“I didn’t think I was going to finish college,Eric Weinstein said. He has a PhD in mathematical physics.
In this episode of the Making Sense podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Eric Weinstein and Ben Shapiro about the breakdown of shared values, the problem with identity politics, religion, free will, the primacy of reason, and many other topics.


From Harvard.
Eric Weinstein is a managing director of Thiel Capital in San Francisco. He is also a research fellow at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University. Weinstein speaks and publishes on a variety of topics including, gauge theory, immigration, the market for elite labor, management of financial risk and the incentivizing of risk taking in science. And he, along with brother Bret—whom I just did a podcast with in Seattle—has become an unusually powerful advocate for free speech.


“I’m an imposter,” he said.
Ben Shapiro is editor-in-chief of DailyWire.com, and host of “The Ben Shapiro Show,” the top conservative podcast in the nation, and a leading conservative speaker on college campuses, consistently defending free speech and open debate. Ben is the author of seven books, including The New York Times bestseller, Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America. He has also been a nationally syndicated columnist since age 17. He’s a graduate of UCLA and Harvard Law School.


“What do you mean?”

@EricRWeinstein<br>
“I didn’t have a thesis advisor.”
@BenShapiro
 
Meaning, he didn’t really do all the requirements.
 
But he got the degree.
 
And now he’s the Managing Director of Thiel Capital (Peter Thiel’s investment firm). And he’s host of the new podcast “The Portal.”
 
“What were your SAT scores?” I asked.
 
I wanted to find out if he was actually bad at math. Because he said this thing about learning disabilities.
 
He said, “A lot of parents have kids who are bright and smart and creative. And those kids are bringing home grades that are just so depressing. And the parents are pulling their hair out… In the standard sense, that population is probably [considered] learning disabled, but they are our future innovators.”
 
“Why?”
 
“People become incredibly inventive when they become isolated and terrified.”
 
When Eric thought he’d fail college, he stopped taking French and the required courses.
 
He loaded up on math courses. And said, “I, at least, want to find out what the universe is about while I’m here... and that turned out to pay off.”
