Powerful Insights From Dr. Bret Weinstein:

“There’s two kinds of competition, you’ve got exploitation competition, and interference competition. If I bomb your factory so you can’t make stuff, I am arguably competing with you. But it’s a destructive kind of competition. If I try to make better stuff than you in order to out compete you in the market, and you try to make better stuff than me because you want to succeed, then the point is, what we get is an improvement in the quality of the things we have access to.”

“But if you’ve lived inside the academy, you know also that a field like climate science at the moment will not welcome countervailing evidence. And what that means is that the evidence you see doesn’t have the implication that you think it has. Even if the studies you see are accurate, you’re not seeing the studies that weren’t done that would have provided a different view.”

“But in [navigating controversial topics], you are more or less saying, oh, I know what’s probably there, and we can’t afford to know that in any factual way. So that can’t possibly be right, because how do you know if you haven’t gone down that route?”

“If you imagine that there’s a lot of productivity to be discovered through collaboration, well, if you decide only to collaborate with people who look like you, how far you’re going to get is going to be limited, because some of the best people to collaborate [with] probably don’t look like you.”
