You will not forget it having lived through the last 8 years. Yet it was written by the killer at the close of the last millennium. theanarchistlibrary.org/libr… Ship of Fools Ted Kaczynski Ship of Fools 1999 theanarchistlibrary.org 175 487 69 2,590 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 11 “So you should be following the U.F.O. beat even if you don’t think aliens are out there — because the truth might be weird enough.” -Ross Douthat, NYT opinion. Many who found my position on UFOs bizarre will now instantly follow it because it is Ross’. nytimes.com/2023/06/10/opini… Opinion | Does the U.S. Government Want You to Believe in U.F.O.s? Are there crashed alien ships kept hidden in hangars? nytimes.com 107 54 12 702 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 11 I can’t tell you how strange it is to learn that 15-25% of your personal and professional life doesn’t care what is true. At all. They just care whether the official institutional narrative has yet shifted to include your position so that they won’t be called “Far Right” or… nitter.pw/i/web/status/166… 117 111 18 1,151 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 10 Such an odd feeling to have read this famous killer’s work at different levels. His fiction. His manifesto. His research. Sometimes you have to go easy on the available perfection, certainty and beauty of mathematics, lest you attempt to apply purity to the world of human souls. The Associated Press @AP Jun 10 BREAKING: Theodore “Ted" Kaczynski, known as the “Unabomber,” has died in federal prison, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons told the AP on Saturday. apnews.com/article/ted-kaczy… Show this thread 110 65 12 840 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 9 Why are we always guessing? I don’t get this. As I’ve been saying, there are some crazy stories here and no one has the overarching history. Know when you don’t know, and don’t have a good guess. That is what we do in science. We say “I don’t even have a guess at this point.” Mick West @MickWest Jun 9 My best guess, re: UFO Whistleblower. People who worked on or near crash retrieval and foreign technology exploitation were so compartmentalized that they came to think the code words used actually referring to aliens. The UFO "Invisible College" (Nolan, et al) ran with this. Show this thread 177 89 19 1,113 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 9 I still don’t have a good guess. It feels like at least five things stuck together: A proto-religion forming. A USG aerospace disinformation narrative. A story about foreign spying on US installations. A physics narrative from the 1950s & Golden Age of GR. Actual wildness. 36 34 3 467 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 9 But how much really weird stuff is there after you get rid of the first four which are definitely all real? I can’t tell you. Too much BS around the first 4. Just push for disclosure. Stop asking everyone what they think is true about every last development. *Something* is up. 110 45 8 621 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 8 Remember that “A sovereign nation should be allowed to do whatever it wants and it is no business of any other nations, no matter who neighbors it.” argument we heard everywhere? I have no idea why we are this dumb. The Wall Street Journal @WSJ Jun 8 China will pay Cuba to host a secret spy base, where Beijing could monitor American ships and electronic communications across the southeastern U.S. on.wsj.com/3qwtpYA 132 74 5 641 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 8 I can’t tell you how much inspiration I took from @PatcaseyBMX. Found him via @TheRWilly. Those 2-3 seconds in air are always poetry to me. He made it look natural, joyous and effortless. Thanks for the stream of pure thrills on Instagram. So sad to hear. instagram.com/reel/CkNBe8AAF… ✌PÄT €@$£¥ ✌️ (@patcaseybmx) • Instagram reel instagram.com 15 7 107 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 If biological aliens were here from others star systems in crafts that defy the current physics of the standard model and, more importantly, general relativity, I would be one of the few people who would have a guess on day one as to how they must have gotten here. It’s tempting. 52 21 11 553 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 I don’t think biological interstellar alien visitors using GR and the SM make much sense. So I try to have a war *inside* my own mind as to what is true. I have a genuine “Need to Know” as to whether this is BS NatSec space opera disinformation theater. Because to me, it is data. 21 13 3 439 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 What just happened isn’t data. It’s that a sober individual just pushed one of the many longstanding highly conserved NHI narratives collected from *many* diverse sober NatSec informants over the sworn testimony line. And it gets a LOT crazier from here. But it’s not science yet. 5 15 2 413 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 As I‘ve been saying, there is so much deliberate NatSec BS out here that our own scientists are being propagandized. We’re drilling holes in our own scientists’ lifeboat. Last time we saw this it was virologists/immunologists/epidemiologists being gaslit. Now it’s physicists. 5 25 3 457 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 Let me be very careful in what I am about to say. We have at least the appearance and optics of scientific self-sabotage. And wanting things to be true is how science dies. I fight like hell to promote my theory. But I’d sign on to another to know the truth if I was wrong. 14 25 1 505 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 We may be looking at the birth of a new UFO religion. Or a moment of contact. Or a long running Disinformation campaign. Etc. To go beyond GR, let’s be scientists & get NatSec out of our data first. Where is our data pruned of space opera disinformation and cultic religiosity? 23 19 1 411 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 What I want to know: Why was the Mansfield Amendment passed? Why did NSF fake a labor shortage in our MARKET economy destroying American STEM labor markets? What stopped the Golden Age Of General Relativity? Why was the SSC really cancelled? StringTheory & STAGNATION: WTF? 9 24 3 434 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 What the hell was the 1957 Behnson funded UNC Chapel Hill conference actually about? Why are we not stopping to QUESTION quantum gravity after 70 years of public *FAILURE* inspired by Babson-Behnson patronage of RIAS, the Institute of Field Physics and the precursor to Lockheed? 5 17 4 357 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 This is the 50th year of stagnation in the Standard Model Lagrangian. It is AS IF we are deliberately trying to forget how to do actual physics. Everyone who has succeeded in Particle Theory in standard terms is now over 70. This is insane. In 25 years there will be no one left. 13 35 3 443 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 Why are we not admitting that quantum gravity is killing physics and is the public respectable face of 1950s anti-gravity mania that lives on to murder all new theories in their cradle? Quantum Gravity is fake and works to stop actual physics. There. I said it. Now let’s talk. 46 52 7 639 Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein Jun 7 If you want to know whether there are biological interstellar visitors here observing us, the short answer is “Almost *certainly* not if they are using our current stagnant non-progressing theories of physics.” Let’s finally get serious about this whacky subject? Thanks. 🙏 117 68 9 862 Show this thread Load more
