Lex you have no idea the amount of joy and knowledge you are bringing into my life. Being born in a third world country it is very difficult for us to get a good intellectual circle or knowledge base. I am truly grateful for this. The world is less chaotic for people like you. Keep doing what you are doing and keep bringing those intellectual people around you into your podcast. I listen to your podcast everyday and I have learned a lot from your podcast than I did from my classes. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to become who I wanna become in my life.
He is a great interviewer. He lets his guest speak and does not interject himself interrupting as so often heard but listens to what his guest has to share that is always well selected. I frankly love Russians. They are often more intellectual, and rational than Americans. Not so egocentric, and shows a great desire to have his own personal growth as well.
He is also soo damn good in telling how reliable a information is he brings up. He also brings up the person doing the professional stuff he talks about. Really good stuff and must be a pleasure to work with him.
Andrew saved my life. He helped me get my anxiety in check. I follow his rules to live by. Glad you had him on. I wish I can give him a hug and thank him.
I really admire this guys ability to recall complex amounts of information. I honestly can’t remember what I did yesterday. I guess that’s why being passionate about something and understanding it deeply is way more effective than simply memorizing facts.
How often do you do something interesting or new in your days? It appears that the most vivid memories and recognisable time-passing happens in the teens and twenties of most peoples lifes. One hypothesis is that this is simply the time where most people do things that are new and interesting, after which they tend to fall into a routine of same work, same house, same family and same hobbies, which makes days and months and even years blend together into a mash of time passed without recognisable points. There is a simple remedy for that, which is also proven to be rather neuro-protective: Learn new stuff and try new things. That's kinda hard for adults, cause we don't like to be really bad at something, which is the natural starting point of learning something new. Embrace the suck. Play a completely new game (as in: completely different genre and mechanics as you usually play) and fail at it constantly until you figure out how to win. Go learn a new sport, in which you will completely suck against any teen that has done it for a year, and embrace the suck. Have your holidays for a week or two in a place where you have never been and no one speaks your language, pick up words and phrases as you go and communicate with your face hands and feet where words fail. A lot of us sit in a bubble of comfort where we feel competent and on top of it, which is really unremarkable time in which you put no memory-anchors at all.
Lex i'm convinced i have watched over 100 of your podcasts now. You have provided me with hours and hours of intellectually stimulating podcasts that i listen to when revising and whenever i am free keep it up brother.
Lex - I am sorry that people see fit to attack you on the basis of a single question/statement during a single conversation. I thank you for the love filled and patient response - right in that minute you took to give that response, you have demonstrated, to me at least, why you are worthy of the leadership position you are so rapidly making your own.
Lex's opening comments regarding a previous interview and criticism he'd received for it are really inspirational. It's so easy to either ignore critical feedback or give up trying when you receive a lot of it. He modeled how to keep your head up and learn from it. Beautiful!
Whole podcast was amazing but that ending in particular hit SO hard. That contracting and dilating of our sense of scope; "timespace bubbles"... early in life, I, like many, but more than most, was troubled and confused by my observations of humanity and escaped by dilating into nihilistic meaninglessness, and making choices accordant with that frame. This quickly becomes a hellish way to exist. I eventually crawled (and am still crawling) my way out of it via zooming in and engaging the process of "cleaning my room". Still have and keep an insatiable philosophical bent, grasping for greater meaning... To have this articulated as a dynamic process of increasing and decreasing scope; so poignant; it hit me to the core. True meaning coming from that process of zooming in and out... so beautiful & powerful. Huberman is amazing, I feel massively grateful and blessed to have access to such high quality content and high quality fellow human. Thank you
It's interesting because I have the exact opposite feeling. I would like to understand how to apply these things into my daily life to make my life better. I don't feel like he explained how I could do that
@@lunix5438 Agreed. I've watched hours of his stuff and only get a few nuggets here and there on how this can be applied to my life, how to incorporate practices. I'll still watch hours more of Huberman, but wish he'd give far more practical ideas and edit his videos to make them shorter, more concise. His ideas are important.
Lex, you are so humble and real. Your great intellect doesn't get in the way of your humanity. Can't stop watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your insights with the world.
I fell asleep watching something else on TH-cam. A few videos passed before I suddenly woke up in the middle of this one. I don't know how that happened [on so little sleep] but I restarted it from the beginning during work. I have to say that this is legitimately one of the most interesting conversations that I have ever witnessed. Thank you both for such an elaborate yet digestible discussion. This is my introductory viewing, and the first of many.
I was lying in post-op (full quadriceps tendon rupture) when I watched this podcast, the information was fantastic and gave me hope during a dark time. Great podcast as always, Lex. Thankyou.
I love seeing the two of you being so vulnerable and so appreciative of one another and the work that you do. I truly aspire to have what you guys have in life. Being curious yet open enough to hear somebody else’s opinion and want to know more regardless of your personal values towards the information... equivalent exchange! You guys are awesome 💕 thanks for the time, energy, and resources you guys put towards putting this out there for the public. Grateful to have found you both!
You seem so sweet and kind Lex. I really enjoy these discussions. I've only recently discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing your work. Hang in there... Though times are dark, you help brighten up the lives of others immensely 🌺🤗 You're loved and you're not alone.
I've been waiting for the two of you to meet. I'm such a fan of the both of you- this was truly an enjoyable way to spend time, learn, and let my brain ponder all kinds of questions and ideas. Thank you, Lex! Thank you, Andrew!
Beautiful preface Lex - ty for being so genuine, vulnerable, and humble Your courage to present topics that are important and complicated - being brave enough to discuss cutting edge concerns and exploring new perspectives, ideas, and knowledge is offering us great value Also, this particular episode with Huberman is beyond fantastic - love learning in this way 💪❤️🙏👏
Lex, I REALLY appreciate the time stamps. It helps to glance over before watching to prime my mind to learn. I try to anticipate what I'll hear. Very helpful and I remember your content better. WILL RETURN.
Huberman's passion is infectious. How lucky are the times we live; you get to peak at a coffee shop discussion of academics at the top of their field for free..
Lex thanks for the intro. I think you're interview with Yaron ( i hope i spelled that correctly) is one of my favorite Podcast of all time. Keep up the great work and continue this beautiful journey with love and confidence.
Andrew Huberman is one of my favorite people you have on your show! That being said, when you mentioned your conversation with Donald Hoffman, my ears perked up. That was one of my favorite interviews you’ve ever done. I can totally see the translation of our reality being experienced via and interface, just like how computers do the same thing. I love your shows so much, and thank you for doing what you do. Much love 🫡
Interesting, my wife just got her Ph.D in Neuroscience this week. So proud of her. But she has done her work in dementia and alzheimer's. I enjoy to try understand her field to a better degree so not everything flies over my head haha.
I think this is your best video to this point, in part because of the topic and interviewee but mostly it was the new setting. The room seems more relaxed and makes the whole discussion more open and free-flowing. I would have loved to watch the Lisa Barret conversation opened up like this.
On skydiving - I've only done it once, but the actual drop was one of the most peaceful experiences of my life. The distance to the ground was so far away and abstract-looking, that stepping out of the plane was similar to diving into a pool. After the rush of wind during freefall (plus the single-prop plane noise on the way up), the quiet after the chute opened was an unexpected oasis of calm.
Phenomenal podcast. Have started only recently listening to Lex Fridman’s podcasts. Must say that he is doing a fantastic service to humanity. Well done and continue to pay forward. I intend listening to all the previous ones which I expect to be equally precious
Fantastic rewatch. They both have an amazing ability to explain complicated subjects and scientific data in a way that is both easily digestible and interesting. Thank you Lex and Andrew!
I could listen Huberman speaking for hours! Just love how he makes it so easier to understand how our brain operates and how to take advantage of that potential and apply into our lives.
Enjoyed how Andrew tried to refocus Lex’s way of questioning “deep philosophical questions” into manners where they can reference things in the physical world and not lead into large abstractions. The main one being man’s search for meaning so instead of saying that there is no meaning of life Andrew gives his perspective of how people can oscillate between different modes of thinking at certain times. Reminds me of Buddhism and how understanding stimuli that affects you can lead to a better sense of “self“.
This was one of my favorite podcasts of yours Lex, just had to let ya know. Great chat. It was really easy to connect with and follow along, and the hours flew by. You're both great communicators with a lot of interesting information to share. Cheers!
This is the first time I listened to your podcast. In the beginning you were apologizing, for what,I am not sure but listening through this one,I thought you were so refreshing. I love your curiosity, interest and knowledge on the topic and your quirky interview style. Really enjoyed this and learned so much
Lex, Anybody interested in learning knows that conversation is how people learn to express themselves. Of course we all make mistakes, people who haven't looked at themselves cannot understand this. Thank for all of your work and the wide variety of topics you cover. Excellent interviews! Cheers!!
Opening statement is a genius commentary that embodies the crux resistance to humanity in the context of the current moment. I have had that feeling, but to me the words I am searching for to describe it are woefully inadequate. There are few in history with the gift to condense within a simple statement a great truth. Thank you for that 👊💪
Great guest! The diversity of conversations with great minds that this podcast has is a real gift! I also appreciate the thoughtfulness of the questions that you ask your guests, you do a great job of facilitating great conversations.
Lex currently going through the podcasts episode list I am absolutely loving them, keep up the amazing work. Appreciate the time you dedicate to them.👍
The abstractions Andrew uses to describe 'psychological' phenomena (Limbic friction, etc...) are very helpful tools. Great quote at the end by Jung. Thank you Lex! Thank you Andrew! feeling the "love"
My first video watching of you and I respect that you pointed out things people disagreed with and made it known that we can disagree and still be collective, nice and understanding. Thank you for being so humble and respectful “We can disagree and still get along”
wow! this now rivals "back to the future (part 1)" as the best 'around 2 hours' thing i've ever seen. all of the potential of VR and neuroScience is so exciting to me. i'm anxiously awaiting the witnessing and experiencing of the intersection of sciFi and personal development that is sure to make quantum leaps soon thanks to Huberman and those like him.
Lex - Beautiful work you are doing here. Keep it up and running for long distance for making a habit of listening and focusing . I sure need that plasticity of mind.
I love this guy... I think you should do double interviews... imagine him and joscha bach or any other of your more unique guest having discussions of life
Hey Lex, the link to the full episode in the description is linking to the first podcast you had with Andrew. Love the work you do and the conversations you have!
Frankl's Man's Search For Meaning is one of the Top 5 books I've passed/given most commonly to people. How physiologically satisfying that the episode lands there!
For my experience in rock climbing and vertical caving, I developed a more 3D view of the world. Most people see in 3D but their thinking of locolization is based on 2D. Caving is much more intense because the vertical surface is usually slippery and you are in confined underground, structure in caves are much more 3D and complex than a building. I used to have depression and anxiety 😥 I see these experiences as a training tool for acceptance.
You are one of the leading lights today in promoting intellectual discussion. And I celebrate you for this as it’s the most important part of our development needs today as a society.
Regarding the "limbic friction", there are some noise generators, mynoise.net is the one I use that simulates the coffee shop noise but without any discernible words in the background chatter so you stop looking to recognize them subconsciously. It also has volume sliders for various sounds. Helps my productivity when I'm sleepy and thought I'd share. Respect for my boy Lex
I wish automatic subtitles were available. I am a non-native, self taught English speaker. When scientific terminology involved in a conversation, subtitles are great for the people like me. However, thanks for the podcast, Lex!
I can’t help but hear JBP in my head saying “this is why goal setting / having an aim / clarifying your meaning etc, is so important” All these ridiculously complex mechanism are all adjusted and modulated my your goal structure.
@@ik1408 Forgive me if this is a stupid question, for I am American and completely ignorant of all happenings outside the US, but can someone not be Jewish and Russian? I also realize Lex left Russia at a young age, but does that completely remove the Russian identity he built in childhood? I have heard Lex praise several aspects of Russian culture and I always assumed he has a fair bit of pride for his Russian origin. I took his “mocking” of Russian stereotypes as completely playful, and at no time did I think he was creating an accurate representation of Russian people.
@@ik1408 In that case, I sincerely apologize. The last thing I meant to do was insult you or any other Russian people. I swear that I was not consciously trying to make excuses for any prejudice. I merely did not know this could be prejudice in the first place (although looking back on it, Lex did go strangely far with the torture comment). I was completely unaware of the distinction between Russkiy and Rossiane. Perhaps those words should be used by English speakers to better understand the nuance. The word “Russian” certainly does not encapsulate the ethnic diversity of Russia, which I think a lot of Americans are ignorant of. Once again, I’m sorry if I offended you or anyone else and thank you for informing me of the distinction. I am always trying to broaden my understanding and I think diplomacy between America, Russia, and other nations is vital for humanity. I am intending on learning the Russian language next year for that very reason.
@@ik1408 have no idea who Lex is but are you sure he’s Jewish? His last name is but is his mom Jewish? He may literally identify as a russian or identify as a Rossiyanin as you said. This is my first interview listening to him but I laughed out loud when he mentioned the russian torturer joke. Guess it’s not funny if he always does it and there is genuine malice but that’s not what it sounded like here. Btw I’m from Russia too
give me a man with a runner's body or swimmer's body any day....and brains, of course. Buff makes me think "He's big and stupid" and has nothing else to offer.
What an insightful and interesting conversation. So many things learned and ways to think about my own brain and how I interact with the world. Notably through fear. What a time to be alive to sit in on such a wonderful conversation. Thank you!
Lex does some of the best interviewing in terms of engaging in the moment, receptiveness, feedback, and questions. Keep up the good work and amazing guest.

I love huberman and all of your guests thank you so much Lex!! When are you going to do Daniel Schmachtenberger??
Why you releasing these on Monday morning? How am I supposed to get work done?
Fantastic intro Lex, I'm really looking forward to seeing your future interviews. Much love.
Love and patience 🙏❤️
Lex you have no idea the amount of joy and knowledge you are bringing into my life. Being born in a third world country it is very difficult for us to get a good intellectual circle or knowledge base. I am truly grateful for this. The world is less chaotic for people like you. Keep doing what you are doing and keep bringing those intellectual people around you into your podcast. I listen to your podcast everyday and I have learned a lot from your podcast than I did from my classes. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to become who I wanna become in my life.
He is a great interviewer. He lets his guest speak and does not interject himself interrupting as so often heard but listens to what his guest has to share that is always well selected. I frankly love Russians. They are often more intellectual, and rational than Americans. Not so egocentric, and shows a great desire to have his own personal growth as well.
Hello from Oregon, come visit!
@@beckyweaver5981 Send me a ticket! :)
💪💪lex is forsure the man
@@pechoja More rational, less egocentric - like V. Putin maybe? This one didn't age well! 🤣
Andrew has a genuinely humble and leveled approach to communicating, really enjoyed this podcast.
"I've spent a lot of time with monkeys...." Same here, Andrew. Every freaking day. On the road, at work, standing in line.
Connor Courtney, I agree with your comment.
In a word, Masterful.
He is also soo damn good in telling how reliable a information is he brings up. He also brings up the person doing the professional stuff he talks about. Really good stuff and must be a pleasure to work with him.
This guy is so genuinely enthusiastic about his topic and none of it comes across as forced or dogmatic it's seriously awesome.
This is exactly how it SHOULD be. Oddly enough I am an artist but people say this about me when I talk about finance :)
Science
I guess you didn’t see his website
Huberman is god tier; I've seen dozens of his interviews, and he seldom repeats anything I've heard him say before.
Lex, you gotta stop releasing these bomb-ass interviews! I can't get on with my life!!
Andrew saved my life. He helped me get my anxiety in check. I follow his rules to live by. Glad you had him on. I wish I can give him a hug and thank him.
Andrew Huberman needs his own podcast, I could watch him talk all day!!!
Edit: I know he has one out of his own now, thank you
He does a weekly teaching on his Instagram page I think
@@smarty71693 !!! Thank you! I'll check it out
He will be starting his own podcast in 2021, very excite !
noo video-- dude is HOT!! giggles
Agreed, if he wasn't busy doing neuroscience research, I could listen to this guy talk about neuroscience for hours. Good communicator.
Lex at this point, I’m starting to watch your podcast more that Joe’s. Keep up this great work.
Same.
Blasphemy
I like a guy who can express himself without swearing.
Been doing this for a while. I really enjoy both but have found myself listening to Lex’s podcast a lot more often lately
Yeah bc Joe's is on stupid spotify
I really admire this guys ability to recall complex amounts of information. I honestly can’t remember what I did yesterday. I guess that’s why being passionate about something and understanding it deeply is way more effective than simply memorizing facts.
Maybe genetics too his dad is a scientist as well
Or he could have a photographic memory to complement his big brain.

Excellent interviews!
Cheers!!
👍❤❤
Lex, we would like to invite you over for dinner. My wife makes a mean Pad Thai! Keep doing your thing! We appreciate these conversations.
@@glockdookie5231 😂 god you’re right. I don’t stand a chance
Opening statement is a genius commentary that embodies the crux resistance to humanity in the context of the current moment. I have had that feeling, but to me the words I am searching for to describe it are woefully inadequate. There are few in history with the gift to condense within a simple statement a great truth. Thank you for that 👊💪
Another amazing pod cast. I am binge watching daily ! Seriously. Thank you
Great guest! The diversity of conversations with great minds that this podcast has is a real gift! I also appreciate the thoughtfulness of the questions that you ask your guests, you do a great job of facilitating great conversations.
Lex currently going through the podcasts episode list I am absolutely loving them, keep up the amazing work. Appreciate the time you dedicate to them.👍
The abstractions Andrew uses to describe 'psychological' phenomena (Limbic friction, etc...) are very helpful tools. Great quote at the end by Jung. Thank you Lex! Thank you Andrew! feeling the "love"
The only thing I disliked about this is the fact I could only like it once. Thank you both.
I value both you gentleman. Andrew Huberman you seem to be a great teacher, luv yall. Thanks for the convo. Lex!!
lex podcast episodes are certified fresh :D
Dang! Lex, YOU ARE BETTER(your shows/offerings) than anything I've seen on t.v.(and I'm in my 60's) THANK YOU! GREAT JOB! MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
Easily one of the most important and actionable podcasts I’ve consumed, huge thanks to Lex and the awesome guest!
This is probably the best podcast episode I've listened to, out of all podcasts I've listened to this year!
what an amazing conversation, one of your best.
My first video watching of you and I respect that you pointed out things people disagreed with and made it known that we can disagree and still be collective, nice and understanding. Thank you for being so humble and respectful
“We can disagree and still get along”
wow! this now rivals "back to the future (part 1)" as the best 'around 2 hours' thing i've ever seen. all of the potential of VR and neuroScience is so exciting to me. i'm anxiously awaiting the witnessing and experiencing of the intersection of sciFi and personal development that is sure to make quantum leaps soon thanks to Huberman and those like him.
Lex - Beautiful work you are doing here. Keep it up and running for long distance for making a habit of listening and focusing . I sure need that plasticity of mind.
I love this guy... I think you should do double interviews... imagine him and joscha bach or any other of your more unique guest having discussions of life
Hey Lex, the link to the full episode in the description is linking to the first podcast you had with Andrew. Love the work you do and the conversations you have!
This really connected a lot of dots, and definitely evolved my way of thinking
Yesssssssss, make him & manolis your “duncal trussel” 💪🏼 keep killing it for the science community
But there can only ever be 1 Duncan!!!
I could listen to Andrew speak all day. Please have him on again in the future. He’s brilliant and a wonderful listen.
2 blokes extremely passionate about their work, this is uplifting
This podcast is absolutely one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to, it is so intellectually satisfying, thank you Lex
Heard a lot of podcasts. This episode is one of the top ones!🤯 great job 👏❤
Frankl's Man's Search For Meaning is one of the Top 5 books I've passed/given most commonly to people. How physiologically satisfying that the episode lands there!
For my experience in rock climbing and vertical caving, I developed a more 3D view of the world. Most people see in 3D but their thinking of locolization is based on 2D. Caving is much more intense because the vertical surface is usually slippery and you are in confined underground, structure in caves are much more 3D and complex than a building. I used to have depression and anxiety 😥 I see these experiences as a training tool for acceptance.
I also feel that climbing stimulates/excites parts of the brain that not really used for anything else I've done before.
Lex with MIT at the end LOL. Also, this dropped on my bday. Thank you for the gift Lex!
You are one of the leading lights today in promoting intellectual discussion. And I celebrate you for this as it’s the most important part of our development needs today as a society.
Regarding the "limbic friction", there are some noise generators, mynoise.net is the one I use that simulates the coffee shop noise but without any discernible words in the background chatter so you stop looking to recognize them subconsciously. It also has volume sliders for various sounds.
Helps my productivity when I'm sleepy and thought I'd share. Respect for my boy Lex
Aindatsumshit
Omg I'm hearing coffee shop and this is hilarious
I wish automatic subtitles were available. I am a non-native, self taught English speaker. When scientific terminology involved in a conversation, subtitles are great for the people like me.
However, thanks for the podcast, Lex!
I can’t help but hear JBP in my head saying “this is why goal setting / having an aim / clarifying your meaning etc, is so important” All these ridiculously complex mechanism are all adjusted and modulated my your goal structure.
Lex has the most successful STEM podcast. I wish you never stop this lex. Here is my home ❤️
*cancels all appointments, turns up volume*
What an excellent conversation. Excellent, both speakers are exceptional communicators.
I've been waiting for this, you 2 are definitely an interesting combo of ideas
Hello @Lex Fridman, I truly enjoyed this. Thanks for having Dr. Andrew Huberman in your show. Cheers to the new year!!!!
“Fear is a friend that you misunderstood”. - John Mayer
Really awesome conversation. Big shoutout to Andrew
I love your podcast! You are badass! Watching you grow as a person, Epic guests. Much love and respect ✊
Fantastic! Thank you for making these podcasts and letting us into these conversations!
Lex "I'm russian" Fridman :D
@@ik1408I totally agree, and I am a Russian
@@ik1408 Forgive me if this is a stupid question, for I am American and completely ignorant of all happenings outside the US, but can someone not be Jewish and Russian? I also realize Lex left Russia at a young age, but does that completely remove the Russian identity he built in childhood? I have heard Lex praise several aspects of Russian culture and I always assumed he has a fair bit of pride for his Russian origin. I took his “mocking” of Russian stereotypes as completely playful, and at no time did I think he was creating an accurate representation of Russian people.
@@ik1408 In that case, I sincerely apologize. The last thing I meant to do was insult you or any other Russian people. I swear that I was not consciously trying to make excuses for any prejudice. I merely did not know this could be prejudice in the first place (although looking back on it, Lex did go strangely far with the torture comment).
I was completely unaware of the distinction between Russkiy and Rossiane. Perhaps those words should be used by English speakers to better understand the nuance. The word “Russian” certainly does not encapsulate the ethnic diversity of Russia, which I think a lot of Americans are ignorant of.
Once again, I’m sorry if I offended you or anyone else and thank you for informing me of the distinction. I am always trying to broaden my understanding and I think diplomacy between America, Russia, and other nations is vital for humanity. I am intending on learning the Russian language next year for that very reason.
@@ik1408 have no idea who Lex is but are you sure he’s Jewish? His last name is but is his mom Jewish? He may literally identify as a russian or identify as a Rossiyanin as you said. This is my first interview listening to him but I laughed out loud when he mentioned the russian torturer joke. Guess it’s not funny if he always does it and there is genuine malice but that’s not what it sounded like here. Btw I’m from Russia too
@@ik1408 Lmao dude chill out and enjoy a joke, holy crap. Lex is the exact opposite of hostility. Wow.
I completely respect and appreciate who you are, who you've been in the past and who you will be Lex. You're doing great work.
Damn Andrew swole-erman Got bigger since Rogan. Such a intellectual beast
One of the virtual reality stress tests is probably Huberman kicking you down a well.
He's smarter than and can beat you up.
give me a man with a runner's body or swimmer's body any day....and brains, of course. Buff makes me think "He's big and stupid" and has nothing else to offer.
@@lechsiz1642 2021 now, it's time to stop feeding into stereotypes.
This was hands down one of my favorite podcasts I've listened to. Covered so many topics that I'm interested in - thank you!
I've listened to hundreds of hours of Lex, and I've only become more curious about this social media competitor that Lex is building.
Yesssssssss, make him & manolis your “duncal trussel” 💪🏼 keep killing it for the science community
What an insightful and interesting conversation. So many things learned and ways to think about my own brain and how I interact with the world. Notably through fear. What a time to be alive to sit in on such a wonderful conversation. Thank you!
This guy was on the rich roll podcast. He went into his childhood and teens, very suprising and interesting life he's had.
Lex does some of the best interviewing in terms of engaging in the moment, receptiveness, feedback, and questions. Keep up the good work and amazing guest.
