"In April 2021, Weinstein self-published a paper on Geometric Unity and appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience to discuss it. In the paper, Weinstein stated that he was "not a physicist" and that the paper was a "work of entertainment"."

It all seems very odd.

As entertainment goes, I would personally prefer a good movie or a concert to a jargon filled paper.

apparently that was for copyright reasons, as apparently Wheeler nicked some idea decades ago after pooh-poohing it broke

also, probably an attempt at levity/bit of clowning

(I really don't like Eric's politics, especially the essentialist sexism, aside from all the rest, but I'd like to see a good refutation to the Curt Jaimungal iceberg video - https://youtu.be/AThFAxF7Mgw - on the physics thing)

It's the classic frame of "Haha, I was only joking. Unless I wasn't and you want to take me seriously." Eric comes across as having a wounded ego that he protects at any cost.
