We are collecting predictions from Eric so we may use them for anything we want in the future. Please: * Add any prediction you like * Help add sources so we know all of these are really predictions. Make sure to include a link if possible. If you're quoting from a long piece (e.g a podcast) give a timestamp, or another useful pointer in the case of long texts. * Keep the format consistent (between predictions and between versions). == Predictions == * '''2001''' Eric meets [[25:_The_Construct:_Jeffrey_Epstein|Jeffrey Epstein]] and immediately after concluding the meeting calls his wife and tells her he โjust met a construct.โ * '''2002''' [http://www.eric-weinstein.net/Papers/Weinstein_Abdulali_RISK_Vol_15_No._6_June.2002.pdf Eric's research with A.
