Eric’s brother Brett Weinstein made headlines by resigning (along with his wife, Heather Heying) from Evergreen College in the wake of the college’s “Day of Absence” controversy.

Mind-blowing genius on display.

The full interview is three-and-a-half hours long, and maybe you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, but here’s a 10-minute clip about Big Tech trying to influence the 2024 presidential election:
