“Whatever it is is not trying really trying to fool you, it’s trying to instruct you…. It’s a set of instructions for how to keep you job. You’re allowed to disagree, it’ll set the boundaries of the disagreement, it’ll set the topics of the disagreement… and you’re given a choice.  You can choose to understand whatever you want and you can choose to say whatever you want.  But if you say what you understand to be true, you can know what the consequences are.  You may lose your marriage, you may lose your job, you may lose your friends…. you’re signing up for whatever Thanksgiving dinner we have planned for you.  We are talking to your uncle, we are talking to your spouse.”  -Eric Weinstein
