OK I think I figured it out.
Weinstein has a theory called “Geometric Unity” that he thinks is a Grand Unified Theory of Physics, that people don’t give respect to.
He think Bitcoiners should use their wealth to “save” physics, something about crypto making distributed computing and that these new theories will make lightspeed/faster-than-light travel real.
Digital conservation is probably some data privacy, preservation and security thing
Peter Thiel believed in the scapegoat mechanism
Scapegoating is a hidden phenomenon because we only recognize it when we see it in others, but never in ourselves. Other people’s scapegoats appear to be innocent victims, falsely accused of wrongdoing, and that is indeed what they are. But our own scapegoats appear to us as our anxious child, unemployed overweight sibling or as guilty evildoers who deserve our hatred and the punishment we righteously mete out against them. We always see the innocence of other people’s scapegoats but never our own. That is why we are all always at risk of harming an innocent person or group without ever realizing it.
My best guess he's considering turning his bullshit theory of physics into a space propulsion grift (as many have done; see Woodward effect, EMDrive, Cannae Drive, etc).
There aren’t nearly enough cans of aerosol to inhale for this level of convoluted drivel to make any sense even if you were take ripping straight bongs for a solid week as the normative baseline.
Literally the sort of galaxy brain nonsense one could expect from a comp sci bro on shrooms in San Francisco ten years ago. Hippie-yuppie ancap metaphysics.
"Weinstein is reading Land on Bitcoin," or, another new low for humanity none of us had any reason to suspect we'd reach despite how bad things are. All we need is to stick Ben Shapiro or Joe Rogan somewhere in that sentence & I for one am outta here
He is either vastly brilliant beyond my comprehension, or way dumber
than me, or telling a joke that is incredibly unfunny, or brilliantly
funny beyond my comprehension.

TIL about Eric’s super secret theory of “geometric unity,” or as a
writer in Scientific American put it back in 2013, “Eric Weinstein’s
Amazing New Theory That Solves Every Puzzling Conundrum in Theoretical
Physics Only He Hasn’t Written An Actual Paper Yet So Physicists Can’t
Check All Those Hard Mathematical Details But Trust Us, It’s Gonna Be
Awesome!”

Wait wait I spoke too soon. Turns out, Eric *has* published extensively on GU, in what both Richard Feynman and Murray Gell-Mann have both called indisputably the most important professional global forum for theoretical physics: The Joe Rogan Show. https://youtu.be/wf0_nMaQ6tA
Ah, so it's the good old EY model of wanting to be worshipped for being "the ideas guy" while some faceless drones do all the boring hard stuff.
And now he's angry at academia not taking him seriously for that.
It’s time. Put distributed computing on a bundle. Stop worshiping the
initial blockchain innovation.
This part doesn’t really seem so bad. But…
Time to move to full digital physics with space-time replaced by the
networked computers in distributed computing, and by the Observerse in
actual physics. We can’t stay here. 🙏
Inmendham (the antinatalist) remains my favourite physics quack. Much
prefer the depressive oversimplified approach expounded in excruciating
detail (with expletives) to the Chris Langan/Eric Weinstein “you’re too
dumb to read the paper so just trust me bro.”
I think it's because he always tries to sound too smart. He's intellectually insecure because he wants to go down as a big name, but instead he's just a smart guy that works in finance.
Time to move to full digital physics with space-time replaced by the
networked computers in distributed computing, and by the Observerse in
actual physics. We can’t stay here. 🙏——nah, I’m good.
The fuck is this even supposed to mean?
it appears Weinstein is reading Land on Bitcoin (and that’s a separate mountain of shite)
He is either vastly brilliant beyond my comprehension, or way dumber than me, or telling a joke that is incredibly unfunny, or brilliantly funny beyond my comprehension.

Is he testing a new GPT-implementation? Or some new drugs?
Because I can’t make sense of this word-salad.
he just posts this shit on twitter acting like it makes sense and everyone believes him
This part doesn’t really seem so bad. But…
I think Eric accidentally all the drugs.

He really rubs me the wrong way…not sure why.
