        Lol of course this was some mathematics/physics in-joke. My fight-or-flight instincts were engaged during the brief period when I thought Eric Weinstein was tweeting NFL references. Rocked me to my core. Especially the possibility of his being an *shudders* Eagles fan.

        It's interesting you mention that because it's totally unintentional - but you're by no means the first to say that. The influence seems to have happened subconsciously or something.

        Witten's IAS lectures do tend to assume a certain baseline of knowledge.
