I was staff at TESC at that time. Thank you for writing about the truth of the events at TESC. It was so frustrating to watch everything unfold and see Bret manipulate the media coverage. There were multiple staff conversations before, during and after DOA/DOP. Bret was aware that he did not have to leave campus. Bret wanted to participate in the DEI activity on his terms, and burned everything down when he did not get his way. Bret had multiple chances to deescalate the situation, but chose to deliberately escalate everything.
Eric is the kind of guy to turn the simple sentence of “I like vanilla ice cream” to “the gustative response I receive from ingesting ice cream flavored by extract from the vanilla plant is enthralling”

Do not have heroes. Listen to people, question what they say, like them if they are honest, but never make them your heroes, for they will end up being your gurus before you know it.
Agreed. I remember becoming a big fan of Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris on the topics of religion. Probably too big. Then you hear them say some really off the mark things about, say, the Iraq war or politics more broadly. Then you have a choice: am I a dedicated *fan* of my *heroes* who now has to rationalize all this?..... or can I maybe more reasonably say something like, "I think they have some good points about this subject but are wrong about this other thing."?
“They have serious questions about your math” “Oh, you support rape jokes do you?” Man, I think I just got whiplash trying to follow that conversation.
It's closing your ears and screaming I can't hear you. Worse than a 5 year old. A real scientist would be happy with the scientific engagement, and be happy to now have a "north", a direction where his academic work could focus on, which gaps to fill, what to clarify. If his theory is done, so should be his credibility.
i wonder why all the anti-scientific academics are silent on the fact that we have a physicists peer reviewing a physicist and found his work to be unsatisfactory. what happened to all the criticism about how academia is an echσ chamber?
@@Howl-Runner Is it the same kind of narcissism when they actually have something to be proud of or think highly of themselves for though? Or was Tesla just neurodivergent so a bit cold and strange acting?

Tesla probably knew so much so talking to laypeople would be torturous for him.
Mhm Theo as in Thodor, or as in Theodora, Theodosia, Theophania... So he or she. Of one says "he" this implies one knows exactly who the person is, doesn't it.

Definitely mad props on that. Even after all these years, I still read that as "Ni-GOO-yin," . . . and I have a friend with that name, which makes it all the worse.
It’s really sad how shameless social media has made people. The loudest, most persistent voices achieve a certain level of credibility by their media presence alone. Conmen and frauds.
The school must have done something wrong if they paid him $500,000, and the woke/left has been threatening and firing teachers and students for not complying with woke nonsense for years. Weinstein is a self-important windbag and he probably exploited the situation to become the next Jordan Peterson, but I believe he was attacked by the woke left, because this is happening in all our institutions right now. Its happening in politics and media. Just in the last few days a woke left male teacher was fired for saying anyone who disagrees with him should be shot. TV shows like the View say racist and threatening things everyday. Democrats say these things everyday on the news. Anybody still making excuses, or in denial about the woke left, has no credibility.
Yep. I'm ashamed to say that for about a year I fell for the whole intellectual dark web crowd. Then I realised it was all just rhetoric and no substance. A lot of the thinkers I now find very insightful get their ideas out through articles and essays, but when they go on RUclips and podcasts they're just not very good talkers. RUclips has created an intellectual environment where the best bullshitters gain the most popularity.
I had to do a double take because when I first saw the title I read it as "Brothers in Flatulence". But then, that would make them funny instead of con artists. In an odd sort of way, that still fits though! They might as well be talking out of their butts. And what comes out has as much value as flatulence.
I have sent papers to colleagues and harsh criticism is what I want to improve them. You cannot act butthurt about it because that it what science is....
Science is a method of acquiring knowledge. And obviously the guy making this video does not have the capacitiy of acquiring knowledge so he certainly knows nothing, let alone anything scientific.
@@trst361 Ignoring that it’s a 17 year old account whereas bots are almost always newer accounts, what is so wrong about the grammar?

Is the question “what bot produced this grammar” or is it a joke like “what in the bot is this grammar?”
I was introduced to Eric Weinstein about a decade ago by Silicon Valley people who treated him like the smartest person they had ever met: he was like their token genius they brought around to parties to show how smart they are by association. After about ten minutes of convo with him, I realized that his real superpower is projecting an air of overconfidence in his own intelligence and correctness. In my experience, the smartest people tend to be pretty humble, so I assumed that while he may have a high degree of a certain type of intelligence, he's probably compensating for something. Looks like my gut was right.
and it would be very easy to implement. This would at least make discourse from dummies more inconvenient for them. Imagine a pop quiz came up in order to comment lol

These guys are delusional. Best illustration of this is the guy claiming that their thing revolutionized economics but "the world conspired" to prevent it from getting out. That's not how revolutionizing a field works for crying out loud. What a bunch of dinguses.
@@____uncompetative Eric used both the anonymous author and the rude comments as excuses to avoid reading the reply to his paper. The only reason for him to use the rude comments as an excuse to not read the reply is because he's implying that the anonymous person was behind those threats and rude comments. Otherwise he's just bringing up random unrelated topics to gish gallop away from the subject. Both are dishonest tactics to avoid the topic. And of course there's also his dog needing a walk. The caller was hilarious when he said something like "no one is asking you to condone threats of rape Eric, we're trying to discuss the math".
@@NinjaMonkeyPrime Spot on. Iin my opinion, Peter Thiel most likely picked and groomed Eric for his skill at Gish Gallop. After all, Eric Weinstein is not a scientist. He is a businessman. An economist - which, well there's more pseudoscience for you.
I've got it. I solved the conspiracy. This is all an attempt by Professor Dave to get on The Joe Rogan Podcast. Once there, he will debunk Flat Earth once and for all
Nah, you only get on Rogan if you are already famous or have some crackpot belief about aliens or pseudo science which "big science" is keeping hidden. The kook factor is what Joe loves.
Given Joe Rogan's track record and the many frauds and pretty much insane people he's already had on his podcast, I doubt somebody like professor Dave would be allowed but not so I think it's impossible. Hopefully he can get on to debunk all the non scientific nonsense that has been spewed and correctly communicate science in a manner without involving religion, politics, or just falsehoods.
Eric's a mathematician, not a physicist...he even admits so. I only had to read the video's description to see this guy didn't know what he was talking about.
yeah sorry, I'm just being a dick. "Loose" = not tight, or not contained, as in - "that screw is loose" or "the prisoner got loose" "Lose" = to misplace, or to not win. as in - "I tend to lose my glasses" or "The slower person will lose the race"
Those who actually do math know that if you are lucky enough to have some good original ideas, the only way for them to have an impact is to write them up very well, so that it will be readable and so have a much btetter chance of getting easily published. After that to give talks (backed up by the papers or preprints) which are interesting and well- prepared. Also, to collaborate with co-authors so you can have fun and bounce ideas off each other. It's true that it's very hard to do all that without an academic position which although it may not pay well, and may have too much teaching, at least gives you some time and possibilities and resources for that. Teaching or having students can help, if you are lucky. To expect to get all the fluff of fame without putting in the hard work of actually working out your perhaps genuinely brilliant ideas thoroughly, is naive, unrealistic and selfish: everyone else has to do it, what makes you so special? There are coutless unfinished manuscripts and notes by very famous researchers which will never get completed by anyone else, simply because no one has the time and energy to finish someone else's mess.... Furthermore, : if your goal is actually to contribute to others, rather than to just make money or be famous, then you want to do that anyway: to write it up correctly, rigorously, and completely, and explain it to inspire others. Just sayin'.... working for fame and money has it backwards.

Also if you're looking for recommendations, you should do one of these on Oprah, but I guess in her case it would be more of a 'historical retrospective.' She gets way too much of a free pass for all the nonsense junk medical science and antivax stuff she foisted on the American public, especially women, for decades. She's like the left's Mother Teresa, where everyone thinks she's great but she's actually kinda f*cking sucks; and she's never been held to account.
I don't think anyone who hosts daytime TV talk shows should ever be seen as a good person. Oprah just appears more neutral or palatable. Every single one of them is as insane as Wendy Williams some are just good at obfuscating.

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"

There is no such thing as false knowledge. It's just MORE knowledge. And you have the power to discern what matters and what is reasonable and what isn't. I don't need the government to tell me what I can and can't see, because the solution to misinformation is MORE information, not less.
"Geometric Unity" is what my friends in the physics club used as a code word for sex in high school - much like Eric's paper, the idea seemed incredible but in practice, it never amounted to anything.
Just goes to show you let Rogan put on Timothy Nguyen so he refute or debate him. STOP Whinning Weinstein. Smart people learn how to cheat in sophisticated ways. He is a disappointment to say the least.
Until the last couple of years Eric just seemed like an unpublished physics intellectual. Watching his output over the last couple of years I relaize this intellectual giant 'in his own head' looks down on all of us pontificating on the mistakes of society and how he understands it all. Eric, stand for office or shut up.... we are better off if you shut up given the drivel you have been spouting recently.
This video is really fantastic, evidence wise. However, I'm really conflicted about Dave's passionate insults towards the people he argues are charlatans. I think it's partly me being too soft, but I think it also comes off as being so passionate that I become skeptical about Dave's whole analysis. Selectively divorcing Dave's passionate jabs from the evidence, I actually really like the content and the criticism aimed towards Bret and Eric do seem warranted. But man... the rageful insults are off-putting.
Agreed. I will keep it in the back of my mind to remain skeptical, but I simply can't take this amount of passionate (hateful) criticism on good faith. I have never been a fan or receptive towards this "tearing down"-type of criticism. It is meant to be destructive and polarizing. Criticism should be either constructive or at least dispassionate, both in other to be trustworthy and objective, and also so it doesn't spoil the reader's own judgment emotionally, irrelevant of the facts of the matter or the criticisms at hand, which should be the sole focus.
It's about time somebody made a video like this about these dudes. All they do is spout out meaningless word salad around hot button topics and pretend to be intelligent. I have never found even one thing either of these guys say interesting.
Sorry to say but if you think it's nonsense, that means you are low intelligence, or you are having your cognitive dissonance triggered so your thinking shuts off and you want to remove yourself from discomfort. You have gum drop fairies in your head boy-o, kidd-o. Go to bed.
i think the term reverse racism was coined specifically to overcome the emotional resistance some people have towards the notion that white people can experience racism. its not that racism and reverse racism are different things, and i agree the term is dense. But it only came about to counter a blindspot that a lot of people, at least in certain circles, seem to have developed. Of course everyone can experience racism, and almost everyone will at some point to varying degrees if they live in a diverse society.
Fun fact. Montagner's participation in the discovery of H.I.V. is discussed here in France. Many people claimed that he just put his name on the work of Françoise Barré-Sinoussi as it was, and still is a "tradition" for head of labs to sign any paper write by their collegues or students (at least here in french.). It's for this very reason, that Raoult has his name on some many papers. Edit : So this fraud of a human being complains about Theo Polya using à psudonym and then go after people who criticize him just for "making à name"? What an AH.
Yes! Can't stand them needlessly using hyper complex terminology to explain fairly simple concepts just to appear smart... It's a shame Joe Rogan uses these guys as the smart ones on his show.
My hatred towards Rogan grows more and more every day because of this shit. This man has actively made the world a worse place and he's too stupid and greedy to realize it.
"using hyper complex terminology to explain fairly simple concepts " They like all those with a Phd can't help themselves. Mainly, I suspect, because their peer group would ridicule them for "over simplifying" .
@@MrStringybark exactly incorrect. In fact, every paper I ever wrote as a scientist was always peer reviewed with an eye towards REMOVING unnecessary jargon from them. Makes it easier for scientists in other fields to read, and makes it easier for YOU to read.
I remember Brett suggesting a unity party concept with cross party candidates for the 2016 election. Perhaps that was grandiose delusion on his part but it was a nice idea. He also promoted people staying home or at least not socialising in large groups outdoors during the pandemic and urged people to take supposedly minor illnesses like colds and flus more seriously. That stuff all seemed good. He clearly went off the deep end but I never had much contact with his content other than those examples.
Imagine trying to school the person who literally discovered the thing you are even talking about. It's like trying to explain to Einstein why special relativity is responsible for Mars being in retrograde, then getting upset when corrected. The absolute arrogance of the Whinesteins on full display.
Not a professional but I do read. From a patent office there was an arrogant childish ridiculous failure virgin incestual creature human who said to himself “the science can”t be right” and shit he was right. Amiright
Without any knowledge of physics or high-level math or biology or biochemistry ... I have always been extremely skeptical of these guys (and Heather). They present as all tip and no iceberg.
I'd love to see a video about SARS/CoV2. There's been so much noise on social media about it, especially from hucksters who are trying to get their fifteen minutes of fame and not satisfied, wanted a little more time in the limelight.
i have to say that I agree on the most part, but Eric Weinstein has uttered some valid critique about the negative sides of academic life, all in all he is quite obnoxious, especially because he claims to be an expert and a frontier-breaking researcher but has no output to confirm these qualities!
would actually love a video on the origins of covid. The scientists from the Wuhan lab have spoken on the happenings of the virus and their studies of it, and I would love your take on what you can prove/show happened if you are willing. Thanks Dave!
This is one place were Dave missed the ball and needs to do more research. Bret did not promote the deliberate release hypothesis, but the accidental lab leak hypothesis, and he did so early in the pandemic not because of "spidey sense", but because he read a detailed investigation with evidence by Yuri Deigin (who was initially trying to disprove lab leak). Over the course of time an increasing number of people (including US intelligence) have come to view the lab leak hypothesis as at least plausible, perhaps even probable. Furthermore, there is now evidence that Peter Daszak, who channelled NIH funding viia EcoHealth Alliance to the WIV lab, coordinated a group of virologists to sign a letter to Nature stating that the lab leak hypothesis was essentially impossible. He also headed the WHO investigation, at the request of China - an evident conflict of interest. It was good in general to see a video with criticism of Bret, but I found this segment somewhat disingenuous.
False flag of free speech absolutism. Care to unpack that for me professor? If what you mean by this is that not all speech is protected, I agree. We are not protected to make threats, spread false statements, fighting words and fire in a theater. If you what you mean is JP’s questioning the legislation of pronouns I wouldn’t characterize that as free speech absolutism. You may disagree of course but a very loaded way to put it. If I’m misunderstanding please clarify.
I love watching your videos. Even though I am lost about most of the science stuff. I thank you for working diligently in exposing these fraudsters. Sadly, I never paid enough attention in school to the "boring stuff". lol I took more of a class clown route. Now, at almost 60, I find it very interesting, and I'm so glad for persons like you and others like Milo Rossi, for explaining to everyday people as best you can. Peace to you and the likes.

Thank you for thinking for yourself and doing your due diligence, and not bowing down to these self-deluded losers, setting a horrible precedent. Next is Wex Fwidman I hope. ❤
It's really funny to hear Eric go straight from "Who's Theo Polya?" to suddenly knowing exactly who that is and having a detailed response to this paper (which amounts to "nuh uh" and "your mom!") as if he thinks a whole lot about it, despite pretending it doesn't get to him
Well done once again Professor Dave. I used to kinda like these guys but grew out of them with all the stupid conspiracy shit. I had no idea they were this full of shit.
I've been waiting for this one Dave. I'm still not very happy about your condescending response when I asked why you are so against Eric Weinstein on your Terrance Howard video. If your goal is to convince people to come to your side then being condescending towards someone who is willing to listen and learn is not helpful. I understand it can be frustrating dealing with morons on a regular basis but you shouldn't let that frustration get the better of you. On the other hand, if you goal is just to troll and poke fun at those morons then I guess you won't care about this comment lol. Anyways I enjoy the channel and appreciate what you do, even if its a bit edgy at times.
I also don't jive with his condescension. He's been a bit antagonistic again me in the comment section simply for saying I am a Weinstein fan. I didn't attack him or the community in any way, I just wanted to start a dialogue.
You are such a breath of fresh air man. It’s so frustrating to hear people tip toe around these two and those like them without just directly calling them out on their bullshit
Honestly wish this video had done a better job of providing concrete, clear evidence in an objective way. All of the pathos detracts from the needed logos of the criticisms. I was hoping to have a video to show my Weinstein-revering friend, but he's too sensible to be swayed by something like this. I need more-effective debunking to help convince him (and myself).

I accept Bret is a grifter and science denier now, but I dunno about the Evergreen stuff. That seemed like a legitimate 'woke cancellation' situation to me still. Great vid!
Agreed. Even if he exaggerated about the baseball bat stuff the videos show the 'SJW' students being nuts and aggressive. Nuance is real. Two things can be true at once. Right-wingers can be grifters AND left-wingers can lead cancel mobs.
From the most unbiased sources I can find it seems like it went down kinda like how it is described by Bret, so I don't know what Dave's sources here are. I 100% agree Eric and Bret are two frauds who needs to get exposed. But the part about evergreen here stains the rest of the video a bit. But I could be wrong, I would like to know Dave's sources for this.
I followed a guy who filmed this agitator stuff, without comment, over a long period. Some participants sounded seriously loony, and I'm not talking about the Weinsteins.
I’d disagree, every time I’ve seen him talk about science, mainly physics, he’s been correct and giving mostly the consensus opinion. Why is he a joke? Is there something I’m not seeing? I mean collabing with Eric isn’t the best sign I guess, but he collabs with many respected scientists in different fields and I’ve never seen him be discredited too much, unlike Eric
@@lionelmessisburner7393I’m not sure why these guys all hate them here. 🙈 Brian Keating and the TOE channel are some of my favorites to listen to physics and science. Those channels have people like Peter hoit, Lee smolin, Penrose, Brian green to max tegmark and Stephen wolfram.
@@GlobalWave1 Because, they, very carefully, dance on the thin line dividing the science and the pseudo-science, trying to emulate the successes of, for example, Joe Rogan or Lex Fridman, who invite all kinds of cranks on their shows. Except that Lex Fridman or Joe Rogan are not scientists and are not about science, they are just peddlers of pop-anything, they can get away with such behavior. I don't watch Lex Fridman or Joe Rogan, I still watch Brian and TOE, occasionally, but good science material can be found elsewhere and I have no interest in clickbait fake "controversies" or crockpot theories.
Until now, I suspected only that both these guys, especially Eric was full of hubris, just to be polite. Their phony superiority complex and ego gratification attempts at gaining popularity and acceptance as true intellectuals is cringe worthy. Since I'm not an expert in math or evolutionary biology, nor an investigative journalist, I appreciate your detailed explanation of their lies and self involved exaggerations. Thanks
Most people myself included have little to no time researching in depth and detail the claims and research papers in order to understand if someone on RUclips tells the truth or not. We believed him because we trusted he had integrity. Also you cannot blame people for mistrusting the official authorities in a field since in the last years there have been many examples of such individuals and institutions lying, omitting and manipulating the public.
1. That's why he is going after the brothers, not the public for trusting him 2. Actually it's more of the Media is reporting it more than ever, because it sells. We aren't seeing an increase in lying, we are seeing an increase in coverage. If we had the same coverage 50-80 years back, we would see more of these results.
@@Dont14-r4k Not because it sells. Because they're completely captured and are nothing more than mouthpieces for power. Americans are the most propagandized people in the world-you'd have to be a pretty dim bulb not to assume the media is lying to you at the behest of governments and corporations. The level of lying may not be increasing (hard to quantify), but the level of gaslighting by the legacy media is increasing as more and more people find independent sources for news and information.
I was staff at TESC at that time. Thank you for writing about the truth of the events at TESC. It was so frustrating to watch everything unfold and see Bret manipulate the media coverage. There were multiple staff conversations before, during and after DOA/DOP. Bret was aware that he did not have to leave campus.

It’s really sad how shameless social media has made people. The loudest, most persistent voices achieve a certain level of credibility by their media presence alone. Conmen and frauds.
The school must have done something wrong if they paid him $500,000, and the woke/left has been threatening and firing teachers and students for not complying with woke nonsense for years. Weinstein is a self-important windbag and he probably exploited the situation to become the next Jordan Peterson, but I believe he was attacked by the woke left, because this is happening in all our institutions right now. Its happening in politics and media. Just in the last few days a woke left male teacher was fired for saying anyone who disagrees with him should be shot. TV shows like the View say racist and threatening things everyday. Democrats say these things everyday on the news. Anybody still making excuses, or in denial about the woke left, has no credibility.
The only ones who are conmen and frauds are the ones saying a man can be a woman
Yep. I'm ashamed to say that for about a year I fell for the whole intellectual dark web crowd. Then I realised it was all just rhetoric and no substance.

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

@@____uncompetative Eric used both the anonymous author and the rude comments as excuses to avoid reading the reply to his paper. The only reason for him to use the rude comments as an excuse to not read the reply is because he's implying that the anonymous person was behind those threats and rude comments. Otherwise he's just bringing up random unrelated topics to gish gallop away from the subject. Both are dishonest tactics to avoid the topic. And of course there's also his dog needing a walk. The caller was hilarious when he said something like "no one is asking you to condone threats of rape Eric, we're trying to discuss the math".

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

Until the last couple of years Eric just seemed like an unpublished physics intellectual. Watching his output over the last couple of years I relaize this intellectual giant 'in his own head' looks down on all of us pontificating on the mistakes of society and how he understands it all. Eric, stand for office or shut up.... we are better off if you shut up given the drivel you have been spouting recently.
This video is really fantastic, evidence wise. However, I'm really conflicted about Dave's passionate insults towards the people he argues are charlatans.
I think it's partly me being too soft, but I think it also comes off as being so passionate that I become skeptical about Dave's whole analysis.
Selectively divorcing Dave's passionate jabs from the evidence, I actually really like the content and the criticism aimed towards Bret and Eric do seem warranted. But man... the rageful insults are off-putting.
Agreed. I will keep it in the back of my mind to remain skeptical, but I simply can't take this amount of passionate (hateful) criticism on good faith. I have never been a fan or receptive towards this "tearing down"-type of criticism. It is meant to be destructive and polarizing.
Criticism should be either constructive or at least dispassionate, both in other to be trustworthy and objective, and also so it doesn't spoil the reader's own judgment emotionally, irrelevant of the facts of the matter or the criticisms at hand, which should be the sole focus.
I feel the same way. But ig it's the best way to appeal to people on the other side. Dave is in the business of making money off his content anyways.

Nothing irritates me more than the term "reverse racism". There is no such thing. It's either racism or it isn't. There is no reverse racism.
i think the term reverse racism was coined specifically to overcome the emotional resistance some people have towards the notion that white people can experience racism. its not that racism and reverse racism are different things, and i agree the term is dense. But it only came about to counter a blindspot that a lot of people, at least in certain circles, seem to have developed.
Of course everyone can experience racism, and almost everyone will at some point to varying degrees if they live in a diverse society.

It's for this very reason, that Raoult has his name on some many papers.

would actually love a video on the origins of covid. The scientists from the Wuhan lab have spoken on the happenings of the virus and their studies of it, and I would love your take on what you can prove/show happened if you are willing. Thanks Dave!
@@blangtube fair enough🤝
This is one place were Dave missed the ball and needs to do more research.
Bret did not promote the deliberate release hypothesis, but the accidental lab leak hypothesis, and he did so early in the pandemic not because of "spidey sense", but because he read a detailed investigation with evidence by Yuri Deigin (who was initially trying to disprove lab leak). Over the course of time an increasing number of people (including US intelligence) have come to view the lab leak hypothesis as at least plausible, perhaps even probable. Furthermore, there is now evidence that Peter Daszak, who channelled NIH funding viia EcoHealth Alliance to the WIV lab, coordinated a group of virologists to sign a letter to Nature stating that the lab leak hypothesis was essentially impossible. He also headed the WHO investigation, at the request of China - an evident conflict of interest.
It was good in general to see a video with criticism of Bret, but I found this segment somewhat disingenuous.
Why RUclips didn't suggest this channel to me long time ago. This is spot on❤
The plural of garbage is not evidence.
False flag of free speech absolutism. Care to unpack that for me professor? If what you mean by this is that not all speech is protected, I agree. We are not protected to make threats, spread false statements, fighting words and fire in a theater. If you what you mean is JP’s questioning the legislation of pronouns I wouldn’t characterize that as free speech absolutism. You may disagree of course but a very loaded way to put it. If I’m misunderstanding please clarify.
I love watching your videos. Even though I am lost about most of the science stuff. I thank you for working diligently in exposing these fraudsters. Sadly, I never paid enough attention in school to the "boring stuff". lol I took more of a class clown route. Now, at almost 60, I find it very interesting, and I'm so glad for persons like you and others like Milo Rossi, for explaining to everyday people as best you can. Peace to you and the likes.
Wish you would have a more bipartisan view, I have seen some slips in your rhetoric that’s you cannot even prove wholeheartedly in your bias, which is clear..howeeeveeerr…… this doc was at least almost completely accurate and fantastic. Have always been annoyed and cynical of these absolute golem like DORKS! Thank you for thinking for yourself and doing your due diligence, and not bowing down to these self-deluded losers, setting a horrible precedent. Next is Wex Fwidman I hope. ❤
It's really funny to hear Eric go straight from "Who's Theo Polya?" to suddenly knowing exactly who that is and having a detailed response to this paper (which amounts to "nuh uh" and "your mom!") as if he thinks a whole lot about it, despite pretending it doesn't get to him
Well done once again Professor Dave. I used to kinda like these guys but grew out of them with all the stupid conspiracy shit. I had no idea they were this full of shit.
I've been waiting for this one Dave. I'm still not very happy about your condescending response when I asked why you are so against Eric Weinstein on your Terrance Howard video. If your goal is to convince people to come to your side then being condescending towards someone who is willing to listen and learn is not helpful. I understand it can be frustrating dealing with morons on a regular basis but you shouldn't let that frustration get the better of you. On the other hand, if you goal is just to troll and poke fun at those morons then I guess you won't care about this comment lol. Anyways I enjoy the channel and appreciate what you do, even if its a bit edgy at times.
I also don't jive with his condescension. He's been a bit antagonistic again me in the comment section simply for saying I am a Weinstein fan. I didn't attack him or the community in any way, I just wanted to start a dialogue.
the mighty algorithm spilled me your fine dish. nice work
I'm getting very emotional after seeing all those hardships the brothers have to endure, poor victims 😭
To be fair, same. I was absolutely surprised as I’m sure you were. It’s just that my emotion was hatred.
oy vey! ... our victim card never expires ✡️ ... do I need to remind U of hollow coast again?
You are such a breath of fresh air man. It’s so frustrating to hear people tip toe around these two and those like them without just directly calling them out on their bullshit
This is great proof of how having a Phd and defending a dissertation is not at all a guarantee of doing significant work or having insight.
Honestly wish this video had done a better job of providing concrete, clear evidence in an objective way. All of the pathos detracts from the needed logos of the criticisms. I was hoping to have a video to show my Weinstein-revering friend, but he's too sensible to be swayed by something like this. I need more-effective debunking to help convince him (and myself).
Oh great i got here early enough that dave might read my comment!!! Here is my chance! Dont blow it johnny….
Hi dave:)
I win!!!!
@@MeekandMeCONGRATULATIONS!!!
@@ajaipalbains8871 thank you:) 😊
Nice! 😃😃
literally lol'ed
I feel like their nonsense is pretty self-evident. Not that this should stop anyone from making fun of them
Examples or should we all just take your word for it?
@@a1b1c184
They are literally in the video in which I am in the comment section replying to…
@@jloiben12 The video is full of ad hom nonsense and false stories from a guy who has some kind of personal problem with them. I guess none of you feel compelled to back up any claims you make just bad because I say so. Hell just give time stamps then. At least tell me why I should believe you since you are telling me two men I think the world of are bad people.
@@a1b1c184 Your comment really says it all right? You like them so you don't want to see them as bad. You've decided that something is a certain way and it's on other's to prove you wrong instead of proving why you're right. The video has plenty of evidence or things to respond to you but you look for a fight with some commenter instead because you can't address what's said.
Frankly this is the first time I’ve ever heard a bad word about the these brothers. I was surprised they got a video.
I accept Bret is a grifter and science denier now, but I dunno about the Evergreen stuff. That seemed like a legitimate 'woke cancellation' situation to me still. Great vid!
Agreed. Even if he exaggerated about the baseball bat stuff the videos show the 'SJW' students being nuts and aggressive.
Nuance is real. Two things can be true at once. Right-wingers can be grifters AND left-wingers can lead cancel mobs.
because it was, this guy is a classic gaslighter.
From the most unbiased sources I can find it seems like it went down kinda like how it is described by Bret, so I don't know what Dave's sources here are. I 100% agree Eric and Bret are two frauds who needs to get exposed. But the part about evergreen here stains the rest of the video a bit. But I could be wrong, I would like to know Dave's sources for this.
I followed a guy who filmed this agitator stuff, without comment, over a long period.
Some participants sounded seriously loony, and I'm not talking about the Weinsteins.
@@chrisruss9861 You talking about Michael Nayna?
I want to watch this, but the "dunk" style of the editing and rhetoric going several minutes in gives it a non-serious tone that is hard to listen to.
Whoa, he can badmouth vaccines all he wants, but how dare he speak ill of pornography?!?
Yeah, Brian Keating is also a joke, well spotted and mentioned. Always wining about losing the Nobel prize lol, and promoting BS.
Yep a stuck record. In my do not watch list!!
I’d disagree, every time I’ve seen him talk about science, mainly physics, he’s been correct and giving mostly the consensus opinion. Why is he a joke? Is there something I’m not seeing? I mean collabing with Eric isn’t the best sign I guess, but he collabs with many respected scientists in different fields and I’ve never seen him be discredited too much, unlike Eric
@@lionelmessisburner7393watch this video and then you’ll see why Keating’s is also a joke, if he falls for eric’s bs is a bad sign!
@@lionelmessisburner7393I’m not sure why these guys all hate them here. 🙈
Brian Keating and the TOE channel are some of my favorites to listen to physics and science.
Those channels have people like Peter hoit, Lee smolin, Penrose, Brian green to max tegmark and Stephen wolfram.
@@GlobalWave1
Because, they, very carefully, dance on the thin line dividing the science and the pseudo-science, trying to emulate the successes of, for example, Joe Rogan or Lex Fridman, who invite all kinds of cranks on their shows.
Except that Lex Fridman or Joe Rogan are not scientists and are not about science, they are just peddlers of pop-anything, they can get away with such behavior.
I don't watch Lex Fridman or Joe Rogan, I still watch Brian and TOE, occasionally, but good science material can be found elsewhere and I have no interest in clickbait fake "controversies" or crockpot theories.
Until now, I suspected only that both these guys, especially Eric was full of hubris, just to be polite. Their phony superiority complex and ego gratification attempts at gaining popularity and acceptance as true intellectuals is cringe worthy. Since I'm not an expert in math or evolutionary biology, nor an investigative journalist, I appreciate your detailed explanation of their lies and self involved exaggerations. Thanks
“The plural of garbage is not evidence,” is one of the best things I’ve heard
OH YEAH !!!!! I'm on night shift this will do nicely, need a good laugh.
These two are literally the Clues Brothers from South Park 😂 Bret an Eric walk around daily with raging hard clues!
Haha, that gave me a raging clue
They are called the Hardly Boys. C’mon. Lol.
It's a spoof of "the Hardy Boys"
Most people myself included have little to no time researching in depth and detail the claims and research papers in order to understand if someone on RUclips tells the truth or not. We believed him because we trusted he had integrity. Also you cannot blame people for mistrusting the official authorities in a field since in the last years there have been many examples of such individuals and institutions lying, omitting and manipulating the public.
1. That's why he is going after the brothers, not the public for trusting him
2. Actually it's more of the Media is reporting it more than ever, because it sells. We aren't seeing an increase in lying, we are seeing an increase in coverage. If we had the same coverage 50-80 years back, we would see more of these results.
@@Dont14-r4k Not because it sells. Because they're completely captured and are nothing more than mouthpieces for power. Americans are the most propagandized people in the world-you'd have to be a pretty dim bulb not to assume the media is lying to you at the behest of governments and corporations. The level of lying may not be increasing (hard to quantify), but the level of gaslighting by the legacy media is increasing as more and more people find independent sources for news and information.
