[Loki]

Tried to sit through some of his podcasts, and it's a perfect example of why "intelligent" doesn't equal "engaging." Not only is he super boring, but his questions/pushback/insights aren't very good, and there is literally zero structure to the entire affair. You can tell he doesn't even bullet point the topics he wants to hit with his guests. Sam Harris' podcast is like a masterclass in organization and fruitful back-and-forth by comparison. Fridman is dryer than Rosie O'Donnell's nether regions.

brutal

Don't get me wrong - I've still listened to several of his podcasts, but it's for what his guests have to say, not him. As a podcast host, he's brutal imo.

 

[Tesseract]

well regardless, i'll keep posting episodes to this thread w / thoughts along the way

there's plenty to discuss and the stamps should help users hyperlink info

keep up the hard work, lex

 

[Loki]

I do love the topics and guests, I just wish he had a better personality and/or communication skills to go along with his obvious intellect. When you hear how he expresses his thoughts and insights as compared to how clearly and engagingly folks like Stephen Wolfram or Brian Greene do, the difference is stark.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

I love Lex and his podcast.
You always feel his interest for the subjects being discussed and him being humble and not wanting to steal the attention away from his guests.

Like Tess, said, to each their own.

 

[Ballthyrm]

I hope he gets some game developper some time. Someone really smart like Sid meier or Will Wright.

 

[EviLore]

I enjoy his podcast. His approach and worldview are different, and that has value. He comes off as a very genuine person.

I disagree. I enjoy his questions and the guests he brings on. Reminded me I need to read Ayn Rand.

 

[Tesseract]

episode 139 fun, especially re: working and deep memory, prefrontal control of reflexive circuity, loops

this youtube comment made me laugh -->

Aditya M4 hours ago
'Lex is the kind of guy who massively fears death because then he will not be able to suffer anymore'

 

[eot]

The only thing I've seen of him is this clip:



and his style didn't really click we me. He's super low energy and almost comes across as a little disinterested, even though I doubt he is since why the hell would he run a podcast like this if he were. He does seem to have interesting guests though.

 

[gunslikewhoa]

I've watched all of Lex' stuff. How can you ever stop after seeing things like this...

 

[King of Foxes]

I have to really like the guest to be able to get through these podcasts, the Dan Carlin one is the only i watched start to finish.

His delivery and the way of question asking actually distract me from listening to the talking

 

[finowns]

Ya, sometimes he is a bit dramatic in his pauses and gestures, closing his eyes for example, he could cut some of that stuff out.

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

I watch him on the regular, but I skip many eps.

He's certainly trying to learn all he can, which I can only praise.
He's a bit bluepill and green behind the ears but he's still young.

Was amazed he had never heard the term 'syntactic sugar' for example. Oh well.

 

[Breakage]

I've listened to a few of his podcast episodes recently.
My thoughts so far:
He sounds as if he is half asleep.
He seems to bring up Elon Musk a lot.
He talks about “love” in a way that makes him sound like a naive utopian.
The black suit and tie uniform he wears makes him look unfriendly.

 

[niilokin]

The black suit and tie uniform he wears makes him look unfriendly.

I kinda dig that look, he looks kinda old timey and also reminds me of the the alien from remake of "the day the earth stood still".

 

[Breakage]

I kinda dig that look, he looks kinda old timey and also reminds me of the the alien from remake of "the day the earth stood still".

I dunno he looks like a contract killer or a funeral director. It makes him look too serious and a bit weird. He buttons up his collar and wears a tie. It's just overkill for a podcast host.

1:13:03 - Economics of innovation

Tax more the things that are bad for us, and tax less the things that are good for us. Simple.

It's unfortunate how unnecessarily complicated and ideological the USA's tax system has bloated over the years. A restructuring/reimagining/reanalysis of some of our systems based on a simplified first principles approach is long overdue.

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

Lex has the personality of a cardboard box. But I have to give props to Tesseract for time stamping his content, I think it might make me actually watch some of these interviewees.

 

[Tesseract]

yeah, lex would be wise to drop the hitman thing and get a girlfriend

 

[Rien]

I like him. Intelligent guy, well spoken and calm to listen to. Guess I am more of a fan of slow and dry conversations.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

I kinda dig that look, he looks kinda old timey and also reminds me of the the alien from remake of "the day the earth stood still".

I am into suits myself, but you simply don't wear a black one if you are not going to a funeral.
I like Lex a lot more if he just wears casual stuff.

 

[Tesseract]

btw the bryn cast is worth listening for the exponential function talk

if yer a noob -->

 

[Pumpkin Seeds]

I love that Lex watches about every Malice stream and superchats binary code to Michael.

And for such a social knave, Lex's interviews are captivating to me.

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

Lex seeming to be from the Neutral Planet is great cause he's a smart fella and so his guests get to shine.

He just seriously needs to get laid it seems.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

He just seriously needs to get laid it seems.

How do you get that from his interviews?

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

How do you get that from his interviews?

He seems rather bluepilled. He lacks that 'I just got my dick wet' vibe lol.

I have watched parts of this again and again..
Fascinating stuff, really.

I kind of like the idea that the brain is constructing some kind of reality that has nothing to do with what reality looks like.
I have wandered of with my thoughts on this topic as well over the years, and it's like the most wonderful and horrifying thought there is. Kind of lovecraftian almost.

 

[Tschumi]

Good stuff man, ty. Definitely gonna listen to this stuff on long bike rides through the mountains~

 

[Ballthyrm]

Tax more the things that are bad for us, and tax less the things that are good for us. Simple.

People have different definition on what's good or bad, so, not so simple.

You would think that nature would have the last say, but when the feedback loop is very long like climate change ...
You will find plenty of people that support shitty fossil fuel like coal or tar sands because they don't pay any of the externalities.

 

[Kazza]

What a nice surprise! It's good to see Lex let his hair down every now and again (such as it is):

I could've sworn I heard Lex say a month or two ago that he had another interview with Elon coming up, but then never heard a word about it again.

I gotta go through his back catalog, he's had so many good guests I've missed.

I could've sworn I heard Lex say a month or two ago that he had another interview with Elon coming up, but then never heard a word about it again.

They made us forget about the interview through the Neuralink we got implanted by Elon and forgot about as well.
