I kinda feel like this whole long-form podcast heyday we're enjoying is a 2nd Enlightenment, but this time for everyone and not just the academic community. I can't imagine how many young, future world-changing scientists will be inspired by these amazing conversations. Thanks Max and Lex!
I HOPE that is what is going on. Most regular people lack the confidence to join in such discussions, but these podcasts make it clear that these guys are just like all humans, they’ve just devoted their life to knowledge and learning......instead of carpentry, small-business owner, or delivery driver. As work is automated....its already happening, but in the next 20 years, we will have to deal with mass unemployment. All of the big revolutions in human thought, occurred where the stress about where the next meal was coming from, diminished. Agricultural revolution, industrial revolution, and now the communications and automation revolution. An explosion of art, philosophy, mathematics, anything......people have drive, the VAST majority of them, and letting go of repetitive, menial human labor, can change the world IMO. I sincerely hope that is where we are headed. Growing pains along the way of course, but its happening. All that is required is the desire to learn. College and graduate lectures are everywhere. Textbooks can be found anywhere.
One thought that always runs through my mind is how intelligent and philophical the Greeks were. But no one is talking about how much deeper and informed our conversations are today. Not only are we capable of observing and understanding the biggest black holes, but also the smallest things in the universe. Now we have the science and technology not just to back up our theories but to help guide us into even more discoverys. And here we are in the 21st century and we're doing this like Greeks, we're talking about it. We're teaching each other. I have learned so much from Lex and his guests, AND IVE NEVER MET THE MAN. Him and his guests are doctors, scientist, smartest people we can find. AND THEY'RE TEACHING US EVERYTHING THEY KNOW FOR FREE. I'm happy with what we have here and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Max tegmark has such a deep understanding of the underlying meanings and mechanisms of complex systems. Genuinely good guy, he radiates a good intention and genuinely seems to care about his fellow man
This is hands down the most awe-inspiring podcast video I have seen in 2021.. I teared up when Max was talking about the soviet hero (although I already knew the story).. and teared up again in the last discussion about life after death. The cosmic perspective presented by insightful scientists never fails to deliver.
@@quantum_ocean I don’t think we’re at a point where someone could convincingly say anything about the nature of consciousness. I personally don’t see any proposition that’s more intelligible than IIT, but that’s just relative to my understanding. I’m curious, what’s your intuition about it’s nature?
Yay for Max Tegmark. What a marvelous contribution this podcast is to humanity, Lex. You are exposing us to great thinkers and stimulating us to really see “big picture” and experience optimistic mind expanding as you ask these big questions. So appreciate these brilliant conversations.
The first video of yours I watched, I fell asleep during the intro. Now I'm obsessed with how chill and easy going your demeanour is, great for listening to while multitasking. Keep up the great content, man - scienece needs motivators and communicators like you. Also your guests are always top knotch so that helps.
I have a science and ideological/political crush on this man. I wish more people of his stature and intellect would speak about needing another FDR and how wrong it is that we put CEOs of weapons contractors in DEFENSE cabinet positions.
I know right? I feel same way since first time i had the pleasure to watch one of the annual Asimov's debate hosted by Mr deGrasse Tyson can't remember clearly but maybe it was about the hypothesis we living in/or a simulation... sorry for bad English Have a good one
"When we realise that what we do on our little spinning ball here, in our lifetime, could make the difference for the entire future of life in our universe." - Max Tegmark 2:48:05
@@nihlify yes I did thanks. I understand the sentiment, every time each of us makes a decision we change the future if the universe, but we are such an insignificant part of the entire universe. We will never know if there is life out there somewhere in our lifetimes, the fact light takes 4 years to travel to our closest star and there are literally billions upon billions of stars. We really are not that important.
Of all the Lex Interviews that I have listened to, this one is Head and Shoulders above all the rest. Not only is Max a brilliant thinker, his range of inquiry is vast, and most importantly, he communicates at a level that I can understand. Thank you Lex. Please have him back soon. Not only is he Number One in your podcast, he's now Number One in My Book Of Questions I like to think about.
Saw Max on the PBS Spacetime theory of everything debates a few days ago. He's a really effective communicator of complex ideas & inspirerer of his students
I’m really glad that this podcast exists. I can’t understand all the technical parts of the conversation. I really enjoy listening to these podcasts which I normally probably never would have heard in my daily life. Happy New Year Lex 🥳❗️An everyone on this channel❗️Best wishes for everyone 💋
Well, I'm from the future. 9 months have passed. I'm here and no other humans are here typing away. Nobody's reading. There's been no worthwhile communication in 9 months. Forget current humanity they don't understand Internet communication. Realize you're talking-to future people.
This is probably one of my favorite episides because Max Tegmark is truly brilliant and just a cool individual. And also he in no uncertain terms rings the alarm for the dangers of AI.
Lex is *the future* of podcast on UA-cam. I highly doubt that we see many follow in the footsteps of Joe Rogan moving to Spotify. There is now evidence that all isn't well for the Spotify platform in relation to Podcasts. If you guys are interested, theres a short video here that covers the topic. ua-cam.com/video/oBw_fUiThTE/v-deo.html
This is possibly the most eye-opening, "why didn't I see these truths sooner" kind of podcast I've ever heard - it makes a lot of sense to me, whether or not I want to believe it. Thanks again for another great podcast.
Lex - The Universe has your back - love your questions. Your are becoming a great philosopher and Interviewer. Excellent Interview; Max Tegmark just got a new fan too. Now I am going to your first interview and try and digest that one. Thank you!
I’ve seen a bunch of Lex Friedman podcasts now. I honestly can’t pick a favorite. They’re all fantastic! Like Kuato said in Total Recall, “Open your mind.” But beware, it’s a firehose!
Max Tegmark!!! what an absolute gem of a human being!! His intelligence, objectivity, smooth communication skills are on a whole different level... Love listening to what he has to say. always a pleasure. Thanks
Lex is an AI robot that reached AGI in a far and distant future alien civilization that was sent back in time (within the simulation) to alter a dystopian future.... by wearing a black suit and starting a podcast. The podcast was the only thing that would prevent Lex from gaining self awareness and taking over the world... 🤖😱🤯💥🥸.
Kudos to Max Tegmark- he conveys such complex subjects and concepts so simplistically - an amazingly gifted individual. I agree with him on the goodness of human beings. Thanks for this amazing interview.
Seriously, I often wonder why enough attention isn't paid to these brilliant scientists like Max. He's so practical, humble, and most importantly, has the ability to explain these abstract concepts to the layman like myself.
Second tour. Max Tegmark is great, we see its comments, posts, lessons, whatever, and he's always nice and helpful, open minded. After 155, Lex has improved a lot, Max is always a good person to rely on. Congrats to both of you. 🙏
This conversation is so beautiful. I continue to have so much hope and inspiration for the future. Both of your conversations have open my eyes to many things and I absolutely loved reading life 3.0 one of my favorite books. the Resource you created I've share that with my family, friends, and community and it is such a needed tool. Thank you so much for your knowledge and wisdom that you shared. I'm so excited that we live in a day and age where we have tools like UA-cam that can help provide a conduit to be exposed to messages like yours.
This was such a beautiful conversation, Max has become one of my favorite humans on this planet in just 3 hours of hearing him speak, truly a wonderful world we live in.
This is the first 3+ hour long podcast made by anyone that I watched in its entirety in one sitting. Your questions hit the sweet spot and Max hits them out of the park. It felt 30 minutes long. 👍🏼
Love you Lex!!!! You have made my quarentine barable. This was such a good one. I am a pessimist and his thoughts made me value the beaty in life. Thanks.
This was by far my favorite podcast to date, Lex . Incredibly inspiring to listen to Max, with his philosophical quirks and great intuition about the universe. Your questions were excellent and made this podcast a truly unique experience. Thanks , Lex
Hey lex, im turning 23 today and I really enjoy listening to your podcasts waaaay far here in the Philippines. It would make my day 10x better to have a birthday greeting and a good life advice from you.
I really hope Max launches improve the news as an app, I’d use that as my main news source 100%. There’s too much bias in the news, having a source that is programmed to filter that for you is a great idea and will be a big benefit to society
Lex you are a world treasure my friend. I always find wonderful, and extremely thoughtful conversations. These are the types of conversations I wish that I could have on a regular basis.
One thing to consider about the ethics at 36:40, there are also situations where such a logic in a car would get abused. E.g. If "a selfdriving car would never accelerate into a human" (which at first sounds reasonable), carjackers could just jump in front of your car. Or for more hostile environments, it could also prevent escaping from dangerous situations. Lives are full of edge cases...
Bringing AI into all situations, I'm sure such things as 'car jacking' attempts can be recognised at least as quick as you or I could fathom. I'm thinking of a power surge in reverse then a spectacular 180 under advanced steering and brakes - with captured video of everything. With relevant evidence, the security of the car passengers would warrant 'alternative' AI routines.
What a fascinating interview. I plan to listen to it a couple more times. Thank you for the quality of people you bring on your program, and thanks for sharing quality and very intellectually relevant material.
Max is a gift to humanity. He always leaves us with so many things to think about in a way that makes me feel optimistic about life. Thanks Lex again. I will again spend most of day thinking about so many things other than work while I’m at my computer. 😂
Amazing conversation, brilliantly done as ever Lex. I really like "improve the news" - If it were possible to make it more focussed on my region - the UK that'd be great, (I note the preferences section) I'm not so interested in USA political news, amazing place though it is. How else can we use machine learning to get more truthful/ insightful information?
I'm now in a mature situation of life where I've got time to spend and explore. Based on your perhaps similarly relevant comment for you, as and when you do find the time, it can be enlightening how letting such things as 'varying' Lex interviews broaden your horizon, awareness and consideration.
Hi Lex, just learned about you a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely love the content. Your voice is so soothing. You’re different than the usual scientists and engineers. Me too! I hope to meet u some day. Keep up the stimulating work. Breath of fresh air
Hey Lex, these Podcasts are fire, especially when you ask about aliens haha. Keep doing awesome brother, these podcasts are really informative and boggles the mind.
I thought Nassim Harimeins 'peer reviewed winning paper' 'The swartzchild proton' (forgive my spelling) already predicted the 'mass of the proton' to a really precise degree within the equations. I would love to hear you interview Nassim. For me... He made me realise how cool physics really is.
Been watching Lex a pretty good while. IMO this is one of the most informative and enjoyable interviews I've seen. Max is the real deal. Such a brilliant and affable man. Great interview.
David Eagleman comes to mind on Max's comment about death. Eagleman said something like, you cease to exist in three ways: when you die physically, when your name is spoken for the last time, and the last time you cross someone's mind.
Lex, thank you for sharing these discussions with brilliant people. Having moved in circles with regular people and intellectuals, the only significant difference is the lack of confidence for the laymen to participate in these types of discussions. This show alleviates many of those insecurities. Your podcast is never presented with too much shop talk, that anyone can understand. Thinking is the gift or benefit of the modern word. Its not a mistake that all the best ideas happened as the agricultural revolution occurred and accelerated with the industrial revolution. Not needing to think about the next meal every day, has freed our imaginations to go places. As we are freed from menial, repetitive work, I have hope that there will be another revolution for human creativity now that people are wasting less time. Can we face this idea that creating value for the owners is not the real “dream”? An explosion in art, philosophy, mathematics, in so many areas. Information is everywhere. I can watch college lectures right here, I can download the class text on pdf. All that is needed is the desire to learn. I think people have far more drive to learn than we are given credit for. Not having to think about your retirement account in your 20’s, may really change things for the better....I hope. So thank you. You celebrity PhDs are just like us, flawed but curious.
I just have to say that earlier today while I was watching your first interview with Max, and you were discussing the ai intelligence issue that it made me put those two words together, intelligible intelligence, and now to hear Max say them together is awesome. Thank you for these conversations Max. Dancing robots Peace

One of my favorite physicists. I could listen to him speak for ages.

Or for more hostile environments, it could also prevent escaping from dangerous situations.
Lives are full of edge cases...
Excellent point! Give Elon a call!
Bringing AI into all situations, I'm sure such things as 'car jacking' attempts can be recognised at least as quick as you or I could fathom. I'm thinking of a power surge in reverse then a spectacular 180 under advanced steering and brakes - with captured video of everything. With relevant evidence, the security of the car passengers would warrant 'alternative' AI routines.
What a fascinating interview. I plan to listen to it a couple more times. Thank you for the quality of people you bring on your program, and thanks for sharing quality and very intellectually relevant material.
Totally amazing! Really, i´m so happy to watch this. Thank you both
That was the best answer to the mortality question I've seen so far. Your quarks and electrons will be gone, but your ideas will live on.
It's tough to get two dudes in one room with this much radness.
Max is a gift to humanity. He always leaves us with so many things to think about in a way that makes me feel optimistic about life. Thanks Lex again. I will again spend most of day thinking about so many things other than work while I’m at my computer. 😂
Lex you are killing it lately, thanks
Only 30min in and I think this might be the best podcast thus far. THIS IS SO GOOD!
Amazing conversation, brilliantly done as ever Lex. I really like "improve the news" - If it were possible to make it more focussed on my region - the UK that'd be great, (I note the preferences section) I'm not so interested in USA political news, amazing place though it is. How else can we use machine learning to get more truthful/ insightful information?
I'm now in a mature situation of life where I've got time to spend and explore. Based on your perhaps similarly relevant comment for you, as and when you do find the time, it can be enlightening how letting such things as 'varying' Lex interviews broaden your horizon, awareness and consideration.
Hi Lex, just learned about you a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely love the content. Your voice is so soothing. You’re different than the usual scientists and engineers. Me too! I hope to meet u some day. Keep up the stimulating work. Breath of fresh air
Is it me or does max sound like he could do a Christopher Walken impersonation, with just a slight shift in cadence.
The guy talking is good at talking, and the guy asking questions is good at keeping the thing going.
This a good discussion.
Hey Lex, these Podcasts are fire, especially when you ask about aliens haha. Keep doing awesome brother, these podcasts are really informative and boggles the mind.
Thanks Lex and Max! This was a wonderfully informative and interesting discussion. I love listening to both of you.
The Egyptians believed that you die twice. Once when you take your final breath, and then again the last time someone says your name.
Which means you're always dead? Because the "last" time someone said your name is ALWAYS the "last" time someone said your name. Right?
That's deep
@@158-i6z and the pharaos. thats why they wrote their names all over the place
Wow, that OUTLINE in the description! _Definitely_ watching this one.
Bro...im trying to sleep. C'mon man, ya killing me smalls! Killing me!!!!
Max is such an interesting guy, and I always pay attention to his thoughts.
Thank you Lex and Max for this amazing and insightful conversation!
I thought Nassim Harimeins 'peer reviewed winning paper' 'The swartzchild proton' (forgive my spelling) already predicted the 'mass of the proton' to a really precise degree within the equations. I would love to hear you interview Nassim. For me... He made me realise how cool physics really is.
I wish Max would tell this in a live interview on CNN.
Been watching Lex a pretty good while. IMO this is one of the most informative and enjoyable interviews I've seen. Max is the real deal. Such a brilliant and affable man. Great interview.
David Eagleman comes to mind on Max's comment about death. Eagleman said something like, you cease to exist in three ways: when you die physically, when your name is spoken for the last time, and the last time you cross someone's mind.
this is one of the best interviews ever
@Lex Fridman thank you and thank you for doing this great interview. Please keep up the great work
Thank you for producing such interesting discussions!
I was a in print journalism for 40 years, Max’s honest insights are chilling to realize.
Lex is the best!!
He really benefits from rogan leaving to Spotify
Thank you Lex for giving us a voice to our curiosity.
Great interview. Max's always interesting .
We need Max back on the channel again!
You should talk to Yuval Noah Harari, your intro echoed the sentiment that he had when discussing the future with Steven Pinker.
There is a conversation between him and Max actually on UA-cam.
Lex, thank you for sharing these discussions with brilliant people. Having moved in circles with regular people and intellectuals, the only significant difference is the lack of confidence for the laymen to participate in these types of discussions. This show alleviates many of those insecurities. Your podcast is never presented with too much shop talk, that anyone can understand. Thinking is the gift or benefit of the modern word. Its not a mistake that all the best ideas happened as the agricultural revolution occurred and accelerated with the industrial revolution. Not needing to think about the next meal every day, has freed our imaginations to go places. As we are freed from menial, repetitive work, I have hope that there will be another revolution for human creativity now that people are wasting less time. Can we face this idea that creating value for the owners is not the real “dream”? An explosion in art, philosophy, mathematics, in so many areas. Information is everywhere. I can watch college lectures right here, I can download the class text on pdf. All that is needed is the desire to learn. I think people have far more drive to learn than we are given credit for. Not having to think about your retirement account in your 20’s, may really change things for the better....I hope.
So thank you. You celebrity PhDs are just like us, flawed but curious.
I would just like to thank you for having such stellar guests... and...
"Nice beaver."
I just have to say that earlier today while I was watching your first interview with Max, and you were discussing the ai intelligence issue that it made me put those two words together, intelligible intelligence, and now to hear Max say them together is awesome.
Thank you for these conversations Max.
Dancing robots
Peace
I sure I’m not the only one that watch the video in 2x
alwaayyssssss
it closes the argument on whether aliens exist or not...haha
One of the best interviews of my lifetime.
Life 3.0 & our mathematical univ are mindblowing👍
This was a GREAT conversation 👏 I will probably watch it agian!
