Eric Weinstein

Eric Ross Weinstein (; born October 26, 1965) is an American investor and podcast host. As of 2021, he was managing director for the American venture capital firm Thiel Capital. Weinstein coined the term "intellectual dark web" to refer to a loose network of public figures opposed to left-wing identity politics and political correctness in the late 2010s. He has advanced what he claims is a theory of everything called "Geometric Unity". Geometric Unity has been met with skepticism by, and has had no measurable impact on, the scientific community.

  Eric Weinstein is a PhD mathematician (Harvard, 1992) whose career has crossed six worlds rarely held together: fundamental theory, academic economics, financial markets, Silicon Valley, policy, and public discourse. He was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT under Institute Professor Isadore Singer, working in mathematical physics. As a Sloan Foundation fellow in mathematical economics at the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Harvard Economics Department, he and Dr. Pia Malaney co-founded and developed Geometric Marginalism — the extension of gauge theory into neoclassical economics. He spent the 2000s and early 2010s on Wall Street in risk and hedge-fund strategy, then served nearly a decade as managing director of Thiel Capital in Silicon Valley. [...] He is the creator and host of The Portal podcast, the originator of the Intellectual Dark Web, and the author of Geometric Unity — a geometrically unified theory of fundamental physics. ## Selected Praise > "Extremely smart, extremely quick."

Weinstein received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard University in 1992 under the supervision of Raoul Bott. In his dissertation, "Extension of Self-Dual Yang-Mills Equations Across the Eighth Dimension", Weinstein showed that the self-dual Yang–Mills equations were not peculiar to dimension four and admitted generalizations to higher dimensions. ## Career ### Finance

  Today, I sit down with someone who challenges everything. Comment ‘Eric’ and I’ll personally DM you the full conversation. Please welcome, Eric Weinstein to The Diary Of A CEO. Eric has spent most of his life inside powerful systems: academia, finance, Silicon Valley. And what he’s learned from the inside is that something isn’t working… @ericrweinstein is a Harvard-trained mathematician and physicist who spent 30 years creating his own ‘Theory of Everything’ to challenge Albert Einstein’s physics equation and explain how the universe really works. We spoke about: - How modern life is just a distraction from reality? - What he was too scared to go public about…. - Why Eric believes the apocalypse has already begun, and how we missed it?
