Even though I've enjoyed a lot of the Lex interviews in the past, I think this is really exploitative. A man with bipolar disorder is having a major manic episode and everybody is shoving microphones in front of him and getting upset when what he says sounds crazy.

I agree. There is something gross about gleefully watching a person self-destruct. Reminds me a lot of what was done to Brittany Spears.

I assume it drives engagement.

I was blocked beforehand without ever subscribing Lex. Also any comment of Youtube disappears immediately. Reason was somebody retweeted my tweet of about the Finnish volunteer Panzer-group liberating Ukraine 1943. In spite of jovial appearance, Lex is quite humorless person. He sticking to the world-view he learned in Soviet schools, without ability to learn anything new about history.

>jovial appearance

?? I had to watch approximately five minutes to get a very uncanny feeling and haven't watched anything since.

If somebody else wants to get blocked by Lex Fridman just ask about his research on MIT regarding Tesla Autopilot, which got later retracted by MIT.

100% agree. Totally irresponsible move to interview Kanye West. It's borderline parasitic. There's no intellectual value in pretending someone's psychotic delusions are valid discourse. Lex should take the interview down.

He reminds me of Sean Carroll if Sean didn't care about other people or philosophy or research
