on the show, Eric Weinstein! Most of you are probably already very
familiar with Eric and his work, but for those who don’t know him,

speaker, and one of the most brilliant people I know.  In this

whether we are heading towards nuclear war, the twin nuclei problem
of cell and atom, aliens, physics, and much more.  Tune in!
