Don't listen to this podcast if you wish to remain inside the apparent comfort of your existing ideas and worldview. Bualadh bos 👏👏👏 for sharing these dangerous socialist leftist ideas

Like many good things, Lex is an acquired taste. His style and presentation are unlike anything I’ve heard before, and I can see why some people don’t love it. I like that he doesn’t impose his agenda or views on his guests, rather he just tees up an interesting question and lets them roll. Pretty cool. I just listened to the Vejas Liulevicius, which was fascinating! It’s so great to listen to someone who a) really knows his topic, and b) knows how to speak about it in a coherent manner.

Love how Lex brings on people with different specialities. I always wanted to improve my general knowledge about fields outside my expertise and finding this podcast has tremendously helped with that. Thank you Lex.

Thank you for bringing this brilliant and ambitious man on your show. He is such an important voice our time.

Hello! Thank you for having Trump on and not giving in to The mainstream media and looking into things yourself. We need to talk to each and not feel so threatened. I’m a republican and I can’t talk to people because they won’t sit down and have a reasonable conversation. I hope to try the news organization that you suggested. I’m looking for facts and I can make up my own mind. I don’t need the media to do it for me.

Lex is a master of highly accessible deep-dives delving into a range of complex topics. He effortlessly manages to blend and balance tech, philosophy, the future, AI/ML, and the human condition. And yes, occasionally politics. He is intelligent and well-spoken. He is knowledgeable and his curiosity and thirst for knowledge shine through each episode. With a placid, calming demeanor and universal respect for guests, many discussions turn introspective and “real”. Check out the show if you enjoy picking apart cutting-edge tech while pondering the meaning of life. As for the title of my review. I’m disheartened by the number of reviewers airing personal grievances against Trump, thinly disguised behind grossly unfounded criticism against Lex Fridman. Consider the amount of time spent each day that you allow Trump, Biden, Kamala, whoever, to seep into your thoughts, fears, hopes, worries, and actions. C’mon, you are better than that! Redirect the time into anything constructive. Start a new hobby. Help a neighbor. Decide to be the agent of change for good instead of waiting on someone else to do it. It definitely took me too long to figure it out and let go. And for goodness sake, stop ripping poor Lex a new one 😅🤣

I just love this podcast. Lex is respectful and I really get to know the guests due to the long interview style with the right questions asked.

After reading other reviews, I've noticed that some people who dislike this podcast seem to do so because they can't find the drama they're looking for. Personally, I appreciate the diverse perspectives in this podcast, even if some are more useful than others. I find it to be a peaceful and insightful listen for those who have patience and genuinely seek knowledge from the human experience. Thank you, Lex.

At 19:05 -19:22 So all those hundreds of J6 people in jail that he lied to are there because of his lies. So sad.

Lex has the right questions for the right guest. Unlike Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman does ask the correct questions and that makes the podcast interesting. Also, it helps to remember that Lex Fridman’s guests are amazing

I recently listened to the podcast episode featuring Cenk Uygur. While I don’t agree with Lex’s political perspective and find some of his views to lean toward misogyny, I do appreciate his ability to host guests he seemingly disagrees with and still give them the space to express themselves. One thing I value is that, despite my reservations, Lex remains fairly neutral in his interviews, and it’s often hard to pinpoint his own views, which allows for a more open and balanced conversation.

Why don’t people talk anymore? How boring it must be to confine your thinking to just one side or another? I don’t have to agree with someone to appreciate learning more about their thought process and gaining their insights into life. Over, and have no clue 68 years there have been plenty of times I have been influenced by people I never expected to impact me. I don’t trust the youth today. They are so shut out to ideas that do not conform to their politics or social stands. It is amazing they can be so strident and ignorant at the same time and have no clue about how dangerously stupid they are.

Don‘t be surprised if an episode here is longer than 3 hours. The record #348 is almost 9(!) hours… It started as a podcast on topics related to AI, but then developed into a much broader set of topics, including but not restricted to religion, politics, various science topics, and martial arts. Lex gets important people to talk with him: Elon Musk, Eric Schmidt, Benjamin Netanyahu, Garry Kasparov, Bjarne Stroustrup, and many more; scientists, politicians, entrepreneurs. Lex succeeds in asking deep and often unexpected questions, from seemingly unrelated angles, but still enlightening the listeners. Pick your episodes, binging 400+ loooong episodes is simply too much. But highly recommended!

Lex is amazing, the platform is irrelevant. Great podcast.

One of the most beautiful, graceful women in the world! And I absolutely loved your clothing line when you had it. Beautiful dresses! Miss shopping for them!

I’ve listened to literally every episode Lex has produced. I have learned more here about life & reality than any other source. Thank you for sharing & be willing to talk to a range of people in and out of your sphere with love. Cheers

Anyone new to podcasts, this is the best place to start. If you’re a centrist, this is likely where you’ll start to regurgitate your opinions from. Nothing but love for the Lex Friedman podcast

Love to Kevin Spacey ❤️

Eye opening episode. Worlds within worlds. Thank you. And the fact that you were out in the Amazon in your signature suit?!?!?

Loved episode with Kevin Spacey. One of my favourite actors! Love from Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Not every one of his podcasts interests me, but I enjoy most of them and the guests

This is an excellent podcast. Lex is such a genuine curious person. Letting the other person speak, possibly even stupid ideas is he point. To people that give one star and then try to tell you you need to moderate better or ask more questions… these are the people that aren’t really here to listen. And I’ve heard plenty of pressing from you in the past. Pushback per se isn’t really the point here. It’s exploiting other people’s ideas. And to the person who complained about 8 minutes of ads and gave it one star… just wait till I tell you about the concept of fast forward. It’s gonna blow your stupid little smooth brain away!

I have learned quite a bit listening to your podcast. Interesting guests and you do a great job interviewing them

Screw these haters, Lex! Your podcast has brought joy and education on a variety of topics into my life for years. The range of guests are interesting and you do a great job at asking through provoking questions that you make understandable to listeners. I hate seeing haters write negative comments - don’t listen to those fools. Keep doing you and spreading your positivity and curiosity throughout the world.
