Love your podcasts Lawrence! Your talks with Richard Dawkins profoundly changed the way I viewed the world and has made my college experience that much more exciting
The big close up on his calm face (quite an accomplishment for such an often agitated type guy) with the open shirt and neatly trimmed beard, following the calming music..and hand motions as he articulates his introduction. I'm sure that really did a number on you and convinced you. Super fake though. And starts with something easy for listeners like the person's early life, trying to engage them .. not great thing to do with academic intellectual types but that's what they tell people to do for social skills. Stephen Greenblatt seems to be an interesting guy though.. Not sure how well his book stands up, hard to know.
Really enjoying these podcasts...I wish I had access to this kind interaction within my circle of acquaintance. Sadly, most are concerned with holidays, house prices etc.
A tonic for the self-searching and self- questioning mind. Lawrence and Stephen bounced doubts and ideas off each other while scattering seeds that will germinate elsewhere. Hats off to Stephen for quoting lines from Fulke Greville off the top of his head.
Yes to the videos. I has stopped watching the podcasts because I wanted to see the people talking. Now I’m back.

I am so exited about discovering Lucretius, that I wished that I had someone to share him with. I am going to follow him as far as I can take him. This is so exiting, really it's like wonderful candy for me. There is so much to learn and I'm quickly running out of time. Thank you both for an unforgettable evening.
Great discussion....Lawrence you might consider a segue into epicureanism with Catherine Wilson, which would include more on Lucretius and atomism. Also a good bookend to the rise of stoicism, both of which are welcome.
I read the Swerve by Stephen Greenblat, it was an amazing book. Very glad that Lawrence Krauss invited him here. I hope he will invite Robert Greene (his machiavellian insight might illuminate the political discussion in a different way). and of course, Yuval Noah Harari would be an amazing guest.
A great man! Bring him back, maybe with Daniel C. Dennett, to talk about Julian Jaynes, Both Stephen and Daniel being of age, maybe they would dare breach or even scratch the subject ! ? HD
It's an odd phenomena that speculation of the unknown is often viewed as more worthy than actually knowing. We want to explore mystery but we don't like it when we solve that mystery because we were enjoying the unknown. 'What is it?' is more pleasurable than the answer. It's a bit like the ending of the TV show Lost. We all made up crazy, magical stories to explain things and then it was just 'Oh, it's that'. I give the Human story three stars on IMDb, disappointing ending... Spoiler alert, turns out they were all apes imagining things.
Thanks! Let's not be amazed about lies. In some instances, as with Trump, many of his supporters do not care that he lies -- even as much as he does -- because they like one or more other things he does and it takes too long for them to learn he is hurting them in one way or another. The rich, to take just one example, will take his lies for a very long time because he increases their riches, even though it's at the expense of the bottom 80 or 90 percent of the people. He's rewarding their selfishness.
What you have basically said is that humans are so contemptible that it does not matter what happens to them. I hope it is not the case, but if it is, may they get what they deserve.
Newton was good enough to get us to the moon. But we need Einstein as well for GPS to function. . . Einstein didn’t disprove Newton. . . Newton is a special case, “good enough for Government Work” 😀
*I just felt it would've been a lot better if both wore a shirt mic(also called "Collar Mic", available wireless too) instead of sitting infront of that huge-@$$ mic set!!* also, collar mics have the advantage of not getting in your face, allows participants to look face-to-face while conversing, that way it won't interrupt the discussion/podcast..

This is a really profound session. Stephen has tons of historical insight and I very much enjoyed this interaction.
Another thoughtful discussion, I look forward to DR. Krauss's discussion sessions eagerly, unlike anyone else out there in our confusing time.
Fascinating and entertaining, from start to finish. Thank you Prof Krauss. 🤘

Thank you for introducing me to this man.
I'm getting his books now.

I’m holidaying in the Alps at the moment.
Just bought a house for a pretty decent price too.
Get better friends.

No you don’t. Lawrence Krause is an abuser of women. Just google his name.
The Watcher You believe everything you read on Google? Dumb.

Thank you, Lawrence Krauss (& team) and Stephen Greenblatt, for this magnificent feast for the mind.
Thank you mr Krauss for changing my view of the world and universe
Fascinating, thanks so much for this one.
So glad videos are added here now. It just brings so much more to the podcast.

This was really f@!%ing awesome. What a great guy. Have to check out his books

Thanks, Lawrence!
Fantastic Lawrence thank you

Best podcast. Thank you
That moment when you stumble upon a discussion with the author of a book you just happed to read. And now on to ordering The Rise and Fall.
wow, just wow. I have loved each of these dialogues I have seen so far, but this one . . . fucking wow.
Wonderful to be surrounded by such amazing people. And humour.😢❤😅
Lawrence: Dan Schrag, Penn Jillette, Stephen Greenblatt, Martin rees. Alan Stern. So grateful.
A great man! Bring him back, maybe with Daniel C. Dennett, to talk about Julian Jaynes, Both Stephen and Daniel being of age, maybe they would dare breach or even scratch the subject ! ?

Lawrence, you need to talk less, expound less, ask more questions and let Stephen talk
would agree
I'll love to see Lawrence on the lex fridman podcast...
make it happen !!!

Why do they wait until uni when the kids would enjoy the alternative

The difference between science and religion is purely institutional. Hope this helps!
