Oddbean new post about login | logout I haven't listened to the whole thing: not sure if he goes into his gauge tirade, but so far this is an interesting listen that reminds me of a conversation I had with a few based friends a couple nights ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYRYXhU4kxM
This was good, but I can't pin Weinstein down. He is obviously smart, but when he starts talking physics I can't follow him and I smell bullshit.
Yeah he’s not nearly as likable as his brother. His brother Brett is also insanely smart and has a way of conveying information in a very palatable way. Eric constantly talks down to people and really rubs me wrong. Having said that, his pod on Modern Wisdom was great. He’s hit or miss.
is a good one, IMO one of his best in recent years.
Agreed. His best.
This was really good for the talk about having a public persona. A little after two hours he makes the point about agency. Something like there are little cheat codes throughout that you can find and exploit to your benefit. I generally don’t like Eric, but I enjoyed this conversation, even the physics shit talking.
