TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

I did the inside of the double helix.

TRIGGERnometry

But look at the beautiful sugar phosphate backbone twirling around the outside.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

That's 100% Francis.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

And so you look at it, and you think, OK, the world's greatest scientific partnership ever

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

It's the US on the inside and the UK on the outside.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

I mean, it just doesn't get better than that for me.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

And I could go on and on and on about what I got from the UK that I could never have gotten from anything else.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

You're in charge of that legacy.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

And you're screwing it up.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

We want the confidence.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

We want you guys to be the great orators of our time.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

You know, how much do we lean on Churchill?

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

Again, a complex product of America and the UK.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

It's very important to us if we are going to be the major power that the UK play its role.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

Well, in multiple ways.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

First of all, there was a question about testing the nuclear weapon for the simple purpose of reminding us of what we're talking about to scare the crap out of us so we can get another 80 years of peace.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

But the other thing is if we test them within our scientific programs, then we will have more lethal weapons because we will be more assured that we know how they behave.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

We've lost a lot of knowledge about how these weapons behave by letting that atrophy.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

So it really matters a great deal whether it's underground, whether it's above ground or underground nuclear testing.

TRIGGERnometry
Is This The End of Humanity? - Eric Weinstein

You know, the underground stuff doesn't have the same impact, and the above-ground stuff has terrible consequences.
