If you knew a bit about how modern Russia works, you wouldnt be surprised. When you learn about such curiosities as the russian government funding our local equivalent of hells angels and using them as a hit squad to dispose of political enemies and using them to fight in the ukranian war, you begin to understand. The next wave of understanding hits you when you see a scene such as a good friend from college you know being being beaten up and dragged away to a police van by riot policemen, because you happened to be drinking an espresso at a cafe in the center of moscow at the wrong time to do it. You see and hear so many such curious things that questions become normal.

This was very interesting until Kasparov started calling Gabbard an «Assad supporter». Not only is she not a supporter, but the entire Syrian situation is Iraq all over again. Intelligence lies, media lies, OPCW reports are supressed and unpropagandized truth is close to non-existant. Hearing Kasparov repeat the media takling points was very sad. Maybe there is some truth to him being an intelligence operative after all.

This was a good conversation, but I feel it could have been much improved if Garry wasn’t in this mode of frantic interruption. He seldom lets Eric reach the natural end of a sentence without butting in. It comes across as quite rude and impatient. Perhaps his chess-oriented mind has a habit of anticipating so many future outcomes that it is tedious and distressing for him to engage in a relatively more straightforward exchange of information. Whatever the cause, it seems like a habit that he should try to break, or at least improve upon. It will really help him communicate better in public.

Kasparov with his analytical thinking, great memory, and the ability to process vast amounts of various data simultaneously; and Weinstein with his deep understanding and great awareness for those subtle complexities of thought, which he is able to convey in easily comprehensible and carefully formulated manner.

Either I'm insane or the comments are. Throughout the entire episode, I've kept getting frustrated at Eric for interrupting Garry and not letting him finish his points. Kind of like Joe Rogan does to many of his guests unintentionally. But everyone in the comments seems to be angry on Garry for "not budging" and being "one-sided". Okay, maybe that can be applied to the political part of the episode but look at the chess/AI/intelligence part of the episode. Eric kept interrupting Garry at almost every single point and so many points were lost due to Eric interrupting, whether to ask a new question, make some sort of an analogy or whatever else. I wanna hear the man's interesting points. And even in the political side of the episode, fine - you people may know your stuff better than others, but I, as a non-expert in politics, want to hear the perspective Garry Kasparov has, his reasoning, what he knows or believes, the stories he's telling, etc., to the full extent, but I couldn't because Eric kept interrupting again. Like the mechanism of Putin's activity that Garry was talking about and Eric wanting to make a parallel with the US, alt-right remarks, media and whatever else we've heard a million times before. I wanted to hear more so that I could understand the points better, before Weinstein forced his point of view on top.

Langan won’t talk to anyone who is very astute in mathematics, physics, and mathematical physics. He is afraid to be scrutinized by someone who won’t be impressed by his jargon and eloquence, someone who will see what he is saying more clearly and dismantle it. He only talks to reporters who don’t understand the large leaps he makes and semantic gymnastics. He banks on the fact if you search “highest IQ” his name appears amongst a list. Everyone wants to be Einstein, a person who comes in from outside of the discipline and changes the way we view the world, it’s a lofty goal, and a worthy one, but not all of them can be right. And the fact that Langan runs from his ideas being dissected with a sharp knife, tells us all we need. What good is a theory if you simply claim it’s correct but live in a intellectual vacuum.

Eric: Gary is very pent up. He has said a lot of things (In books, mostly) and does not feel that his insights, predictions and ideas have been adequately acknowledged by his peer group. This is because they largely have not been. If you will allow me to grotesquely overstep my bounds and tell you what the next interview should be, it is this. Invite him and his wife to spend a weekend with you and your wife. The first day is whatever it turns out to be. Day 2 is a salon where you choose the right 1 to 4 other people to join you (probably at your home, probably with no cameras at all). Your next portal interview with him should be a loosely structured reprise of what the two of you conclude to have been your greatest collaborative hits from the weekend.

You are a genius! -What you said would allow them to have a MUCH better conversation!

Great stuff - many thanks!

Great interview. You both touched on an important point that was lost, namely that today the vast majority of people don't know and are not interested in history. To be always in the present moment is to be infantilized; I think that's an important component in the politics of this moment in time.

For a moment, I thought the whole podcast was going to be in Russian. Amusing, but not speaking Russian, I felt like I was going to miss out.

Amazing As a long time chess player, and a long time Eric Weinstein fan, it's amazing to hear these two minds clash in the Podcast space. Bryan Callen, Joe Rogan, and Sam Harris were all brilliantly correct when they said your voice would be a unique one, bringing a class, and a depth of knowledge heretofore unseen in the space. Thank you, Eric

That was a good talk, in the sunset!

really great conversation.

Best talk yet, Eric. Love the vibrancy of the talk, the back and forth. Super excited to listen to your second podcast with him. Was very nice to hear you talk forward a lot more rather than maintain passivity. Love the disagreements everytime and educated conjecture about macro-politics in general. I'm listening closely.

Garry is so insightful he changed his surname to prevent being associated with filthy Harvy's 45 years in advance.

@Eric you asked, "Gary, why are you still alive?" This was just a few minutes after discussing the needle in the haystack concept of disinformation. The claims of Putin's detractors are irrelevant in the chaos of competing narratives.

I work is plastics compounding. The engineering team is brilliant. They really have that beautiful mathematical mind, but it takes that special person who can integrate humanity with technology and create a time-saving tool. Our formulation system was programmed by our senior engineer to automatically create a regulatory data sheet, based on inputs from the formulation. That took my job and made me twice as efficient, if not more. Prior to this I was analysing each CAS# for a regulatory restriction. My point, the creativity of people are necessary, to make the machines better.

Other way around man, Eric has a habit of cutting people off mid thought-train and usually they go along with it. It's just a conversational habit that doesn't mesh well with people like Garry who tend to be full speed ahead in the way they think and talk. All of the painfulness of this chat could have been avoided if Eric just gave him more room to speak but to be fair the nature of the conversation itself plays a part there too as well as the eventual time constraints (I know multiple hours is a long time but they covered a lot of ground) You can see Eric do this with many guests and they show mild signs of frustration too- other guests just roll with it better. Daniel Schmachtenberger, Lex Fridman, Sam Harris and even Joe Rogan are examples of people who just let Eric interject mid sentence and roll with it despite what I would call obvious frustration

I'm fairly sure alphazero has performed some brilliancy type maneuvers.

Great questions from Eric and a great episode overall considering how 'bad' the actual interview was. There seemed to be a lot depth and interesting conversation to be had under distracted answers that were given. Less interruptions and tangents from Gary will go a long way in the next interview, which I'm definitely looking forward to, Gary has interesting things to say.

A very dissatisfying interview. Kasparov was over excited and had unconvincing answers to questions he wasn't even asked.

highly disagree. He's just straightforward

Thank you Eric.

Kasparov had a very dominant persona - Eric navigated this masterfully.

Damn.... Eric. Had me scrambling for the CC button like mad... lol

I trust Eric's ideas more than Garry's

phil b, yeah I heard that 😄. Question is, why do people automatically think he has great things to say on other subjects. The old Mensa problem, in short. When you're intelligent, it doesn't really say that much about you at all. His opposition to Putin also can't be it, as that seems to be a little superficial. It lacks a real hitting critique. It really just isn't much more than "Putin bad". I agree with that somewhat, but why is that Garry, WHY?

I remember this joke theory that got floated a while back, about how Batman did actually have a superpower. His superpower - this theory said - was that any time other people were either in conflict or collaboration with him, they would become stupid; and this power accounts for how Batman could always come up with the best crime-fighting ideas in the Justice League, and always defeat his brilliant foes when they made stupid mistakes. Gary Kasparov - a strategic genius if that term even means anything - comes and sits in a room with Eric Weinstein and can't even come up with a decent idea about why Putin hasn't tried to have him killed yet. Somewhat prior to this, Sam Harris - who has spent a couple decades training himself in meditative techniques and have spoken eloquently about how meditation helps you detach from emotional reactions - shows himself to be unable to detach from his emotional reactions about Nassim Taleb. I'm just sayin'.

I use whatever reference points come to mind. This one was actually one of the best, since it references pop culture media and requires a fairly small amount of explanation.

An amazing podcast

Interviewer does an amazing job assisting the interviewee to get his points across. Feeds him the right information and presents helpful metaphors/analogies. All the while having a humble attitude and not being overbearing. Exceptional job!! 5⭐️+

Maybe you should re title this episode as "Neo-con hour with Kasparov". Assad isn't fighting an insurgency, he is fighting a proxy army funded by the US and Israel.

"My bladder can go on forever" What a champ

I need some help here. What was this conversation? Eric asked Gary why he is still alive. I feel there was an underlying discussion happening here that I can't identify. Can anyone elaborate on exactly what this was? 🤔

This was a very nice episode
