Lex is fantastic. I'm really glad that Joe Rogan introduced many of us to him and encouraged him to do a podcast. Joe was absolutely correct to encourage Lex and it has really played out well.
@@Past10Performance I just found a JRE episode from 2018, I guess it's that one? Gonna listen to it soon. That's really awsome, I'm just glad I found Lex a year ago. We need new world leaders, Lex For president and Joe Vice President over the world 🌎
Joe has served the institution of media (not the establishment) better than many great folks. He genuinely shared what really matters. What really matters is Joe's thought process... it is perhaps unquestionable that it has already soaked into a large, thinking population. Lex will end up doing better and bigger things. He will encourage more talented folks. The beauty of this is really special. Not everything is bad about our world of today. 😇
What seperates lex’s podcast from others is other than the complexity of his conversations, but a lot of people probably take his 5 minute introduction for granted. Great work as always Lex!!
This gentleman strikes me as one of those people that believes if we just got the right smart people to control the lives of the other dumb people We would all be better.
The secret to running this world is to control all opposition to the direction our leaders want to take us? If that means creating the Federal Reserve and all the governments throughout the world then so be it.. I was radicalized in 1963.. when I watch John F Kennedy have his head blown off in Dallas Texas I was going to be just 10 years old in a few days I had helped my father and mother go around and pass out literature about JFK since I was 8 years old in the 1960s I even had those fancy badges so when they blew John F Kennedy's head off in the middle of the street I said what up with that and then over the years I thought we'd find out what happened because you know the Lone Ranger always figured out who did the bad stuff but no they just kept telling us different stories everybody's different stories and they bury gfk like he was a king or a princess then we have to bow down to everyone in the government little did we know that we did not win World War 2 WWII and all the wars have always been won by the same people who start them they're called the Pharaohs they have a home base in Switzerland Switzerland? What's a proton do you know how to listen in on a proton at CERN I certainly do said CERN they will never know what we're doing or planning Switzerland is the home of the mercenaries and one of the largest dealers in weapons they love those Riyad Buster rubber bullets that knock people's eyes out anyway give me a 322 Now give me a Double H 88 how about a skull and bone for good measure stack them up and put the teeth over there Hitler couldn't have done it any better depopulation through vaccination if you read this it means you're part of helping if you don't understand or can't face the truth I don't know what to tell you yell it from the rooftops the Word if you don't want any future for your children
This is such a wonderful discussion of Soo many different topics that do not come up on cable networks. Very grateful for both of the great minds in this video!
Please take the flatscren overlord out back and set it on fire 🔥. It's a propaganda machine which relies on both your attention and $ for it to work. Go outside. Disconnect. Realign. Thanks
Is it? I see another nanny statist telling me I can’t smoke. And making up a bogeyman the tobacco industry. I chose to take up smoking. I choose to keep smoking. This overbearing “I’m doing it to save you “ is how we got locked up for 3 years without personal choice. These people are dangerous.
I'm only 1/3rd the way in and he's already promoted censorship, genocide and authoritarian state control of individuals' choices. And in doing so, directly contradicted all his views developed in regards to his study of Nazi Germany. This guy is despicable. He might be worse than the guy a while back who supported the extinction of the male sex, if only it were politically feasible
People have ideological blind spots, and this interview is a good example of that. Proctor doesn't engage with a central question, which is WHO gets to decide what qualifies as "misinformation", and when trying to crack down on misinformation becomes flagrant censorship. Additionally he criticizes eugenicists, and yet minutes later says "there are too many people on the planet", which is effectively saying there are too many of *the wrong kinds of people* on the planet. Whatever the validity of his claim, he is yet another "intellectual" whose goals may be noble, but doesn't realize what the implications and consequences of those goals might be. He also has a tendency to omit individual choice-making from the equation--"obesity is caused by upholding the sugar industry" and "offering soda in schools". It reveals a deeper inclination to deny the agency of individuals...which is what authoritarians do. Not saying Proctor is one himself, but just pointing out my qualms with his worldview.
I think it is easy to misunderstand Roberts approach to conversations... He is a Science Historian, he is answering the ques. in a scientific mind... meaning, to explain something you need to explain the positive and the negative, good and bad, back and front of a subject to get us/you to understand... Explaining topics this way will of course sound hypocritical and contradictory ... Just the Title of the talk made me want to burn him on the stake also !, then I listened and realized , these are sensitive subjects, but to understand why they were "the in thing" at one time, we need to hear the good and the bad to understand correctly.🧐
Lex, you crack me up. You ask questions that, were I to ask them of the same person, wouldn't normally be taken seriously. But they turn into full conversations when you ask them! That's one of the reasons why I love your podcast. You bring out the "ordinary person" in each of your guests. You draw out your guests' humanity. Your podcast is wonderful.
@@randomichannel ... why SHOULD he.... the Russians are OFFENSIVELY policing their border.... just a friendly reminder to broaden your 'understanding'.... everybody from Kissinger to SO many.... ALL over the political spectrum.... say 'we' pushed Putin TOO far.... 'we' did.... if you wanna CONDEMN something.... condemn THAT.....
My grandmother had a German friend named Heidi, when she was a little girl, around 8, Hitler visited her school and all the children had to stand in line while he walked down and smiled and made small pats on their heads and shoulders. I was 15 when my Grandmothers friend told me that story, and I knew it was important somehow that here I am sitting in a room with someone who met, and spoke with Hitler, telling me how he walked, talked, and smiled at them. Almost like history right there in front of me.
Lots of stories about how Hitler loved children and pets. I have a friend whose Norwegian mother was a child in an elementary school when the Germans invaded under their psycho leader. When Nazis soldiers entered her classroom her young female teacher refused to Nazi salute and the officer took out his Luger and shot her in the head in front of the whole class.
This has knocked my socks off. Really enjoy your interviews which I found during the pandemic. During the 60s and 70s we were anti everything. All the specialist Lex brings on, I often laugh, yup they are finally bringing it to us in pure science, now we are not counter culture from food, yoga including our politics. I can rest in peace.
Mr. Proctor, assisting this conversation was a privilege. This is pure education, perspective-widening, driven off an impressive range of knowledge and detail but also self example, through following your passions curiously but also through being fully involved in this conversation.
@@m92quad55 Yes - that was when the mask came off the rest of the way. The warning bells started to gong when there there was a response to lex indicating that people in leadership positions were doing a good job, referring to current events.
It was some time ago, but I still remember how surprised I was to find out eugenics wasn't a concept that began in Germany, but instead a thing admired and adopted from the United States.
Lex is almost a perfect podcaster: intelligent, high-achieving, tech savvy, humane, authentic with disarming humility and humor. Plus he gets good, informative guests 😊nice work.
Yeah. I saw him on joe rogan and try to watch as often as i have time. He interviews EVERYONE as does Joe and is unique in his own interview style. Good for Lex
I like this content. We need to be reminded about this portfolio/risk management from time to time because we tend to forget (Due to discipline being weak).
I'm actually tired of worrying about stocks. it's driving me nuts these days,I think crypto investment is far better than stock made over $39k in a week.
hitlers mom died of breast cancer. it induced alot of the recent medical learnings of the last 200 years... hitler loved his mother so much. I understandably so. if he had enough love in his era, it all could have been avoided
I'm sorry but this comment reminds me so much of the recently viral video where a woman claims the current Ukraine war would've never happened if she was Vladimir Putins mother lol.
i'm glad we've learned so much since then, thanks to all of his research into his motherly love, my mom still died from the same disease last year. Glad we've become so far. Go find some love for yourself. :)
@@kelliepastellie8619 if she wasn’t impregnated by a Roth child, she could’ve saved us all having to only learn about this in history. I didn’t learn anything about the millions killed in the communist Soviet Union.
So true. This guy couldn’t draw any parallels between what happened with covid science in the previous two years and Nazi science back in the day. He’s a pseudo-intellect.
This is my first time listening to Lex. When Lex asked about censorship/misinformation and Joe Rogan, I almost stopped listening when Proctor answered. @Darrin the drafter I completely agree with you, Robert Proctor is an "educated idiot".
@@fatality9072 Maroon: Used to describe an idiot, a dumb person. … A comic variant of “moron.” You really need to check up on this stuff before assuming he misspelled moron. Now you look like the moron. Or should I say maroon
I get what he’s saying about the personal choice idea we have in the U.S but i think that can’t be discounted when talking about things like tobacco use, or drinking soda etc. At some point it is a personal choice and you’re not forced to partake. Especially since the i formation is out now that all these things will slowly kill you.
The financial incentives and psychology complicates this issue. If a company hires professional psychologists to find ways to manipulate our own human biases and predispositions against us, then we have a right to question what extent we (the consumers) made a genuine informed, rational choice regarding the product. This is further complicated when some companies are able to lobby their congressmen to favor and protect their products in ways that other similarly dangerous products are not favored and protected. Heroin is illegal while tobacco is legal, even though they are both addictive and tobacco is objectively more deadly; meanwhile psychedelics are highly illegal even though they are neither deadly nor addictive. These double standards call the whole system into question. Logically it would seem that we should either make ALL drugs legal, as your argument would suggest, and then choose to either restrict potential advertising or leave it unrestricted, or we apply a consistent restriction to drugs that are deadly and/or addictive and make drugs that are neither fully legal.
Hold up. He talks about how the eugenicists were bad, then how cigarettes and obesity are bad, but then he slaps us with that "family planning" dogwistle with a hot side of overpopulation myth. Is he confused or is he duplicitous?
The overpopulation myth is pushed all the time every day they've done it for a long time and convinced everyone about it but just get on an airplane and look down and see if you see people stomping all over each other. I believe I heard on rokin that all of the people in the entire world would fit in the state of Texas if they were standing next to each other, don't hold me to that.
You have tons of interesting guests but this one, Robert Proctor, is one of the most interesting thus far. BTW: I think you ask your guests very good questions. I learn a lot from you and your guests. Thank you Lex!
Pleasantly surprised with this conversation, I thought it would be pretty dark, but I feel like we barely scratched the surface of what Mr. Proctor knows...He is a fascinating man, and seemed to be able to manaouvre quite well in any subject Lex brought up. The talk on tobacco has definitely given me some introspection...
I want to convey my thanks and gratitude for the quality of your videos. It isn't just you spouting out commentary, it's an intelligent presentation of information on a wide variety of subjects. Thank you.
50:47 Proctor casually states that "we have too many people on the planet" as if there is universal agreement on the issue. He's probably a fan of Malthus and Ehrlich despite them being constantly proven wrong. Is he aware that birth rates are trending downward everywhere and have dipped below replacement level in parts of the developed world?
I so appreciate that Lex gets members of the scientific community - normally so confined to dry objective language in their observations - to become poets and philosophers.
Great line in the film Thank You for Smoking regarding the researcher at the Academy of Tobacco Studies. "This is the man they rely on, Erhardt Von Grupten Mundt. They found him in Germany ... He's been testing the link between nicotine and lung cancer for thirty years, and hasn't found any conclusive results. The man's a genius, he could disprove gravity."
Nicotine is not what is lethal. Nicotine is the triger and what is making you need the cigarette. Nicotine is the drug and the rest of what the cigarette contains is what cause cancer.
whoah, whoah, whoah.. guys. People who want to stop overpopulation are not saying we should do so by extermination! It's just simple access to birth control for mostly developing nations.
As usual, everything you cast should be watched from beginning to end. I'd be interested in the effects of alcohol in the same context as mentioned for tobacco. The meaning of life question is always worth waiting for.
Probably because it can backfire at him and his podcast if he interviews both Putin and Zelensky. Remember Big Corporate media is censoring the voice of Russia state media so they might accuse Lex of spreading Russian propaganda. I feel like Lex would've been a good mediator though
@@kennymichaelalanya7134 or he just ends up in the gulag or dead if he comes anywhere close to putin and asks him uncomfortable questions. but I have the suspicion he's a putin fanboy anyway.
@@olfrud Or maybe he doesnt want to lose his job, like people who did, who weren't even supportive of putin, just because they happened to be russian? You know the world isnt simply divided into Putin Fanboys and Zelensky groupies. Its more complex than that.
As smart and as full of important historic and scientific info Robert is, I feel a slight lean one way, and a tiny nudge the other... had a gut feeling of almost dishonesty, and arrogance(probably falsely), and don't fully trust his view by the way he answered Lex on especially these two topics, Fauci and Rogan.
The smokeing in culture thing was a perfect example. Names one show where people smoke, that show is set during prohabition. I disageed with alot of what he was saying, but one thing I did fine interesting is that german scientist embracing nazism at a higher rate than the gerenal public. And the ideas that these scientist pushed became a bigger problem during war times. Contrast that with the "trust the science" we've seen recently and the current geopolitical environment.
I feel you’re suspect in your assessment (but I could be wrong). I’ve a gut feeling that you are one who uses subjectivity vs. objectivity (but maybe not). I’m unconvinced by your base and biased view as you fail to give a single fact to support your “feelings” (but who knows really).
@Scoti- C I'm working on appreciating your comment, but it was forced right? Critical just to be critical? Anyways.. Include facts about what? The obvious? I'm not a professional
This is just the best way of generations sharing information and views. Two concepts/perspectives join together to create a third transparent reality. I love it. Thank you and keep up the great work.
@@jamescameron3522 if you want a safe place to practice your trolling, feel free to try again. I'd say that was a 2/10 for raising hackles. 10 being triggering.
Focusing on how to "save" the planet from climate change by encouraging a birthrate reduction seems like high hubris. Who actually knows how to control a population of 8Bn and who knows what happens when you start shrinking it significantly. Certainly, you're going to have fewer people available to work on and solve problems that a larger cohort of people left us with. What makes anyone sure that, on balance, it's better to have less people? If climate science is complex, real-time understanding of the econo-socio-political dynamics of our population on the climate is hopelessly complex.
I love to see into great minds.. a great mind to me is someone who keeps digging for truths until they are backed with the knowing to express improperly misunderstood aspects clearly.. which I find many of those great minds in your podcast. Keep it up Lex 🔥🔥🔥
I grew up with my grandpa looking for cool stones. I really like how he finds the appreciation in things that we walk by everyday. I will keep my stone collection until the day I die bc the memories associated with them are forever.
I love you lex. You have such a wonderful humanitarian patriotism and also a passion for intelligence and curious exploration. I genuinely appreciate your efforts to interview awesome people from every niche
32:52 Watch JRE #1757 and come to your own conclusion. But here is mine (as I remember it): Robert Malone makes a good case that he is an expert and a pioneer in the field he is talking about. Then the disease gets him pretty bad, he gets over it, thinking that he doesn’t have the long form, then he takes the shot, then he develops the long form. - And now he starts to think a lot and make his own theories. - Who would not have done the same? He is equipped to make theories, as this is his profession, and his fate was that his own health was getting affected very badly, which puts him under great pressure to come to terms with that, and so he starts tracing back his steps and looking where he has gone wrong. Wether or not his theories are true, his fate is a great tragical story worth telling, and if your own life takes a bad turn, of course you try to make sense and retrace your steps, and maybe even start preaching to others, if you think you are on the right track, and everyone else has it wrong. It only adds to the overall tragedy that he now is perceived as just adding ammunition to the “wrong” camp, because everybody has already made up their mind. This man is still a scientist on the search for truth, who now happens to have some unwanted (possibly biasing) personal motivation to do so. - Banning Joe Rogan for letting him tell his story would be a great disgrace. By the way: when JRE 1757 was put online, I already gladly had my third vaccination. This story is still interesting in hindsight. It had no impact whatsoever on me personally, and I think by that time everybody had already made up their mind anyway. This will be a Streisand effect for JRE!
I think he started off bad, then ended better. There are 7.5 billion humans of which 2 billion are old ladies. Far too many, leading to mass extinction. Nazism reduced the world population, it is noble. Whatever way it happens, and it must happen, there will be war, criticism and complaints.
Scary to to think there are a lot of people out there like this guy, and they don't even care if you know it. And, liberals wonder why so many of us own firearms.
Sending love Lex, I know it must be a difficult and nervous time for you and your ethnic community. I’m Irish from the the occupied counties of Ireland so I understand the weird feeling you must be feeling right now. You are much loved brother and you are a fantastic ambassador of your people
In the United States, cardiovascular disease kills more people than cigarettes - indeed more people than any other cause. The difference is that it's harder to fix the blame for deaths due to cardiovascular disease on corporate executives and corporations.
Lex, I love your podcast and your strive for goodness. Having said that, I think that when you discuss the fact that scientists had all kinds of incentives to stand by evil, it's helpful to also look at yourself on the issue of Rogan: You and Michael Malice had this discussion about the fact that as friends you should not criticize Rogan publicly (at least that is more or less what Malice said). Here in this podcast, you also seem to speak against the censorship of Rogan's podcast, using smilingly objective arguments, while actually it is clear you are also motivated by your friendship with Rogan (since as Malice said, this friendship dictates that you'll not criticize him publicly, so at the moment you decide to open your mouth and speak publicly about this issue , you are left with one option - defending him, by doing so you are using your own huge platform in order to serve a personal goal). Here you have a good demonstration of the problem you presented with these scientists: You have an incentive (which is your friendship with Rogan) to use your resources(your platform) in order to do something that might be harmful and bad( might be not either, but this is not the point here).
@@nates7968 Would you discount someone's opinion if they were a Slavophile? Would you think there's no way this person is speaking genuinely, because they like Russia culture or live in Russia? Would you immediately think that person was a shill of the Putin regime? Unless you can bring to light some pretty clear indications of propaganda, this guy's opinion is just as good as yours or mine.
I made similar observations… not as succinctly though. Lex is awesome but he loses his way during this interview if you follow closely. I think Lex has become friends w so many people that it becomes harder to be detached and dispassionate for truths sake. Bottom line: the speaker finds the cigarette industry and their paid off schil scientists to be the most evil, not Hitler or Faucci. This speaker needs a boot up his …
@@brookeclifford7779 Yes, this really starts to baffle me. All these Joe-Rogans and people with their own "science" aren´t a threat or danger to the "real science" i.e. trying to work under the scientific method (not that any of those critics really would seek information. They just parrot the same stupid "critical questions or whatever stupid pseudo facts" as if it would grow in its factness the more stupid sheep believe it.) We dont have to prove that the world is actually round, let them show us even 1 foto of the f%cking end of the world and Im convinced. But that shows how the actual topic doesnt matter and so its easy to switch from "covid doesnt exist" to "covid is like a flu" while parallel dramatizing the idea that this non existing, non dangerous desease may come from a chinese Labor.
I'm watching this podcast to expand my understanding of all the opinions voiced on the ideological aspects that so often becomes intertwined within all fields of human nature . Interesting discussion as always.
Great video @lex! When you have the time you should interview the CEO of Palantir to learn more about the future of data given the East and West split. It’d also be interesting to hear more about their plans with regards to anti-money laundering and crypto-currency, as well as how they plan to protect the West’s supply chains/utility companies. So much to learn during this strange time and thanks for all your work!🙏
My friend, it's times of peace that are the strange times. Sadly, the times we are living in today are simply a reversion to the mean. So let us all be strange, for that is humanity's only hope.
Answer to censorship question was complete gobbledygook, 'yeah, the tech companies should be congratulated for combating misinformation'. - What? This guy just says a lot of words.
This Proctor pod with Lex is super interesting. it illuminates C19, the rise of the 3rd Reich (think: Annie Jacobsen's "Operation Paperclip"), and perhaps most, the rise of the Bernaysian world we live in, from politicized "health & welfare" to the military industrial complex. one of the best pods in recent memory
I propose a solution to the issue of our "over population" problem...as soon as you retire from the workforce and are no longer a valuable member of society we just off you? Nobody over 65yrs old would be wonderful for the medical sector, free up land for future generations and most importantly get rid of the old people to allow the next generation to have the opportunities that would otherwise be held tightly by the old guard. Or a simple physical fitness evaluation...if you can't do a pull up to help yourself out of a sticky situation like avoiding a dog over a fence) than perhaps you aren't worth being here using up resources? People like Proctor and Gates would be right on the top of my list to put on a raft and push out to sea "à la vikings"🤙
But nobody wants to think further than their own nose in terms of planning. You are very correct and as a whole society seems to be fine with it in the name of saving the species🤪
@@coryernewein Judging by your PFP Cory... I did Nazi that coming. Hope when you're physically injured for any length of time or, for any reason, wane away from peak Aryan physical perfection... I hope you're the first to take your own advice and free up resources for the "worthy".
@@bootstraphan6204 ouch on behalf of the good hearted folks of German decent hahahaha I'm sorry for making a hyperbolic joke, I really have no intention of seeing anyone "left out to dry" so to speak. I do not see an overpopulation issue just a land use issue (lawns are ridiculous, everyone should have some form of a garden, even just a window sill planter for salad greens not to mention community gardens for apartments or townhouse complexes), with thatbsaid though if the people who proclaim there is a problem should be the first to go as a show of their commitment to the cause instead of maligning the populace with garbage food and and ideas.
Having Ego and being capable of acting on it is different from just having it and blocking others differing opinions that prove you wrong(bad way to convey, but it is what it is)
"You can lose a battle, but win a war if you're doing the right thing." on getting Phillip Morris out of Stanford med school. Speaks to the power of the press.
As much as I like the show, this episode irritated me when you mention Robert Malone....you act like hes just some guy throwing shit at the wall and making waves, you FAIL to explain he is the guy who INVNTED Mrna vaccines.
I had this guest figured out when he either deflected or couldn’t give any insight into the complex questions around covid science/tech. He’s wise but there are obvious boundaries, very unfortunate. He doesn’t question authority enough.
Right. He was very clearly afraid for personal or social reasons to draw any conclusions that may go against the status quo, even though his study of nazi scientists should give him direct insite into these types of issues. Thank god their are people like lex who are afraid to question nothing no matter consequences
Light but nuanced discussion of both rights and responsibilities of free speech and the distinction of speech and publishing. Too often ego claims ignorance to appear humble when anything contrary to prior held beliefs appear in an attempt to avoid critical thought. Presenting contrary opinion uncritically is just avoidance of responsibility and ignoring criticism is doctrine, not thought.
Science alone can never *lead* us. Science cannot derive "its own" values! Science has to be led by an overarching belief system of some sort. What that overarching belief system is, will be something we all have to sit down and think about, discuss, and then accept. Christianity perhaps. Perhaps some other.

What seperates lex’s podcast from others is other than the complexity of his conversations, but a lot of people probably take his 5 minute introduction for granted. Great work as always Lex!!
Man is a legend.
And his love for Putin but from a far
I was just wishing their where only clips of his introductions so I can share that everyday for people to ponder.
@@NoOne0000 seriously man im so close asking my school to play him in the morning as a brain enhancer
That is very taxonomical of you.
This gentleman strikes me as one of those people that believes if we just got the right smart people to control the lives of the other dumb people We would all be better.
100%
Kinda like the ones he studied I won't say the name but it seems to me like he was attracted to that topic for not very good reasons
pardon me for not wanting someone with a room temperature IQ to renovate my bathroom. Meritocracy people.
Totally I was thinking the same thing!
The secret to running this world is to control all opposition to the direction our leaders want to take us?
If that means creating the Federal Reserve and all the governments throughout the world then so be it..
I was radicalized in 1963.. when I watch John F Kennedy have his head blown off in Dallas Texas I was going to be just 10 years old in a few days I had helped my father and mother go around and pass out literature about JFK since I was 8 years old in the 1960s I even had those fancy badges so when they blew John F Kennedy's head off in the middle of the street I said what up with that and then over the years I thought we'd find out what happened because you know the Lone Ranger always figured out who did the bad stuff but no they just kept telling us different stories everybody's different stories and they bury gfk like he was a king or a princess then we have to bow down to everyone in the government little did we know that we did not win World War 2 WWII and all the wars have always been won by the same people who start them they're called the Pharaohs they have a home base in Switzerland Switzerland? What's a proton do you know how to listen in on a proton at CERN I certainly do said CERN they will never know what we're doing or planning Switzerland is the home of the mercenaries and one of the largest dealers in weapons they love those Riyad Buster rubber bullets that knock people's eyes out anyway give me a 322 Now give me a Double H 88 how about a skull and bone for good measure stack them up and put the teeth over there Hitler couldn't have done it any better depopulation through vaccination if you read this it means you're part of helping if you don't understand or can't face the truth I don't know what to tell you yell it from the rooftops the Word if you don't want any future for your children
This is such a wonderful discussion of Soo many different topics that do not come up on cable networks. Very grateful for both of the great minds in this video!
I think this guy may be one of my favorite guests, non comedy, across every podcast I've listened to.

@@quantumpotential7639 But yet here you are either enjoying it or masochistically torturing yourself.
Is it? I see another nanny statist telling me I can’t smoke. And making up a bogeyman the tobacco industry. I chose to take up smoking. I choose to keep smoking. This overbearing “I’m doing it to save you “ is how we got locked up for 3 years without personal choice. These people are dangerous.
This conversation turned out to be much more interested than I expected! Lot of topics discussed other than the title
I was really getting a lot out of this until he started promoting censorship. Disturbing how far we’ve wandered from our birthrights...
Agree with you, He's like censoring Mein Kampf Bad, Censoring Robert Malone good - what a hypocrite
I'm only 1/3rd the way in and he's already promoted censorship, genocide and authoritarian state control of individuals' choices. And in doing so, directly contradicted all his views developed in regards to his study of Nazi Germany. This guy is despicable. He might be worse than the guy a while back who supported the extinction of the male sex, if only it were politically feasible
@@QjStout The Hypocracies in his views are telling. Interesting conversation but wow!
People have ideological blind spots, and this interview is a good example of that.
Proctor doesn't engage with a central question, which is WHO gets to decide what qualifies as "misinformation", and when trying to crack down on misinformation becomes flagrant censorship.
Additionally he criticizes eugenicists, and yet minutes later says "there are too many people on the planet", which is effectively saying there are too many of *the wrong kinds of people* on the planet.
Whatever the validity of his claim, he is yet another "intellectual" whose goals may be noble, but doesn't realize what the implications and consequences of those goals might be.
He also has a tendency to omit individual choice-making from the equation--"obesity is caused by upholding the sugar industry" and "offering soda in schools".
It reveals a deeper inclination to deny the agency of individuals...which is what authoritarians do.
Not saying Proctor is one himself, but just pointing out my qualms with his worldview.
I think it is easy to misunderstand Roberts approach to conversations... He is a Science Historian, he is answering the ques. in a scientific mind... meaning, to explain something you need to explain the positive and the negative, good and bad, back and front of a subject to get us/you to understand... Explaining topics this way will of course sound hypocritical and contradictory ... Just the Title of the talk made me want to burn him on the stake also !, then I listened and realized , these are sensitive subjects, but to understand why they were "the in thing" at one time, we need to hear the good and the bad to understand correctly.🧐
Lex, you crack me up. You ask questions that, were I to ask them of the same person, wouldn't normally be taken seriously. But they turn into full conversations when you ask them! That's one of the reasons why I love your podcast. You bring out the "ordinary person" in each of your guests. You draw out your guests' humanity. Your podcast is wonderful.
Lex is the perfect channel for the thinking people in the world. Fantastic work!
Oh my god, that intro! A message to the world!
Makes me wonder why he gets so many views. Almost every person I know is dumb as hell
Literally every human thinks and has thoughts. You categorised humans into us and them. The irony.
... yes.... he should do one of his discursive interviews in Cap'n'Gown.....
@@randomichannel ... why SHOULD he.... the Russians are OFFENSIVELY policing their border.... just a friendly reminder to broaden your 'understanding'.... everybody from Kissinger to SO many.... ALL over the political spectrum.... say 'we' pushed Putin TOO far.... 'we' did.... if you wanna CONDEMN something.... condemn THAT.....
My grandmother had a German friend named Heidi, when she was a little girl, around 8, Hitler visited her school and all the children had to stand in line while he walked down and smiled and made small pats on their heads and shoulders. I was 15 when my Grandmothers friend told me that story, and I knew it was important somehow that here I am sitting in a room with someone who met, and spoke with Hitler, telling me how he walked, talked, and smiled at them. Almost like history right there in front of me.
He wasn't wrong. He was a media bogeyman that the powerful needed to do their world transformative plans. Now, here we are.
Lots of stories about how Hitler loved children and pets. I have a friend whose Norwegian mother was a child in an elementary school when the Germans invaded under their psycho leader. When Nazis soldiers entered her classroom her young female teacher refused to Nazi salute and the officer took out his Luger and shot her in the head in front of the whole class.
@@waysofseeing1this absolutely did not happen
This has knocked my socks off. Really enjoy your interviews which I found during the pandemic. During the 60s and 70s we were anti everything. All the specialist Lex brings on, I often laugh, yup they are finally bringing it to us in pure science, now we are not counter culture from food, yoga including our politics. I can rest in peace.
Mr. Proctor, assisting this conversation was a privilege. This is pure education, perspective-widening, driven off an impressive range of knowledge and detail but also self example, through following your passions curiously but also through being fully involved in this conversation.
Keep being awesome Lex! Your easily becoming one of the best podcasts out there! Thank you!
@Lex▫️Fridman ※※ Thanks, Lex! I just earned one hundred dollars!

What a great interview. You're at the peak of the game sir. Thank you for continually bringing us great interviews.
The beautiful thing about the internet, is it highlights and exposes people with agendas. Thanks Lex
I got about half way through and realised the same
about 50 minutes in when the guy who studied nazis advocates for "voluntary family planning" because theres too many people lol
@@m92quad55 Exactly my thought, .. what wolf in sheep's cloathing
@@m92quad55 Yes - that was when the mask came off the rest of the way. The warning bells started to gong when there there was a response to lex indicating that people in leadership positions were doing a good job, referring to current events.
Every college professor teaching right now shares all of his beliefs
It was some time ago, but I still remember how surprised I was to find out eugenics wasn't a concept that began in Germany, but instead a thing admired and adopted from the United States.
Going further back, it used to be called the "inquisition and witch-hunt
The more degrees of freedom, the greater the solution space. Liberty is the most important factor for scientific truth and scientific growth.
Underrated comment.
Lex is almost a perfect podcaster: intelligent, high-achieving, tech savvy, humane, authentic with disarming humility and humor.
Plus he gets good, informative guests 😊nice work.
You're a legend, Lex. Firmly, my most anticipated podcast of the week now.
Could you recommend some of the other podcasts you listen to? I love Lex, would love to listen to more podcasts of similar quality
@@S0DAo Chris Williamson, Jordan Peterson, and Russel Brand are my favs.
me too.
Yeah. I saw him on joe rogan and try to watch as often as i have time. He interviews EVERYONE as does Joe and is unique in his own interview style. Good for Lex
I like this content. We need to be reminded about this portfolio/risk management from time to time because we tend to forget (Due to discipline being weak).
I'm actually tired of worrying
about stocks. it's driving me nuts these days,I think crypto investment is far better than stock made over $39k in a week.
Stocks are good but crypto is more profitable. Not to be compared.

hitlers mom died of breast cancer. it induced alot of the recent medical learnings of the last 200 years... hitler loved his mother so much. I understandably so. if he had enough love in his era, it all could have been avoided
I'm sorry but this comment reminds me so much of the recently viral video where a woman claims the current Ukraine war would've never happened if she was Vladimir Putins mother lol.
i'm glad we've learned so much since then, thanks to all of his research into his motherly love, my mom still died from the same disease last year. Glad we've become so far. Go find some love for yourself. :)
Could have equally been avoided if she’d have died before he was born. I’ve little doubt his ideology would have overcome any amount of paternal love.
If she had an abortion, ALL would have been avoided
@@kelliepastellie8619 if she wasn’t impregnated by a Roth child, she could’ve saved us all having to only learn about this in history. I didn’t learn anything about the millions killed in the communist Soviet Union.
Lex has the best podcast to ever exist. He is also the best host. Period
Lex, it's called flattery. Far too many nerds are extremely susceptible to flattery and ego-boosting. It's easy... "Wow, your work is AMAZING!"
Nerds more than others?
agree. seems to be the case
Lex, I love your work! This guy is a complete complete maroon. He makes a case for some stuff but then he goes up the elites butts.
So true. This guy couldn’t draw any parallels between what happened with covid science in the previous two years and Nazi science back in the day. He’s a pseudo-intellect.
This is my first time listening to Lex. When Lex asked about censorship/misinformation and Joe Rogan, I almost stopped listening when Proctor answered. @Darrin the drafter I completely agree with you, Robert Proctor is an "educated idiot".
I agree But I think it’s funny when people misspell “moron”, “idiot”, “dumb”, etc. when trying to speak from a place above the alleged “maroon”.
@@martinvanburen4578 Nazism and Kkk two completely different entities....one is Zionist driven other is just a pawn of Zionist.
@@fatality9072 Maroon: Used to describe an idiot, a dumb person. … A comic variant of “moron.”
You really need to check up on this stuff before assuming he misspelled moron. Now you look like the moron. Or should I say maroon
Thanks!
I get what he’s saying about the personal choice idea we have in the U.S but i think that can’t be discounted when talking about things like tobacco use, or drinking soda etc. At some point it is a personal choice and you’re not forced to partake. Especially since the i formation is out now that all these things will slowly kill you.
Life will slowly kill you... if you're lucky.
The financial incentives and psychology complicates this issue. If a company hires professional psychologists to find ways to manipulate our own human biases and predispositions against us, then we have a right to question what extent we (the consumers) made a genuine informed, rational choice regarding the product.
This is further complicated when some companies are able to lobby their congressmen to favor and protect their products in ways that other similarly dangerous products are not favored and protected. Heroin is illegal while tobacco is legal, even though they are both addictive and tobacco is objectively more deadly; meanwhile psychedelics are highly illegal even though they are neither deadly nor addictive. These double standards call the whole system into question. Logically it would seem that we should either make ALL drugs legal, as your argument would suggest, and then choose to either restrict potential advertising or leave it unrestricted, or we apply a consistent restriction to drugs that are deadly and/or addictive and make drugs that are neither fully legal.
Hold up. He talks about how the eugenicists were bad, then how cigarettes and obesity are bad, but then he slaps us with that "family planning" dogwistle with a hot side of overpopulation myth. Is he confused or is he duplicitous?
The dude sucks. Obviously he never took a road trip... overpopulation lol.
Understand the perspectives he thinks in an unorthodox way
no surprises there.. couple technocrats having a conversation
The overpopulation myth is pushed all the time every day they've done it for a long time and convinced everyone about it but just get on an airplane and look down and see if you see people stomping all over each other. I believe I heard on rokin that all of the people in the entire world would fit in the state of Texas if they were standing next to each other, don't hold me to that.
@@oldbrokenguy6311 everyone on earth standing together would fit on the Isle of Wight, Isle of Man and Jersey if standing together. It's not allot
I was anxiently (both anxious and patient) waiting for your next podcast. As always, you do not disappoint with your guest and subject matter.
I like this word you've made. Gonna steal it if I can spell it correctly.
@@crakhaed anxiously*
@@scottywills124 I think he invented the word anxietly by combining anxiously and patiently.
You have tons of interesting guests but this one, Robert Proctor, is one of the most interesting thus far. BTW: I think you ask your guests very good questions. I learn a lot from you and your guests. Thank you Lex!
Much love lex! Thank you for al the hard work you do for everyone!
Pleasantly surprised with this conversation, I thought it would be pretty dark, but I feel like we barely scratched the surface of what Mr. Proctor knows...He is a fascinating man, and seemed to be able to manaouvre quite well in any subject Lex brought up. The talk on tobacco has definitely given me some introspection...
Lex, thank you for introducing me to Robert Proctor.
I want to convey my thanks and gratitude for the quality of your videos. It isn't just you spouting out commentary, it's an intelligent presentation of information on a wide variety of subjects. Thank you.
Amazing work Lex... What a time we leave in... To seat in and listen to such people...
50:47 Proctor casually states that "we have too many people on the planet" as if there is universal agreement on the issue. He's probably a fan of Malthus and Ehrlich despite them being constantly proven wrong. Is he aware that birth rates are trending downward everywhere and have dipped below replacement level in parts of the developed world?
We have one too many people on the planet. Him
Thank you lex for another podcast that I'm sure will be admirable, and filled with not just wisdom but with immense knowledge.
I so appreciate that Lex gets members of the scientific community - normally so confined to dry objective language in their observations - to become poets and philosophers.
The most important and needed and well done opening statement in podcast history.
Just when I think I’ve seen/heard, Lex’s best podcast, I find yet another Great Conversation.
A wonderful guest - thanks for introducing him. I'll definitely be reading his books.
I love how you think before you speak. We need so much more of this thoughtfulness.
I was waiting for a new episode, thank you!!
Interesting to hear him say we have too many people on the planet while Elon musk is constantly saying our population decline is a huge problem
Population increase is mostly beneficial for the capitalistic society. But there are so many aspects of life besides capitalism.
Great line in the film Thank You for Smoking regarding the researcher at the Academy of Tobacco Studies. "This is the man they rely on, Erhardt Von Grupten Mundt. They found him in Germany ... He's been testing the link between nicotine and lung cancer for thirty years, and hasn't found any conclusive results. The man's a genius, he could disprove gravity."
Nicotine is not what is lethal. Nicotine is the triger and what is making you need the cigarette. Nicotine is the drug and the rest of what the cigarette contains is what cause cancer.
"There's to many people on earth"
Next Breath:
"We got to stop tobacco from killing off so many people"
Yeah that struck me as very odd. If you think there is too many people then would you not think smoking killing people is a good thing?
People who say there are too many people are monsters.
whoah, whoah, whoah.. guys. People who want to stop overpopulation are not saying we should do so by extermination!
It's just simple access to birth control for mostly developing nations.
Lex you have the best podcast ever.
@Lex▫️Fridman ※※ This one seems as fake... @Lex Fridman
As usual, everything you cast should be watched from beginning to end.
I'd be interested in the effects of alcohol in the same context as mentioned for tobacco.
The meaning of life question is always worth waiting for.
About a week ago Lex said: "I will travel to Russia and Ukraine. I will speak to citizens and leaders, including Putin." what happened with that?
Probably because it can backfire at him and his podcast if he interviews both Putin and Zelensky. Remember Big Corporate media is censoring the voice of Russia state media so they might accuse Lex of spreading Russian propaganda.
I feel like Lex would've been a good mediator though
Yea lex what about the war in europe?
@@kennymichaelalanya7134 or he just ends up in the gulag or dead if he comes anywhere close to putin and asks him uncomfortable questions. but I have the suspicion he's a putin fanboy anyway.
@@olfrud Or maybe he doesnt want to lose his job, like people who did, who weren't even supportive of putin, just because they happened to be russian? You know the world isnt simply divided into Putin Fanboys and Zelensky groupies. Its more complex than that.
As smart and as full of important historic and scientific info Robert is, I feel a slight lean one way, and a tiny nudge the other... had a gut feeling of almost dishonesty, and arrogance(probably falsely), and don't fully trust his view by the way he answered Lex on especially these two topics, Fauci and Rogan.
I agree. This gentleman bristles my Spidey senses of institutional tribal bullshit meter. Those senses have grown considerably during the pandemic.
Youre not really allowed to disagree with certain things said in this episode, that should tell you something.
The smokeing in culture thing was a perfect example. Names one show where people smoke, that show is set during prohabition. I disageed with alot of what he was saying, but one thing I did fine interesting is that german scientist embracing nazism at a higher rate than the gerenal public. And the ideas that these scientist pushed became a bigger problem during war times. Contrast that with the "trust the science" we've seen recently and the current geopolitical environment.
I feel you’re suspect in your assessment (but I could be wrong). I’ve a gut feeling that you are one who uses subjectivity vs. objectivity (but maybe not). I’m unconvinced by your base and biased view as you fail to give a single fact to support your “feelings” (but who knows really).
@Scoti- C I'm working on appreciating your comment, but it was forced right? Critical just to be critical? Anyways.. Include facts about what? The obvious? I'm not a professional
This is just the best way of generations sharing information and views. Two concepts/perspectives join together to create a third transparent reality. I love it. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Lex ...... We need to watch a Roberto benigni - lex Fridman.... Podcast....... Please..... It would be a beacon of hope in this time of war.........
Thanks so much Lex for these podcasts. I'm learning a lot.
I didn't watch this one for a while because of the title. Came on autoplay and I just let it roll. A very good interview, learned a lot. Thanks.
Did the title offend you? Aww, poor baby. I'm glad you were able to get past your feelings.
@@jamescameron3522 if you want a safe place to practice your trolling, feel free to try again. I'd say that was a 2/10 for raising hackles. 10 being triggering.
Robert Proctor is good at making "safe talk" and avoid dangerous topics :) Walking in between drops of rain without an umbrella 😂
Focusing on how to "save" the planet from climate change by encouraging a birthrate reduction seems like high hubris. Who actually knows how to control a population of 8Bn and who knows what happens when you start shrinking it significantly. Certainly, you're going to have fewer people available to work on and solve problems that a larger cohort of people left us with. What makes anyone sure that, on balance, it's better to have less people? If climate science is complex, real-time understanding of the econo-socio-political dynamics of our population on the climate is hopelessly complex.
I love to see into great minds.. a great mind to me is someone who keeps digging for truths until they are backed with the knowing to express improperly misunderstood aspects clearly.. which I find many of those great minds in your podcast. Keep it up Lex 🔥🔥🔥
I grew up with my grandpa looking for cool stones. I really like how he finds the appreciation in things that we walk by everyday. I will keep my stone collection until the day I die bc the memories associated with them are forever.
A beautiful sentiment.

This conversation was so pleasant 🥲 thank you Lex and Robert ❤
I love you lex. You have such a wonderful humanitarian patriotism and also a passion for intelligence and curious exploration. I genuinely appreciate your efforts to interview awesome people from every niche
Nothing like a good conversation between intelligent people.
32:52 Watch JRE #1757 and come to your own conclusion. But here is mine (as I remember it): Robert Malone makes a good case that he is an expert and a pioneer in the field he is talking about. Then the disease gets him pretty bad, he gets over it, thinking that he doesn’t have the long form, then he takes the shot, then he develops the long form. - And now he starts to think a lot and make his own theories. - Who would not have done the same? He is equipped to make theories, as this is his profession, and his fate was that his own health was getting affected very badly, which puts him under great pressure to come to terms with that, and so he starts tracing back his steps and looking where he has gone wrong.
Wether or not his theories are true, his fate is a great tragical story worth telling, and if your own life takes a bad turn, of course you try to make sense and retrace your steps, and maybe even start preaching to others, if you think you are on the right track, and everyone else has it wrong. It only adds to the overall tragedy that he now is perceived as just adding ammunition to the “wrong” camp, because everybody has already made up their mind. This man is still a scientist on the search for truth, who now happens to have some unwanted (possibly biasing) personal motivation to do so. - Banning Joe Rogan for letting him tell his story would be a great disgrace.
By the way: when JRE 1757 was put online, I already gladly had my third vaccination. This story is still interesting in hindsight. It had no impact whatsoever on me personally, and I think by that time everybody had already made up their mind anyway. This will be a Streisand effect for JRE!
Great episode
Amazing conversation Lex. Both you and your guest covered topics I didn’t know even existed (ball lightning!). Thank you for what you do
What a voice! Robert, you need a podcast.
Love your channel man! Keeps my imagination running🚀
This guy started out so well…then sold his soul to the machine…sad
I think he started off bad, then ended better.
There are 7.5 billion humans of which 2 billion are old ladies. Far too many, leading to mass extinction.
Nazism reduced the world population, it is noble.
Whatever way it happens, and it must happen, there will be war, criticism and complaints.
He's always been part of the establishment. He was born and raised in it. He's a Nazi too.
?
Scary to to think there are a lot of people out there like this guy, and they don't even care if you know it. And, liberals wonder why so many of us own firearms.
@35minutes, when he cites the NYTs and other legacy media as responsible, it occurs to me , they lie on the regular.
Sending love Lex, I know it must be a difficult and nervous time for you and your ethnic community. I’m Irish from the the occupied counties of Ireland so I understand the weird feeling you must be feeling right now. You are much loved brother and you are a fantastic ambassador of your people
Good to see you Lex 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
In the United States, cardiovascular disease kills more people than cigarettes - indeed more people than any other cause. The difference is that it's harder to fix the blame for deaths due to cardiovascular disease on corporate executives and corporations.
Lex, I love your podcast and your strive for goodness.
Having said that, I think that when you discuss the fact that scientists had all kinds of incentives to stand by evil, it's helpful to also look at yourself on the issue of Rogan: You and Michael Malice had this discussion about the fact that as friends you should not criticize Rogan publicly (at least that is more or less what Malice said).
Here in this podcast, you also seem to speak against the censorship of Rogan's podcast, using smilingly objective arguments, while actually it is clear you are also motivated by your friendship with Rogan (since as Malice said, this friendship dictates that you'll not criticize him publicly, so at the moment you decide to open your mouth and speak publicly about this issue , you are left with one option - defending him, by doing so you are using your own huge platform in order to serve a personal goal).
Here you have a good demonstration of the problem you presented with these scientists: You have an incentive (which is your friendship with Rogan) to use your resources(your platform) in order to do something that might be harmful and bad( might be not either, but this is not the point here).

I made similar observations… not as succinctly though. Lex is awesome but he loses his way during this interview if you follow closely. I think Lex has become friends w so many people that it becomes harder to be detached and dispassionate for truths sake. Bottom line: the speaker finds the cigarette industry and their paid off schil scientists to be the most evil, not Hitler or Faucci. This speaker needs a boot up his …
@@brookeclifford7779 Yes, this really starts to baffle me. All these Joe-Rogans and people with their own "science" aren´t a threat or danger to the "real science" i.e. trying to work under the scientific method (not that any of those critics really would seek information. They just parrot the same stupid "critical questions or whatever stupid pseudo facts" as if it would grow in its factness the more stupid sheep believe it.)
We dont have to prove that the world is actually round, let them show us even 1 foto of the f%cking end of the world and Im convinced. But that shows how the actual topic doesnt matter and so its easy to switch from "covid doesnt exist" to "covid is like a flu" while parallel dramatizing the idea that this non existing, non dangerous desease may come from a chinese Labor.
I'm watching this podcast to expand my understanding of all the opinions voiced on the ideological aspects that so often becomes intertwined within all fields of human nature .
Interesting discussion as always.
One of your most interesting episode yet Lex, keep being you dude 👊🏻
Robert really didn't like commenting on Fauci. I suppose his lack of an answer spoke more than anything he could have said.
Valid point. Give him the benefit of the doubt; maybe he isn't into personal attacks.

It’d also be interesting to hear more about their plans with regards to anti-money laundering and crypto-currency, as well as how they plan to protect the West’s supply chains/utility companies. So much to learn during this strange time and thanks for all your work!🙏
My friend, it's times of peace that are the strange times. Sadly, the times we are living in today are simply a reversion to the mean. So let us all be strange, for that is humanity's only hope.
Answer to censorship question was complete gobbledygook, 'yeah, the tech companies should be congratulated for combating misinformation'. - What? This guy just says a lot of words.
Another illuminating chat about things not easy to discuss keep it up!
I thought Robert Proctor was an historian, now he's a climate scientist? I guess they can't prevent themselves. Aaah, with some people it's hopeless.
nod.
I hear ya. Everyone is an expert on everything now.
This Proctor pod with Lex is super interesting. it illuminates C19, the rise of the 3rd Reich (think: Annie Jacobsen's "Operation Paperclip"), and perhaps most, the rise of the Bernaysian world we live in, from politicized "health & welfare" to the military industrial complex. one of the best pods in recent memory
Super smart comment
Is Robert Proctor in any way connected with the WEF (World Economic Forum)?
I propose a solution to the issue of our "over population" problem...as soon as you retire from the workforce and are no longer a valuable member of society we just off you? Nobody over 65yrs old would be wonderful for the medical sector, free up land for future generations and most importantly get rid of the old people to allow the next generation to have the opportunities that would otherwise be held tightly by the old guard.
Or a simple physical fitness evaluation...if you can't do a pull up to help yourself out of a sticky situation like avoiding a dog over a fence) than perhaps you aren't worth being here using up resources?
People like Proctor and Gates would be right on the top of my list to put on a raft and push out to sea "à la vikings"🤙
But nobody wants to think further than their own nose in terms of planning. You are very correct and as a whole society seems to be fine with it in the name of saving the species🤪
@@coryernewein Judging by your PFP Cory... I did Nazi that coming.
Hope when you're physically injured for any length of time or, for any reason, wane away from peak Aryan physical perfection... I hope you're the first to take your own advice and free up resources for the "worthy".
@@bootstraphan6204 ouch on behalf of the good hearted folks of German decent hahahaha I'm sorry for making a hyperbolic joke, I really have no intention of seeing anyone "left out to dry" so to speak. I do not see an overpopulation issue just a land use issue (lawns are ridiculous, everyone should have some form of a garden, even just a window sill planter for salad greens not to mention community gardens for apartments or townhouse complexes), with thatbsaid though if the people who proclaim there is a problem should be the first to go as a show of their commitment to the cause instead of maligning the populace with garbage food and and ideas.
Lex: I don’t like ego, especially in Fauci.
Also Lex: great leaders like Putin have great egos.
Putin is fighting corrupt science
whats killing women and children indiscriminately got to do with science.
@@angelamonk716 ?
Great men are not always good men.
Having Ego and being capable of acting on it is different from just having it and blocking others differing opinions that prove you wrong(bad way to convey, but it is what it is)
Another GREAT podcast 🙏
"You can lose a battle, but win a war if you're doing the right thing." on getting Phillip Morris out of Stanford med school. Speaks to the power of the press.
absolutely amazing to me that this guy thinks smoking is commonplace in our movies and tv, very very odd
Depends on the show, plenty of shows have it constantly, while others never once in any broadcasted or streamable minute.
As much as I like the show, this episode irritated me when you mention Robert Malone....you act like hes just some guy throwing shit at the wall and making waves, you FAIL to explain he is the guy who INVNTED Mrna vaccines.
I had this guest figured out when he either deflected or couldn’t give any insight into the complex questions around covid science/tech. He’s wise but there are obvious boundaries, very unfortunate. He doesn’t question authority enough.
Right. He was very clearly afraid for personal or social reasons to draw any conclusions that may go against the status quo, even though his study of nazi scientists should give him direct insite into these types of issues. Thank god their are people like lex who are afraid to question nothing no matter consequences
What a fascinating talk! Thank you so much for recording it.
Brilliant! Now, is there any chance you could interview an expert on the topic of critical thinking, or the lack thereof, in American society?
Sounds like you should be the expert on that
This guest is highly lacking in critical thinking.
hahaha yes
Light but nuanced discussion of both rights and responsibilities of free speech and the distinction of speech and publishing. Too often ego claims ignorance to appear humble when anything contrary to prior held beliefs appear in an attempt to avoid critical thought. Presenting contrary opinion uncritically is just avoidance of responsibility and ignoring criticism is doctrine, not thought.
Absolutely incredible podcast. Thank you Lex
Drinking game idea:
Have a shot every time Lex is asking a question.
Love you dude, keep it up, and thank you for all these great interviews.
Love this show Lex! Thank you
beautifully spoken intro lex
Science alone can never *lead* us. Science cannot derive "its own" values! Science has to be led by an overarching belief system of some sort. What that overarching belief system is, will be something we all have to sit down and think about, discuss, and then accept. Christianity perhaps. Perhaps some other.
