  Ok so I thought Eric was just a grifter, but now I&apos;m convinced he actually views himself as the main character of reality. A grifter wouldn&apos;t give a talk in front of economists about economics without knowing anything about it. Only a true narcissist could.

  &quot;Gauge theoretic economics&quot; oh he&apos;s applying the physics he doesn&apos;t understand to economics he doesn&apos;t understand.

  I&apos;m sick of academics who couldn&apos;t hack it in academia giving hard working academics a bad name.

  I would hate driving on the road next to Eric. It seems he&apos;s completely incapable of staying in his lane.

  &quot;economists don&apos;t understand all these terms that economists invented to describe the economy.&quot;

  We truly live in the era of grifters, I hope we get to the era of reasonable people really soon.

  “I think mechanics don’t understand engines, they don’t understand brakes, they don’t understand headlights, I don’t even think they understand how gasoline works in a car.”

  Eric goes on for twenty minutes, giving &quot;life advice&quot; for rich twits. &nbsp;Warren Zevon, dying of cancer, was asked for the same advice, and simply said, &quot;enjoy every sandwich.&quot;

  Eric&apos;s &quot;research&quot; in economics is just like his &quot;research&quot; in physics. Rather than actually doing any work, publishing it, and talking about the substance, it&apos;s just an emotion-laden soap opera story filled with delusions of grandeur and persecution about being in the room when the drama occurred and the room is always at Harvard, MIT, or Princeton. I love how he claims someone told him &quot;his&quot; equations would never work and then purportedly stole them. How on God&apos;s flat Earth does he not know if his own equations work? Those sneaky scientists! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣
