The Portal Group Onboarding
The Portal Discord Onboarding Guide
We are a group of people who found each other through Eric Weinstein. This is an area to document the ideas that Eric has brought up on his podcast, The Portal, as well as some other mediums in which he has contributed. The community is comprised of different groups of people who discuss those ideas, work on projects to further understand those ideas.
There are a few areas in which you will consume information, discuss and participate. For starters
- The Portal Podcast [[1]]
- Eric Weinstein's Website [[2]]
