The Physics of UFOs: Eric Weinstein + Hal Puthoff

YouTube ^ | February 11, 2022 | Jesse Michels

[snip] Eric Weinstein is a Managing Director at Thiel Capital, creator of geometric unity, a unified theory in physics, and the intellectual dark web, a loose coalition of intellectuals dedicated to free thought. Hal Puthoff is former CIA, NSA and AATIP (the government's official UFO investigation program). In the 70's, he oversaw Stargate: the government's psychic spy program at Stanford Research Institute. In this conversation, we discuss the physics of UFO's, private aerospace as the keepers of fundamental science and Hal's experience with parapsychology. Please enjoy 🛸👽

*** AMERICAN ALCHEMY is an original series hosted by Jesse Michels that explores the frontier of science and tech. Each week, we bring you exclusive interviews with some of the leading thinkers of our time. [/snip]

You know this is crackpot grifter snake oil stuff. It’s an evergreen market.

[RoosterRedux]

Eric Weinstein is one of my favorites. Very independent-minded and a brilliant physicist.

So is his brother Bret. For those who don't know, Bret used to be a professor of biology at Evergreen State College and eventually left because of Evergreen's woke agenda.

I haven't seen this video yet (it's dated about a year ago), but Eric has been shown some "insider evidence" by Lue Elizondo and others and has since said that he now knows the "Phenomenon" is real (i.e., there is something "non-human" making itself known to us).

IIRC, he has also signed an NDA preventing him from disclosing what he has seen. An NDA was required because those who showed him the "evidence" were also restricted by NDAs. Like other scientists (Garry Nolan of Stanford), he is now working with some quasi-government or -contractor labs studying the "Phenomenon."

The more (real) pure research that gets done, the more previously unknown things are learned, and previous views must be dumped. The idea that knowledge is mostly complete is itself a fiction.

Your post? Yes, it sure is.

[RoosterRedux]

Eric Weinstein is a world-class physicist. He's only considered a snake oil grifter by idiots who don't know any better.

We Freepers aren't idiots (and that includes you and, sometimes, even me). Take a look at Eric's credentials.

There is nothing credible or mildly convincing in this entire video.

You don't "update physics"!

Physics is what it is.

Our understanding of physics may be updated, but the nonsense presented here is the stuff of pot party theoretics.

[cgbg]

There are crackpots and snake oil salesman all over the territory.

There are serious folks as well.

That is the challenge—to separate the legit stuff from the fakery.

It is worth the effort—has been a hobby of mine for decades.

[Sirius Lee]

had disturbing interactions with Allister Crowley.

Jack Parsons. Effed around with the occult and found out. Blowed up real good.

[Reily]

Not just Scientology also Aleister Crowley’s Thelema and other assorted nonsense!

Scientists\engineers are not immune to nonsense.

H.P. Robertson passed in 1961, btw.

The Uncertainty Principle
H. P. Robertson
Phys. Rev. 34, 163 – Published 1 July 1929

Just a technicality—but pot is not very helpful in coming up with “new physics”—psilocybin is the drug that give visions of alien tech.

[SunkenCiv]

Parsons (1914-1952) co-founded JPL, but was big on self-medicating with booze and dope. He had a little mishap and blew himself up. Work accident. Like Wilhelm Reich, he did useful work, but unlike Reich, he didn't outlive his usefulness.

[ifinnegan]

The things you’re saying are kind of silly.

Real science is how we are communicating right now.

There are a lot of worse grifters than the lunatic fringe people, ufo enthusiasts etc…

There is corruption and abuse or power, lies manipulation.

It’s really bad and probably taints how you see everything.

[SunkenCiv]

No, it isn’t.

[dragonblustar]

Thank you so much for posting. Great show. I kept thinking how they used that “stigma” on Trump’s supporters through out and after his presidency.

[RoosterRedux]

For those who don’t know. Eric Weinstein is the creator of the intellectual dark web (IDW), which is a label applied to some commentators (like himself) who oppose identity politics, political correctness, and cancel culture in higher education and the news media within Western countries.

[cgbg]

There is no “real science”.

It is culture bound.

That is why the left is playing the games they are playing—trying to change the culture and change the language at the same time.

Future scientists will laugh at today’s scientists—the way we do at the folks in the 1800s who said airplanes were impossible.

[RoosterRedux]

Physics is what it is.

You mean to say that physics is "settled science"?;-)

[SunkenCiv]

Yup. And the DNC’s rank and file stooges do it up close and personal, which is helpful for weeding out people I no longer need to see.

[Reily]

Yes, I know!
Doing useful work still doesn’t make you immune to be taken in by nonsense.
