I don't think I've ever been so engaged in a podcast before. She is probably the only person in the world that I would actually want an autograph from. I can't thank you enough for having her on your podcast.
i love your stuff, but if you havent checked the shape of a certain something personally, youre too smart for your own good right now. refraction's not a catchall, but ill keep listening of course. your joe rogan for people who can do math
Lex, your podcast has quickly become one of my favorites to tune into. I love multi-tasking while listening in and broadening my intellectual horizons. Cheers and keep up the great work, much love from Colorado
Sara totally reminded me of Ally from Contact. This talk is so touching, profound, mindblowing. I am so grateful to be able to listen to and to understand you, Sara and Lex, thank you! With love from Russia
@@a.k.4o So we're going to act like there's not people who specialize in different fields. The corruption causing so much suffering starts with our Countries leaders holding Colonizer beliefs + old Christian doctrines holding back progress (firstly, in peoples minds - holding them back from true empathy and open-mindedness) and in science for a better future and human history.
@@a.k.4o I'm sorry you've been brainwashed by Nationalist propaganda. "If it wasn't for those white people - " a lot of the socio-political issues we currently face wouldn't exist in the West.
Love Sara Seager. I love seeing interesting, original thinkers so thoroughly in their element. Lex, you are one of those. In the last 2 months your Podcast has become a part of my TH-cam rotation . Great conversation Lex. Thanks 🙏
This is one of the best in your series, Lex. I have found it challenging to find people to talk to about many of the topics that you and Sara covered - particularly the finiteness of life and how we spend it - and listening makes me feel a part of the conversation. Thank you!
Sara is one of my favorite scientists. This was a great interview, Lex. You touched on everything! Astronomy is a topic that many people can identify with because stars are so ubiquitous to the shared human experience.
The Giver! It was so cool that you discussed a book I have read. It made me feel even more connected to the conversation. Very good stuff Lex and Sara. And as a person who was fortunate enough to find something I love doing that I was blessed with the ability to do very well (over time, with persistence), and make a decades long career of, I agree that is the best way to live life and obtain meaning from it.
I’ve been listening to your podcasts during this Covid time and I’m learning so much. This one was particularly poignant because of your profound questions, Lex. Too few people risk asking the big questions with regard to loss of a loved one and the meaning of life. So very grateful and inspired. The breadth of your thoughtful conversations reach way beyond AI.
Lex asked some very personal questions about her bereavement, which I guess was okay because she's made specific reference to that experience in her books. I presume he also checked with her before the interview. She handled it extremely well and the discussion was moving to the point of tears, so I can barely imagine how painful it must have been for her. Not many people have the courage to touch on such a difficult topic when it is so close to them. It makes me admire her even more.
Hi Lex, this was truly amazing. I love how you seek to tease out the truth.Sara Seager is fascinating. Keep up the brilliant work, I shall forever listen. Hello from NZ!
Just another fascinating interview. This is the 7th podcast that I have listened to of yours in the past 2 weeks. I will tune in and go back to previous episodes and I am sure I will continue to be enlightened and surprised. That you Lex.
Lex , you are a beautiful human, and you have beautiful guests. I loved how deep you went with Sara especially on the topic of Love and meaning of Life. This is probably my favorite podcast you have done so far; followed closely by your dad, and Rogan. Keep doing what you do. You have a unique aura and ability’s that no other interviewer possess.
This was, by far at this point, the best podcast of yours! Sara is very inspiring and should be in the public eye as a great role model, especially for young girls!!!
#THIS conversation was after-the-fact, for me, given the one with Sheldon Solomon. However, #THIS is a nice hand-off to the latter conversation.

I love this episode Lex and Sara. Thank you for talking about your husband - I wouldn't even have the confidence to ask someone such a tough question, but you guys did - it was powerful
I’ve watched about a third of your shows within a few weeks. I can’t begin to thank you for how much they’ve helped hold me together during a very stormy part of my life. Inspirational through and through, thanks LEX for the hope.
I empathize in totality with this wonderful woman. I went through a similar horror with a wonderful woman who was the biggest blessing in my life. She left me my son who happens to be a parallel blessing and wonderful catalyst to my introspection, my personal evaluation and quantification. Being that I also have a penchant for astronomy, philosophy and an interest in life outside this rock, I will follow her from now on. Thank you Sarah. May you allow the ocean to carry you to lands of wonder, enlightenment and fulfillment. Angel
I can’t understand why there aren’t more views and likes. Fascinating. 💗 I love how Lex is humble and genuinely curious. Innocent wonderment is the very best of childlike qualities. More scientists need that. And he’s willing to go deeeeeep with his guests. Incredible listening to her experience with the death of her husband. Touching and enlightening.
This was a fantastic video I believe I found at a very profound moment In my own life. I aspire to do something like you do one day, to be in a position where I can have such diverse discussions that welcome a realm of such positively amazing possibilities. In a sense finding this video gives me reassurance about my own journey through life on this very planet. Thank you
Hi Lex. I listen to this podcast in the car. Sara moved me. Well you both did! I hear the love flowing from this conversation. I'm really trying to find the words to express how much this podcast moved me. So I will leave it at that.... It moved me. Cheers Mate
Thank you, Lex, for bringing some of the brightest minds on your podcast. Can you please ask all of your guests for book recommendations like in this episode. I believe every listener can benefit from reading some of the books that have impacted these geniuses.
I have been following this wonderful woman for years. She is an inspiration. Sorry to hear about her husband and father. There should be more of those type of discussions in the world.

Hi Lex, Thanks for showing the equation when you two talk about the number of habitable planets.. Joe Rogan sometimes (unfortunately) neglects to show us viewers what you´r looking at/ talking about.. It really helps the understanding, you know..So big thanks for that, Love from Denmark :-) As i side note i also want´s to say thanks for your videos, they´r really cool, but very long.. So again thanks for throwing an outline, so us viewers can sort between the areas your talking about.. Love it :-) Keep up the good work mate. -Max
Lex you’re such a deep deep thinker, and you have on some of the best minds I never would’ve heard of, Sara Seager was truly a blessing to hear from speaking truth from the heart, thank you.
7:52 That's so true. The dark night sky brightened up by the stars is a wonder to behold. We need to create a society, whereby more humans can have wondrous experiences like these.
24:27 Technologically advanced civilizations must come to this stage whereby they have the ability to be able to saturate matter and energy with computational intelligence. Hence, things may be more intelligent for an advanced civilization, even as it relates to Brownian motion. And if we ever interact with such a construct then we may not realize it. If this makes sense. Plus, life could simply be nonbio or non dna based.
6:15 I actually remember, if not the very moment, pondering the roundness of the Earth not long after learning of the fact. I even remember the room I was in while thinking about it. Unfortunately, my four year old mind didn't quite grasp it yet. I was actually picturing us living on the inner surface of a sphere; never mind that it didn't jive with observation. On a side note, I also believed my uncle's car could fly because he lived "up" in Toronto. Though, in my defence, the adults thought it was funny and were more than willing to play along with my borderline-retarded worldview. Anyway, they eventually replaced the lead-based paint in the house, the fever dreams ended, and I came to understand the Earth was round. Also makes me wonder: has there been an uptick in lead poisonings in recent years? You know, approximately in line with the rise of the flat-earth movement?
@@phillipmorgan4260 it implies that you were REALLY close to having that old-tobacco oligarch money. Sorry about your luck. I too have to work real hard to make a living. Only I'm not so closely named to that kinda money. Better luck next time around 😎😂
Came here to learn about astronomy from one of the Astronomy greats, Sara Seager and I also learned about so much more. It's my favorite episode so far. Also Lex, imagine interviewing Sarl Sagan himself. Just how amazing would that be?
I love Dr Sara Seager. I listened to this conversation three times. I think I will watch more of his videos. I thought he was a pitiful interviewer but I was wrong.
I love you Sara, you make science nice to look at. I became a student of science in my 40's and wish I had a teacher who looked like you in high school thank you for the video.
I could listen to Dr. Seager all day talk science/physics it's almost ASMR ... just gonna slow the video and lower the sound yeaaah - she's so dreamy and a very classy dresser. Great questions, great episode Lex!

I watched many of your interviews. I must say this one is absolutely exceptional.
Thanks for your great work.
Keep it up, please.
The Giver, and 1984 are two of the most profound books I have ever read. Something about both of those books did something to me.
Agreed on the Giver, but the most impactful book for me was Ender’s game.
I need to re-read the giver... they made us read it in 6th or 7th grade but I have no idea what it was about. Other than maybe a dystopia?
Ryan Wells that whole series really changed my life for a while big impact
Brandon Wells I love brave new world because it reminds me how much I love 1984. Two of my all time favorites.

Came here to learn about astronomy from one of the Astronomy greats, Sara Seager and I also learned about so much more. It's my favorite episode so far.
Also Lex, imagine interviewing Sarl Sagan himself. Just how amazing would that be?
lol a flat earther was like "demonstrate gas pressure without a container" and i was like "gravity"
One the toughest topics to discuss, let alone in public. Thanks for this podcast.
11:25
Lex: How soon (will we find life elswere)?
Sara: Well, next month? :) (talking about signs of life on Venus)
i love this podcast, Lex is a great interviewer. he asks all the questions i want to ask.
This woman is brilliant, I wish more women were like her.
I love Dr Sara Seager. I listened to this conversation three times. I think I will watch more of his videos. I thought he was a pitiful interviewer but I was wrong.
I have seen her in many lectures, with a group of guests. She always seemed a bit ... arrogant, she seems more chill in a 1 on 1.
@@xjohnny1000 Ah thx for that info, didn't know that. My bad.
She seems nervous.
xjohnny1000 Do you know that for a fact?
@@xjohnny1000 Okay, just checking. A lot of people like diagnosing people with things these days.
This one was really good, Lex. I hadn't heard of Sara before this, and I really enjoyed hearing about her and her important work.
nice mug, lex.
I love you Sara, you make science nice to look at. I became a student of science in my 40's and wish I had a teacher who looked like you in high school thank you for the video.
I want that cup.....
Beautiful Conversation - I will forever think of the little lights
Hey Sara! You’re smokin hott!!!
Also...Hey Lex, love your show man!
I could listen to Dr. Seager all day talk science/physics it's almost ASMR ... just gonna slow the video and lower the sound yeaaah - she's so dreamy and a very classy dresser.
Great questions, great episode Lex!
