Our American Alchemists this week are Eric Weinstein and Eric Davis.
This is the conversation I have been trying to make happen for years. Eric Davis is one of the most credentialed investigator of the UFO crash retrieval program alive with an eidetic memory. Astrophysics PhD from the University of Arizona, 30 years in the field, security clearances through AAWSAP, formally deputized by the DIA under program manager James Lacatski (who himself claims he has stepped inside a UFO and breached the hull). Eric Weinstein is one of the most technically gifted minds outside the classified world, someone Davis himself identified as one of only three people technical and heterodox enough to engage with this material. I put them in a room and let them go at it. This conversation was nothing short of historic.
