Hey Bob, I actually watched all 2+hrs of your convo with Timothy Nguyen, and again, I have to agree with Martin S - boring. You're not going to get many clicks with that. However, The sub-plot thickens, i.e. motivation and personality.

Hey Bob, I actually watched all 2+hrs of your convo with Timothy Nguyen, and again, I have to agree with Martin S - boring. You're not going to get many clicks with that. However, The sub-plot thickens, i.e. motivation and personality.
What was/is Nguyen's? Apparently, there are only a few dozen scientists capable of understanding the gist of Weinstein's theory. And almost all hardly gave it any consideration at all. Maybe the motivation was that age old one, jealousy.
Jealousy's root is fear that an object will be lost/stolen from you. ... Y'all can take the plot from there.
On the other hand, maybe it's that, almost as old, hero complex? Would Tim know? I doubt it.
How to know? Psychoanalysis? Takes a long time and has many variables. Meditation? Say a week-long silent retreat? In essence with meditation you're talking with yourself, or is it 'god'?
Joe Rogan's (and others') solution is 'shrooms. Again, an interface with 'god'.
A very thought provoking post, Bob. Thank you. Keep it up.
But the nature of discovery should motivate those others not towards jealousy but towards "Eric's on to something but let ME be the one to actually demonstrate it." Even if Weinstein is the first to get the broad outlines, I assume being the one to nail the details and proofs and get on the right side of things early is a stronger motivating force than jealousy if they think there's something to the theory.
The simpler explanation is just that Weinstein is wrong, and he's wrong enough that it's not worth spilling ink over.
Hi Paul, the jealousy would stem from all the attention (and maybe money) Eric is getting. Bob tried to tease that out of Tim, a couple times. Why IS Nguyen wasting time and ink on a theory without merit?
Good question. I think it’s plausible that, as Nguyen said, he started as a fan of Weinstein, and when he heard him pontificate on an issue Nguyen knows about his bullshit detector went off and he did a little digging. Weinstein may not be on as many people’s radar within the physics community, but that’s just a guess.

Now, about that cat video?
