Eric Weinstein

Eric Weinstein is a PhD mathematician (Harvard, 1992) whose career has crossed six worlds rarely held together: fundamental theory, academic economics, financial markets, Silicon Valley, policy, and public discourse. He was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT under Institute Professor Isadore Singer, working in mathematical physics. As a Sloan Foundation fellow in mathematical economics at the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Harvard Economics Department, he and Dr. Pia Malaney co-founded and developed Geometric Marginalism — the extension of gauge theory into neoclassical economics. He spent the 2000s and early 2010s on Wall Street in risk and hedge-fund strategy, then served nearly a decade as managing director of Thiel Capital in Silicon Valley.

He is the creator and host of The Portal podcast, the originator of the Intellectual Dark Web, and the author of Geometric Unity — a geometrically unified theory of fundamental physics.
