I've been getting a lot of great questions on Patreon, so I'm trying a new thing (this video) where I answer one or a few questions on a particular topic in a 5-20 minute AMA. The aim is to do one a week. Let me know what you think. I apologize for the slow pace of talking. I'm learning how to communicate better without getting lost in my thoughts. My brain seems to work much faster than I speak, so I go down mental tangents which counter-intuitively slows the speaking. The brain is fascinating ;-) If you'd like to ask a question ask it on Patreon or here. The Patreon ones take priority: patreon.com/lexfridman This video is from an AMA I did on Patreon a while ago. I'll post a few of those and then start doing new ones. Let me know if once a week is too frequent, not frequent enough or just right.
Hi lex, I'm iOS developer and wanted to learn AI and implement in mobility. Can you please guide me how should I start. If you can suggest me to follow blog, course or toturial.
Lex, I regularly watch your videos. This is an awesome channel and very educative. The way you conduct these talks is quite unique and excellent. This advice of yours is wisdom in the pure form but at the same time it is too painful to practice. To do things when you don't feel like doing it. I try it every day and hardly succeeds. But seeing that it is the case with most of the people, I need to work at those brain muscles you referred to. I also liked the thing that doing something one minute a day (as a ritual) without exception is far better than doing it once in a month. Truly 5 minutes of pure wisdom. Thank you
Wow I really feel like my brain works in the same way. Im a 16 year old Hungarian dudydude. I found you not too long ago, but hey, even though i have no idea who you actually are, you seem like a great person. Currently im questioning basically everything in my life, but yeah, thank you for existing!
@Warsin I think it completely depends on mindset as a matter of fact it is perception. If we set limit to 2 miles, we find 2 miles is the hardest one, once we reach there we settle, if set Target for 10 miles, we find 2 miles is easy one. Yeah I think it does count, but life is variable , difficulty depends on the threshold we set.
I think you have lots of very real and hard advice to dispense. Dispense it. You do this very well - even though we all know you’re holding back and aren’t giving us “all the goods.” At the end of the day, all we really NEED is to watch you read that poem by Bukowski, Roll the Dice. That was really beautiful man. Hearing those words and sounds, emphasized where you did, that was powerful. Your podcast is a true gem to the world. Thank you. Life is hard. Endurance is the greatest weapon known to man. Consistency is king. Do it. All the way.
Don't apologize for your speaking pace, it is one of the reasons I like listening to you. I'm listening to it before bed and it's so relaxing and thought provoking at the same time. It sets the tone for the next day. Thank you for sharing more than just technical espects of your field. Your mind is so multidimensional. Please share everything you got
I love a crisp cold shower. I took one every morning for a year when I was too poor to buy a new hot water heater after mine failed. I found the cold water to be highly stimulating, even after I became acclimated to it.
- Embrace daily challenges to strengthen self-discipline (0:39). - Do something you resist to build mental resilience (0:49). - Take cold showers when least desired to practice willpower (1:27). - Smile and be friendly even when feeling down to exercise sociability (1:58). - Run, especially when reluctant, to cultivate perseverance (2:16). - Work on your passions consistently, even through periods of doubt (3:08). - Establish habits and practice daily to improve skills and resolve (3:46).
"Persuade difficult things. At least once a day. That will train your mind to follow your passion." Certainly, each of us has something to do that we don't feel like it to do it. Good point of view, Lex
This video has gotten me to tackle unwanted tasks over the past few months since I first saw it. It also inspired me to force myself to workout every day with no exception. If I forget to workout and I’m laying in bed and remember, I get out of bed, turn on my lights and work out. Doesn’t have to be much but a couple sets of pushups when I was about to go to sleep is plenty! Now I love doing it every day!
Lex, love your podcast, listen to them as soon as you release them. I travel 2.5 hours every day for my job, so really, consider myself lucky to have that time to do so. Love how honest and open you are becoming with these podcasts / UA-cam bits. Just want you to know that I appreciate that you’re doing these and I can’t imagine how muddy the waters become once you bare your soul to the treacherous avenues that lay before you. Just wanted to let you know that there are people who really appreciate what you are trying to do here. Thanks mate, from the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
Difficult stuff, just like taking a cold shower, feels uncomfortable at the beginning, but starts to feel not so bad after a while in. That beginning is the hard part, we always want to quit before out body gets used to the difficult stuff.
This might be my first UA-cam comment. I admire that you are willing to go out of your comfort zone and explore the world in front of and for the benefit of all of us. I find you to be a much more human and therefore relatable character than other UA-cam channels that I subscribe to.
I'm going to go out for a run today for the first time in a while, because of this video. Thankyou for your words Lex, as inspiring and elequent as always.
I understand the comfort zone exercise. It is a great thing that shows us we are alive. It opens doors that we did not know we had inside. This practice shows us how flexible we are and that we can do anything.
“Keep the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise every day. That is, be systematically ascetic or heroic in little unnecessary points, do every day or two something for no other reason than that you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test." -William James
Nailed it.. doing difficult things seems counterintuitive but this is where we discover new territory. Thank you once again for your ability to share in such a raw way… “feeling sad but smiling anyway”.
Dear Mr Fridman, You are doing an excellent service for the world, but for someone so young to have an AMA is off-the-charts. Wait, wait, wait until your mind is in time with time. You are Learning!
My current boss mentioned a mantra that I think pairs well with your outlook on struggle creating growth. "If it takes less than a minute don't even think; just do it now. If it takes 5 minutes finish what you're doing and do that thing next. If it takes an hour or more plan it out immediately and schedule it." It's a great system for bypassing the anxiety of hard things; the anxiety of failing.
I've been trying to do this for a while and it's honestly so hard not to fall back on your old habits. But you got to remind yourself that this not a sprint, but a marathon and you just have to get back up and keep going.
Such excellent advice here, thank you Lex. Like any exercise, it gets easier as you practice it and if you stop it will get difficult again. So in those brief moments where you recoil from having to do something, JUST DO IT and do it with all your might. These moments can feel so instinctual that they can be hard to identify, but you will get good at it. It allows you to craft a mindset where you feel in control of your life. The power of this cannot be understated.
thank you. what you say is true and is rarely articulated at this level of precision. its important that people are aware they have a lot of potential to unlock but that its normal to not be able to force yourself to do anything any time you dont feel like it. this is the balanced outlook i think everyone should know and believe is the right one
I think once a week is just right, as long as the question is not trivial, such as "Whats your favourite food?": Deep questions/answers like this is good once a week. Thank you for your content.
Lex this is amazing thank you for sharing with us I like the way you take your time to respond and really think about what you are going to say before you express yourself far too many people talk before they think, thinking before you talk is a special thing to witness. Thank you
To me that is half the truth. Do something difficult and hard once a day. Absolutly. But then also do something fun for the rest of the day. Because that is something you have to train as well. Having quality of life and enjoying it is not something that comes naturally to everybody but is very important to connect with other people and thats what will ultimatly make you a happy person. Like I do three hours of studying in the morning, then go to the gym and then have fun. Or I go to work then meet friends. It is important to balance out. Only being tough will make you tough but it will make you not happy by itself.
This inspired me that we should jump on things that our guts have been telling us to do but somehow we never do it. Like deep down I know I need to take some time everyday to meditate, but I always feel stimulated to do something else. For me, meditating is the difficult thing I guess, I will have to start doing it.
To hear personal content like this from an experienced MIT educator and researcher is truly valuable. Your podcast and all your personal work are unique and inspiring; I really appreciate these projects. What I really mean is that it's awesome that you put out so much stuff.
Like i get up inmediatly after awekening (laziness OUT!) It gives me a great day. Say, difficulties don't have to be big issues, just little simple things that make your will strobger & don't make you weak :)
I tried the doing what you hate thing, and cold shower in particular, and it was making me depressed and miserable. But I guess the trick is meaning. If suffering is meaningless then it does not give you strenght, it just becomes a form of torture.
*Personal Notes and Comments* [0:10] What believe system can maintain strong character and discipline? [2:18] «I especially don't like starting to run. ...getting out there, I don't like the first mile. And then I do it. That's why I do it.» # It's not painful to do something hard, it's changing your state, accelerating, which requires force. Then the movement continues indefinitely entirely on its own. # TL;DR: Know yourself and _then_ be your _self_, authentically!, build trust in yourself by repeatedly experiencing your ability to be strong and grow, personal development and self-actualization requires stepping out of your comfort zone, continuously. Stepping out of your comfort zone causes pain. But you can relativate this pain by engaging in this process wilfully, freely, and habituate the everyday routine of living on the edge of your own potential. Living up to your potential provides deep satisfaction and self respect, capable of maintaining the integrity, a strong character and discipline within any circumstance, no matter as how painful it is perceived. This fundamentally contrasts against suffering, which is only happening when you crave control while not accepting your present experience. Craving control is mostly due to fear of death, death constitutes everything which alters what you identify with: your body, your values, your believes, your reality. The only way to reduce fear is through experiencing and mastering that which causes the fear.

You've spoken to a lot of great minds. What is one thing based on all those conversations that you think is a common positive theme to the way these people think and what they represent? And is what is perhaps a common flaw or something not particularly well considered by these people? In general, what are the great minds of our time getting right, and what are they getting wrong? And where most do they all differ?
Makes sence. It reminds me an interpretation of the law of karma, which says - during your lifetime you have to spend so and so amount of money on your dentist. You can go see him for a check two times a year and pay a little amount each time, or you can go once in a couple of years to get your teeth removed. In the end you will have spent the same amount money, but in the last scenario you will also loose your tooth. So yes, little everyday inconviniences can spare you a big trouble a few years later. Good thinking Lex )))
I agree,when a challenge/love in a career ends,it is ok to move on to other venture that you love...you are young,your life career is just beginni g....seems you are finding it...I talk from my own experience of 30yrs in medical care....I stopped loving it ,so I stopped and discovered other ventures that I am loving.God closes a door and opens a window
It's a great idea and I can really see the benefit to this so I'm going to practice it from tomorrow. I would love to see you in conversation with Sam Harris. If it hasn't already happened then it really should.
as of now I am facing few health issues physically but mentally my brain is working fine so daily I am pushing myself to write code and write blogs or twitter therads to improve my writing, thinking, logical abilities.
How nice of you Lex, it’s a good opportunity for us to have a piece of your mind about things we’re curious. After listening to your podcasts I ask some of your interesting questions to my friends and just a few days ago I had a discussion about AI. My friend thinks, for a human to make fall in love with an AI , AI should have a human-like appearance is what he said. What do you think about it?
Dr. Fridman, you have a fantastically hypnotic voice. That, plus your level of explication makes your content a prime sleeping aid. (Along with John Danaher's instructionals)

“It’s better to do something one minute a day, everyday without exception than doing it once a month for an entire day” ~Lex Fridman
Do something difficult everyday. Lex you are more than a AI expert. This is the best advice I ever heard.
Me too
Manas varri does it count if simply existing is difficult?
@Warsin I think it completely depends on mindset as a matter of fact it is perception. If we set limit to 2 miles, we find 2 miles is the hardest one, once we reach there we settle, if set Target for 10 miles, we find 2 miles is easy one.

Where is this poem?
Yep
Imran Qureshi Oh man. Type into UA-cam, “Lex Fridman Roll the Dice”
It’s a clip from JRE. Enjoy.

Sometimes I talk to humans, even though I don't feel like doing it.
LEGEND
me too...not easy
hardest shit to do sometimes
, but funnest too sometimes@@good4gaby
I love a crisp cold shower. I took one every morning for a year when I was too poor to buy a new hot water heater after mine failed. I found the cold water to be highly stimulating, even after I became acclimated to it.
The sad thing 'bout me is that cold showers don't work for me. It ain't difficult at all and it certainly doesn't stimulate me...
sometimes waking up in the morning is the most difficult part of the day.
Absolutely agree, I tried to go to my bed earlier, get rid of sugar and get multivitamins, it helped me so much.
- Embrace daily challenges to strengthen self-discipline (0:39).
- Do something you resist to build mental resilience (0:49).
- Take cold showers when least desired to practice willpower (1:27).
- Smile and be friendly even when feeling down to exercise sociability (1:58).
- Run, especially when reluctant, to cultivate perseverance (2:16).
- Work on your passions consistently, even through periods of doubt (3:08).
- Establish habits and practice daily to improve skills and resolve (3:46).
Profound.
This has been at the core of my identity.
"Aspire to be better than yourself"

You speak your heart. True happiness comes from temporary struggle and hardship.
One of the most legit advices I've ever recieved. Also, I appreciate the way you convey your messages. 🙌🙏
"I really don't feel like running naked into a walmart"
Lex Fridman: say no more
Man, this is the very best motivating speech from Russian mind set(even tho you speak English) I ve heard for the last 8 years, thank you!
I've been trying to do this for a while and it's honestly so hard not to fall back on your old habits. But you got to remind yourself that this not a sprint, but a marathon and you just have to get back up and keep going.

Nothing is more dangerous than playing it safe and not taking risks
I would prefer more videos like this. The interviews are above my head, this is much more digestible and practical for the average person.
thank you. what you say is true and is rarely articulated at this level of precision. its important that people are aware they have a lot of potential to unlock but that its normal to not be able to force yourself to do anything any time you dont feel like it. this is the balanced outlook i think everyone should know and believe is the right one
This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Thank you for putting into words something I have been seeking.
I want to keep working. I don’t feel like procrastinating right now, but I’ll do it (by watching your other awesome videos).
Do something you hate until you love it. You’ll find the best ways to execute efficiently and eventually find passion in the process
From now on I'll listen to this as my morning prayer.
I think once a week is just right, as long as the question is not trivial, such as "Whats your favourite food?": Deep questions/answers like this is good once a week. Thank you for your content.
Great advice. I'm going to consciously face what I hate doing and do it any way.
This is probably the best advice I've gotten from UA-cam. Thanks, Lex!
Ah, bigger smiles!
I love the podcast Lex, I love this looser Lex. What an altogether extraordinary human...
with time, i've learned that we become what we force ourselves to learn. if you want something, it will hurt - but you will change to that thing!
Wow I've been listening to the interview podcasts but this hits different (in a good way). Thanks for the insight.
Lex this is amazing thank you for sharing with us I like the way you take your time to respond and really think about what you are going to say before you express yourself far too many people talk before they think, thinking before you talk is a special thing to witness. Thank you

I didn't feel like going out for a walk today. But I moved out and I did it!! After listening to this clip.
This inspired me that we should jump on things that our guts have been telling us to do but somehow we never do it. Like deep down I know I need to take some time everyday to meditate, but I always feel stimulated to do something else. For me, meditating is the difficult thing I guess, I will have to start doing it.
Listened to it at 1.75x speed. Sounds just right :D
Great video btw!
To hear personal content like this from an experienced MIT educator and researcher is truly valuable. Your podcast and all your personal work are unique and inspiring; I really appreciate these projects. What I really mean is that it's awesome that you put out so much stuff.
Preach it man! The world needs to hear this. Sharing this!
This is inspiring. Thank you
Like i get up inmediatly after awekening (laziness OUT!) It gives me a great day. Say, difficulties don't have to be big issues, just little simple things that make your will strobger & don't make you weak :)
Hey Lex,
Thanks for sharing.
It's really motivational.
Love this format of video, the slow pace of speaking did not take away from the message at all
Lex, you are my mentor since now!
Lex Fridman is a surreal dream. Lex Fridman is beauty.
I tried the doing what you hate thing, and cold shower in particular, and it was making me depressed and miserable. But I guess the trick is meaning. If suffering is meaningless then it does not give you strenght, it just becomes a form of torture.
hallelujah brother!!
Except the love is this one of the wise advice that I have ever heard.
Nobody told my this on a time management course. Many thanks.

You nailed it bro. You converted those inconvertible blossoms into words. You did it. Congrats. Cheers.
I find these kinds of video will be of great value to me and once a week sounds just about right!
You've spoken to a lot of great minds. What is one thing based on all those conversations that you think is a common positive theme to the way these people think and what they represent? And is what is perhaps a common flaw or something not particularly well considered by these people? In general, what are the great minds of our time getting right, and what are they getting wrong? And where most do they all differ?
The perfect combo of cerebral + emotional
Thanks for the message! I believe Envisioning something that makes you give value to the world, however hard it may be, JUST DO IT!
Do the hard work, ESPECIALLY when you don't feel like it!
Definitely needed to hear this, thanks man. I'm missing some of that discipline since getting out of the military
This is the shortest motivational video I have ever seen !
Very glad I discovered your channel Lex
Makes sence. It reminds me an interpretation of the law of karma, which says - during your lifetime you have to spend so and so amount of money on your dentist.
You can go see him for a check two times a year and pay a little amount each time, or you can go once in a couple of years to get your teeth removed. In the end you will have spent the same amount money, but in the last scenario you will also loose your tooth.
So yes, little everyday inconviniences can spare you a big trouble a few years later. Good thinking Lex )))
I just want to say thanks for the start of my journey
Relevant especially for adolescents who are addicted to the digital world and sometimes think problem solving is an instantaneous task.
Great outlook on life.
I agree,when a challenge/love in a career ends,it is ok to move on to other venture that you love...you are young,your life career is just beginni g....seems you are finding it...I talk from my own experience of 30yrs in medical care....I stopped loving it ,so I stopped and discovered other ventures that I am loving.God closes a door and opens a window
Hey Lex, I love your AMAs. Are you discontinuing them?
Had to like it all the way. You are amazing. Thank You for sharing.
I love this so much. This is the key to growth and being exceptional.
"Where did that come from?" - I'm Russian if you haven't noticed.
I'm Russian and I thought absolutely the same.
i really loved this. thank you
Lex is a Legend 🤘
Great stuff. I might add, if a person has passion, what could be more beautiful than to test that passion with suffering?
Thank you for sharing this.
It's a great idea and I can really see the benefit to this so I'm going to practice it from tomorrow.
I would love to see you in conversation with Sam Harris. If it hasn't already happened then it really should.
@@artiew8718 Did you piss the bed this morning?
Why not from today?
@@asiddiqi123 It already is today ;)
I’d love to see Rogan, Lex, and Sam. I have a feeling Sam is too low-energy to be solo with Lex. Rogan would balance them out.
Got it.
Even though I hate python's syntax, Imma give it a try.
Just more practice dude, will be oki doki
What?? Really? lol.. Python is probably the easiest language... Try java then you will know what suffering is...
@@sarvesh714 try C then 😁
Try scratch noobs
@@sarvesh714 i love java, it's actually my main language.
Thanks for making this Avaible for US, From Morocco
It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day -that’s the hard part. But it does get easier.
you the best Lex!
Lex I really liked your response to the suffering we choose to live in every day. I suggest to read this book ''Existentialism Is a Humanism'' .
as of now I am facing few health issues physically but mentally my brain is working fine so daily I am pushing myself to write code and write blogs or twitter therads to improve my writing, thinking, logical abilities.
Love it. Love this video man and ur other vids. How do u go about dealing with the loss of a loved one?
This is fire thank you, I needed to hear this.
Now supporting you on patreon. Please keep up the great work!
How nice of you Lex, it’s a good opportunity for us to have a piece of your mind about things we’re curious. After listening to your podcasts I ask some of your interesting questions to my friends and just a few days ago I had a discussion about AI. My friend thinks, for a human to make fall in love with an AI , AI should have a human-like appearance is what he said. What do you think about it?
Where is the podcast with Andrew ng?
Thanks very valuable, ill try it from now on
Dr. Fridman, you have a fantastically hypnotic voice. That, plus your level of explication makes your content a prime sleeping aid. (Along with John Danaher's instructionals)
Sometimes I download things with dialup just to train my patience.
Thanks for this. I know this works. Although I am not able to do something difficult every day (yet).
First punch of the day is a 4.am cold bath outside first thing after I get up every day no matter what.
thanks for that
Really enjoy it Lex :)
