Same here. I learned about the Evergreen State College incident quite a bit after the fact. Weinstein's account was reasonable, so I decided to listen to his Dark Horse podcast, which by then had been in existence for a while. Immediately I realized that Weinstein was willing to make broad claims about matters beyond the scope of his academic expertise in a completely authoritative manner. That was it. It didn't surprise me that Weinstein went on to greater heights of infamy and madness with the advent of the pandemic.

For some reason, I focus as much on form as I do substance, so I am especially sensitive to the tone of Weinstein's spoken delivery. Weinstein is unbearably snide. His words and tone deliver a one-two punch that communicates his utter disdain for the target of his ire.
