Much of GDP growth is tied to how much carbon you're burning.
Eric Weinstein
So if we dream about us all being equal economically, we may be dreaming about ecological disaster.

Our economics was based on an older form of capitalism that has worked for a while
Eric Weinstein
and is working far less now and it's going to continue to sputter into the future.

What Nassim Taleb does on Twitter is a question of frame rejection or game rejection.
Eric Weinstein
Very often what he's saying is, "You come to me with a framework and that framework is poisoned."

If you are in possession of an interesting truth, your community will put you through hell.
Eric Weinstein
Nassim could take that longer than normal people, which is why he had an audience and following.

There's a level of predation in financial advising that should be thoroughly & morally unacceptable
Eric Weinstein
but it is tolerated as a natural part of the industry.

Most of the venture capital doesn't work.
Eric Weinstein
And I think what we're seeing is, this isn't probably the best way of funding our future.

Racism is implicit in the Black Lives Matter and I can't stand hearing the anti-whiteness
.
Eric Weinstein
I do believe in structural oppression but this is not the way you fight it.

Stop saying all cops are bastards because they're not. We put them in life and death situations.
Eric Weinstein
Some of them are poorly trained, some are well trained. Some of them are great and some are horrible
Eric Weinstein
I'm up for re-factoring the criminal justice system but this idea of tear it all down?
Eric Weinstein
This is just an anti-intellectual movement.

The police are intended to be violent. That is the reason they carry nightsticks and guns.
Eric Weinstein
The idea of monopoly in violence by the State is an innovation.
Eric Weinstein
A non-monopoly on violence will look like warring factions. That is not good.

People shouting through restaurants, you better say, "Black Lives Matter" or you're a racist!
Eric Weinstein
They are getting off their authoritarian tendencies. Same thing with the issue of trans pronouns.

I am fine with alteration but this idea of choosing your own pronouns, and "They?"
Eric Weinstein
That is just childish and stupid. It's dumb.
Eric Weinstein
I don't mean that we don't worry about differences in biological sex, gendered traits, and pronouns
Eric Weinstein
But the way we're doing it communicates stupidity. It's just a very bad technical solution.

Have you ever thought about how preposterous Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump is?
Eric Weinstein
Neither of them is analytically sharp and we are threatened by codes, drones, and viruses.
Eric Weinstein
It's an incredibly technical world and we have child-like conversations.

I think we haven't instructed people that there's something called adulthood.
Joseph Walker
So what does adulthood mean to you?
Eric Weinstein
It means that you recognize the level of resolution necessary to take on a problem.
Eric Weinstein
How it requires many resources, a degree of tradeoffs, a level of granularity, and so on.

For instance, you say, 'I'm voting for Trump!' and people automatically think you support him.
Eric Weinstein
But maybe that person votes for Trump because he believes we need a wrecking ball.

There's something wrong with pathological egalitarianism.
Eric Weinstein
Aspiring to equality is incredibly dangerous. I say that even as I have concerns about inequalities
Eric Weinstein
You wouldn't want to live in an equal society, you will be miserable.
