Eric Weinstein Doesn't Understand Economics

Everyone knows by now that when Eric Weinstein pretends to be a genius physicist, he's actually just a grifting fraud posturing for science illiterate laypeople to manipulate them with propaganda. But did you know that he tries to do the same thing with economics? It's true, he pretends that he and his wife have revolutionized the field, but nobody will acknowledge them because they're stupid buttfaces. Well unfortunately for him, just like how physicists did eventually read Geometric Unity and explain how it's literally nothing, economists have caught wind of his claims regarding economics, and are now doing the same thing there too. One such economist, Matthijs van Veelen, joins me in this video to help us understand how Eric has no clue what he's talking about in this field. Enjoy!

Everyone knows by now that when Eric Weinstein pretends to be a genius physicist, he's actually just a grifting fraud posturing for science illiterate laypeople to manipulate them with propaganda. But did you know that he tries to do the same thing with economics? It's true, he pretends that he and his wife have revolutionized the field, but nobody will acknowledge them because they're stupid buttfaces. Well unfortunately for him, just like how physicists did eventually read Geometric Unity and explain how it's literally nothing, economists have caught wind of his claims regarding economics, and are now doing the same thing there too. One such economist, Matthijs van Veelen, joins me in this video to help us understand how Eric has no clue what he's talking about in this field. Enjoy!
