    The quality of guest Lex gets is of such a high level. I can't remember one that hasn't captivated me. I'm sure Lex asks questions for us as well. He knows the answers but leads the conversation to make it as interesting and informative as possible and creates a platform for the guest to shine sometimes sacrificing his own ego and feigning ignorance on a subject to ensure a great interview. Bravo Lex.

    Konstantin is an excellent guest. He is a multi-faceted expert and a well educated person, including but not limited to science/physics (and more), mathematics and most interesting is how well versed Konstantin is in the humanities. His dialogue towards the end about the importance of not being clone of the high-grades, superior resume and entitled ‘A’ graduates.
    When cancer derailed my career at 57 I had been on my own for 10 years, after a full corporate career. I obtained the title of Senior Executive, as part of the 6 person leadership team that together took the company public into a phenomenal IPO. My peers went to he great schools Harvard, Princeton, Yale. Once at a meeting that included the CEO (Harvard) a very important new client. I was asked where I got my masters degree, I looked up from the conference room table and said, ‘You mean PhD and that I earned at the best school there is for learning how to solve complex problems, ‘The University of La Strada.’
    CEO looked at the new client and said, ‘There is nothing that I would not trust that Peter would accomplish if he said he could. There is no job too difficult or overwhelming. His veracity alone is legendary, all the while juggling infinite balls in the air while doing it.”
    I attribute this to having a full rich life, before I decided I wanted to go from a 37 year old technical writer to partner in one decade. I did it. As Konstantin did as well. You too can do this if you can manage your time and ego. Listening to Lex’s podcast is a great place to start.

The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!

    Konstantin is incredible-- I am so happy to have him in the public realm for science education and storytelling-- seems like such a humble, regular (really, really smart of course) guy who likes to explain his science. Mike Brown had me at Sedna, but Batygan is his own entirely promising media presence.

But for example the woman he interviewed about Life and Alien life said she didn’t think Aliens would travel here because “what’s the point?” & “it would take too long”. It’s that sort of limited thinking I’m talking about. Superior vehicles that travel much much much faster are theoretically and problematically inevitable. its going to become a reality and it will completely shut down that idea down. And what’s the point? There doesn’t need to be a point. That type of technology can teach us more than we understand today about something as simple as gravity. Nothing is concrete in the form of ideas, evolution is forever, with or without us. So nothing should be discounted, and many “scholars” do just that. And that’s what I find illogical.

    Mr Lex, thank you so much for this interesting topic. With every new guest you have on, I make it a point to 'google' them to learn more about them and to understand more about the subject you're discussing. Prof. Batygin is clearly an expert on Planet 9 and astronomy in general. A great discussion. BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR EVEN MORE IS, that you make your videos available for download. This enables me to download it when I have access to Wifi and then to listen to it on long distance road trips. Data is extremely expensive where I live (South Africa) and if I hadn't been able to download your videos I would've likely not been able to listen to you in the first place, or have access to this knowledge you share. So again, thank you! 🇿🇦❤👍
