Eric became a beacon of hope for me when he started sharing his story and lessons he learned throughout his impressive career as an
- academic
- mathematician
- physicist
- economist
- managing director of Thiel Capital, and
- podcaster

He’s been told he is all of this.
He is proof of the educational system debacles. He says, “All BS. I wasn’t meant for educators, as those are actually their issues with me (i.e. teaching disabilities).”

He’s an inspiration as I’ve faced similar obstacles especially with the focus of compliance in the educational system over creativity, curiosity, even intellect has hurt me in my educational career. https://www.juandavidcampolargo.com/blog/highschool
Eric Weinstein’s ideas have awakened me and showed a world unknown to most people, such as the real world of academia and science.
One of these ideas is what he calls the DISC (Distributed Idea Suppression Complex) which explains how disruptive and innovative ideas that challenge the status quo are suppressed.
Keeping institutions safe from individuals who create change.
Keeping institutions safe from individuals who create change.
The DISC is spread throughout major institutions such as in academia, the mainstream media, and politics.
It tries to undermine ideas that may challenge or weaken the elite. This isn’t directly planned, and it’s not under central control.

The DISC is only one of these marvelous ideas that Eric explores in his podcast called The Portal where he explores subjects including science, economics, culture, politics, and business.

Eric launched The Portal in June 2019 and less than a year later has created a community of people who want to explore this hidden reality and discover new portals.
Here are my favorite episodes:

1: Peter Thiel: this was how I found the podcast. Peter rarely appears on interviews, so I knew this one had to be special.
This may be one of the best episodes in the history of podcasts.
I found this conversion can help you understand Girard’s theories' implications in society, especially in a time of wealth gap inequality, racial conflicts, and a pandemic.

19: Bret Weinstein - The Prediction and the DISC: In this rigid conversation with Bret, they talked about the DISC and how it affected Bret with one of his biology discoveries.
Eric eagerly tries to get his brother to tell the story of his powerful finding.
Bret discovered that the mice we use for medical trials have ultra-long telomeres and that these “hide” the dangers of certain medicines.
This same discovery could cure cancer and end aging.

17: Anna Khachiyan - Reconstructing The Mystical Feminine From The Ashes Of “The Feminine Mystique”:
Eric interviews Anna, who is a Russian-American social, literary and artistic theorist. She is also the co-host of the fierce and popular Red Scare podcast.

Eric tells her, “I've been addicted to your podcast not quite understanding why. It's one of the strangest things I've ever found.”
That’s exactly how I felt.
They talked about mystery and how society thought we wanted clarity and directness.

BONUS 36: Dark Matter, Black Matters and All That Jazz with Stephon Alexander is an amazing episode to learn more about physics, racial issues, and music.
I disagree with many of @EricRWeinstein, views, however I still consider him a role model because of his love and passion for science.
I hope you find Eric’s work as interesting, fascinating, and curious as I have.
