I find Weinstein very irritating. This whole GU thing is just another example. It is the typical mix of “I have discovered the extremely important X, the establishment is oppressing me.” So far X has included a theory of everything, a conspiracy by academia to keep wages low, a nobel prize worthy discovery by his brother on mouse models and a nobel prize worthy economic theory he helped his wife develop. He had some good stuff on his podcast sure but it just isn’t worth the effort when it is interspersed with these self-aggrandising narratives. I also question his motives when he quit recording his podcast for no reason despite talking about how lucrative it was (?) and going on and on about the importance of the community he was building, and the ‘distributed idea suppression complex’ which his podcast was supposed to combat.
