Always enlightening. Happy to have a centered ethical podcast to listen to - specially about topics as crucial and hard as these.

Excellent
I’m a new listener and it gives me hope in humanity to know that their are such thoughtful and intelligent humans alive like Lex and his guests. What an enriching gift for the world. I’ve already learned so much and I find myself wishing I could be in the room as a member of the conversations. I appreciate you and your work Lex. I find it interesting how Paul Rosolie refers to the boat that picked him up and brought him out of the jungle when he was suffering from an advanced case of MRSA as a ‘death boat’ maybe for some of the animals on that boat. However for Paul it was his life boat. A beautiful example of the duality of life and existence.

Good interviews
Even though I only listen to the interviews where the subject is interesting to me, I think these are one of the best interviews out there.

I’m not the brightest bulb
in the box. Lex approaches guests, listeners, sponsors and topics from a foundation of love. It’s the one podcast I want my children to absorb.

love it
Incredible that he had Altman and Yudkowsky on consecutive episodes. Two pretty different perspectives on the same topic- was a fantastic listen!

2.5C
Please talk more about the elephant in the room. 2.5C is coming this century and the kids are in despair. And the adults are ignoring this reality with the flashy distractions, including AI, social media, culture wars, political wrangling, entertainment, short term economics. Too big a topic?

Effectiveness
Rogan might be the most “powerful” interviewer in the world, but Lex has got to be the most effective interviewer in the world.

Intellectual Deep Conversations for Everyone!
Lex does an amazing job of finding interesting guests from all professions and all ideologies. One thing all his guests have in common is passion. It is very interesting and educational to listen to a well educated, well spoken person be curious about what the other person finds to be interesting and why they are passionate about their subject.
It’s obvious that Lex spends lots of time prepping for each interview and knowing the right questions to produce good answers. His long-form discussion interviews are among the best in podcast today, in my opinion. Lex asks questions from opposing as well as supporting views —that is what makes his discussions honest and 100% worthwhile the listen. Keep up the awesome work Lex!

I’m Grateful
I’m just happy that there are spaces like this where people can just talk. A space where you’re allowed to fail and be wrong and learn. I just listened to Lex and Sam chat for over four hours and it was so lovely. No one is perfect, but we have to have spaces where we can think out loud, together, honestly.

Favorite
Get the best out of each guest. Lex is wise beyond his years. Thanks for all the effort.
Sam Harris is full of himself.
He was always right about Covid, even when he wax proven wrong. Same with Twitter, Twitter was great when it was censored, but as free speech it’s a waste of his time filled with useless information.

Uncovering cognitive delusions
Thank you for uncovering and pointing out (to us) Sam’s narrow blind spots that can only be qualified as his hidden religiosity.

Destiny Interview
I , at 70 years on this planet, have come to the conclusion that words are fluid and should not be confused with actions. There are words I will not use in the public domain. There are words I know are triggers. But words should not be the sole property of a group because the words are there like a conversation bubble in a comic strip. We should be civil in public interactions and we might connect with a person that might enrich your life. Your words are like doors to people minds, hearts and souls. There are doors meant to the opened and doors meant to remain closed. You are the key.

Always well-prepared and usually interesting
Lex has such a wide range of interests and does a great job interviewing his guests. He is well-prepared and has extensive notes to refer to when interacting with his guests. His guests are usually articulate, and Lex doesn’t pick them for woke or political reasons, which is rare these days.
I like his book summaries particularly as well as his self-discipline.

good will - open mind - highly intelligent
Lex, please pull together your brain trust and help the USA get intelligent, competent leaders. So tired of same old partisan-disrespectful-selfish politics. Recently heard a governor say on national TV that Americans have two political choices, “normal or crazy”. Ugh!!! Help !!!!!! Tough times ahead with wars, environment, aging, poverty/wealth gap - need young minded brilliant people to lead us.
