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
So if I take the time to watch this am I in for a two hours of generic feel-good "avoid the subject-matter" non-answers?

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.

I'm also curious how Lex managed the get the calibre of guests he did right off the bat. I understand he was some kind of MIT whizkid, but I don't know much about him beyond that.
