10 Things We Learned From Eric Weinstein On The Joe Rogan Experience
2. The Necessity For Revolution Against The Establishment
One thing that stuck out in this episode compared to the previous times Weinstein has featured on the JRE, was the reiteration of his belief in the need for a fundamental upheaval in the current American political establishment.
An interesting topic that the two discuss early in the episode is the differences between the new media of which the JRE is a part of, compared to the traditional news media in the US. Weinstein points out that while the viewership of traditional news outlets is decreasing, they still wield a large amount of power and influence, particularly within the US political system.
On several occasions Eric explains his belief of an impending revolution from people dissatisfied with the current state of the American government, and even states that he supports the idea of radical change.
For someone as considered as Weinstein, the fact that he is openly advocating civil disobedience is a pretty big deal, and emblematic of the strange times we're living in.
