Episode Synopsis

Send us a textAs a book review I give "Operation Paperclip" 5/5 stars! I'm not typically a big fan of popular paperback books (non textbooks).The dilemma in the books shows a brief insight into some of the horrible killings and crimes as well as the potential or perceived need for the science to end WWII with Japan as well as fend of Russia (cold war). Determining who was of value was challenging and many of the crimes were swept under the rug. As someone who practices science it is understandable that we need break throughs especially when war is involved. However on the other hand the true Nazis needed to be held accountable.Science funding fell off in the US and it seems to be negatively impacting progress in both the public and private sectors.I meant Eric Weinstein not Bret Weinstein however they both have a similar stance. Eric states more of the details of the lack of funding historically.My Life as a Quant:https://amzn.to/3Kn3h9R (my affiliate link)Eric Weinstein:https://open.spotify.com/episode/7MDxyrrhD7gC7XMRwB0ulvBret Weinstein:https://youtu.be/pRCzZp1J0v0Website:https://www.FancyQuantNation.comSupport:https://ko-fi.com/fancyquantQuant t-shirts, mugs, and hoodies:https://www.teespring.com/stores/fancy-quantConnect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimitri-biancohttps://twitter.com/DimitriBiancoSupport the show
