Eric Weinstein

I was not looking for a debate.

I wanted to make sure that Terrence had his position steel manned so that anything that he didn't know how to do within mathematics that was legit gave a chance to put his best foot forward before he got reviewed.

And I didn't ask to come on.

You asked to have me on.

I'm happy to do it because I'm a friend of the show.

Well, what I thought is I got to have to be honest.

I've been listening.

I was not so happy with certain things that happened in the podcast.

And then I started hearing the response to it.

And I was much more infuriated by the response than anything I heard in the podcast because I thought that a lot of people just used their position of greater formal education in some of these areas to be jerks and to be really dismissive and pretend that they couldn't understand things that you were saying.

No, I'm not kidding.

Because I think this thing goes out to millions of people.

Let me just say something else positive about Terrence.

What he just did was very big.

He said, thank you to the haters.

I haven't gotten to that plane of existence yet.

Some people just shouldn't be reading the comments.

It's not the online stuff.

It's the academic stuff.

The academic stuff is really – it's vicious stuff.
