- Eric Weinstein is a mathematician, economist, public speaker, podcast host, and coined the term "intellectual dark web" and is very good at simultaneously freaking Duncan out with his terrifying prognostications regarding the future of humanity and invigorating Duncan with his notion that humans are much closer to becoming a galactic civilization than most people realize.
Original music by Aaron Michael Goldberg ( / aarongoldberg ) and Duncan Trussell.

Eric Weinstein offered to call some of his Twitter followers that were having a hard time during the holidays on Christmas Eve 2022.
He called and talked with
my 17-year-old son and I for 30 minutes (while we both had covid) and was a bright light when I needed it. He gave my son great advice about his pending college career, becoming an eagle scout, choosing your friends carefully and how to be an honorable young man.
I will always be grateful for that act of kindness.
That’s…a rare action. Thank you for sharing.
That’s lovely. Thank you for sharing!
He phoned me up to discuss _Geometric Unity_ on the 15th January 2023 after I had made a 280 character tweet summarising it for the layman.
He assumed I might be a physicist, but I explained that I was an Art School drop out who had nothing to do during the pandemic lockdowns, so I had found it very helpful to keep me from getting bored and depressed by challenging myself to learn what I needed to know to make sense of his work in progress which aspires to become a _Unified Field Theory._ that seeks to replace _General Relativity_ with something less restrictive which allows for a much more elaborate and symmetric _Quantum Field Theory._
I haven't had the best of mental health during my life and have had multiple psychotic nervous breakdowns where I have been sectioned in secure mental health units for months at a time. Consequently, it has been incredibly useful to have this intellectual challenge to work on as I rehabilitate from my last nervous breakdown which came about because of a terrible guilt that I hadn't been unable to visit my Aunt and Uncle in Residential Care before they died, because the jab was not yet available, and the care home refused me visiting unless I had been jabbed, and my brother didn't understand and I thought I was going to lose every surviving member of my family, given our parents had died before the pandemic.
I think I am close to being mentally rehabilitated as a result of making sense of _Geometric Unity._ This means I can resume work on my multiparadigm programming language which I had to suspend to care for my terminally ill mother in 2017. It is hard to imagine that I have been away from that project for seven years, but I appreciate that I would be rusty and likely fail to think straight with organised thought patterns were I to attempt to resume work on it weeks after being discharged from a secure psychiatric unit. Thankfully, I recently had an hour long session with my psychiatrist and he was very impressed with the insights I have into my mental condition and multiple maladaptive personality disorders. I should be a mess, more than I am, but I work at being the best version of myself that I can be and try not to think about the life I could have had if I hadn't inherited chronic mental illness from my father.
I also found Eric to be very kind, patient as I struggled to set up our conversation, and a good listener.
I get the sense that he enjoys talking to anyone. I think he accepts that other people, perhaps lacking in credentials have rare insights which he wouldn't otherwise learn were he to not talk to them because they weren't sufficiently credentialed. He is definitely not the typical insular Harvard educated occupant of an elitist ivory tower, despite having plenty of access to top minds in academia and economics and politics. He also is generous with his time and I suspected he reached out to his twitter followers. It is a pity the DISCORDs associated with his podcast got invaded by opportunistic sapiosexual grifters. I only heard about them after he had abandoned them, and I went to one and was hit with moderators recommending that I needed to read 18 books on mathematical physics to be at a sufficient level to grasp _Geometric Unity_ which is complete nonsense as it is an attempt at an elitist gatekeeping of the subject. I explained _Geometric Unity_ to Eric in three minutes, using terms that a layman could understand, and he was happy with my quick summary.
Hopefully, he will resume his podcast _The Portal,_ perhaps after the next US election. I feel as if there needs to be a constitutional electoral decision which both sides are happy with. It doesn't need to be a 100% fair election, as that is impossible, there will always be some shenanigans, but if it is felt that the next President was put in office by having a majority of the Electoral College votes, which isn't necessarily the same thing as the majority of the popular vote, then according to the US Constitution and assuming the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants either don't attempt to illegally vote, or are prevented from illegally voting, then I think that whichever side loses might be able to accept the result. Otherwise, we are seriously looking at a civil war as many were close to starting one in 2020. It is quite likely that if Kam'ala uses the 10,000,000 illegal immigrants to keep her in the White House then we may see something akin to the Romanian revolution take place in the United States.
That's awesome ❤

Duncan, can we please have legal permission to do this??
@@MattLuceenno disrespect to the artists who drew and animated the show but I would watch that
It is not that you have to simplify something for a 5-year-old to understand, just simplify enough for the layman to understand... If you can't do that and you require extreme language and fluffery to push your point then your point is weak....
By the way a llm stands for a large language model which basically all it does is predict which word should come next in a sentence it has no actual intelligence... Brass we are starting to put together flms with other models that are generating physics and other parameters... String together these multiple models we create artificial super intelligent models..... I can't believe Eric is saying that large language models do anything other than predict which word should come next in a series.
This podcast felt like the two halves of my brain meeting up and having a discussion.
totally!! haha
perfect description
We're going to need more marinara.
Hard relate
Who are you Satan?
The " murderous, psychopathic, backstabbing treachery " is baked into the cake, Eric. You can't escape TO somewhere. You bring it with you. The most brilliant minds never consider that the calls are coming from inside the house.
There is no escaping that reality! And this idol worshipping of Elon is so misguided. The man is just a man and flawed like all of us.
Eric is brilliant. But his blindspots are large.
Oh wow, that’s quite the gaslighting you have there
His point was that the calls you're referring to wouldn't be there if you have something beautiful. Love will triumph hate within unless you're psychotic which he also referenced. I wouldn't put the word never in such absolute terms like you just did. Especially about scientists the ones who think critically for food.
how is incorporating human nature and the shadow that every person has within them gaslighting?o

Very underrated time stamp
Let's dive deeper into the fractal nature of quantum mechanics and how it influences electron behavior and applications:
Specific Examples of Fractals in Quantum Systems
* Hofstadter Butterfly:
* This mesmerizing fractal pattern emerges in the energy spectrum of electrons in a two-dimensional lattice subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field. The pattern, named after physicist Douglas Hofstadter, demonstrates the intricate interplay between the periodic potential of the lattice and the magnetic field, leading to self-similar energy level structures.
* Quantum Hall Effect:
* In the quantum Hall effect, electrons confined to two dimensions and subjected to a strong magnetic field exhibit quantized Hall conductance. The transitions between these quantized plateaus can exhibit fractal behavior, reflecting the complex dynamics of electrons in this system.
* Anderson Localization:
* In disordered materials, where electrons encounter random scattering potentials, their wavefunctions can become localized, leading to Anderson localization. These localized wavefunctions often exhibit fractal patterns, reflecting the underlying disorder in the system.
* Quantum Dots and Artificial Atoms:
* The energy levels of electrons confined in quantum dots, also known as artificial atoms, can exhibit fractal distributions due to the complex interplay of quantum confinement and electron-electron interactions.
Influence of Fractal Wavefunctions on Quantum Devices:
* Quantum Transport: The fractal nature of electron wavefunctions can influence their transport properties in nanoscale devices. For example, in quantum wires or quantum dots, the fractal distribution of energy levels can lead to unusual conductance fluctuations and transport phenomena.
* Quantum Information Processing: The complex wavefunction patterns in fractal systems could be leveraged to encode and manipulate quantum information in novel ways. Fractal qubits, for instance, could offer enhanced control over quantum states and improved coherence times.
* Quantum Sensing: The fractal nature of wavefunctions in quantum sensors could lead to increased sensitivity and the ability to detect signals across multiple scales.
Challenges in Observing and Characterizing Fractal Properties:
* Experimental Resolution: Observing fractal patterns in quantum systems requires high-resolution experimental techniques, capable of probing the system at multiple length and energy scales.
* Decoherence: Maintaining the coherence of quantum states long enough to observe and characterize fractal properties can be challenging, as interactions with the environment can lead to decoherence and loss of quantum behavior.
* Theoretical Modeling: Developing accurate theoretical models to describe the fractal nature of quantum systems and their implications for electron behavior requires sophisticated mathematical tools and computational methods.
In conclusion:
The emergence of fractal properties in quantum systems highlights the rich and complex interplay between quantum mechanics and geometry. These fractal patterns offer insights into the fundamental nature of quantum phenomena and open up exciting possibilities for developing new technologies and applications. Further research in this area could lead to breakthroughs in quantum computing, sensing, and materials science, pushing the boundaries of our understanding and control of the quantum world.

I think Duncan trussell and Eric Weinstein together is a good combination because just like Duncan trussell said if you taking too much acid just pick your legs up and float down the river stop trying to fight it and embrace what's going to happen because we have no free will we are implements of destiny and nothing can be changed... There is a set amount of universal potentiality and your acceleration towards Infinity is limited........
Terrific dialogue.
To the naysayers, the combative dialogue is a feature not a bug.
weinstien loves the smell of his own farts
this is a miracle, that this conversation even happened

Look if someone is talking about Ubi and not talking about a Ubi based off a total automated production percentage of the GDP so we can calculate how much tools have helped us increase our production capacity and how many humans it would take to replicate that production capacity without those tools then they are totally against Ubi and they will destroy our economy with a junkie version of their Ubi which is flawed.......
“ you have no idea what’s coming” . Eric Weinstein is Alex Jones for smart people
Smart ppl don't have Alex Jones'
@@michaelherndon9573 - heh, you're obviously not smart people.
Alex Jones wants a fair hearing, the haters mostly never provide it
Good way of putting it
AJ is definitely wild. However, it's even more wild the percentage of being correct.
I don’t know why so many people don’t like Eric. He’s a serious, pragmatic thinker. I don’t think we have enough serious, pragmatic thinkers these days. Love you Eric! We need to get a list of the most important thinkers together and fund them like crazy to make the future we all want and need.
He bothers me with all his anti woke moralizing. Maybe he will skip it for Duncan. I just started it.
We don’t like him because he is scared to death of something he doesn’t even understand. Like bro…humanity has survived some terrible shit before, stop being a baby.
As Tim Dillon brilliantly said no one knows what Eric Weinstein is. He talks on podcasts about anti-woke stuff and physics that no one understands. He's telling us he's a genius but he hasn't got anything to show for it. He says a lot of jargon and has a deep and serious voice and that's supposed to be enough.
“Anti-woke”.. c’mon guys. Give me a real reason to dislike him.
He has a Savior complex and his mind is addicted to problem solving. I still enjoy all his content even if I think he is fundamentally flawed on several topics.
"I'm listeing to a Schopenhauer audiobook, which I would not recommend."
Never change, Duncan.
"Please don't have a conversation about intelligence that insults my intelligence" I love that quote from Eric
"Earth is a womb" now I understand the ending scene of space odyssey 2001. 😅
Duncan, this is one of your best conversations i have ever watched. This was a great guest and we can tell you were truly engaged. Whatever drove you to this please continue this path.
I'm listening to Eric, I'm listening to Duncan. Sorry, Duncan is kinda dumb. He's trying, but he's so child like.
@NancyK-cu6xj this is the kind of attitude holding us back. When you criticise a creative it destroys them. It makes them hound after a perfectionism that knotts up their insides and drives the to despaired. It cripples them. Learn to encourage or contend with the ire of moderators.
Childlike questions often lead adults to find wonderful answers.
Duncan has always been in this realm lol
@@NancyK-cu6xj Listen to yourself, Nancy..... I guarantee you can't even work Microsoft word to its full capacity lmao
Eric and Elon need to have a 4 hour public conversation on this stuff.
Elon is a charlatan
You haven't heard huh Elon don't like Eric lol
I hate to be the bearer of bad news buddy. Elon cannot keep up, even in the slightest. He dropped out of his physics graduate program during the first year. Eric runs laps around Elon.
It is not that you have to simplify something for a 5-year-old to understand, just simplify enough for the layman to understand... If you can't do that and you require extreme language and fluffery to push your point then your point is weak.....
I completely disagree with Eric Weinstein we can have local area uaps but they are charged with lightning strikes to spin up a Mercury toroid anti-gravity capacitor and are limited in their range... We are isolated in our solar system so we do not have the necessary materials and periodic table of elements in order to give us the technology that aliens from different solar systems have because each solar system has its own periodic table of elements with different isotopic ratios for each element... Therefore I do not think Elon musk is doing a bad job he is doing the best he can with the cards he's dealt....
Im wayyyyy so stoned. Eric just said Bitch n Heat.
Duncan: right.
Nah the Beyonce "quote" TOOK ME OUT
& "Wormholes are for pussies" BROUGHT ME ROGHT BACK
It always feels like Eric's prefacing something that he never comes to. In short, he edges, intellectually. But in the process, however, he actually says lotsa paradigm-shifting things.
Okay, if he said Gross and Susskind and Nambu and Green and Schwarz and Maldecena and Witten and Vafa and Greene and Carroll and Kaku should all retire and let others work on alternatives to the _String Theory_ framework such as his _Geometric Unity_ program which may become a fully defined _Unified Field Theory_ then he would get criticised for ravingly egomaniacal narcissistic self promotion, but if he tries to keep his criticism of _String Theory_ separate from his own work in progress then you get Michio Kaku disingenuously pretend that he shouldn't raise concerns about physics being in a dead end for 40 years unless he has a fully developed and quantised theory of his own, which is unrealistic for a single person to manage, including Witten.
Then you have the "we need to colonise exoplanets with the aid of new physics" but can't be precise about what that new physics is, only what it isn't. So, really what is going on is that he wants engagement with his ideas, and help if there is something to them, which would include calculations being made to quantise it so he could say what energy levels his P-symmetric fermionic fields manifested at, and then seek to find them in particle accelerators. However, even if he did predict and find the elusive and mysterious Dark Matter (with the help of a quantum field theorist), that wouldn't aid interstellar colonisation at all. Also, I would guess we will bring all of our problems with us, which will include: chemical, nuclear, biological, cybernetic, genomic and nanotechnological weaponry. I think humanity might be a plague best confined to one solar system. We need civilisational and cultural change to the average personality of human beings, and mobs of human beings, before we consider interstellar expansion. Out of the womb, but into the crib where we can't do too much damage, where we go after that depends on us either being more responsible or having chaperone AIs which look out for us with their collective cultural wisdom drawn from the best of us across history.
He's trying to use lamens terms that's why.
@@____uncompetativewhy did you expand so dang much on this person's simple comment lol
@@____uncompetativethats well said. Not sure I 100% agree but maybe
@@jasongarcia2140 I'm not sure. I guess I had some things to say kabout the podcast and saw this comment by @hvalenti as being an interesting observation to respond to. I agree that Eric does come off as a "tease" as he doesn't say how _Geometric Unity_ would allow humanity to colonise exoplanets, and I don't think he knows. Einstein did know E = mc² could allow the creation of nuclear weapons as there was a lot of energy E trapped within mass m, so he was very responsible and wrote a warning letter to the US President.
"What do you want me to do, sh*t my pants?" Is the funniest thing I've ever heard anyone say to Eric Weinstein. (Big fan of both of them) @ 1:02:20

I love the clash of Duncan’s positivity and Weinstein’s sadness
Right... right... gotcha...yea..right.
It makes you wonder how much of Eric's views come from physics and math and how much - from his Jewish outlook. Duncan reminded me of John Cleese's character words from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (ruclips.net/video/L2TxUFp1fXk/видео.htmlsi=zfeBbQ7Ac7mR_Epa). The precipice. It's where the fruit is the sweetest.
I’m so ready for this, love me some Duncan, great guest 🧠
“I’m saying the hottest chick in your high school may have taken a liking to you. You’re not going to go to the gym? You’re not going to make some money? You’re not going to put some effort into it? No. You’re going to say, where’s my Xbox … I want to play Call of Duty?”
That hits. Gotta get that bread, gotta get those muscles. [The clock is ticking, the opportunity has never been greater but the risks have never been greater too.]
"The hottest chick" holds little to no value in today's day and age. Men are more willing to pass on that esthetic because it comes with so many problems and little payoff in today's society.
This was an epic quote/point he was making. Honestly thinking about it more it almost sounds like it came out of a movie. Eric is absolutely inspiring on how he can bring any isee to be relatable and crystal clear. His language skills are incredible.
"This is our Womb not our Home." Words to remember. Thank you both
My cats breath smells like cats food!
Watching Eric Weinstein articulate the wisdom of The Kung Fu Panda is all the validation I needed for this week. lol
It's a funny thing when you find yourself agreeing with two people who disagree with each other. I admire you both very much.

"This our womb not our home" is one of the most profound things I've ever heard. With all of the catastrophic incidents this planet has gone through I completely share his sentiment for not keeping all our eggs in this basket.
...and our water has broken.

This is the silliest perspective that Eric takes. He doesn't want to help/save people. He wants to save "humanity." He wants to save this abstraction, not the actual thing.
@benvoiles9166 for the species, humanity and all the people a part of it. Makes sense to me.
Duncan, you should invite on Dr Egon Cholakian
The first time I saw Duncan or knew anything about him, he was on JRE. I thought this guy is so over the top brilliant - his mind ranged all over the universe and back again - I literally listened to him run full tilt straight into madness, and back, through the course of the podcast. I believe he may have one foot over that precipice every minute of the day and I wouldn't change a thing about him as his madness is his greatest strength.
I've been listening to Eric for years. I can imagine Eric knows he's in the presence of another brilliant mind unrestrained by the rails of a rigorous formal education. They enjoy each other.
So it doesn't surprise me that when Eric lays out the pending catastrophe, it excites Russell rather than giving him pause.
It reminds me of that video of the tsunami in Japan where the water inexplicably recedes, and nearly all of the people watching are mesmerized both by the receding water, & by the accelerating swell until it is a towering Wall of water coming at them. But one man starts to run back toward the camera as the water initially recedes. He has seen the wave, and he knows exactly what it is, while the rest gaze out to sea. As you watch you can see the gradual realization coming up on them in fits and starts, as people start to run. Too late but it was always too late.
Eric is the first man running away - Russell is standing there marveling at the event, laughing as he realizes what it is, so excited for whatever comes.
Both men have seen the end.
Both men will die.
Neither one can stop what's coming.
Wow what an image. How do you sleep at night?
The only thing missing from Eric’s doom annd gloom analysis is that we don’t always live with tsunamis and the apocalypse that he & co are expecting is not a done deal. The one element missing is uncertainty. We just don’t know. For example, when AI figures out that we are inferior in intelligence to it, instead of destroying us, like in some bad Hollywood B movie, it protects and teaches us to be ever smarter, ever greater. We just don’t know what it will do. And that has never changed: we must live with uncertainty. Forrest Gump: life’s like a box of chocolates, you just don’t know what you’re gonna get.
Right...right...right..right...yeah...right. yeah...gotcha.........right......yeah. So gotcha yeah. -Duncan T.
This guy Duncan, a real donut hole
37:30 Duncan says " i want to agree, i want to be smart".. this is a big part of the worlds problem today.

Believing in things you don't believe in at all is literally philosophy. "It is the mark of an educated mind that can entertain an idea without accepting it." - Aristotle. (probably fucked that up, but it's close enough)
I think Eric wants other theoretical physicists to do that until they hit on something new.
Religion comes to mind before philosophy
I can't believe you said that

And honestly like, yeah, I see what he means about wanting to leave. The world is crazy as hell, but that's just life. We could chase every star, every planet, every faint, distant glimmer to the very edges of creation. All things will end. It is unavoidable. I think Eric, in his atheistic world-view, is terrified of a cold, endless expanse where nobody gets to enjoy the delights of life ever again. But, regardless of what we do, that will always be the end result.
Unless you have a change of mind.
You've got insight man
Eric is an extremly smart man. I believe he may be living in a time when the extremely smart men are being told to shush, by the men who think they are smart, but are not.
Great episode!

Bingo.
Here’s the thing I don’t get about Eric & his drive for to push physics away from string theory - there’s enough money out there to build a lab & hire a bunch of mathematicians & physicists, so why doesn’t some rich guy or guys see the return on investment with his ideas? Just doesn’t make sense . Where is his paper introducing his theories? Why can’t he get funding - even a small amount of funding? Just look at all the stupid stuff angel investors invest in, why won’t they invest in Eric & his ideas? Something just doesn’t make sense with all this.
He talks as though he loves the flavor of his own words. 😊

It doesn't matter if you escape. You'll be playing the same game in any space. You're taking a chess board with you. Doesn't matter if you are in china or andromeda. Chess is chess. The game theory that's running the world now will run every world you run to. Same check mate. There's a way out. There's a civilization that has clearly figured a way out of this but it would require giving up sovereignty to a higher power. We won't give Sovereignty up for God. Why would we for another civilization. So we're back to playing chess. Isn't this earth the escape hatch from the last?
Your comment makes me think about Battlestar Galactica
Eric was that nerdy kid who had all the Star Wars toys but wouldn't let you touch them. He'd make you watch HIM play while he narrated. 😂

But not out of maliciousness; but because you didn’t respect them enough 😂
Reflect on that feeling. You might be projecting :)

I so badly wish I could understand what Eric is saying
You have to listen to Eric all the time to get it.
@jamesandalotofgames9211 Or, like I do, rewind each time I don't understand something until I do. And if there's some terminology or concept I don't get, to look it up and try and wrap the mind around it.
Basically, for these types of podcasts, for a dumbshit like me, 2 hours turns into more 6 hours. But it's way better, and a more understandable, podcast that way.
Hey Duncan, I've been watching this for twenty minutes and Eric hasn't gotten in a word edge wise. I've watched Eric for couple of years and he has much much to say.
EW is one of the coolest, smartest and least understandable guests in the circuit. The guy really has no ability to dumb things down or use non specific scientific language. It's a critical flaw.
They guy needs to learn the power of parables, anecdotes and the power of simplified, non meandering examples.
This is the super power the best science communicators master and to date he rarely hits the mark for most.
A shame as I like his mind and even approach, if not delivery.
It's just like comedy: Jokes are funny because the language leads to epiphany. When a joke has to be explained in detail it's no longer funny and loses all it's staying power. This is why we need Duncan!
17:00 its an interesting idea, that AI doesnt need to become (or perhaps can never become) sentient, if we ourselves arent.
And Erics example of auto-completing sentences is valid in many cases, for convenience, the same way our legs are actually in part autonomously controlled by our spinal cord so we dont have to "think" about every step we take.
But this argument only works if you are one of the many people who have a 100% materialist viewpoint, and have never experienced any proof of conciousness outside your own thoughts.
For those of us who HAVE experienced proof that our conciousness goes beyond the limitations of our neural computation, it doesnt fit anymore to simply reduce ourselves down to "we are automatons operating on input / output without being alive".
And most people wont believe in such experiences. But it doesnt matter, they are real.
I myself for example, have had undeniable absolutely concrete precognitive dreams. Very rarely, i can count them on 1 hand throughout my life, but only 1 was needed to prove there is far more to our sense of awake mind than just pattern matching automation.
This isnt deja vu or mistaken broken memory recall.
This isnt vague nonsense with extremely plausible odds of simply being coincidences like thinking "i dreamt of a red car, then i saw a red car that day".
I'm talking about dreaming a lucid fully vivid "4k60fps video" in your mind, then remembering all of it as you wake up.
Keeping it in memory as you walk through the day.
Then having the exact same sequence of events, "pixel-perfect", not a single microscopic detail out of place or out of sequence, in real life.
Exactly as you had in your memory, before the real event happened.
Imagine, just to solidify to you how exact it is, if you watched a scene from Breaking Bad (or any other show you like, based in possible reality).
Then in real life you come across the same exact scene, the same people, the same sequence of events, every tiny detail down to the individual grains of sand or raindrops landing in the same exact place at the same time, as you just saw in the show..
Every "pixel", every "frame" a second, everything absolutely identical with no deviation in space or time.
If you have an experience like that, nobody can ever come along and try to convince you that conciousness is just reduced to being an equivalent to an LLM.
Because no matter how good ChatGPT is, it cant peer outside its boundaries in time and space with the algorithm its isolated on.
I frankly feel sorry for the fact most people havent had those experiences.
Because the sad irony is. Here you are, fully concious self-aware sentient awake entities, contemplating if you are in reality just dead automatons.
The idea that we can outrun human conflict seems wrong. You think someone won't chase you down into the cosmos if our goals are still to kill each other?
Trump will bring World Peace.
@@Methbilly Some wars have been over resources (fertile land, mineral deposits, oil) so I guess expanding out from Earth ought to mean more resources and less conflict, right? Except, is the population growth curve ahead of the colonisation spread? If colonists are scrabbling to survive on a barely habitable rock then their population growth could lead to civil unrest. Other colonies could steal from weaker one.

Yeah!!! Right on Duncan keep trucking.

Well I've never seen any tables or chairs with Jesus' name etched into them so we don't know what he was capable of.

Theoretical physics is just a fancy term for the tree of knowledge, imo.
Knowledge is worthless compared to knowing God.

The part about people not actually thinking just solving mental CAPTCHAs is probably the explanation for people without an inner monologue.
They are simply filling in the pre-programmed responses to solve the problems.
People who are thinking are having conversations with themselves to construct new innovative ways to solve the problems, and in comedy we are trying to find a way to get the puzzle so wrong people realize it's a puzzle to begin with.
To say that people without an inner monologue just don't think, period, is WIIIIILD AF and wholly untrue lol

I would like to add the research is very vague. They say people without in inner dialogue exist…but they can read with their mouth closed. Explain that. We probably misinterpret brain processing distribution. The “inner dialogue” is just a symbolism framework. There are many forms of symbolisms for understanding, some more inherent than others. Over focusing on words as thinking is too simplistic.
I would never want Eric Weinstein make it explainable to a 5-year-old.. Even if some of the stuff goes over our heads, after lots of digestion and lots of digging into terms to try to understand our knowledge does broaden some..
i love duncan but Eric is a snake in the grass. i don't trust a single word that comes out of his mouth.
I love you Duncan but you're fighting way above your weight buddy. I didn't find any of this funny and I'm not an atheist. I have chat GPT on my device. It's already been done, this thing is over. Mercy is what we need to ask for, not a boat.
"Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcome." Eric needs to talk more about how we ended up in this situation, which traces back much further than the discovery of the neutron. We need to delve deeper into the origins of capitalism to fully grasp the challenges we face today.
The enclosure movement, starting in 16th-century England, was pivotal in shaping modern capitalism. It transformed common lands into private property, driven by landowners' profit motives. This forced rural populations into cities, laying the groundwork for a market economy centered on profit and efficiency. As capitalism evolved, the profit motive spurred the Industrial Revolution, mechanization, and the rise of factories, which produced goods on an unprecedented scale.
In the 19th century, large corporations emerged, further concentrating wealth and power. These corporations, driven by the pursuit of profit, often exploited labor to maximize returns. The same profit motive led to the colonization of vast territories, where resources and labor were extracted to fuel economic growth in Europe.
The 20th and 21st centuries have seen the profit motive continue to drive innovation, particularly in the realm of digital technology. The digital revolution, driven by the commodification of information, mirrors the enclosure movement's commodification of land. Large language models (LLMs), for example, are tools born from this revolution that allow businesses to profit from vast amounts of data, perpetuating capitalism’s focus on maximizing returns through technological advancements.
However, this relentless focus on profit has also led to significant challenges. While it has driven innovation and economic growth, it has exacerbated social and economic inequalities, environmental degradation, and the concentration of wealth and power. These are not new problems; they are deeply rooted in the historical forces that have shaped capitalism for centuries.
The emphasis on profit leads to great innovation, but if profits are the sole focus, the solutions to our most pressing problems will only come when it’s too late. The profit motive often prioritizes short-term gains over long-term sustainability, leading to decisions that may be profitable in the short term but detrimental in the long run. For instance, fossil fuel extraction has been highly profitable, but it has also driven climate change, a major threat to humanity. Similarly, the commodification of information by tech giants has raised concerns about privacy, security, and the concentration of power.
Saving humanity requires more than just a small group of intelligent people; it requires collective action. Yet, most people are trapped in the day-to-day struggle to make ends meet, losing sight of the fact that what sustains capitalism isn’t profits alone but the relationship between capital (the capitalist) and labor (those who turn capital into goods). This relationship is central to capitalism, but it has also been the source of much inequality and exploitation.
Artificial intelligence (AI) threatens to fundamentally disrupt this relationship. As AI automates tasks traditionally performed by human labor, the role of labor in producing goods and services will change dramatically. This could diminish the need for human workers, leading to economic and social upheaval. In a world where AI takes on much of the work, the traditional relationship between capital and labor may no longer apply, potentially ending capitalism as we know it.
AI’s potential to replace human labor raises critical questions about the future of work, wealth distribution, and our economic system. If AI can generate most of the value in the economy, how will wealth be distributed? What will happen to the displaced workers? If the relationship between capital and labor is fundamentally altered, will we still have capitalism, or will we need to develop a new economic system?
Some propose that AI could usher in a post-capitalist society, where traditional economic relationships are replaced by new forms of organization. Concepts like universal basic income (UBI), where everyone receives a regular payment regardless of work, could provide a safety net for those displaced by AI and ensure a fairer distribution of wealth. However, others fear that AI could worsen existing inequalities, concentrating even more wealth and power in the hands of those who control AI technologies.
The impact of AI on the future of work and capitalism is still uncertain, and much will depend on how these technologies are managed. But it’s clear that AI challenges the very foundations of our current economic system.
In conclusion, the quote "show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcome" is particularly relevant in the context of capitalism and emerging technologies like AI. The incentives driving our economic activities shape the outcomes we see in society. As we face 21st-century challenges, including AI, climate change, and inequality, it’s crucial to examine these incentives critically and consider how to build a more just and sustainable future.
The history of capitalism-from the enclosure movement to the digital revolution-shows that the profit motive has driven innovation and economic growth but has also led to significant challenges. As we navigate the era of AI and other emerging technologies, we must think about how to harness these tools for the common good, rather than allowing them to exacerbate existing problems.
Capitalism isn’t just about profits; it’s about relationships between people-between those who control capital and those who work to create value from it. As AI and other technologies reshape these relationships, we must ensure that our economic system remains fair and just, and that the benefits of economic growth are shared by all.
The story of capitalism is one of constant change, driven by the pursuit of profit. But as we face the challenges of the 21st century, we must ask ourselves whether this pursuit is enough to address the complex problems we face. AI has the potential to break the traditional relationship between capital and labor, and if it does, capitalism as we know it may no longer exist.
Ultimately, the future of capitalism and AI’s role in our economy will depend on the choices we make as a society. If we continue to prioritize short-term profits, we may find ourselves facing insurmountable challenges. But if we can find ways to use AI and other technologies for the greater good, we may be able to create a more equitable and sustainable world for future generations.
It’s crucial to remember that capitalism’s success isn’t just about profits; it’s about the relationships that underpin the system. As we move forward, we must ensure that these relationships remain fair, and that the benefits of technological advancements are distributed justly. The future of capitalism-and perhaps humanity-depends on it.
PS I'm super fun at parties!
Thank you! I feel like you just summarised about 5 book length texts for me. I'm disabused of the notion that capitalism simply needs reform that tinkers around the edges of recent developments of the last 40 or so years. It seems to need a much deeper structural reform.
I imagine you've read or heard Yanis Varoufakis' talk about his hypothesis of technofeudalism? If not I think you'd be interested.

That was thought provoking and insightful.
I fear us humans will always manage to F#&K things up.
Where is the evidence that computers/AI will have the ability to replace human workers?
I have spent decades deeply involved with the human effort both physical and mental to create value with capital as you say. I have been consistently stunned at the unseen and un recognized human genius from all cohorts and all levels of the labor force. Virtually nothing of value whether a product or service is built or provided according to the prints, process spec’s, or methods prescribed by the actual capitalist or his/her Mngr, Engineer’s, or others hired to manage the workers.
The workers in any system learn the defects inherent in the original design, methods, process specs, ect. Then they plan and implement counter measures, they check to see if they got the desired result, if not they tweak or change the experiment until they figure it out. Plus they do all this everyday, everywhere, and management is largely unaware of any off it. The workers allow the Management to believe that there designs, plans, and assumptions are all or mainly correct so as to avoid an unpleasant and possibly risky encounter with the higher ups.
Correct me if I’m wrong but after studying the relevant literature it appears we have no idea in the least how humans do things! Anything we do, from how we see and perceive the world, to how we’re able to take in and synthesize vast and disparate pieces of information and know what’s critically important to the problem at hand.
How in the world do we think we can design effective AI workers when we have no idea how are current workers are able to do what they do now?
I do agree that the relationship between capital and labor has been the downfall of our current system. The idea that you can have a business model or economic model that causes a stake holder group as critical to the system as the workers in that system to have to lose in order for the owners/managers to win is destined for rapid failure.
We should start by going down to the factory floor, field, desk, ect, and spend as much time as necessary working to earn back some trust with the working class and work to make it more equitable for them to continue participating.
The scientist and engineers should focus on understanding how we as humans actually work, before unleashing this AI on the world with little to know idea what it’s capabilities are.
The whole thing reeks of Hubris and arrogance of the highest order.

Nobody cares 😅
Explaining AI is easy. First, LLMs are not AI. They can’t “think”. What they do really well is mimic a conversation. As an analogy, imagine that you can’t read Chinese, but what you can do is study the characters so well that you start to remember which characters are often drawn together. Eventually, you’d be able to write entire sentences and paragraphs that were actual grammatical sentences that made sense to someone that read Chinese. And to them it would look like you understood Chinese. But the reality is that you have no idea what any of the characters meant, and you couldn’t really come up with anything original, on your own. You could only mimic what you had already seen someone else write.
That’s essentially how LLMs work.
You’re welcome. 😉

Maybe you didn’t notice between 2020-2023, but the world is now a city. Any major event anywhere affects us all. There are no other cities.
When Rome fell it was not even the largest city in the world. There were other cities on other continents that weren’t affected at all. They didn’t even know Rome existed. We’re not in that situation today.
In some ways Rome never fell, it became a church. And the Germans absorbed the western roman empire into their culture. It was a transition that lasted hundreds of years.
