Eric Weinstein also has a podcast of his own, the most recent episode of which features his original lecture detailing the Geometric Unity model he discussed on Rogan (though even the dumbed-down version flies right over my head): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7rd04KzLcg

> He has a particular kind of breadth-first associative intelligence that can cause listeners to become almost hypnotized by all the open cognitive loops his conversation creates

Well said. Eric is also gaining a reputation for coining labels, the best known being the "Intellectual Dark Web", alongside lesser-known acronyms like EGO (Embedded Growth Obligation), GIN (Gated Institutional Narrative), and DISC (Distributed Idea Suppression Complex).




Had the disorienting experience of listening to this very episode while absently browsing hacker news and reading this comment


My brother and I (both Portal listeners) were trying to recall & enumerate Eric's terms; we got the DISC, GIN, and EGO acronyms; I didn't remember that IDW was his term but that sounds right. Maybe the new one is GUT?
