      @@ryanleemartin7758 I'm just the same. Can't look at people faces when comming up with heavy computed answers, and close my eyes when scanning my brain for logical relevant abstractions. I get distracted by something in the their facial features past a few seconds and lose line of though if I don't break eye contact when answering. It's the downside of an hyperaware brain, it's never quiet. People who don't pick up on Lex's insane authenticity truely must live a life of misery where information fly waay over their head. This was reason number 1 why I sub'd to him. He is 1000% no nonsense guy with 0 excuses. That the kind of people you want to listen to in this short life.

    I call them lightning in a bottle - I live for those days. They happen, at the least expected time where everything just crystallises. What prevents it is trying to hard to get it and allowing yourself to get sucked into the day to day clutter of other people and this disruptive self help world.

      It was a blog by Curtis Yarvin who was going by the pen name Mencius Moldbug at the time of writing. It re-examined and reframed the way power works in the united states and the western world/democracies in general. It argued that "democracy" doesn't work as is typically understood and can not work in the way usually explained instead the pretense of democracies existence allows the actual ruling elite/aristocracy to completely avoid accountability. Yarvin further argues that even monarchs where far more accountable than politicians by sheer virtue of the fact that everyone knew who to blame in a monarchy. To put it in other words a king in the middle ages had to worry about being killed a modern politician has to worry about which golden parachute to use.
      Yarvin further argues that the Founding Fathers original plans for the office of President were more similar to an elected monarchy that could be kept in check and that if the president truly had full control over the executive branch (capability to fire who he wants and rearrange or demolish departments like the FBI at will) it would be in line with the original vision of the country. Yarvins work and followers would later be dubbed "Neo-Reaction" or NRX. Yarvin also regularly engages in thought experiments in his work "What if the country was ran like a company with shareholders deciding the CEO" which cause some to attack his work as ludicrous eventhough he is clear in his writing that these are thought experiments.
      If you are interested in quick introductions/summaries of his work I recommend the channel Aaron MacIntyre or the video "A Gentle Introduction to Mencius Moldbug" by the Distributist.

      Controversy because racist people love his ideas, e.g. he also said bullshit like:
      "alluding to the idea that Hitler's invasions were acts of self-defense, assumedly triggered in response to the U.S. propaganda efforts in dehumanizing the Germans."

    The fact the Lex is looking out of the windows intimates a degree of disappointment with the level of response he is getting.
    He was hoping for something deeper from George bet he's not getting it. He makes more eye contact, the more he is engaged with his interviewee.
    Still, a good podcast though.
