I say that is a nerd who will watch this sort of thing for hours when nobody breaks out of a monotone but I found that these two men became animated when they talked about the deficiencies in our current education establishment otherwise there was no real passion behind the exchange.
Eric Weinstein is so smart and has appeared on other podcasts to such good effect that I think he will be able to put some juice into this attempt with a few more at-bats.
I am just one of those nerds so I found it to be interesting, but you are correct, Weinstein will most likely improve the delivery over time.
That is why I do love Steyn’s interviews. He knows when to juice things up and he knows when to get out of the way.
