A reminder that Ron DeSantis is trying to have a data scientist imprisoned for not fudging COVID statistics, and Eric Weinstein thinks it's more important to defend anti-vaxxers. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01/19/rebekah-jones-florida-covid-jail/)

you must understand that this is a filthy WOMZ, whose tiny ladybrain could not comprehend the powerful BIG BRAIN IQ takes on covid that eric weinstein or james damore have. if ron desantis was a college kid with blue hair, and the scientist was a caliper wielding white guy, then desantis might be a threat.

Where’s Eric’s take on this?

DeSantis is fucking awful. This is absurdly blatant intimidation and scientific censorship.

Who’s this Eric Weinstein fella? I’m new to this sub

A contrarian 'physicist', paid by the anti-democratic (and NRx adjacent) Thiel, member of the nebulous Intellectual Dark Web. He has [a wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Weinstein). But basically he is just a 'what if the libs are wrong' contrarian centrist hot take machine pretending to be profound. E: [here is a random tweet of his showing just what I mean.](https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1351829685949251588) (And yes, he prob is anti postmodernism).
gross.
**[Eric Weinstein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric Weinstein)** Eric Ross Weinstein (born October 26, 1965) is an American managing director of Thiel Capital, Peter Thiel's investment firm, a position he has held since 2015. Though not an academic physicist, he proposed a unified theory of physics in 2013. He and his brother Bret Weinstein coined the term Intellectual Dark Web to refer to an informal group of pundits.
