>>12809052eric weinstein’s issue is clear if you read his PhD thesis. in his thesis (remember he was a MATH grad student) he gloats about how Sheldon Glashow owes him 5 dollars or something over a bet about group theory.
after he graduated he went immediately into finance and his math PhD thesis got only 2 citations over nearly 30 years.
he is a pompous fuck who thinks he knows more than physicists and this has been obvious since he was in grad school. he just has a chip on his shoulder and he needs to use his limited math-PhD tier knowledge to try and dunk on physics even though he knows nothing about physics and even in math he is pretty much a loser
