DescriptionEdit
Does 1×1=2? Is the periodic table wrong? Are all conspiracies wrong? Are experts failing us?
It is clear that there is a growing public distrust of experts and institutions, and even more clear that this has severe consequences for society and science.
Join Brian and colleague Eric Weinstein as they explore this in the context of Terrance Howard’s appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. They dig deep into the reasons for this skepticism, from political pressures to historical deceptions, and hypothesize potential solutions!
Eric Weinstein is an American mathematician at Thiel Capital, Peter Thiel's investment firm. He is the host of the Portal Podcast.
Though not an academic physicist, he proposed a unified theory of physics in 2013. He and his brother Bret Weinstein coined the term Intellectual Dark Web to refer to an informal group of pundits. Eric is a vocal critic of modern academic hierarchies and advocates for advances in scientific theory over an emphasis on experimental results. We discuss funding, academic freedom, and theoretical vs experimental physics.
