I cried listening to his story about his relationship with his father because it's very similar to mine. If you're going through the same struggle stay strong you are valuable.
Yeah the memories sometimes just overwhelm me when looking back at my father's life, so many memories I've literally forgotten from "dissociative amnesia", b/c having remembered them every second of my existence would've destroyed me mentally. Still having said that, I'm proud to say I was able to help him as much as possible towards his older days by practicing forgiveness as Chamath stated. Still struggle with bouts of deep depression but just here to add if anyone is going thru harsh times, just do your very best as there definitely will come time when hardships end, and you can be older and much better person than the examples set before you. God bless!
When in the history of mankind have we ever had the in-depth thoughts of leading figures in all types of industries and people of notable accomplishments at our perusal, at will all collected and organized at a push of a button? It would not be possible without such a personality as Lex and his intelligent probe into these minds. Thanks Lex!
Smart as he is (Chamath), it's very shitty what he did with those SPACs... I guess he came to the conclusion that most people are idiots and will remain so, thus better to take their money first before others get a chance - hope he does something good with it instead of buying yachts and jets
Man. I remember desperately searching for a and anticipating Chamath's appearances on the news and tech pieces in 2008. Especially the rare few pieces of inside information you may get to see from inside Facebook. Now we live in a world where we can get this mans insights once a week, every week. And we can get direct access to intimate conversations with him on Lex's show. Lex, thanks for doing such a great job.
I think I just went through 5 years of therapy after this interview. I grew up in chaos and have lived with self sabotaging habits my whole life. I still don’t understand it but Chamath is striking anchored. Thank you Lex for this interview, god bless
Such a beautiful conversation. It feels like a gift to able to listen in on these conversations with two people who bring so much compassion and intellect to the table. You're doing a great service Lex, especially to all us younger listeners.
I don’t know I didn’t like this interview because it’s almost arrogant or patronizing how enlightened he tries to act. He’s just a passive rich guy who made money on a thing that never helped society. I’m sure there’s difference of opinion but too many ride the dick of clowns already.
Listening to Chamath honestly and bravely described growing up poor as a young kid and being severely punished physically by his dad which I can relate to myself, is so sobering and using that experience to motivate and inspire him to succeed in his adult life. I now have more respect for him even though I already have tremendous admiration for him before this. Thanks and we need more inspirational interviews and video from successful people like Chamath Palihapitiya.
I don't understand how you could possibly consider this podcast a failure, and you're certainly not obligated to do anything other than what you want to do, but I have to say this is the best podcast I've ever heard, and I really hope you don't give up on it. It means so much to so many people. There's nowhere else to go to hear long form conversations with some of the smartest, most talented people, leaders of their respective fields. This podcast is one of the only things I have left to look forward to in my life. I hope you don't abandon it completely.
The chemistry in this podcast exceeds most content I have watched...period. It's art to converse at this level with zero talking over each other. Perfect listening. Perfect curiosity. A great example of how universities should promote each class.
There is a book called "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents." This book helped me immensely
cmon bro! life is ugly and beautiful simultaneously, if u focus on others, u will diminish, and they will become larger than ur life, and ur life will be filled. luv u bro, healing is a recipe, just follow the path that leads to it my man.
when Lex asked the question: "It makes me wonder that you and I are broken but not see it, we hurt others but not see it" ...that made me feel so many emotions for them both. its heartbreaking to see two good people think that about themselves due to the sort of home they grew up in!😪
Yes. And they have company, and leftist woke ideology misses the point and the task of life. You have no idea of what people in any life have gone through.
4:22 when I was 21 I helped a friend of mine in cleaning his fridge, as a thank he hugged me and said thank you so much and smiled at me, I cried for 20-25 mins & for a week I was soooo emotional be because I never felt loved in my house, I can relate to you Chamath ❤
Beautiful interview. I cannot imagine how many high achieving individuals resonated with Chamath. I teared up when he talked about the chain of events - the endless chase of achievement and external validation - that led to his final forgiving of his father/family. It mustve been difficult but so freeing. I hope someday I will be able to do the same with my family. Thank you, Lex, for having this conversation.
This was one of my favourite episodes. To see how someone can overcome extreme struggles and still be so successful and being so humble. You leave this session feeling enlightenment.
Lol is this your burner Chamath. This man is a self obsessed billionaire not humble lmao. He says he cares about Human rights but doesn’t care about Uighyur abuse in china. He leads retail investors with BS investments, manages to escape while he mentions he is a long term investor. Compares himself to Buffett as the next greatest investor lmao…humble.
I gotta say the only time I ever disliked a guest was when Destiny came on. But he's got such an amazing guest list otherwise, filled with individuals that care about their work from the latest Noam Chomsky, to Hikaru, to his current guest. His ability to promote discussion in a respectful setting is extremely unique and necessary in this world.
I love listening to chamath, he is so calm and collected wherever he speaks. He is never the loudest person in the room but his words carry the most weight.
Not giving into the self doubt - so key. I grew up near Bay/Bloor in Toronto, moved to Ottawa, now live in New York. Everything Chamath said really resonated with me. Love this
The best podcast all year. The more I learn about Chamath and his story the more empowered I feel about accomplishing my own dreams and goals. Well done Lex!
Ya like when he declared no one cares about China's genocide of the Uighurs despite the US enforcing numerous sanctions, confronting China continuously on the world stage for doing so, and even directly criticizing Xi in presidential meetings? I sure do, and it's exactly why I know listening to anything Chamath says is a huge waste of time.
Wow, chamath saying his dad never told him he loved him, really felt that in my heart & my father has & does tell me. But it hurts to know someone so amazing like chamath not getting that love 🥺😢 you are love brother chamath 🙏🏾❤️ so unconditionally
Man Lex, I just started diving into your work and it gets me right in the feels every time. Great show, great guests, and you truly are an amazing human.
@@inspiregrow2336 my dad was dealing with heavy cocaine addiction until I was around 8 then his younger brother died suddenly in a club shooting. This about broke my father and he would take it out on me and my sister who I struggled to protect as the years went on the physical abuse toned down but the emotional abuse was even worse well into my early adulthood. Now I have to learn to forgive him because my father and mother are old and calmed down now and I have to be stronger than that past. My father has shown some signs of deep regret in how he treated me but the damage is done all I can do now is make the best of life. To say it held me back is an understatement and I know I have wasted my youth finding ways to cope through broken relationships and drug use myself but now I have to be better.
I've never written so much notes from one episode. That was very informative. Many of us can only ever aspire to have such a curious mind as Chamath. But not all hope is lost, it's a good start.
Chamath and you are what youngsters should look up to be. The intellectual curiosity and it’s honesty is the highest virtue of mankind. As it goes beyond who we identify ourselves that breaks us apart as much as bring us together. Just a human to human in it’s fundamental form.
Thanks Lex for a great interview as usual. And thank you Chamath for sharing your childhood. My father is 95 and I've been thinking a lot about his life, his legacy. Hopefully, the story of your relationship with your father, now shared worldwide, can help men realize that there is a place for gentleness and compassion, for being a good role model for one's children. I was so lucky that my father was like the ideal father, always cheerful and always present for his children (we're eight siblings in total). He was a self-made millionaire but due to the Vietnam War, he lost everything and we had to start over in Canada. Here, in a new land, he worked two jobs to support his family. It is indeed sad that there are fathers who did not love or show enough love to their children, but I think that makes it even more crucial for good fathers like yourself to speak up and be a role model. Thank you.
I wasn’t expecting but I did cry when Chamath answered why we were here, and he said he would be ready to go anytime. Life is great. Thank you so much for existing, Lex and Chamath.
That's interesting because I was watching on spotify and came here to see if anyone else felt like he was painfully disingenuous. Different strokes I guess.
Chamath was regarding in Facebook as a fully fledged bully, often making his subordinates cry. I don't know how much of this is true, but some people are double-faced
@@Boredoutofmywits He's apparently worked really hard to change the way he used to be because its true, he was a total asshole back in the day but i also think thats because he had to come from nothing and didnt really have a good mentor to look at in how to move through business gently, etc.
This is probably the best youtube video I have ever seen. The amount of value shared. But also the amount of empathy and comprehension Chamath has is inspiring. I'm very inspired. Hopefully one day I can interview him too. I'd love to have a conversation with him. Ever so grateful for this interview Lex.
As a Lex fan and an All-In/Chamath fan, this conversation was amazing. Heading into the US Thanksgiving holiday, I hope you both know how thankful many many people (me included!) are for your brilliance, compassion, vision, and willingness to spend time sharing your thoughts and insights with others. Leaders like you bring such hope...
I am supposed to be studying for the Calculus 2 exam I have in two days, but this episode was so good I had to sacrifice 3 hours. Thank you for what you are doing Lex. I am inspired to learn how to ask better questions.
It's worth the sacrifice, I remember watching lex interviews instead of studying for calc 2/3 and complex analysis exams and it worked for me :p -- good luck!
I understand beeing glued to this but since you can alway watch it later it would have been better studying then watch it. I was doing like you in the past and it hurts my scores.
Wow that intro hit hard… I get asked all the time how I remember things so well. I grew up poor and 1st generation in America. I was always hyper vigilant because I too had to go out and pick my bamboo stick I would get hit with. Growing up I was taught to never make the same mistake and when I did, I would see the red marks on my hands and legs. Im 30 and I’m successful now because when someone tells me something or when I learn something, I rarely rarely ever forget. All I can think about is if I mess up, I’ll cause disappointment and see those marks again. Never. Never again I always tell myself
Many of us including me have had similar stories to yours and Chamath. While I can't change the past, I can influence the present and hopefully the future. Just make sure your kids know that they are loved unconditionally even when they make mistakes and they are respected as human beings. We can't pass this to our future generations. Our kids deserve better than what we got. Our parents projected their own failures, anxieties and traumas on us and that is a shame. I have learnt to live with the fact that they are too immature to self reflect so it will be how it is. I try to live by "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
@@JakeAllen3 it’s difficult because I know the amount of disappointment someone can have when you fail them. I can let go of what happened but I don’t want to ever disappoint by friends and peers in the way I feel like I disappointed my parents when I made mistakes. I’m not perfect but I do my best everyday to be that. I’m extremely vigilant in what I say and what I do because I know the cascading effects it can have
@@timchow924 That is very interesting coping mechanism you have :) I on the other hand am no longer interested or bothered anymore about letting someone else down. I don't give anyone the power to ruin my mood anymore. Once I stopped caring about disappointing other people, it actually set me free. I am only conscious around those who depend on me emotionally; my wife and my kids. I need to be a better father and a husband than my father ever was. Other than that, I don't care. Doesn't mean I am nasty or not cognizant of others; I just do what I think is right and if someone else disprove because I didn't meet their standards, I could care less! Once I stopped associating my self worth on others' approval, life became so much calmer. There is a book that helped me. "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents." It is a great read and helped me immensely.
For a tech guy. Chamath is surprisingly relatable. I’m not a tech guy full disclosure lol. But he’s so grounded and you can get the vibe that dude is a deep thinker and emotionally available to those close to him. Great to know see this in tech(nerd) guys
Chamath, you are a part of our lives now. Thank you for braving the loneliness it took to get here in front of us. Inspiring. you are the same, brother ❤️
@@titusp9488 this was a week ago so I've basically forgotten everything. But his theory on the cost of energy going to zero and basing investments off of that premise was interesting.
@@DavidDavoDavidson - if his wisdom and intelligence is easily forgotten in a week ... it does not impress me about the value of his thoughts. Also what you mentioned about energy cost going to zero ... is NUTS. Everything has economic value and cost ... not likely ever to happen. Crazy ideas without basis is not sign of intelligence rather it is a sign of insanity.
In the first 5 minutes of the interview when Chamath describes his childhood, stuck me in a way that’s never happened to me before. I broke out In tears of the disparity of my own childhood. I’m 56 yrs old an never have felt such emotional overwhelmed feelings like this before.
There were so many wonderful parts of this interview, it is difficult to identify one part that I like best. I think I'll be watching this numerous times.
Lex, with every podcast you are showing how authentic of a human being you are to the world and to your guests. You show true love and genuine curiosity for humanity in which I believe will keep attracting anyone you want to talk to. Thank you for putting yourself out there and helping guests do the same! 💌
Amazing interview. I am so thankful for having been able to listen to you guys. The end brought me to tears. I think this is what it feels to love someone who may never know you, but who contributes to your life in ways that are deeply touching and profound. You are truly adding love and wisdom to this world. Cheers to you both!🎉
This is a fantastic interview. Now that I've listened to more Lex interviews than I can count...I sincerely want Lex Fridman to interview Lex Fridman...can I get an ETA on that?
The best medicine for a very stressful day at work, just to come home on the sofa, open a glass of red wine and listen to an interview with Chamath. You always learn something and you have this affect that everything is gonna be OK truthful, and honest to yourself Thank you Lex! you did it again this is another five star interview.
Damn Lex.... Damn. Not only was this a great episode, but I think at least for me, it was a tipping point episode. Getting to know Chamath deeper through your interview style really put you on my Mount Rushmore of Podcasters. You are actually the first face I would carve out. Love Rogan, Dax, and the All In podcast besties, but you consistently deliver high level in depth conversations that are just a damn joy to listen to. In a world filled with people doing weird crap to get noticed, you are this subtle force that is powerful to listen to. Hell you even made me really like Ben Shapiro! I didn't think that was possible. Thank you Lex, Thank you.
I can fully relate to his story but still haven’t made it in life which is a shame. I went through the same path basically. Might still be able to make it before my time is up
My initial thought was that everyone gets punished, how in the heck do you have debilitating hyper vigilance from getting physically punished by your parents? Then I continued listening and it is bringing my childhood to the surface (so hopefully I can fix my issues at age 31). One thing about Lex is that he showed me that listening more intently and getting into something more deeply despite the initial taste is important, it opens up something for me to learn, especially views I disagree with
My Dad was bought up in a similar way to this, but my Dad chose, or didn’t have the tools to find monetary success, or even have a career, he did try a few things and got us out of “a relative” poor beginning via factory work, the coal mines to starting a snack van from being made redundant. He always gave me the most valuable things though, his attention, life lessons, structure, discipline, to put up with my mum at times when she was unreasonable, delayed gratification and I think I could have always talked to him (though I didn’t really, just jokes mainly) and I’ve always had the confidence that he will be there for me, and he has. He broke a cycle and is the most selfless person I know to his detriment mostly. He will never understand that his horrible start has created an environment for my son to thrive, it’s all down to his sacrifice, hard work and selflessness. He is my hero🇬🇧👊🏼
Thanks, Lex, for introducing Chamath Palihapitiya. Thanks, Chamath, for sharing so much about yourself, fore sure, it will be helpful to any listeners who need it. ❤❤❤
We all struggle with feeling worthless at times, even the most successful people. It's important to remind ourselves that we are worthy of love and happiness. It's okay to not feel our best, but reaching out for support can help. It's a journey, but one worth taking.
Incredible conversation from the very beginning. Forgiveness. Walking on eggshells. Growing up with abuse. You calmed my mind. I finally forgave my parents after my mother's passing. It takes a long time to heal. Your conversation on this is what we need. Thank you. ❤️
Wow... what a great podcast with this "liberated" human being, Chamath Palihapitiya, an ordinary person with an extraordinary depth in life, business, and relationship. It's also nice to see you both expressing your mutual and genuine respect for each other. Thank you Lex.
Wow, The message from the Fcaebook (37:35) to Fixing Social Media(1:17:07) was such a good insight. This guy is fantastic and I was looking for books this guy has written (Unfortuantely not yet). If you guys have any resources that this guy has written or contributed to, pls do let me know. And the steal-man concept (Put yourself in their view) was yet so simple to understand but so hard to execute in everything you do was so well-put by this man. Just Amazing. Learnt a lot .
Chamath is so bright and visionary. And obviously, I do not understand all of them. Therefore, I must listen to this pod many times to fully digest them. Thank you, Lex and Chamath.
I haven’t watched yet but I hope you asked him about his famous statement “nobody cares about the Uyghurs”. That’s what I’ll always remember this guy for.
No "uh", "um", or any hesitation when speaking throughout this entire conversation. That's staggering. This guy's an incredibly brilliant communicator.
I was so engrossed in this podcast i didn’t even realize how long it was until it was over. These conversations are invaluable and give me hope for our future.
I very much myself find a shared childhood with him that also come to peace eventually when we grow up. But that also somehow forms our hyper vigilant as well as high self observed personality.

Chamath is my second favorite bestie from the All In Podcast after David Sacks!
Thank you Lex for giving us access to such high level conversations between two intellectuals! We really need more people like you in this world.
Appreciate you Lex, cheers my friend, from a Hermit on a little island…

Chammath is confusing “mistakes” with “grifting”.
Chamath is a monster himself, he literally said Chinese slave labour is ‘below his line’. He’s a racist and a narcissist. Disgusting human being.

The interview we needed 🙌
this is the way 🫶
This was one of the most eye opening, heart wrenching, and yet… so packed with answers - interviews I’ve ever seen.
💯
Inspiring how comfortable Chamath is with being vulnerable. Enormous respect for the both of you. Lex, you're a gift to humanity. #Love from Kenya
he is a creep
Love back to you from USA brother
It took 4 minutes for me to recognize, this person, Chamath, has been born with wonderful personality.
Listening to Chamath honestly and bravely described growing up poor as a young kid and being severely punished physically by his dad which I can relate to myself, is so sobering and using that experience to motivate and inspire him to succeed in his adult life. I now have more respect for him even though I already have tremendous admiration for him before this.

I wish I could articulate anything half as well as Chamath does. Such a smart guy and super communicator ❤️
Known for lying and pumping stock that has little inherent value. You really out to find better people to look up to.
Facts
This is one of the best podcasts i've ever heard
same
You gotta be new here.

Chamath is one of my favorite people to listen to and I love his podcast. It's AWESOME seeing him on yours!
he's a fraud man
Likewise
Beautiful interview. I cannot imagine how many high achieving individuals resonated with Chamath.

It mustve been difficult but so freeing. I hope someday I will be able to do the same with my family. Thank you, Lex, for having this conversation.
You can see how Chamath looks at being vulnerable and talking about his insecurities as a strength.
This was one of my favourite episodes. To see how someone can overcome extreme struggles and still be so successful and being so humble. You leave this session feeling enlightenment.
This guy is not humble lol, ever heard the "below my bar" rant?
Lol is this your burner Chamath. This man is a self obsessed billionaire not humble lmao. He says he cares about Human rights but doesn’t care about Uighyur abuse in china. He leads retail investors with BS investments, manages to escape while he mentions he is a long term investor. Compares himself to Buffett as the next greatest investor lmao…humble.
This guy is a snake….
He is NOT humble
@Mustafa Khan cool go throw 10k into his next SPAC
Lex never misses with his guest list
Chamath is a charlatan and a scammer. I think that is pretty big miss
I gotta say the only time I ever disliked a guest was when Destiny came on. But he's got such an amazing guest list otherwise, filled with individuals that care about their work from the latest Noam Chomsky, to Hikaru, to his current guest. His ability to promote discussion in a respectful setting is extremely unique and necessary in this world.
Ye, right
I can’t even put into words the amount of inspiration, hope, courage, gratitude, and curiosity this podcast gives me. Thanks Lex!
I love listening to chamath, he is so calm and collected wherever he speaks. He is never the loudest person in the room but his words carry the most weight.
well said!
He is the loudest person in the room that he is being interviewed for
He stinks of scam.
I have worked with people like this.
one of the best episodes by far. Vulnerable and insightful all at the same time
He should be the press secretary right away
Not giving into the self doubt - so key. I grew up near Bay/Bloor in Toronto, moved to Ottawa, now live in New York. Everything Chamath said really resonated with me. Love this
The best podcast all year. The more I learn about Chamath and his story the more empowered I feel about accomplishing my own dreams and goals. Well done Lex!
Complete fraud con man. Don’t believe his bullshit.
I like the guy, he’s a smart dude. But he sure has many faults and dark ideas he doesn’t let on often
Ya like when he declared no one cares about China's genocide of the Uighurs despite the US enforcing numerous sanctions, confronting China continuously on the world stage for doing so, and even directly criticizing Xi in presidential meetings? I sure do, and it's exactly why I know listening to anything Chamath says is a huge waste of time.
Keep Going . . . 🚀
Chamath is a conman. The best thing about him is to invest in his spac when there is no risk and sell the moment he con naive investors.
Wow, chamath saying his dad never told him he loved him, really felt that in my heart & my father has & does tell me. But it hurts to know someone so amazing like chamath not getting that love 🥺😢 you are love brother chamath 🙏🏾❤️ so unconditionally
my father hasn't told me he loves me once in my entire life, but he has shown me endless times. Love isn't always something you exchange with words.
@@connormatthews522 great perspective brother! I think not getting physically abused or verbally abused is already a win 🙏🏾
He are not obliged to tell. He is your father , tha is, be grateful, without this person you may not be born
Man Lex, I just started diving into your work and it gets me right in the feels every time. Great show, great guests, and you truly are an amazing human.
Chamath is a hustler....he's acting all nice now
exactly....i can't believe all these fools
His first story was so similar to my childhood now I am 30 years old and just starting my life finally feeling safe
Do you find out why your parents was like that
Same.
@@inspiregrow2336 my dad was dealing with heavy cocaine addiction until I was around 8 then his younger brother died suddenly in a club shooting. This about broke my father and he would take it out on me and my sister who I struggled to protect as the years went on the physical abuse toned down but the emotional abuse was even worse well into my early adulthood. Now I have to learn to forgive him because my father and mother are old and calmed down now and I have to be stronger than that past. My father has shown some signs of deep regret in how he treated me but the damage is done all I can do now is make the best of life. To say it held me back is an understatement and I know I have wasted my youth finding ways to cope through broken relationships and drug use myself but now I have to be better.
❤
Some of your recent episodes have been absolutely incredible. Thank you for bringing these gem of people, keep up the good work.
I've never written so much notes from one episode. That was very informative. Many of us can only ever aspire to have such a curious mind as Chamath. But not all hope is lost, it's a good start.
Chamath and you are what youngsters should look up to be.
The intellectual curiosity and it’s honesty is the highest virtue of mankind. As it goes beyond who we identify ourselves that breaks us apart as much as bring us together.
Just a human to human in it’s fundamental form.
Bravery is the highest virtue at the end of the day
He’s scummy ass well
Thanks Lex for a great interview as usual. And thank you Chamath for sharing your childhood. My father is 95 and I've been thinking a lot about his life, his legacy. Hopefully, the story of your relationship with your father, now shared worldwide, can help men realize that there is a place for gentleness and compassion, for being a good role model for one's children. I was so lucky that my father was like the ideal father, always cheerful and always present for his children (we're eight siblings in total). He was a self-made millionaire but due to the Vietnam War, he lost everything and we had to start over in Canada. Here, in a new land, he worked two jobs to support his family. It is indeed sad that there are fathers who did not love or show enough love to their children, but I think that makes it even more crucial for good fathers like yourself to speak up and be a role model. Thank you.
This man is so well spoken the way he speaks is so simple and elegant what an amazing podcast
Totally. 💯 Radio Voice
Thanks, Lex and Chamath, for this heart-warming, eye-opening, and healing conversation.
This will be on repeat for a while 🥲
I wasn’t expecting but I did cry when Chamath answered why we were here, and he said he would be ready to go anytime. Life is great. Thank you so much for existing, Lex and Chamath.
What a phenomenal conversation between two men.
Found your channel from the Destiny interview... I think I'm addicted to your style and haven't been able to pull my ears away. Keep it up Lex!
i can't live without this podcast Lex you touching life's
It's always a learning experinece with Chamath, the calmness of his voice combined with stories of his life is so genuine
That's interesting because I was watching on spotify and came here to see if anyone else felt like he was painfully disingenuous. Different strokes I guess.
lol until he dumps a bunch of dog shit SPACs on retail investors
Chamath was regarding in Facebook as a fully fledged bully, often making his subordinates cry. I don't know how much of this is true, but some people are double-faced
@@Boredoutofmywits He's apparently worked really hard to change the way he used to be because its true, he was a total asshole back in the day but i also think thats because he had to come from nothing and didnt really have a good mentor to look at in how to move through business gently, etc.
Just when I almost gave up hope in the internet...this came along. Please do a part two. 🙏🏽
Talk to shareholders that bought any of the turds Chamath was pitching in 2021. They have given up hope already.
This is probably the best youtube video I have ever seen. The amount of value shared. But also the amount of empathy and comprehension Chamath has is inspiring. I'm very inspired. Hopefully one day I can interview him too. I'd love to have a conversation with him. Ever so grateful for this interview Lex.
What an incredibly insightful conversation between two incredibly intelligent persons. So refreshing.
Keep up the greatness Lex.
@@amarak3425 I reported it already lol. However I hope you weren't referring to myself 😆
I love that Lex is taking over Joe Rogans position as the dominant podcast on UA-cam
Nah, he'd need to lose 20+ IO points to do so...
Already the most informative and intellectually stimulating...... By far.
These three hours bring so much value and joy to my life.
As a Lex fan and an All-In/Chamath fan, this conversation was amazing. Heading into the US Thanksgiving holiday, I hope you both know how thankful many many people (me included!) are for your brilliance, compassion, vision, and willingness to spend time sharing your thoughts and insights with others. Leaders like you bring such hope...
an hour in and my jaw is on the floor. chamath sees the future with such clarity it's awe-inspiring. right, back to it...
I am supposed to be studying for the Calculus 2 exam I have in two days, but this episode was so good I had to sacrifice 3 hours. Thank you for what you are doing Lex. I am inspired to learn how to ask better questions.
It's worth the sacrifice, I remember watching lex interviews instead of studying for calc 2/3 and complex analysis exams and it worked for me :p -- good luck!
Good luck!
I understand beeing glued to this but since you can alway watch it later it would have been better studying then watch it. I was doing like you in the past and it hurts my scores.
Wow that intro hit hard… I get asked all the time how I remember things so well. I grew up poor and 1st generation in America. I was always hyper vigilant because I too had to go out and pick my bamboo stick I would get hit with. Growing up I was taught to never make the same mistake and when I did, I would see the red marks on my hands and legs. Im 30 and I’m successful now because when someone tells me something or when I learn something, I rarely rarely ever forget. All I can think about is if I mess up, I’ll cause disappointment and see those marks again. Never. Never again I always tell myself
Many of us including me have had similar stories to yours and Chamath. While I can't change the past, I can influence the present and hopefully the future.
Just make sure your kids know that they are loved unconditionally even when they make mistakes and they are respected as human beings. We can't pass this to our future generations. Our kids deserve better than what we got.
Our parents projected their own failures, anxieties and traumas on us and that is a shame. I have learnt to live with the fact that they are too immature to self reflect so it will be how it is.
I try to live by "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
You still think never again and can’t let it go some?
@@JakeAllen3 it’s difficult because I know the amount of disappointment someone can have when you fail them. I can let go of what happened but I don’t want to ever disappoint by friends and peers in the way I feel like I disappointed my parents when I made mistakes. I’m not perfect but I do my best everyday to be that. I’m extremely vigilant in what I say and what I do because I know the cascading effects it can have
@@timchow924 That is very interesting coping mechanism you have :)
I on the other hand am no longer interested or bothered anymore about letting someone else down. I don't give anyone the power to ruin my mood anymore. Once I stopped caring about disappointing other people, it actually set me free.
I am only conscious around those who depend on me emotionally; my wife and my kids. I need to be a better father and a husband than my father ever was. Other than that, I don't care. Doesn't mean I am nasty or not cognizant of others; I just do what I think is right and if someone else disprove because I didn't meet their standards, I could care less!
Once I stopped associating my self worth on others' approval, life became so much calmer.
There is a book that helped me. "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents." It is a great read and helped me immensely.
New drinking game: take a shot every time Lex or Chamath says „steelman“
ded
Chamath's life resonance with my current life, makes me feel like I'm not alone on this journey. Thanks for this interview lex.
Stop thinking so much. Relax.
For a tech guy. Chamath is surprisingly relatable. I’m not a tech guy full disclosure lol. But he’s so grounded and you can get the vibe that dude is a deep thinker and emotionally available to those close to him. Great to know see this in tech(nerd) guys
Chamath speaking about his abusive childhood really hit home for me. I'm just coming to terms with it at age 30.
Stay strong brother
Lex is bringing out interviews so fast, even with guests as varied as they can be. You are on a roll!
WOW WOW WOW. Such as great conversation. Thank you both so much!
Chamath is “The Steelman”.
Another great interview.
Thanks Lex
💜
What a brilliant ending chapter. Huge respect for Chamath.
Chamath, you are a part of our lives now. Thank you for braving the loneliness it took to get here in front of us. Inspiring. you are the same, brother ❤️
What an incredibly wise and intelligent man. Thank you Lex, for having him on.
Pah he’s a narcissistic con artist who’s lost a lot of people money they couldn’t really afford to lose. Do some research…
@@permabear6025how about you say what happened
can you be more specific about his wisdom and intelligence ? what specifically did you learn from this ?
@@titusp9488 this was a week ago so I've basically forgotten everything. But his theory on the cost of energy going to zero and basing investments off of that premise was interesting.
@@DavidDavoDavidson - if his wisdom and intelligence is easily forgotten in a week ... it does not impress me about the value of his thoughts. Also what you mentioned about energy cost going to zero ... is NUTS. Everything has economic value and cost ... not likely ever to happen. Crazy ideas without basis is not sign of intelligence rather it is a sign of insanity.
Your content just keep getting better and better Lex. I almost have a tab on your channel constantly open. Keep it up.
Xx can c
Wow! Chamath ... I'm speechless. It was so rewarding listening to him. Thank you for taking the time Mr Palihapitiya!
In the first 5 minutes of the interview when Chamath describes his childhood, stuck me in a way that’s never happened to me before. I broke out In tears of the disparity of my own childhood. I’m 56 yrs old an never have felt such emotional overwhelmed feelings like this before.
he's a con artist
There were so many wonderful parts of this interview, it is difficult to identify one part that I like best. I think I'll be watching this numerous times.
Lex, with every podcast you are showing how authentic of a human being you are to the world and to your guests. You show true love and genuine curiosity for humanity in which I believe will keep attracting anyone you want to talk to. Thank you for putting yourself out there and helping guests do the same! 💌
Too bad he also manages to suck up to Putin at the same time.
Amazing interview. I am so thankful for having been able to listen to you guys. The end brought me to tears. I think this is what it feels to love someone who may never know you, but who contributes to your life in ways that are deeply touching and profound. You are truly adding love and wisdom to this world. Cheers to you both!🎉
LEX NEVER DISCONTINUE YOUR SUPER LONG PODCASTS. EVEN if it is 8 hours long, we will watch it in 1 go!
Chamath needs to be a reoccurring guest.
yesssss
This is a fantastic interview. Now that I've listened to more Lex interviews than I can count...I sincerely want Lex Fridman to interview Lex Fridman...can I get an ETA on that?
Chamath you brought me to tears hearing your story
This is the first time I’ve seen Chamath wear the same sweater in two podcasts. He's becoming a real everyman.
Hahahaha. Noticed that too! Baby seals
Did yall ever have naval ravikant on the podcast? That would be legendary if he hasnt been on yet
The best medicine for a very stressful day at work, just to come home on the sofa, open a glass of red wine and listen to an interview with Chamath.
You always learn something and you have this affect that everything is gonna be OK truthful, and honest to yourself
Thank you Lex! you did it again this is another five star interview.
Open and honest. So much good information here. Wish I was 20 years younger and had the opportunities we do now to soak up this information.
Damn Lex.... Damn. Not only was this a great episode, but I think at least for me, it was a tipping point episode. Getting to know Chamath deeper through your interview style really put you on my Mount Rushmore of Podcasters. You are actually the first face I would carve out. Love Rogan, Dax, and the All In podcast besties, but you consistently deliver high level in depth conversations that are just a damn joy to listen to. In a world filled with people doing weird crap to get noticed, you are this subtle force that is powerful to listen to. Hell you even made me really like Ben Shapiro! I didn't think that was possible. Thank you Lex, Thank you.
😎
I can fully relate to his story but still haven’t made it in life which is a shame. I went through the same path basically. Might still be able to make it before my time is up
My initial thought was that everyone gets punished, how in the heck do you have debilitating hyper vigilance from getting physically punished by your parents? Then I continued listening and it is bringing my childhood to the surface (so hopefully I can fix my issues at age 31). One thing about Lex is that he showed me that listening more intently and getting into something more deeply despite the initial taste is important, it opens up something for me to learn, especially views I disagree with
I recommend IFS(internal family systems) to help with healing. Tim Ferriss interviewed Richard Schwartz the found quite recently.
My Dad was bought up in a similar way to this, but my Dad chose, or didn’t have the tools to find monetary success, or even have a career, he did try a few things and got us out of “a relative” poor beginning via factory work, the coal mines to starting a snack van from being made redundant. He always gave me the most valuable things though, his attention, life lessons, structure, discipline, to put up with my mum at times when she was unreasonable, delayed gratification and I think I could have always talked to him (though I didn’t really, just jokes mainly) and I’ve always had the confidence that he will be there for me, and he has. He broke a cycle and is the most selfless person I know to his detriment mostly.
He will never understand that his horrible start has created an environment for my son to thrive, it’s all down to his sacrifice, hard work and selflessness.
He is my hero🇬🇧👊🏼
Thanks, Lex, for introducing Chamath Palihapitiya. Thanks, Chamath, for sharing so much about yourself, fore sure, it will be helpful to any listeners who need it. ❤❤❤
This podcast is getting better and better and better as it goes. Amazing
We all struggle with feeling worthless at times, even the most successful people. It's important to remind ourselves that we are worthy of love and happiness. It's okay to not feel our best, but reaching out for support can help. It's a journey, but one worth taking.
Incredible conversation from the very beginning. Forgiveness. Walking on eggshells. Growing up with abuse. You calmed my mind. I finally forgave my parents after my mother's passing. It takes a long time to heal. Your conversation on this is what we need. Thank you. ❤️
Chamath's interviews are music to ears!
I completely relate in terms of forgiving my parents after realizing the struggles they had and how hard life was for them.
I can’t wait for this one, thank you Lex!
Thank you for giving us Chamath. I was able to access his mind thru you Lex 🙏. Wonderful beings both of you. 👋👏
Wow... what a great podcast with this "liberated" human being, Chamath Palihapitiya, an ordinary person with an extraordinary depth in life, business, and relationship. It's also nice to see you both expressing your mutual and genuine respect for each other. Thank you Lex.
Also the guy who told people to purchase his SPACs and they all lost 80% of their money. No different than the FTX dude imo. Terrible guest.
This was one of the best conversations yet
Wow, The message from the Fcaebook (37:35) to Fixing Social Media(1:17:07) was such a good insight. This guy is fantastic and I was looking for books this guy has written (Unfortuantely not yet). If you guys have any resources that this guy has written or contributed to, pls do let me know.
And the steal-man concept (Put yourself in their view) was yet so simple to understand but so hard to execute in everything you do was so well-put by this man. Just Amazing. Learnt a lot .
Chamath is so bright and visionary. And obviously, I do not understand all of them.
Therefore, I must listen to this pod many times to fully digest them.
Thank you, Lex and Chamath.
I haven’t watched yet but I hope you asked him about his famous statement “nobody cares about the Uyghurs”. That’s what I’ll always remember this guy for.
great podcast. this and all-in are definitely two of my favorites.
Beautiful analogy on happiness!
Thank you Lex for always pursuing your curiosities and sharing them with us. You sir are a beautiful human.
No "uh", "um", or any hesitation when speaking throughout this entire conversation. That's staggering. This guy's an incredibly brilliant communicator.
I was so engrossed in this podcast i didn’t even realize how long it was until it was over. These conversations are invaluable and give me hope for our future.
It possibly gives hope but it also makes it so so shocking to realise our li es
Wow. This is hands down the best interview that lex ever done.
I very much myself find a shared childhood with him that also come to peace eventually when we grow up. But that also somehow forms our hyper vigilant as well as high self observed personality.
I like how Lex speaks clearly. It’s difficult when English is your second language.
