I can't listen to much of American Alchemist. Something about the way Jesse presents things or speaks or ??? annoys me a good bit.

Agreed, I can't stand him. I'm hoping he won't be doing much talking and will let the other two butt heads.

Can't stand him either but have to watch some of his pieces because you don't hear the people he talks to elsewhere.

I don't mind him that much, until I remember he got his start schlepping for Peter Thiel, then I remember I hate him and his ilk.
I find Eric Weinstein more annoying than Jesse Michels though. Both Thiel disciples, but Weinstein is even more full of hot air. He presents himself as some great physicist. He has some airy "theory of everything" called geometric unity that he has never published a real paper on. In fact, he's never published a physics paper period. His Phd. was in math, he's been an investor as his trade, and his physics background seems more like a hobby that he likes to come on podcasts and blow hot air about like he's some physics genius.
Every time somebody brings up hypothetical government reverse engineering programs with him, as in the podcast above (have not yet watched, only seen a few clips referenced), he makes the same criticisms about not having real physicists in these programs so they can actually understand what's going on!. As if he knows all the physicists worth knowing when he's not even one himself. And at the same time he criticizes having EE's on such hypothetical programs, because he doesn't even realize that an EE with their PHd probably has as much or more applicable knowledge of physics and experimentation for such reverse engineering scenarios as physicists do.
Total fraud. He's such a fraud, and his theory has so little merit to it, that its really a wonder as to why people bring him on to talk at all ? Backed by Thiel to spread misinformation? Weinstein's actual real-world job is "Managing Director" in Thiel Capital when he's not pretending to be a physicist on podcasts.
