Jeffrey Epstein was a product of at least one element of the intelligence community. I would bet money on it.

Steven Bartlett (0:34)

The CIA, FBI.

Eric Weinstein (0:36)

I don't know who ran him, but he knew a tremendous amount about my scientific work in ways that he wasn't supposed to. Very powerful people told me I needed to meet him. He certainly was not a financier in any standard sense. That was a cover story. I need to know what this thing was, and I want to know why people don't investigate it. I want to know why nobody asks for the filings. But I think more than anything, we don't trust our scientists, because our scientists are the most powerful people in our society.

So do you think science is being controlled so that it can be used in a way that's beneficial?

Eric Weinstein (1:06)

Let's put it this way.

SPEAKER_3 (1:07)

Eric Weinstein is a renowned mathematician, and one of the most fearless and provocative thinkers of our time. He dissects the failures of science, exposes elite networks, and proposes bold new theories that could save humanity.

Eric Weinstein (1:19)

So top of mind for me at the moment is the apocalypse and tropical fruit. I'm not kidding. You're looking at the end, man.

Steven Bartlett (1:25)

Do you really think this is the start of the end?

Eric Weinstein (1:27)

Of course it is. You look at how much has happened in the last month, and the big problem is that we share one atmosphere. All of humanity's eggs are in one basket.

Steven Bartlett (1:36)

So what needs to happen to get me a future?

Eric Weinstein (1:38)

So I think Elon is 100% right. You gotta get to another sphere. But he's being a complete b***h when it comes to science, and he's being a total hero when it comes to engineering. But you can't engineer your way to the stars with the science we have. The physics opens the universe too.

But we have a real problem. A new idea in physics changes the balance of power in the world. The desire of our government is to get the science to give us as much power as possible. But then they castrate the scientists, belittle them, destroy their families, their lives, their ability to earn, because our government isn't good enough to keep its own secrets. My employer was a special informant to the FBI. There's a doctrine that says physicists don't have free speech. They're stopping the world's most important group from making progress. Physics is the only thing that's going to get you a future. So let's talk about this.
