Esteemed physicist Eric Weinstein claims that billionaire venture capitalist Marc Andreessen was told by the White House that the government has purposefully stagnated physics research. He was told that during the cold war entire areas of physics were classified and taken out of research communities and those fields went dark and never advanced. They also said they may do the same thing to AI. What physics do you think they've hidden and classified?

Lesser shielded reactors in subs and ship were secretly radiating people in the local area at rest energy. There's an expansion of a string when the material is in a force that ejects material into area.

He's esteemed by himself. Don't be antisemitic.

It's not logical for them to have universally paralyzed research, but Eric still doesn't want to fully commit himself to the schizo route of his own narrative and directly accuse the gubment of being a breakaway civilization with a higher understanding and application of physics.

It absolutely does, because they fabricated gigantic bombs that require current physics to function. The entire world order hangs on convincing the entire world that the current state of physics is accurate.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if Andreesen and Weinstein were right on this one. And I normally hate those guys. But from the perspective of someone who has nearly a decade of experience as a professional physicist, it is pretty clear that the funding agencies have been doing either a really shitty job at advancing physics, or they were purposely doing stuff to lead physics into a stalled situation. I don’t think it has much to do with the cold war, though; it started after the cold war and the subsequent brain drain of all the smart people who were previously behind the iron curtain. The strategy would have been suicide before there was an opportunity for the US to utterly defeat and mind-meld with its previous great competitor.

But let me elaborate on what has been going on since say 1995 or 2000. There has been a clear increase in government control from the top down on what physics research gets funded and what doesn’t. This in turn translates to who gets funding and who doesn’t, and who gets hired to be a tenured professor and who doesn’t. And if you look at the trends, there has been a massive shift away from who used to be considered “good” at physics in the old days toward 1) a bunch of people who try to push physics in a technology-centric way where we glorify computers and the world wide web and AI and all that physics-tangential shif and 2) yay diversity in physics! get woke physics anons, now we have black transwomen of color being our leaders; bash the patriarchy! (picrel)

both of these trends have been enforced top-down by the government funding agencies, continually, since about 2014 or so but were already present in the late 90s.

cat's out of the bag anon. someone will develop it somewhere on the planet

they could do it with technology that wouldn't guarantee supremacy but would cause a lot of headaches. or technology which they understand has some interesting outcome but they cannot crack it, thus they risk enemy would crack it before them, or technology that needs other tech developed first before they can use it or develop it further.
there's no legitimate reason to bury science if it offers more power over everyone else. makes no sense.

>>17089912
yes anon. I agree that China should be spending all its money on chasing vaporware hype at the level of trillions of dollars. Unironically that would be good for the economy

let’s take standard fission nuclear energy as an example. It was rolled out hardcore from the 60s-80s. We had the Simpsons on national TV where the Nuclear Powerplanf was where everyday dad Homer was supposed to be employed.

Around the exact same time we had a major handbrake pulled on nuclear energy because of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, The development got stopped in its tracks because of the soviet system causing a massive idiocy clusterfuck, and then the US realized it was in their interest to cause a similar anti-nuclear hysteria (albeit less so) here as well. The entire advancement of the energy infrastructure was halted in place and we rolled back to WWI technology on a dime. All because it was favorable to a certain configuration of geopolitical king-makers.

Nuclear energy for sure was one of those things where the elites stopped it from gaining traction, and the science has been stagnating for years as a result

yeah so you can sell oil to everyone.
you are conflating technology for science. the science never stopped. fission science has been researched and understood and even applied, albeit at smaller scale. the sabotage risk isn't worth the gains from it. when again, plenty oil to sell around.
harder to sell nuclear power plants. and once sold they're good for tens of years. where oil just burns up. so you constantly sell it.

>>17089915
if it's vaporware then they won't chase it, obviously.
but if it isn't...
we're not even into the neuromorphic phase of this tehnology, that's yet to come. baby steps atm but it's heading there.
what happens now is nothing lol. things are just getting started in this AI domain. if I had to guess I'd say the crazy shit is yet to come
