“Trust But Verify, Then Verify Again. Your Soul Depends Upon It.”

 I, like many millions of people, am trying to make sense of the current global shift, desperately trying to find answers or explanations. You might be one of these very people? Our disbelief and shock motivate us to seek the truth, to equalize discord, and validate harmony. We turn to “experts” to find common ground to balance the ledgers in the “Book of Life”.

We get answers pacifying to quiet the masses. We’re in the greatest race, the information age, exposed to vast amounts of data. Information that could fill innumerable libraries; the answers are there if you know where to look? In our emerging Digital Age, the information has exponentially exploded and thus become easier to find with a stroke of a computer key.

When you seek the truth, how do you know data is empirical, legitimate, and ethical? What if the person providing the answers doesn’t compute with everything you were taught? Why is it, that we often times willfully walk into the dark abyss…vulnerable souls primed for the taking?

Many of us feel that we aren’t smart enough, our viewpoints are outdated, and we have nothing in common with the current social virtual paradigm. We defer to the most recognized intelligent source; and that is when you can be the most vulnerable! We place too much faith and trust in our social and world influencers and not enough in God.   

Your soul has never been more at risk, more easily led astray, or at peril in being eternally damned, then in the digital age. I was watching a favorite podcast of mine; The Diary Of A CEO.

This interview aired on July 14, 2025. It has many examples of “right versus wrong”, and passages that leave you thinking “Wait, that doesn’t seem right”?  Eric R. Weinstein, managing director of Thiel Capital, mathematical fellow at Oxford University, and recognized Economist (Wikipedia 2025) gives his two cents worth on the current state of our world.

Our society has seemingly made Eric Weinstein a paragon in our Digital Age. It’s easy to see just how people trust and believe what Weinstein says as a truth by the way he frames his narrative. But beware of the wolf in sheep clothing; their cunning and deceit will mislead you down the wrong path every time.

Looking at several passages lifted from the transcripts of this podcast, you’ll see how you could become caught in the snare, capturing your very soul, sending it to eternal darkness. Let’s take a closer look at how Weinstein misleads you through truths into doubt.

Marker 16:12 Weinstein asks Steven Bartlett, “Do you pray”? Bartlett is hesitant to respond; “I pray but not like in the way they do in the movies and stuff” (Bartlett, 16:12). The host seems at odds with reality and misinformed about the act of prayer. Bartlett, whether playing dumb to illicit dialogue or just plain uninformed, responds in a way that confirms he’s bought into the Hollywood simulation. Weinstein can smell the vulnerability like blood in the water. The stage is set.     

Marker 16:21 – 16:34    Weinstein says: ‘’… But a lot of time when you’re praying you don’t really believe. You’re not sure that you’re doing anything sensible”. (Bartlett, 16:21-16:34) Bartlett seems in shock and disbelief to Weinstein’s flippant responses painting “us” as idiots who can’t even pray correctly. Weinstein makes assumptions about the host and the public at large that we are drones that follow anyone to fit in.

Marker 16:46 Barlett asks: “Are you an atheist”?  (Bartlett,16:46)  

Marker 16:51 Weinstein: “Yeah. But I take religion super seriously. I don’t think we’re meant to live without it”. (Bartlett, 16:51)

This is the first red flag, clearly Weinstein is using to entwine doubt and confusion to mislead you. You unconsciously get a false sense of approval and affirmant with your values while processing his statement. See even though he’s an atheist, he believes we need religion; he’s not that bad?   

The two statements cancel each other out. A moot point; it means nothing! If Weinstein was true and ethical he would be clear about his stand on God and religion.

Marker 21:16-21:22 Weinstein says “…constantly. Physics is the only thing that’s going to get to your future.  (Bartlett, 21:16-21:22) What is he even saying?  We won’t make it to the future but physics will?  Physics is the study of matter and energy. Aren’t we made of matter, and don’t we emit energy?

He paints a grim picture that we will be extinct, leaving an ethereal virtual cosmos of single living organisms? Who will be left on this earth to carry on the human race?      

Weinstein shifts from an Armageddon landscape to false hope; hope only if we do these particular things to get us out of the chaos, we are presumably in.

Marker 22:45 “This is our womb. This is not our home”. Weinstein states. (Bartlett, 22:45)   What!? He thinks we need to look for other atmospheres to exist in. This is treading in dangerous territory saying that our earth is a life-giving force that has deity status?  He ascribes to the theory that we are so powerful we destroyed God’s creation. A fatalistic theory to sow fear.

 The earth is 4.6 billion years old (Schultz,2014); and man has been on earth for 300,000 years. (Smithsonian.edu) Let me put this into a percentage to help you better understand if we really affect the earth or not? I’m going to take only the past 3,000 years out of the 300,000,00 years man has been on this earth. This being the only time we really created matter or energy that might affect the planet. Divide 3000 by 4.6 billion x by 100 this then equals 0.0000000652173913%.

On the timeline this doesn’t equal ½ percent? Do you still believe we have this ability to destroy the earth just by existing on it?  

Marker 23:27 – 24:04   Basically Bartlett asks why we can’t stay and fix the problem? Weinstein offers no solutions saying it’s the end; it’s over. (Bartlett, 23:27-24:04)

Marker 24:13 – 24:18   Weinstein states the old WWII Order were the rods that kept us from going super critical. They are destroyed and we have no hope. (Bartlett, 24:13-24:18) So he is saying that Dulles, Patton, and the WWII bastions of the deep state; same folks that gave us Operation Monarch, Operation Paperclip, and MK Ultra, was the linchpin that kept our world from slipping into the dark ages?  

Weinstein also throws Elon Musk under the bus by bringing up his alleged drug use while being interim director of Doge at the White House

Marker 37:22- 37:34 “Look at how much trouble Elon has being Elon. Look, we keep hearing about him. You know, he’s on drugs. Great. take drugs. No, I’m not kidding. Do you know how many amazing people take drugs”? (Bartlett, 37:22-37:34) Here he is saying a lot of amazing people, smart people, and wealthy people do drugs? You should try them too; what does the world have to lose? How is this going to save the planet?

The final two examples of false hope are the most serious and evil.

Marker 104:33 – 104:48    1) “You can pray like one of us. We’re not sure if we’re praying. We’re not sure if the thing is hooked up and anyone’s listening”? 2) “You have the right to go back even with doubt, even with knowledge. And you have the right to believe about a tomorrow”. (Bartlett, 104:33-104:48)

Let that sink in for a bit? I feel he basically tells us to become a fraud. No one cares how you pray, only that you pray. We don’t have examples of how the sacred ritual should be performed, so just do whatever you feel is appropriate? The second statement: you have a right to go back? back where? for what purpose? Believe about tomorrow? What does that even mean?

How often are you careless with your soul; putting yourself in grave danger and “know you’ll be safe”? Do you put too much faith in other people, institutions, and concepts and not enough in God?

Why?

Often the person we instill faith in is not a ‘quote-unquote’ expert in that field.  Margaret Sanger as the expert on the family and child rearing? Bill Gates as the expert on vaccines and life sustaining panaceas for the global sector? Somehow the world keeps telling you that this person is an expert and should be taken seriously. So much so, you blindly agree not to challenge anything that is said because they must be right? You hear them everywhere, on every radio station, podcast, and TV affiliates.   

The Weinstein interview is a prime example of an “expert” giving you bad advice. You’re going to take advice from a physicist (one who uses absolute, tangible, empirical data to solve problems) on how to fix the world’s dilemmas through spirituality and ethics (one who uses ideology, morality and postulates to solve problems)?

Why?

 The statements are believable enough to persuade you because the answers have kernels of truth that you can identify with and relate to. But if you look at the solution as a totality, no solution is offered as it can’t be sustained.

You are armed with the most powerful tool God could ever give you; free will. This makes it possible to make good decisions over bad, decipher chaos to make correct assumptions and truths, as well as the power to defeat evil. Use the power wisely by ‘Trust and verify, and then verify again’
