I mean, you can have academics who've never published a paper claiming that they have revolutionized the entire world of physics and that the only reason they haven't won a Nobel Prize, I don't know who I'm talking about here, the only reason they haven't won a Nobel is because of professional jealousy.

I mean, it's astonishing that a guy like Eric Weinstein can be platformed so highly when he has, you know, and I think maybe it's that I am the son of a physicist who understands, and I will say not a published physicist, he had some patents, but he wasn't an academic for most of his career. He was in business. But it is astonishing that people whose life is entirely made out of podcasts

can bash the standards of academia when, trust me, academia, they cut each other down well enough. If a theory has no legs, you will find out. And if a theory has legs, you will find out. I know this so well. I recently did this. Sorry, I'm bashing all the pistons.

Academia gets bashed. I mean, the thing, once again, that I know, I was good at practical mathematics. Like, through geometry, I did well. And then I got into pre-calc, and my mind, I couldn't concentrate at all because nothing meant anything anymore. And my father, I remember, kept saying, you've got to get through calculus because it's beautiful.

It's music that you can't hear until you know the language. And he would try to explain concepts of higher physics to me. And he would just get the greatest sadness because all he could do was tell a story that was vaguely like it, but he couldn't actually explain it to me because the language was math. And unless you're speaking math, you don't know physics.

You can have a beautiful layman's fascination with it. But even like when I tried to read The Elegant Universe, I put that book down for one day and I came back and he's trying to explain it in simple math. that someone doing simple math, but his simple math was far beyond my capacity to understand, is meaningless to me. And...

I can appreciate it and I can appreciate the beautiful metaphors of the parts of physics that I can understand. But the idea that there are, it's like to appreciate that people have great expertise and that those people stand on the shoulders of the people who built that. They stand on everyone who came before it and that the attributions for those things are really important.

And the new discoveries right now, especially in something like physics, higher mathematics, are very difficult to make. Because the questions are so large, it requires massive teams on any paper. And the scrutiny is so high. And the scrutiny is so high.
