    I was a huge JRE fan, and watched about 80% of the episodes in full. The last two years I've lost interest to the point of only watching 1 in 30 episodes very rarely. I'm not sure if it's because of Joe, because of the guests, or that I've changed, or even as simple as you can only listen to the same person talk for so long. I always enjoyed the episodes with Lex, and while I knew this podcast existed, I never sought it out. It came across my feed, and I've watched a couple episodes including one with his father Alexander Fridman, Elon Musk, and Sam Harris. I'm so happy I did, as I now have a wonderful backlog of episodes to watch of my new favorite podcast. Keep up the awesome work Lex! Cheers!

    When you got to the Joe Rogan part and started talking about this... toxic competition in academic science, it really made me think of my journey in grad school. Everyone was very quick to tear down others achievements or diminish others. Like, I love competition but for whatever reason the environment felt like it lost the excitement for actual science, and was instead just about frustration, anger, and jealousy towards others all the time and it didnt really help my already horrible mental health.

    Thank you for this amazing episode with the marvelous Dr. Keating, Lex! Your podcast, along with Jordan Peterson's, are what is keeping me sane and intellectually stimulated during an extended Covid isolation period. I especially appreciated your commentary about the misguided and myopic tendencies of those in academia when it comes to one-upmanship, the playing of zero-sum games, and knowledge-hoarding. It is one of the principal reasons I abandoned my PhD program in radio astronomy and took a job with a private engineering firm instead. Hearing you and Brian talk with authentic excitement about the true meaning and purpose of scientific inquiry as one of discovery for the betterment of mankind was the biggest breath of fresh air I've experienced in a long while. This is your greatest asset, in my opinion-- even more than your stunning intellect, it is your heart and your humanity that gives you the edge. Never, ever change!

      @@kreek22 publish or perish indeed still exists. What I'm talking about is related to that phenomenon, since the priority of many researchers unfortunately lies in being the *first* or the *only* to get credit for an idea. This results in bifurcated research efforts when they could instead join together and share what they know to effect faster advancement. It also means that knowledge that has the power to unlock new and exciting experimentation stays locked in a researcher's brain rather than handed to a budding graduate student for exploration. Fear of losing credit or being seen as the world's foremost expert in some narrow area of the field drove several ego-motivated researchers I once worked with to abstain from knowledge sharing in ways both large and small. I'm not saying people shouldn't get the credit for their ideas, but rather that they shouldn't be *primarily* motivated by this. The goal is human advancement, and we too often lose track of that.

    Hi Lex, Brian. I needed a filler for my morning cuppa joe, and tuned in to this amazing podcast. One of the most important lessons I ever got was that to do something without passion is just like not doing it at all. It was thus the opening lesson I gave to every new group of students I had the privilege of teaching. It doesn't resonate with everyone but for those in which it reverberates so beautifully, the change in confidence, hunger for more knowledge and the ability to pass that passion on throughout their careers and personal lives is what I call a real miracle. People from any walk of life, any corner of the earth, any educational level, financial situation and so on, can achieve great things with that essential ingredient, if you will, as part of their repertoire. Thank you for making my day.

      If you think about it like this. Imagine if I could "create" a universe within a beaker. As soon as I pour two ingredients in like a alchemist. Except my creation creates a simulation of reality. As soon as I created that combination you would imagine it as the big bang. But I would be your god operating in base reality w the true God but yet overseeing my little quantum ant farm .

    Sometimes watching these podcast can trigger me to cry. I’m unsure if it’s related to the eloquence of the conversation, the fact that I understand so little about the world every time I’m presented with new information, or the fact that everyone else is listening with me. Besos

      “One of the reasons for the fear and shame about crying is most of us fear the shame of displaying - or even feeling - strong emotion. I cannot overstate how much this messaging (strong emotion = weakness) still pervades our culture.”
      Hopefully not the first to state to you that crying is okay buddy, wishing the best for you.

      If you think about it like this. Imagine if I could "create" a universe within a beaker. As soon as I pour two ingredients in like a alchemist. Except my creation creates a simulation of reality. As soon as I created that combination you would imagine it as the big bang. But I would be your god operating in base reality w the true God but yet overseeing my little quantum ant farm . It's probably a fractal of entities playing w there god kit in base reality but we imagine that possibilty as multiple universe theory.

Lex has depth on what he brings to the table and clearly it's not because he comes from a software development background, but because he tries to be something else and better. Keep going with the good work.
