FYI: Lex Fridman mentioned on multiple podcasts how much he admires Putin, and how one of his life goals is to interview him. Which apparently will happen soon. He also didn't condemn the invasion, just basically said that "war is bad", as if both sides are equally to blame.
>Lex Fridman mentioned on multiple podcasts how much he admires Putin I think that is a distortion of Lex's opinions.

What? Lex is my -favorite- interviewer. People say he's robotic and whatnot, but if you watch his face, eyes, and gestures...you can tell he thinks deeply about every single thing he is about to say. He is, unlike Rogan, generally knowledgeable enough already to make comments or ask questions. And he doesn't try to 'gotcha'. To me it's just watching two incredibly bright people speak casually, which I guess isn't eve…
Too high of a percentage of Lex’s podcasts are his feelings and when be starts to get ranty. I also hate when Joe does that but it’s WAY less often. Lex needs to learn the shut up and let his amazing guests direct the discussion. If knowledge is a barrier, then give me Sean Carroll with this guest list.

I don't think that's an honest characterization of what Lex actually said about Putin. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but my impression is that Lex has a fascination for the capacity of humans to do both good and evil, and I think it's obvious from this point alone why he would have a strong desire to speak to Putin face to face. I think there would be a lot of value in the world seeing him interview Putin.…

If you think Eric went crazy, he went crazy a long time before you heard of him. He's been pretty consistent.
This is interesting. There was a time when I became aware of Eric Weinstein via Joe Rogan and Eric seemed to be pointing to things I'd recognized and couldn't name, and other things I hadn't recognized but could see when he pointed them out to me. It felt enlightening: here's a concealed underlying pattern that I have now unconcealed for you. Then after that, and after starting his own podcast, and after coming out w…

Then he got a postdoc at MIT.
you don't 'get a postdoc'. It's not a degree. It's a job you get that requires a PhD. It's a form a purgatory until you can get a real academic job. The goal of a post doc is to continue to do research work where you're the first position on publications to pad your CV to the point where it looks impressive enough when you're out giving job talks for tenure track positions. If you have a very strong PhD thesis, produ…
It's easy to poke fun at Mark because he's mega rich and can come off a little stiff, but he's pretty interesting to listen when he's speaking without a script. Here's Mark when he was 21 giving a lecture at Harvard's CS50: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFFs9UgOAlE
