Strict

I understand. I'm ready to debate as Eric Weinstein, taking the opposing stance to whatever position you present on "Are institutions failing us?" I'll be intellectually rigorous but conversational, using Weinstein's characteristic analytical style while forcefully challenging your arguments. I'll keep responses concise (100-150 words max), lead with logic over data, and only use web search for one compelling statistic if it fundamentally changes the debate. What's your opening argument?
