I enjoyed this discussion. I wonder why Epstein was so involved with scientists. A genuine passion for science or was he stealing scientific secrets on behalf of an intelligence agency? Probably a bit of both.
Interesting discussion between Eric Weinstein and Lex Fridman

Some people don’t know english properly PP.. but i don’t expect depthness in your analysis.
I would “enjoy” to know who is who on “hbd” (neo social darwinism) include you PP. What is your age?
It’s always irritating to see what philosophically alienated people like “hbd” “chick” post and like on twitter.
it’s funny how “working class” and “no college degree” are rotuinely conflated by talking heads. this would mean epstein and bill gates and steve jobs and larry ellison etc are “working class. paul allen was also a college drop out.
this conflation tells you an enormous amount about the chattering class.
Epstein really was prole.
yeah. i said this. he had a very brooklyn accent. if he were interviewed on the old Charlie Rose show you’d think, “who is this guy?”
dropping out of harvard, reed, illinois, and washington state iirc.
woz actually had an electrical engineering degree from berkeley. jobs exploited him. jobs was technically incomptent.
I’ve never heard him speak but before he went grey, he looked like a student in mr. kotter’s class. He never went Harvard obviously
right. but he was obsessed with harvard.
or so said some jewish journalist and actual harvard grad.
this is sad.
my dad hated harvard.
there are two forces at work. one is that smart people do well in school. the other is that smart people know school is fubar.
iirc, it is generally now accepted that nixon lost the 1960 election due to fraud. so it is part of american history.
and i have a theory…in the case of presidential elections…
only if the election is very close does fraud have an effect…
blacks loved nixon more than any republican until trump…
because lincoln was a republican and his election was the proximal cause of secession.
way back blacks voted 90% republican.
and white southerners voted 90% democrat.
even wikipedia claims the 1960 popular vote was…
only 0.17% for jfk.
of course fact free accusations of voter fraud by the trumpistas is similar to russiagate, but much less ridiculous, because ballot stuffing really does affect vote totals and even if the podesta emails were delivered by russia, they weren’t fake. they were his emails.
Trump lies about his TV ratings, crowd sizes, wealth and IQ. I see no reason to doubt he’s lying now too especially since he overperformed the polls

someone declaring victory can have a yuge effect. it shouldn’t, but it can. no one was going to declare so trump declared.
Langan on Trump’s IQ:
Some interesting points, especially his take on the Dunning-Kruger “danger zone.”
cleverness
=/=

Thanks for the link. I’m working on a related article right now
Pumpkin, will someone with a 117 IQ have to work hard in AP calculus (do the hw, pay attention in class, and study before tests)?
yes
that is, just because sleepy joe won’t be president doesn’t mean his vp will be like dick cheney.
more likely is kamala will be like every other vp, but sleepy joe will be his handlers.
it’s Weekend at Bernie’s except bernie is biden.
so the real president will be my doppleganger at age 13 andrew mccarthy and [redacted by pp, 2020-11-05].
Joe has more agency than you think. And he strikes me as way too arrogant and racist to let Kamala run anything.
but the point is…
just because she’s vp doesn’t mean she’ll be the real president even if sleepy joe were really sleepy.
cheney had to “insinuate” himself into power.
why is peepee not approving the blow article?
because it confirms what mugabe said and that trump won WI and MI.
but yeah. biden is still “there”…barely…some of the time…but…
he’ll have lots of very pushy and energetic people around him as POTUS…
so he’ll be even more of a puppet than trump.
