Eric Weinstein has quite an impressive resume. The brilliant economist, who received a Ph.D. in mathematical physics from Harvard University, coined the term “the dark web.” Weinstein is the former director of Thiel Capitol. He also the host of The Portal podcast.
In a recent interview with Modern Wisdom podcast host Chris Williamson, Weinstein shares a chilling explanation of why he believes it’s entirely possible that Trump will not be allowed to be President in 2024.
Modern Wisdom host Chris Williamson: What are the odds that Joe Biden has a debilitating event between now and November, including death? So he runs a one in 20 chance of dying in any given year or above. That I don’t think you know whether he’s even going to make it to November. A debilitating event could have been a debilitating public event.
Eric Weinstein: I purposely left it vague, and I didn’t say the other part of it, which I now feel comfortable saying, which is I don’t know whether—I don’t know whether Donald Trump will be allowed to become President.
Chris Williamson: What do you mean by that?
Eric Weinstein: I think that there’s a remarkable story, and we’re in a funny game, which is, are we allowed to say what that story is? Because to say it, to analyze it, to name it, is to bring it into view.
I think we don’t understand why the censorship is behaving the way it is. We don’t understand why it’s in the shadows. We don’t understand why our news is acting in a bizarre fashion. So let’s just set the stage, given that that was in February. Um—there is something that I think Mike Benz has just referred to as the Rules-Based International Order. It’s an interlocking series of agreements, tacit understandings, explicit understandings, clandestine understandings about how the most important structures keep the world free of war and keep markets open. And there has been a system in place, whether understood explicitly or behind the scenes or implicitly, that says that the purpose of the two American parties is to prune the field of populist candidates so that whatever two candidates exist in a face-off are both acceptable to that world order.
