'''Eric Weinstein:''' Hello, you've found The Portal. I'm your host, Eric Weinstein, and I think that today's must be the most unusual episode yet of a podcast that has been marked by almost regular unusual episodes. Now, this is the first podcast that I'm recording at home. I don't really have a home recording studio, so we're really doing this from chicken wire and masking tape. But, I am sheltering in place because of the worldwide COVID pandemic, and what we've been asked by the state of California and by the federal government is to shelter in place for an upcoming month, because today is April 1st. Now during a pandemic, I can assure you that no one is interested in April Fool's jokes. So the question is what to do with the April Fool's tradition in a situation in which nobody wants a prank. | '''Eric Weinstein:''' Hello, you've found The Portal.
