazi when they partied. There was no cabal or big secret, his parties had thousands of attendess..but people want a 'list' lol.

[@bloopboop9320]

The reason why people are suspicious is because Epstein paid people to cover-up allegations of Hawking having sex with minors, which means that he was somehow afraid of that allegation leading back to him. That doesn't mean Hawking is guilty, but it also makes him rather suspicious.

[@carpathianhermit7228]

[@nathanmclaughlin304]

I worked at the SSC for General Dynamics in 1991 thru the contract termination. The reason it was shut down was due to mismanagement of funds by people in charge. It was also because those writing the checks had no idea what benefits were possible. Or what benefits could/would be developed just by attempting to achieve what CERN has. SSC would have done it decades earlier, imo. Those are the reasons.

Annoyingly cryptic answers- or should I say- non-answers

[@MrKrtek00]

I think you guys overthinking it. If an investor (broader sense, might be a state..) want to invest long term in tech, then bet in fields which potentially having very unexpected, long term tech impact. It is like Softbank betting on software (all software, whole field). Bio, Chem is a little old, crowded, Physics potentially has a lot of steam in it. Quantum, Materials-Semiconductors is already crowded, what do you bet on what no one used for tech yet? Far end f particle physics, cosmology, gravitation is on potential field that may have huge impact without people betting on it.

I almost didn’t watch this because of the comments, but I took a chance and I can say for certain that he clearly answered it. The relationship is physics. Why physics? He said when you understand physics or you can control those that understand it, you control the world. Why? Because those that can harness the power of physics can make nuclear bombs, travel space, control resources, etc.

[@creatorgenerator1998]

[@charliewalker9443]

I can’t decide whether I really enjoy podcasts with Eric or loathe him entirely. Needlessly wordy at times, yet still interesting.

That depends: If you’re just interested in his work, that’s probably fine. But if you’re trying to lure him into an international blackmail racket alongside many other powerful people. Then that’s a bit dodgy.

They were nerding out a bit much…..if the question is what would Epstein (and the intel networks he works for) want with Stephen Hawking it might not be about understanding or possessing Hawking’s knowledge They want to blackmail leading scientists so that they will support different agendas that they push So whether you have a preventable pandemic or you’re wanting the world to obsess about the climate so that you can restructure society….if renowned scientists are in sync with the narrative/propaganda, it’s useful So the real question is what other leading scientists are blackmailed?

[@sar4x474]

Wait,,,,, what?

[@Real_MisterSir]

I think it's pretty simple. Epstein's life revolved around gaining control over his surroundings, and he leveraged the key to control: people. Having connections in all the pillar fields of the world (economics, politics, law/enforcement, and physics, music, etc). Associating himself with high standing people in all these fields is something Epstein specialized in. Why? Because it simply gave him more options, more levers to pull, more leverage, more pieces to move around in his puzzle. People to him meant options, and for someone who demands control and seeks to influence others to his own benefit, having a lot of options for all possible situations is a net gain for him. If he wants anything from someone who is involved with physics, he can immediately leverage his association with Hawking to nudge people into wanting to do favors for him or hold him in high regard, and to not get on bad terms with him. Because if you get on bad terms with someone who knows a high standing person in your field of work/interest, then it's likely going to cause a risk in your own future - or at least it will fell like that. So people are more inclined to want to stay on good terms with Epstein just so that they are sure none of their own actions have a risk of backfiring. Epstein made a constant deal out of telling people who "wronged him", that he would end their career or their life, make sure they wouldn't get hired anywhere, etc. And he was believable because he associated with all the highest standing people in these fields of work, so his words had weight. Control and influence, that's the main reason why he associated with high standing people in all important fields of society.

This is how esoteric cronyism works. In intelligence it is called a limited hangout. Act smug as though you know and let people speculate and create their own red hearings. It is a tactic.

You can’t take out a city with a little physics. You take out a city with a little physics + a lot of engineering and labor. For my money, the engineers and mechanics (not quantum mechanics) that deserve most of the credit for nuclear energy.

Look at what Hawking talked about before the setup, that he didn't talk about after. In particular, relating to natural cycles of our star. There's a civilization-ending event coming sometime in the next decade. The period of this cycle is 3x4x1000yrs. I'm being indirect to try to avoid the usual deletion of my statements on this subject.

There is a 4hr lecture on yt by Professor Eric Dollard on the nature of electricity. The first hour is an outline of the history of electricity back to Faraday qnd his key on a kite string experiment through to Tesla. Once covers Tesla, Dollard says "This is where all inc2stigation into electricity stops" Why? What might have been discovered if it had continued? Or was it simply a matter that the money men had their product? I don't think so.
