Eric Weinstein is easily one of the most interesting public figures today. He provides a much-needed rational perspective. This was a great discussion.
The one thing i disagree with eric on is him saying "richard spencer is close to being a nazi" Nooo i think i have enough evidence and video footage to put together an argument for richard spencer being a nazi
National Socialism is a pretty accurate description of his policies. Whether you include the race part or not.
Hyrum Wood he’s noting the difference between a person who is of The Muslim faith and the Islamic extremists and Jihadis.
He was pretty clear. Muslims in the US are not particularly radicalized, and are in fact helpful, but radical Islam is a problem.
It is the whole point of the conversation: Extremism is bad, including when dealing with extremists.
Just advice, not an argument nor an attack.
Intelligence and compassion. Open to new ideas. I love this guy.
Exactly. Wise smart and good and truth seeking. Perfect human
The world is 2 minutes from obliteration. But first..

Johnny Massacre paddies pub is known for thick lime slices, we'll talk money in a second
Ben "you're gonna die" Shapiro
I think you have a defective Chrystal ball.
Eric is seriously next level. He has the sort of insight thats been missing on youtube.
Eric is the only guy I've ever seen who can cause Jordan Peterson to just sit and listen.
I used to think he was one of the professors that caused this rise of socialism in America. I've changed my mind and think that his message is a bit too advanced for for most of his students.
Exactly.
@@rhymeswithteeth yes, this...its amazing. You can see JBP just sit back in wonder and interest...
Baki I think so too at times, until he quotes Paul Krugman, and then I face palm.
Eric W is an awesome force of intelligence, and Ben S is doing a first class job of facilitating civil discourse. I find this friendship inspiring.
Eric thinks tweeter represents real life , that's why he makes no sense to intelligent individuals like me.
How long did it take you to come up with those big words?
@The Truth of the Matter "and your spelling it shows how intelligent you are"
Bro, read that sentence again
That's some pathetic grammar

I was going to say that - that it's a hairpiece.
I read title as "Epic Weinstein" - which isn't wrong
It's so refreshing to hear people discuss politics and real world issues honestly, and non emotionally,
Love the Sunday Special Ben! The more ludicrous ideas that come out of your monologues during the week get a healthy dose of critique every Sunday. As a classical liberal who only agrees with you occasionally, its nice to watch you sit down with politically diverse opinions, usually adverse to your own. I'll keep coming back
“Hot seat” has a whole new meaning when the interview set consists of 50 heat lamps
"You just put Richard Spencer next to Ben Shapiro and expected us not to notice?" I like him xD
Ive found my new Hitchens! I could listen to Eric all day long. Great mind.
In case you haven't found it already, check out his podcast 'the Portal' :)
I heard this comparison made so many times between Eric Weinstein and Christopher Hitchens. But Eric Weinstein is a superior mind and more academically accomplishment
Get jonathan haidt on
Ooof!
YES! Jonathan Haidt might be providing the world with the most astute and sagacious understanding of what's going on with our political institutions and how our brains are wired to be intuitive and irrational. I think him and Eric Weinstein could give us the most interesting conversation we've seen yet.
Leave Shapiro out of it. He's just a slimy neo con that doesn't add much to the discussion.
One of the best Sunday Specials. Eric Weinstein is a wise man in the truest sense of the term.
Sunday Special, i click, i like, i watch
Thanksgiving dinner at the Weinstein family house might melt a normal persons brain. I love these Sunday Specials.
I have often thought exactly that about the Weinstein family dinner table- how do they find time to eat??!
Thanks for providing this (endangered) forum for an intelligent, dispassionate exchange of ideas!
Actually, I see a revival of these forums.. I hope I'm right.
This is what an intelligent liberal looks like...sam harriss, eric and bret are all liberal who can go toe to toe with someone like ben using facts and reason
If I could get by with liking this comment 10,001 times, I'd have done it yesterday! 😎
How did it take you to come up with those big words?
This is literally the conversation I’ve been wanting to hear in the IDW more than any other. It was brilliant, and meaningful to the lives of apes in the real world. It’s time for the best of us progressives to awaken as left libertarians, calling out the bad actors among our own, and all of the real betrayals of our institutions. We need capitalism 2.0, more free that corporatism, more destributive than communism, and driven by unprofitable, unregulated and publically financed basic science research that will better us all. Our digital era was born on semiconductors that the government researched, and then the free market innovated on. We can do this.
AvenueSU unprofitable science? Isn’t profitable applied science the foundation of our technological revolutions? Capitalism 2.0 is free market capitalism with coherent consumerism, we control the corps with our money. All we need is the gov to let the people regulate rather than static asymmetrical interferences that are often misinformed. Stop crony capitalism by removing representative power and redirect it via popular vote. Corps then have to lobby/advertise the American people rather than wine and dine one person. Freedoms given to the people result in a higher nodal network with more feedback loops. Government interference is analogous to giving the human body a drug unaware of how exactly it works and the side effects. That is how most drugs are we do not understand the human body fully. The answers are not in drugs, but in a healthy lifestyle, and homeostasis of a System too complex for us to understand.
@@johnped37 agree with nearly all of it. Except popular vote. Rural folks will not be represented fairly. But I do understand the inherent issues that arise with the alternative style of voting. It's a quandry
Wow fantastic show, please have Eric Weinstein back again soon
Eric Weinstein is legit of the chart smart. Amazing guy.
Ben, bring Eric back for 10 straight Sunday Specials. I could listen to you guys talk for hours.
This was one of my favorites so far. More Eric is needed.
I feel like Eric is underrated within the IDW - he isn't flashy and is too polite to interrupt so people often miss just how balanced, intelligent, and thought-provoking he is.
The acronym TIM, but should be TIME: Technology, Intelligence, Media and Education. These are the main areas infected with LeftCarthyism.
socaltop10 Education is intelligence and technology
socaltop10 I would disagree; outside the retarded humanities, education supports primarily those who learn and understand individually.
Eric touches on the education issue while talking about TIM, he mentions that it may be subject to the same issues as the other three, but only because of the other three.
Nah. TIM controls our factual knowledge. Education doesn't (at least in the fields we're concerned about), there, social justice courses infect people's ability [how] to think in the first place.
These are distinct problems.
socaltop10 Great point. SJW ideas are now invading kindergarten... It's moved from the top to the bottom.
Pre-record the goddamn ads, and just take breaks during the conversation. The ads mid-conversation are so awkward and disrespectful.
MondoMcSpecial. The guest knows ben does the ads. If they did not like it they would not join. You're just projecting your dislike of ben doing the ads saying its disrespecting the guest. They know ben does it.
Mason Macv there is no projecting here dude, it really disrupt the expirience for the viever, and the intervieved person I believe.
petition google to stop demonetizing shit because it's not leftist enough
MondoMcSpecial get over it crybaby
MondoMcSpecial. Even if he prerecords the ads its still going to be shown in the middle when the most people will watch. If he puts them at the end the viewers will turn it off before the ads start. If it's in the begining they will skip them. Either way the ad does not get the most coverage so the supporters would not feel there being represented. Very bad for business.
"[People] want to believe that at least the fictions that they are being fed are adult level."
Brilliant line. I can see why people are so impressed with Weinstein #2. Weinstein #1 is, I think, even MORE amazing.
For the clearest, most insightful analysis of the social "justice" movement that I've come across, see m.ruclips.net/video/bz0oxIZ3xIg/видео.html ("Bret Weinstein, How the Magic Trick Is Done"). EVERY person who is concerned about this movement should listen to this talk.
Right? I think people fundamentally understand that there is a limit to describing things & that narrative & analogy & simplification are necessary lubricants between the hyper-intellectuals & the average population. It's just, don't lie to us, & treat us with respect that we can reasonably tell when we're being lied to.
Quite so. He *gets it*, and that's very rare among highly intelligent people in elitist circles.
Nobody believes they must know everything with 100% truth. Especially the lower class. They don't need to sit at the board meeting.
But they do need to believe that the managers sees them as people, that he cares, that he understands their concerns and that he has their best interests in mind. That, is *trust*.
If you haven't, already, check out #1 and #2 on The Rubin report...at the same time.
@@sorsocksfake I think it's just very rare to find someone who hasn't been hemmed in on all sides in elitist circles.
Eric Weinstein is just about as intelligent as one can be without the full blown autism.
生霊Ikiryo Please dispute anything that he said.
TheAlibabatree he can't. He's just a sheep.
Methinks he has a touch of the tiz, but he's still an incredibly smart guy. His opinion is definitely worth listening to
Relbl I dont even know what to say to that. First, what makes you think he's autistic? Second, even if he was, how would that disprove any of his statements?
He said he is full blown autistic when doing math and coding.
Outstanding. Listened to it three times. Eric is one of the great minds of my generation. Thank you.
Eric just laid at one of the best explanations for Trump I've ever heard.
Wow, Eric is such a phenomenal thinker.
I've been waiting in this interview for a while. Two of my favorite public intelectuals with a bevy of disagreements to discuss.
Your best interview ever! Such tremendous brain food to ponder. Thanks to both of you! So sick of partisan main stream media duping Americans.
Would love to see a three hour Sunday morning IDW Meet the Press-type show every week. Discussions like this need to be happening with more regularity.
THANK YOU BEN. I'm berniecrat progressive that believes progressivism 2.0 is needed and needs to evolve to the form of Bret & Eric Weinstein-- this was literally the IDW conversation I've been aching for the most. One day I hope you guys go longer and REALLY hash things out where you have big differences, but this did not disappoint at all. I applaud you for diving head first into economics, regulation, and redistribution. This is what sense-making between the libertarian left and libertarian right needs to look like. Cheers!
You know what’s more annoying than the ads? People complaining about them. I guess the few minutes of inconvenience really displace the free and quality experience for some people. You know it rains at Disney World too? And people still enjoy it. Imagine that.
Gary Grant seriously its like the end of the world to these people lol
Wraiths Blade Absolutely. It’s the kind of minuscule things that irritate folks when they don’t live a purpose.
Ryan Baker They “should” be as Ben wants them to be- unless you’re siting that they are limiting his success. But I think he’s aware of the incessant complaints by now and he’s deciding that it’s his show. To keep complaining from here is juvenile.
Gary Grant serious complaints about the ads are idiotic, but I very much enjoy all of the memes generated by them.
Right?
How do you get to episode 11 and still make a deal about it? Literally takes 2 minutes and sometimes they even bring it up in conversation. Also theyre not garbage ads, obviously products he endorses.
Great show!! Being a conservative I didn't know how well I would take this interview. I'm still not a fan of Sam Harris and never will be but Eric is very interesting. Definitely going to follow him more!
If there's a person to manipulate the mind of a conservative, it's Eric Weinstein.
Cumulative on-screen IQ: 330
Doc Halliday that's slightly too high I think, Eric being a mathematician will be around 150 seeing as he isn't wildly successful and Ben is hard to estimate but I would imagine he is slightly lower due to the fact that lightning fast debating skills isn't a core part of what iq measures
GbfhTime IQ is a strong predictor of success. Educational attainment, wealth, and even longevity are all highly correlated with IQ.
-330 *
Let's just all agree it's over 300
Hyrum Wood I think what he meant is to say is that higher IQ does not equal higher success. I think the original comment made it sound like a man with an IQ of 150 and a man with an IQ of 160, the latter will have earn more than the 150 regardless of life choices.
This could’ve gone on another hour!
I think they should keep talking & have it available only for subscribers. Only if there is time for both of them & the discussion is good.
Or two, just fantastic.
Each segment could go for an hour. Just the discussion on high-skilled immigration could make a multi-hour podcast.
it is a humanitarian crisis that it didnt!
Charlton Blake, basically! 😂
Glad these things are directly uploaded on Sunday. So I can watch in the morning. Love Sunday special!
Ben, I think this has been my favorite Sunday Special so far. Really really enjoyed your interview with Eric Weinstein.
Anecdote: I’m an atheist since about the age of 12 growing up in an agnostic family who told me to make up my own mind about things. I came to the conclusion that I ethically want to be the best man I can be. How I define this is then a mission in life that I love. My favorite part of life and quite a journey. Also a journey to figure out what I think the underlying nature of reality is through open minded conversation and studies in math and science. In the end I consider my ethics similar to Christian ethics but without homophobia or the close mindedness towards science and looking down on other people because they don’t believe the “truth” I do. Then I also don’t have to look to a church with a corrupt past and a molesty present. Just my thoughts.
Best Sunday special yet...❤
Love the intellectual dark-web
Blaneʚ Steph they’re all like a breath of fresh unexplored air lol
I like how they are practical less of a "group" and more of a phenomena caused and popularised by a certain pattern. Gives nice space for constructive disagreement.
Absolutely. To me, they offer an oasis of sanity in a media landscape that is vapid, disingenuous, and corrupt.
Intellectual Smart Web, would be better though,
or Unbiased Truth Web or True Reason Web. Anyway, the not so wise brand is now out. The new group is not putting facts into the dark, it is bringing them out to the light. Dont understand how Eric Weinstein is so proud of it, I would feel rather bad.
First I thought it is a defaming title of the MSM people, before I became aware about its true history. Truth Web, would be better though!
please research more.
Watching this show has become a Sunday routine for me-love it.
More Eric!
I could easily sit and listen to Eric talk for hours. Lots of interesting stuff comes out of that head. Great discussion, thanks!
I've been using the term "neo-McCarthyism of the left." I'm glad to see somebody else labeling this for what it is. Pre-millennial leftists were OUTRAGED over McCarthyism 1.0, and rightfully so. Version 2.0 is just as bad.
Out of Blue Pills On one hand, I like where you are going with this...
On the other hand, now that the historical record is out, McCarthy 1.0 was actually quite naive about the extent of CPUSA influence in Hollywood and generally. His punishment for attempting to even expose the tip of the iceberg was, they made his very name synonymous with paranoia for generations hence.
That is what real influence allows one to do. Stalin's Active Measures campaign was quite real and quite successfull. Their blacklist campaign was an order of magnitude larger than McCarthy's.
Martian Anthropologist, OK, so change my last sentence to, "Version 2.0 is worse."
Out of Blue Pills 😁
So... Someone who was trying to expose a very real enemy,. ...that was tarred as
Good analogy about driving (different sides of the road) and diversity
Probably my favorite Sunday Special so far
It is rare day when Ben Shapiro is not the smartest person at the table. Eric Weinstein Is incredible
Great episode. Would love to see him talk with Douglas Murray.
I have become a huge fan of the Sunday Specials and this may be the best one yet. I really enjoy listening to two intelligent people with opposing ideas but whom still maintain clear, genuine and palpable respect for one another. I felt as if this conversation looked to solve questions and propose new ones. Keep it up!
IDW in DAAAA HOUSE! You guys need a world tour... I'll be an unpaid roady .... Considering everyone's relative notoriety in their fields I can thiink of no better role models ! Keep the conversation going. You're def changing hearts and minds!
PezAnt Tree... A Facebook "getting to know you" post listed "Dream Job" and I decided "Water girl for the Intellectual Dark Web". That's a thing for a middle aged woman, right?
IDW is cringy AF. Eric is trying to hijack a movement that started long before him. Typical lefty bullshit.
I'm down.
I love when people like Eric get in front of Shapiro. I genuinely think Shapiro wants to be a beacon of truth and light in the world, but I feel that he sometimes slips into his own slightly alt-right echo chamber.
These kind of interviews really bring out the best in Shapiro (in my super humble opinion), he's all discussion/curiosity and almost no narrative.
Stephen Henkel i don’t think you know what slightly alt right means, or know any of bens opinions compared to what the alt right version of that opinion would be. Watch his recent speeches on the alt right, it’s not even close
Alt right? Jesus, Ben is a mainstream conservative.
@@devmma8032
I don't think he's mainstream at all. The IDW is alternative, but not necessarily neo-nazi alternative.
@@TheCalculatorGuy He is mainstream regardless of what you think or not. I have been watching him regularly for years. The moment you can't differentiate between the right and alt right you've lost. You call anyone and everyone alt right when you can't even define the term. You can't name a single one of Ben's position properly, yet you call him alt right. You can't name a single alt right position properly, yet you have the audacity to use that label.
Well, fuck off, ctrl-lefty. I'd be nice to you but when you label someone alt right you've already been more offensive than any insult I could throw at you
Man, you need to add on another hour to these shows Ben. Especially when you have on these kinds of people. Seriously? This was great. I mean really friggin' great. My favorite so far. Also, you did a really good job with the ads this time. Much better.
Definitely one of the most fascinating and provocative of Ben’s Sunday interviews. But it needed to be longer!! Both of you raised so many interesting, subtle, and important issues that it got frustrating when, having raised one such issue, time constraints would force you to rush to something else. I get it that this show is supposed to be an hour long, but maybe when you have a guest like Weinstein on you could devote two successive weeks to the discussion. Anyway thanks for a very stimulating show, the first I’ve listened to twice in immediate succession.
NEED MORE WEINSTEIN! Best episode yet
I always look forward to Sunday Special and coffee Sunday morning. Love the variety of people and conversations. Highly recommended it.
Ben really does have the strangest, most obscure sponsors I've ever seen
Eric is among the most respect left-leaning thinkers out there. I can respect his message and arguments and am willing to hear him out.
Eric Weinstein is the freaking Man! Always such an engaging, thought provoking rational approach
Triple length episode with Eric or riot. This was my favorite Sunday special yet.
I would like to see Eric create Prager U style videos (but much longer of course) to explain the economic problems he describes for the vast majority of us who need to start at the most basic level. And Ben, check out The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge by Dallas Willard and bring his students into the conversation. I appreciate the IDW but as a follower of Jesus, I see clearly that you are missing an important voice in your search for truth without the Christian perspective in your discussions. Jordan Peterson has certainly invited Christians into the discussion but he does not personally represent a Christ following (as opposed to Christian) worldview (which would be very "Jewish" when it comes to care of the poor.) And I think that the people at Reasons to Believe would be delighted with Eric's approach to science.
Melanie Fyock you could read a book on economics? Thomas Sowells Basic Economics is a good intro, then The housing boom and Bust is a short introduction into what is wrong with the current system.
What a fantastic idea!
He's on BigThink
Someone give Eric a show
Nobody "gave" Sam Harris, Dave Rubin or Sam Harris a show. They created their own.
Hope you've been checking out The Portal 👍
I love this. Conversation is so important.
I could listen to both of these guys, especially Eric, all day every day.
This has been the best one yet.
I get that no one likes ads. But if you are getting free content, you gotta get over it.
I feel like this needed to be a few hours longer to really get into a lot of these subjects. Maybe if time constraints limit you to an hour since you're so busy, possibly sticking to a single subject and doing a bit of a deeper dive.
Agreed!
Your Sunday Specials are one of my favorite things to view. Hearing articulate, thought provoking conversations between two individuals is refreshing and sorely needed. It's this type of dialogue I appreciate. Thank you to you and your many guests.
Steven Hicks next, please. His assessment of postmodernism and communism are brilliant.
Great conversation, final moments where Ben is really happy and says he is always happy to see his friends and it cuts to Eric with a smile felt so genuine. Love to see a thriving friendship among intellectuals. Thanks for the thought food and inspiration.
51:33 "...because I believe that the brain has a sort of Chomskyan pre-grammar of religion..."
Jordan Peterson's discussion of archetypes led me to this intuition, so it's reassuring to hear Eric Weinstein say it too.
RochesFan Yeah, Peterson has a similar opinion on that, but Eric words it much more succinctly.
Their views seem quite complementary. The "Chomskian pre-grammar" Peterson would argue is expressed within our symbolic representations in stories/neuro-psychology
I would say that Peterson shows a deeper understanding of it. Not really surprising considering his specialty. I think the Weinsteins are the smartest guys in the room but that Peterson is the wisest...
TheAlibabatree if you want a fairly complex idea worded perfectly succinctly, Eric Weinstein is your guy.
If you want a fairly complex idea worded perfectly poetically, Jordan Peterson is your guy.
Eu re:poetically... or g k Chesterton
This is the Ben Shapiro that I like, not purely political, more philosophical
fck yeaaaaa. we need Eric again Ben. I usually dont say fck.
Ben please continue this! It is magnificent to truly hear people on different sides having such a productive and intellectual conversation. It is so beautiful.
Wow, a lot of sense on display here
Thank you Eric and Ben- fantastic discussion. The IDW is on the right track and I am in!
Wow, this was truly great, i think we need much more of these system based conversation, it was amazing, please ben do more of these, eric weinstein is stellar, woa. Thank you ben, it was serious stuff, I wished you could have gone even more in depth. Now I am gonna go back to maths lol !
This is one of the best Sunday specials so far. It's such a good conversation. To me it's a cry from humanity saying that we need to move forward into what we know is golden. Ben does a great job of showing how political differences get in the way of this by letting Eric speak about what is beyond the politics. Eventually I hope that these truly great people will result in a culture where they no longer have to defend themselves. Would you let your differences take you away from the great relationships you have in your own life?
I love the random ads. Its funny after a while
I somehow got an ad in the middle of Ben's ad. XD
i know its weird, but now i do feel the urgency to get life insurance
I surrender. I've finally subscribed to this channel. Amazing, insightful convo.
I'm in New York and usually get up at 6. Since you pre-record all of these, any chance you could schedule the upload around 03:00 PST so we early birds can listen while we get ready? Love you anyway lulz :D
This was fantastic. Lots of new ideas. I've heard Eric propose changes to the economy and heard Bret second the idea, but this is the first time I've seen him expand on his idea of what changes he would propose. Just lovely.
I always like hearing Eric's perspective. On a side note, I find it a bit strange that he often refers to his brother formally as "Bret Weinstein" and Bret to him as "Eric Weinstein." I'm betting those weirdos came to some agreement about it.
Was wondering the same thing... for marketing purposes I guess.
Eric is razor-sharp and a much needed voice in the IDW. I appreciate Peterson and Shapiro's personal responsibility message but they miss specific examples of structural problems.
Good to see Ben taking all the feedbacks and comments from the previous Sunday specials and subsequently stopping this constant nodding, uhu uhu etc
SHAH MIAH now if only he’d start pre-recording the ads instead of interrupting a productive conversation...
Ben's had a lot of awesome guests. I've watched them all from the beginning, but Eric is the best. Hands down.
Eric's brilliant
Appreciate Ben Shapiro and Eric Weinstein! Awesome gentlemen.
This video was great. Love the discussion. The mid discussion ads are a bit jarring, but I know you gotta keep the lights on.
This is what makes the internet great, the ability to be a fly on the wall and hear a conversation between true intellectuals.
He is straight rockin that jew fro.
Eric's economic ideas are fantastic. And the 4 things to change are right on point. Great conversation.
I've seen his very points in the sciences myself. The encouragement in the graduate community in physics is to think small. Just push the envelope of knowledge incrementally. This is in my reckoning a bad thing because we are de-incentivising the deBroglies, people who want to write a world-shattering PhD thesis and are instead being told to play it safe.
Not sure that's necessarily wrong though. Almost all science is a matter of small increment, almost by definition. As the picture gets better, there are more and more details to fill in, and fewer and fewer revolutions to discover.
On top of that, the vast majority of people probably are quite incapable of the big paradigm shifts. That requires both a very high intelligence, and very special abilities to think in different manners. These people seem to both have very open minds, but also an extremely technical one (i.e. being able to strictly follow the mathematics). This I think is an exceedingly rare, almost contradictory, combination.
Duncan W I recommend you the book Against Method by Paul Feyerabend
It's still sad to think of those who might be the very mind you describe stifled by this sentiment. I think that if you meet some qualitative characteristics that it is possible to learn to be the open mind. We have cultivated a culture that does the opposite, teaching grad students to truncate their dreams.
To some extent these grad students you describe could be truncating their own dreams by placating to their advisors' wishes. I was a humanities grad student, so it's a little different, but I gave a lot of pushback on the critical commentary to my thesis. I think to some extent, students at that level just want to say screw it and be done with it. However, if you are committed to your work and offer valid reasons for rebelling against norms, your advisors will typically be open to that (and hopefully be pleasantly surprised to not simply have yet another Yes Man in their midst).
This was by far the most interesting, productive, and illuminating conversation, so far. Very impressed. The distinction between being a conservative, which iam , and right winger is one of the best I have ever heard. More with Eric please. You need to bring him back for round 2 .
I loved this episode.
Ben is by far the respectful host I've ever listened to. It's so obvious that he disagrees strongly with Weinstein but allows him the space to fully flesh out his ideas. Great!
There's this weird space between right and left but it's not center. It's something else. As much as I think Ben is very confused, I think he and many of us are kind of getting our bearings within this new meta-political space. Keep it up and we might get out of this mess.
It’s the future👍
I am new to Eric Weinstein, really like his interviews very intelligent and thought provoking.
