I personally think that the best thing for me would be fuck you money. I would like to be immunized from the market through fuck you money rather than immunized from the market through stoicism.

Eric Weinstein Would Rather Depend on Ads Than a Patreon Following
All of the really great options in handling a pandemic have been foreclosed by our leadership. I think there is no concept of leadership at all. I don't think in the era in which we live we have seen someone behave as a leader. If I were Anthony Fauci, for example, and I really cared about saving the maximum number of lives, he would say 'For for better or worse, I am associated with so many negatives that I believe that my presence here is, in fact, detrimental to our objectives.'

Eric Weinstein Thinks COVID-19 Vaccines Are Riskier Than Claimed
I don't trust these people, either. I want Anthony Fauci out of his chair yesterday. I can't stand to listen to him. I can't stand that the Surgeon General lied to me under Trump. I can't stand that Nancy Pelosi wanted me to go and put myself in danger in order that we didn't hurt businesses on Chinese Lunar New Year. I still took the vaccine. I don't think it's completely safe.

Although He Got Their COVID-19 Vaccine, Eric Weinstein Doesn't Trust J&J
You're not crazy for fear that vaccines aren't as safe as claimed. You're not crazy for thinking that the public health people are lying to you and have lied to you.

Eric Weinstein Doesn't Trust COVID-19 Vaccines; Ivermectin Has Merit
I think that the ethics of individuals taking on institutions are very sweet. The institution is not going to get harmed. The institution may be diminished, it may have
fewer benefactors, let's say, but an institution isn't going to take its own life.

Eric Weinstein Thinks the Ethics of Individuals Taking on Institutions Are 'Very Sweet'
What's going on with Bret [Weinstein], what's going on with Ivermectin, the Joe Rogan podcast, with all of this stuff is downstream of a total leadership vacuum.
