+* ''On Holding Trump Accountable'': "I’ve studied Trump’s style and it is based around deliberate ambiguities that Left and Right can be counted upon to hear as meaning different things. If Trump makes N nested ambiguous statements in a minute, he will create a minimum of 2 to the N legs of the decision tree that must be considered, given your strategy.  He will force you and the rest of the United States public intellectuals to waste much of your intellectual life, for four to eight years, picking up after him. He just needs to knock over the intellectual vases faster than you can glue their shards back together. No matter how good you are, you aren’t going to make it through like that." <small>''(source: [https://theportal.group/my-absence-the-tech-platforms-the-2020-election-jean-seberg-and-article-58/ My absence, the tech platforms, the 2020 election, Jean Seberg, and Article 58])''</small>
-* ''On The Peter Principle'':  "The Peter principle has to do with systems of selective pressures, so that in a previous world where corporate ladders actually functioned (which many of our younger viewers won’t know anything about because the corporate latter hasn’t worked for a great deal of time) people would advance by merit to the point at which they would find that they were first incompetent and then they would stop there, and effectively you would go one step beyond where your competency lies.

I think that the Peter principle really doesn’t function because what you now have is an insane situation in which you have people like myself: about 55 years old (54, technically) who have never even started our careers because of the holding pattern that we find having to do with tremendous numbers of people in the silent and boomer generations holding the important chairs" <small>''(source: [https://youtu.be/1CCde6TAKdw?t=105  The Verdict With Ted Cruz Ep. 39, 1:45])"</small>

 * ''On Meritocracy'':  "So in terms of progressivism, one of the things that’s very important to understand is that in many ways the market is not actually functioning to promote talent. There’s a great deal of skepticism about whether meritocracy can continue to be a part of the American story. And then what we’re finding is that in the absence of a functioning meritocracy we see Maoism as being incredibly important and being embraced by one of our two major parties, and I see Maoism is very distinct from progressivism." <small>''(source: [https://youtu.be/1CCde6TAKdw?t=160  The Verdict With Ted Cruz Ep. 39, 2:40])"</small>

+* ''On the significance of Kung Fu Panda'': "And if you think about that for a second, you’ll realize that Einstein wasn’t successful in leaving any Einsteins, and Francis Crick didn’t leave Francis Cricks, and Winston Churchill didn’t leave any Winston Churchills. If there was some way for a Newton to leave a Newton dependably, the world would be a completely different place. And what Kung Fu Panda was trying to do, in my opinion, was to struggle with this question of how would an innovator leave a successor when it’s his time to go? And so my claim was that the original innovator in the film is a turtle, which is an even more inappropriate kung fu archetype than a panda because they’re obviously slow-moving. And the turtle works out the secrets of harmony and focus at the Pool of Sacred Tears. But when the kingdom is threatened by a kung fu student of great ability who’s gone wrong, all that the kingdom can muster is the usual collection of over-trained students. So think aspirants to Princeton and Stanford and Harvard. And so these are all the kids who would get perfect SATs and have amazing extracurricular activities. But fundamentally, what we don’t realize is that they’ve all been rendered incomplete in a way because they can’t tap into the self- teaching modality because they have been so thoroughly over- taught. And so the turtle recognizes that the panda is the only one who can save the day. And all the turtle has to go on in choosing a successor is that the panda has innovated one silly thing, which is to turn a fireworks cart into a makeshift rocket to jump a wall. And so from this humble beginning, the magic unfolds. And it’s really about the magic of how one self-teacher leaves a successor and solves the problem.” <small>''(source: https://youtu.be/8LPwyy4scAc The Tim Ferriss Show Episode 131: Eric Weinstein-Transcript: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://fhww.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/131-eric-weinstein.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiqr9Ke2-zsAhXQlnIEHUanDPYQFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw0bcpyCI8qNLa701gMqy4VN)''</small>
