Weinstein is, at present and among other things, a Managing Director of Thiel Capital.

From Wiki:

Weinstein received his PhD in mathematical physics from Harvard University in 1992 under the supervision of Raoul Bott.

In his dissertation, Extension of Self-Dual Yang-Mills Equations Across the Eighth Dimension, Weinstein showed that the self-dual Yang–Mills equations were not peculiar to dimension four and admitted generalizations to higher dimensions.[7]

Weinstein left academia after stints at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[citation needed] Weinstein was invited to a colloquium by mathematician Marcus du Sautoy at Oxford University's Clarendon Laboratory in May 2013. [8] There he presented his ideas on a theory of everything called Geometric Unity. Physicists expressed skepticism about the theory.[8][9] Joseph Conlon of Oxford stated that some of the predicted particles would already have been detected in existing accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider.[8] Science writer Jennifer Ouellette criticized the colloquium in a blog for Scientific American, arguing that experts could not properly evaluate Weinstein's ideas because there was no published paper.

On April 1, 2021, Weinstein released a draft paper on Geometric Unity in a guest appearance on the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. Weinstein qualified in his paper that he "is not a physicist," but an "entertainer" and podcast host. It received strong criticism from the scientific community and was said to have "no visible impact" and "gaps both mathematical and physical in origin that jeopardize Geometric Unity as a well-defined theory, much less one that is a candidate for a theory of everything."

I don't know if Medium has copyright problems with the re-printing of entire articles. If this is a problem, delete it and I will post again with just an excerpt.

Thx. Sorry for the trouble.

“the most urgent issue on humanity’s plate is whether Putin will go nuclear in Ukraine?”

Hardly.

Aliens no, but UFOs seem to be, the mystery is out there

That's what caught your eye in this article.

That was just a stupid little throwaway line. In fact, it was just an imaginary self-conversation some hypothetical member of The Skeptical Inquirer crowd (whoever that is) might have...completely irrelevant to the point of this article.

I’m guessing we will be warned that the Aliens will destroy us unless we vote the way they want us to.

Lue is a trained liar. weinstein is either fool to believe Lue and be taken in, or he has been recruited. The kabuki theater is strong with this group.

In fact, let's post the entire paragraph to provide context for how frikken stupid your comment is:
The Skeptical Inquirer crowd will moan that their comrade has tumbled down the rabbit hole: Farewell, Eric, we hardly knew ye! Such a reaction evades a far more interesting and compelling question: Why is Weinstein exploring this rabbit hole? And why is he diving into it now — at a time one might reasonably conclude that the most urgent issue on humanity’s plate is whether Putin will go nuclear in Ukraine? Weinstein, after all, has provided occasional commentary on that evolving nightmare himself, urging people to pay attention to it.

The fact that Elizondo was a Army counterintelligence agent does not mean that what he has been saying lately is a lie.

If you believe he is lying, perhaps you should point out specifically what he is lying about.

If you read the article (just scan it a little), you will find that is its point.

Lue is CIA. The CIA is trying to control the narrqative on this phenomenon. Lue is part of their team. You figure it out, or be duped just like this ‘mathematician’.

I’ll tell what I believe in: “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy [science]”. That’s as true now as when Shakespeare wrote it in 1600.

Yes. That is my impression. No so-called "aliens"...but a very big mystery.

Some folks have said that by the time we begin to unravel this mystery, we will long for the days of simple aliens and shiny metallic UFOs.

That said, I have drawn no conclusions. Breadcrumbs are being dropped, but we are not being told what it is by anyone who professes to know.

Again I ask you, exactly what has Lue said that you disagree with? I know what he has said, but I am curious what specifically you find “misleading”?

He is misleading by omission. If you really believe the government is trying to figure out whats with these things then you are already duped. Lue has siad he is ‘ex cia’, which is a laugh.

If juicy facts were being withheld there would be leaks right and left - people can’t keep from talking.

“From Wiki:”

From me: no mention of evidence he’s seen of UFOs. The article is a waste of time.

This article is basically a discussion about how a well-known mathematician went from being a hardcore skeptic re: UFOs to being--not a believer per se, but--someone who believes there is a genuine mystery afoot...and that the government is about to make a big announcement re: disclosure of what it knows.

I don't think Weinstein has indicated whether or not he believes the government is going to "disclose" the truth or whether what might be disclosed could serve another purpose.

It's all still very mysterious. I am just following the story, trying not to just to conclusions, and posting articles that might be of interest to others who are following along.
