No mention of Sabbateans? They control many nations and those that they don't directly control they manipulate. This is not a theory, is is fact. Ataturk, Churchill. Look into it.
@@livinginthisgalaxy7961 I agree, get Brian Cox on here. Of course I love his appearances on Rogan but I'd love to hear Lex's perspectives while talking to him
I think it's the japanese that have an idea that all robots are alive and worth respecting for their works however large or small. even though we may not consider them alive in the west. they are given a spirit in japan. a concept I really love. just thought I'd mention incase it was unknown.
English had a formal you. It was "you". And English has formal language, even you don't see it in "pronouns". And it doesn't anything to do with aristocracy xD
@@dustinricks5464 Even Trump’s approval/disapproval ratings were NOT as bad as Trump’s at this point in his presidency!!! Trump WAS and still is a VERY popular populist. Biden is turning out to be one of our worst presidents in history!
This podcast is a physical representation of my inner need to talk about interesting subjects openly, regardless of how or who it provokes. Thank you Lex.
As an African living in my home country Namibia, I agree that learning to speak other languages increases your understanding of the world resulting in greater empathy. I speak English, Afrikaans and my native language Otjiherero. Thank you for another great interview Lex.
I consider your podcasts to be my brain food, and I would like you to know I've been gaining weight. Thank you for taking the time to do whatever it is you do to get these conversations to be easily accessed for free by the masses, including me, seemingly without filter. Seriously... Thank you.
They’re my favorite episodes! AI is cool, but I’m personally interested in conversations about real world topics more than theoretical ideas or emerging technologies.
@@derickyyy I'm exactly the same, I also know there are so many interesting Historians that have never been given the opportunity to speak over a few hours to really layout their idea's and views for the average person.
In almost 60 years of life I have many times heard people say, "I want to get rich and live the American Dream." I've never heard, "I want to be compensated for my work."
As much as the guy is this Galaxy's super villain, there sure are a thousand and one spinoff movies about him. Idk if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
I heard the guest talking about Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president, and how Russian peasants loved him, and I thought sure, they also loved Stalin, and the Nazis loved Hitler, and the Red Guards loved Mao. But they were all murderers and madmen.
Leonidas is being distastefully snarky. Every one of us should read Mein Kampf. Just like every one of us should read the Communist Manifesto AND The Gulag Archipelago.
Lex I just checked out your subscriber numbers - whoa man - well done that's gone crazy over the last year. Massive congrats on your commitment, consistency, intelligence and overall joy you bring to each episode. It's the only podcast I make time for. Thanks.
Really? Like when he claims the New Deal wasn't good for America? I guess he thinks the elderly poor had it to easy. When he says shit like that he sounds less like a great mind, and more like, oh I dunno, a fucking idiot.
Thank you for finding brilliant people like Jeremi Suri and introducing their ideas and work to a larger audience. I've listened to most of your podcasts, and this is definitely one of the best episodes!
One of my favorites, if not THE favorite, from Lex. Great insights on both sides of the table, and all impeccably articulated. I'll be listening to this one again.
Came to TH-cam from the podcast just to say how grateful I am for this conversation. The story about Jememi's grandmother really touched me. Big love, so glad to be in the same simulation as you, Lex
I rarely comment on anything anymore, but what a great podcast and great guest in particular. If nothing else, watch the last 15 minutes. Excellence in everything, and respect for everyone...yes sir.
When I heard on Twitter that you left Boston I said "Oh too bad for MIT"....Hope you love Austin and your best dreams come true. Tons of cool Tesla folks down there!
you are doing outstanding work. In sales the best thing you can have, is clients who are ready to recommend the service or product you provide.. listening to your podcast I find myself all the time thinking about who I want to recommend your podcast next.. it's not only a willingness to recommend when asked, it's a self motivated quest to find others to recommend to.. that's absolutely the next or top level
I'm only 3 minutes in, I'm already impressed with this guy's confidence in his speech. I think it was the ever so subtle 'you see' that made my brain think, "man this person really knows wtf he's talking about right now".
I love the way you two contrasted the differences between presidents of old and presidents of today. In many ways, memories of presidents of old have been romanticized to the point that presidents of today are a passed off as “under-qualified” or simply not as good. Considering the differences in environments, flow of information, and government structure are important factors. It’s not black/white. It’s not apples to apples. Thanks for the podcast!
Exactly. Presidents today are on the far more scrutiny thanks for the Internet, social media, cable TV, etc. Things also move much faster today which means decisions often have to be made faster and with less information. Actually today I think we often have too much information and have paralysis by analysis. But ultimately the decisions presidents have to make today are infinitely larger than in the past, which is actually why the federal government has too much damn power. The founding fathers never intended for the Government to be this big or this powerful.
Would love to see a podcast with a Russian historian as well. The Russian revolution and the collapse of the Soviet Union is fascinating and it would be great to see a non American perspective
Very informative podcast! It`s such a joy to listen to historian who`s unbiased and seeks to have a genuinely productive conversation. To give Lex his due: he let Jeremi elaborate on many fascinating topics without interruption. Top notch interview.
Lex, you are, were and continue to be my hero. THANK YOU for an actual UNBIASED look into these issues. National news has completely ceased to even pretend to be neutral.
I've always loved history. I could sit and read history books all day long. I was wondering why I was starting to like this gentleman. I wish I had went to college just to pick professors brains to learn and have deeper conversations about world history.
Great conversation, Lex! Thanks for asking the questions you asked. Does this mean you're having Dr. Tom Woods on for the counterpoints? Michael can help make that happen for you, and thanks again, you're fast becoming my favorite interviewer.
In any other place at any other time the depth and persistent quality of these conversations would make lex and his guests world famous. It's a shame that the noise of the current times drown out what should be seminal productions of our culture, but I count myself lucky to witness them.
This guy sounds just likes David Brooks, longtime PBS/NYTimes contributor. The slight laugh at the end of a point, the general pace and emphasis on certain words, and the sound of each word is almost exact.
Delightful conversation, excellence in active listening between Lex and Suri generating a great back and forth. If you are not going to study STEM, study History. As a History major and lover, this was a treat.
Just watching this for the first time. What a great guest. Lex, you are a brilliant and incredibly diverse interviewer. I don't think you realize that which makes it all the better. Keep it up.
one of the best guest and podcast in this period in time we need more people now talking about history and the evils of the past and the greatest of the greats so we can learn and move forward real history is not talked about
I spent years working with Mr. Suri and his family as a school principal and got to see what an outstanding man he truly is. How cool he’s on one of my favorite podcasts :)
Great conversation. I like guests who offer dense, short but thoughtful answers. I taught myself French and German. It is fun to read and listen using these languages and to compare them to English. But I think appreciating a culture requires living among the people of this culture for a long time.
It's insulting how intelligent this man is... Utterly humbling. His rational and logical perspective on human nature and the cycles of history were amazing. I am also high😎
Really surprised that Churchill got airbrushed out when discussing appeasement and FDR having to break the law...Apart from that, enjoyed the discussion and learned a few things.
Love this guy! Great clarity on the value of understanding History and how it can be recruited to inform Innovation…. Great Intro.., make it a regular series! Glad you are in TX!

One of the most underrated episodes of Lex’s podcast. Fascinating conversation and assessment of American politics.
“It’s not about getting rich; it’s about getting compensated for your work”.
The spirit that is tragically absent from modern America.
In almost 60 years of life I have many times heard people say, "I want to get rich and live the American Dream."
I've never heard, "I want to be compensated for my work."
Lol okay commie
Lex "I've been reading about Hitler" Fridman
@@NoDak888 it's a joke. Every third interview he talks about reading about Hitler 😏
@@NoDak888 I don't know Hitler seems to be a real jerk, the more I read about him the less I care about that guy.

Really? Like when he claims the New Deal wasn't good for America? I guess he thinks the elderly poor had it to easy. When he says shit like that he sounds less like a great mind, and more like, oh I dunno, a fucking idiot.

Well put. The whole conversation forced me to look at things from perspective of circumstances.
Exactly. Presidents today are on the far more scrutiny thanks for the Internet, social media, cable TV, etc. Things also move much faster today which means decisions often have to be made faster and with less information. Actually today I think we often have too much information and have paralysis by analysis. But ultimately the decisions presidents have to make today are infinitely larger than in the past, which is actually why the federal government has too much damn power. The founding fathers never intended for the Government to be this big or this powerful.
Finally... a dispassionate discussion of presidential politics! Thank you Lex!
Hey, one of only reason for living lex, love ya
The smile got me to click, the convo got me to stay 👍🏼
Oh this was a great one Mr Fridman, can't get enough. You are a blessing to planet earth. 💜
I disagree with a lot of his points in the video but I'm glad Lex has people like this on. Amazing as always.
This is the most wholesome comments section on youtube. I love it. Keep rocking lex
Would love to see a podcast with a Russian historian as well. The Russian revolution and the collapse of the Soviet Union is fascinating and it would be great to see a non American perspective
he already did one with Stephen Kotkin
@@danielthuku8192 thanks 😊
@@danielthuku8192Steven Kotkin is great but he’s American, not Russian. I for one would like to hear the Byelorussian perspective.

"Unbiased" oh you sweet summer child...
I love how Lex defines his current human form as the prototype for his future Android
A kinda creepy though........
It may not entirely be a joke. From what I understand, he started this podcast as a way to gather insights and fund his building of a humanoid AI.
Lex, I LOOOOVVVED your intro!!!! You are such an important American!
This is one of Lex's most educational, comprehensible
interviews yet.
Lex, you are, were and continue to be my hero. THANK YOU for an actual UNBIASED look into these issues. National news has completely ceased to even pretend to be neutral.
This is one of your best, Lex! Brilliant conversation and Jeremi was informative. Loved it!
That intro on why you do what you do is so awesome. History and knowledge are so important and thank you for giving us both 🤞🏽🙏
Thanks Lex. We need more historians. Love your picks.

A brilliant mind and a genius ability to articulate his ideas
This is one of my favorite podcasts ever. 🔥🔥🔥
If I may, I want to suggest Tom Woods as a guest to bring about a balanced perspective to Jeremy Suri's historical analysis.
100%
Lex, please. This. Please.
