yeah the fact that he just gave a public lecture at MIT once just so he could say he went to MIT is pretty lame. and his one paper on self driving cars was just an Elon/Tesla simp paper to make Tesla look good that wasn't peer reviewed.
lots of interesting facts that make him a bit more shady then I would have thought otherwise
Although fridman man a video refuting many of the points. So who knows.
The thing that happened to nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe is enough for me. I can’t stand disingenuous people and not going to give my attention to support them.
Yes. I stopped subscribing to his channel long time ago.
i know it’s popular to think everything is a psyop, but ive kinda thought he was a social influence construct.
When Lyn initially made that post I didn't know it was lex she was talking about. Can't say I'm surprised
I was reading Atlas Shrugged and was interested in learning more about Ayn Rand, so I searched on nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 for some good podcasts that talked more about her.
The first one I found was the one where Lex hosted someone to talk about Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand. It was EP 457 with Jennifer Burns (idk who this lady is and never bothered to look into it more).
What drove me to this episode was that I remembered Lex's name because you shared some of his other episodes. But as soon as I clicked on any of the episodes you shared, I couldn't stand his podcasting approach, his manner of speaking or his voice. These are all subjective points though. But they were my thoughts. I powered through that one episode because of how enamored I was with Ayn Rand. Ironically, Ayn Rand would be rolling in her grave if she knew that, and more importantly, cared about who I was 🤣
I now saw the video you shared. The red flags that stood out to me was when he was talking about love. I swear what is it with narcissistic fakers and their constant need to preach love?
As soon as someone talks about love & loving someone else, my alarms get triggered.
Maybe it's because my experience with love is: it isn't spoken into existence. It's either there or it isn't. There's no need to preach its hymns, which is what seemingly disingenuous people always do in the hopes of finding it.
Anyway. Don't trust, verify. Not just his MIT credentials. But also: just because someone else likes him doesn't mean you should. I made that mistake, and am now getting proof from this thread that I am not missing out on any genius talks by not listening to this rando NPC.
