Full podcast episode: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hL6FkrBllZmUnnk.html Lex Fridman podcast channel: kzfaq.info Guest bio: Betül Kaçar is an astrobiologist at University of Wisconsin.

These two are like a real-life Vulcan couple. Absolutely fascinating.

Could you imagine if they had a baby, we'd have warp drives in less than 20 years.

This is the literal female version of Lex talking to him. Lex, stop acting so weird, this is your female doppelgänger. Ask her to marry you immediately

Lex, bro, she’s the one. Make the move, there’s a good “chemistry “ with her. Spend more time with her and see what happens

Lex : Are you a carbon sample? Because I want to date you Her : You must be made of uranium and iodine because all I can see is U and I together

It’s like watching two people on a date. These two go together 😮

I’ve never seen Lex so flirty.

Lex... According to her wikipedia page, she is not married. Do with this info what you'd like.

i posted my comment before i looked into the comments and wow everybody sees it. 3:01 the smile and the minute lex says ok her eyes snap back to him so fast.

Credit to Lex because if I found my soulmate i wouldn’t be able to concentrate

The more podcasts of Lex’s I watch, the more I see a very sensitive soul that you just want to give him a hug. Existential issues are always an undercurrent. Not what expected when I found his podcasts. I find his mannerisms unique. Sweet man.

Hilarious how Lex clips are half hr long

Man, Lex is smitten.

You can tell lex is lowkey flabbergasted by her beauty😂

She likes you, Lex. And she has your sense of humor!

Fascinating points of view regarding life in general. This conversation reminds me of some of the best dates I have ever had, where you realize by the end that you are helplessly falling in love. I hope you both keep in touch... and have a happy new year!

We just watched 2 people fall in love. If your future kid accidentally sets fire to the living room floor, go easy on him.

Lex is falling during his pod. Cant blame him though. That aside thank you for a great year of great conversations.

I think the scientific community would agree that these two have a genetic responsibility to breed together. Go for it Lex! Your voice makes her brain wet.

My 2023 resolution is to see some chemical alignment between these 2 🙏🏽

Lex we need to focus on coming together and making this world a better place before we worry about seeding other planets

@1:44 was the perfect opportunity for Lex to interrupt her and say "... Yes... Chemistry IS Chemistry...." and just look into her eyes.👁️👄👁️😏 Cmon Lex!!! 😤😤😂

I hope Joe helps get these two together, Lex might need a push.

I think there’s a chemistry joke in here, somewhere. Maybe the comment section picked up on that subtlety…

- Lots of chemistry between the two while talking about chemistry 😛 - Lex, there will be a lot of opportunities at the crossroads of AI and future chemistry/genetics... - Yes, life complexity is unstoppable once it boots. If there is intelligent life out there, it is also pushing the limits (increasing complexity, spreading etc)

Waawwww she is amazing.....Lex is an unstoppable force...he just gets better and better.

As soon as she mentioned microbes she won me over

She is MARRIED to a Mr Adam stop this banter this is going to make these two uncomfortable

Lex what a brilliant point on the suffering stance!

This felt like a pingtrip video. I was waiting for lex to make some goofy move on her

Holy shit they want each other HARD and if no one sees that then you need a CT scan

Statistically, there must be life out there.

A while ago Lex interviewed an astrophysicist named Alex Filippenko who said most likely life is extremely rare in the universe and we're probably alone. So who is right?

What if aliens are microscopic 😮

"If you don't like microbes you are on the wrong planet" Isn't this the plot for War of the Worlds?

I think there is chemistry between you two

Lex, are you going to put the Max Wilkinson interview back up? I never got to see it.

This what happens when you put 2 beautiful minds together.

Nature abhors 1- offs. Considering the sheer scale of the universe it’s nearly impossible we are alone. Much more likely is the question of how close by. Life arose on earth as soon as conditions allowed. Assuming this is normal, we just need to look for conditions.

hey lex! you should release a book/zine of the cream of the crop quotes. please include “that’s an interesting solution to a chemistry problem” and “we are individuals with engineering opportunities”. maybe then include real life examples relating to the past and actionable steps relating to the individual and the future laid out before them.

This is the best Lex comment stream ever

Everyone saying lex needs to wife her up stop it. 😂 Him being single still gives me hope 😅

I bet Lex took a few shots of vodka before this, he's being a bit loose and silly. It's great.

So here's my own question. Say that we leave earth, all of us, each and every single living human being, we all go off to another far away planet. We leave behind all the plants and animals. What is the likelihood that 500 million years later, we come back and find humans on earth?

I have NO idea who she is but you can’t draw up a more perfect Mrs. Lex. He is CLEARLY taken with her. You better have shot your shot bro.

Man, I'm smiling ear to ear over here feeling these vibes. I pray this develops 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

Infinite forms of life in this little rock called earth, imagine what lies out there

So the Cs Ss and Ws are replaced with Zs and Vs and it's cool I like it

Humans still don’t understand that they were made in the image of God?

I really, really am honored to see deep in your psyche Lex, you won me over… I didn’t want to like you… I love it… Lex, you nailed it… The clue to suffering that I first noticed in person, it penetrated my “senses” so deeply, I put it to the test in the jungles of Costa Rica… I used to live up the road from Dominical, where all the hippies go… Hahaha… I walked through the jungle every day, scared of snakes of course (hahaha), but what I noticed is, for the monkeys at least (I’m the Rocky Mountain Psychedelic Monk, Dr. Quantum, The Vortex Master, 72x1728= 124416 (396) Quantum Anagrams is my cup of tea) sorry for the tangent arc… anywho- there was hardly “any” fruit trees in the jungles… People cut them down and grew teak trees for building… I planted 50 banana trees, 60 avocado, and serveral other fruits for health… Monkeys began to show up on my property… Of course I got identity thefted by the person I bought the property from and my 9-year old Belgian Malinois PTSD dog (Afghanistan War Vet 98-09) was stolen- same person) so yeah Suffering is done on purpose… I feel like we are being manipulated sometimes by outside forces, I put it to the test… Ever sit at a red light for 3 minutes while all the other traffic lights change?… Hahaha… I’m telling you this one thing Lex… Not one mother f@cker cares… It’s “disgraceful”… I could tell you stories that would peel your skin off… I was a counselor in juvenile Justice in IJJJ (Illinois Dept of Juvenile Justice)… I’m retired, 22-years) 4 years active duty Navy, a couple years in IL Armu NG, 11b, one deployment to Afghanistan… Yeah- it’s f@ckin’ weird… Seriously, Everyone who you have ever imagined Ned that would help you… Snoooooooreeeeeeee… No, not a f@cking chance… Hahaha I laugh about it now… I had a nervous breakdown back on X-mas eve 2011… Then, as a result of the nervous breakdown (PTSD from oef 98-09) I triggered a dormant schizophrenic gene that I didn’t know I had… You know why? Because I not only didn’t have a Dad, I didn’t know anything about my dads side of the family… Who had a rough childhood? My brothers…? Why because my mom always went to bingo and the babysitter molested them, 17-year old male… Really…! My mom had 6 boys, one died in the womb when I was in her belly…? Suffering… Really! Then we lived In a 2-bedroom house, single mom, 5 boys… everyone different dads except the twins, my mom was again… Twins! I’m into energy… Trust me… Have you ever met anyone who brought themselves out of a psychosis?… Now you have… I studied Cavitation… 100% Victory… I was in a a psychosis for over 4 1/2 years… I didn’t talk to “1” person, other than the nut Dr… and staff… Hahaha… Made me the toughest mother f@cker on earth… PS: I studied Electrical Theory and actually every theory… for the most part… Then one day I had the lucid dream of the Hydro-Magnetic Universe Manifesting out of Ripples… That was 20012… My Numbers create “kernels”… I mean “Computation” itself… After I got bored with electrical theory, I studied Vedic Meditation and found Vortex Math… Moby “DICK” for the Win! The implosion based Electric Vortex Circuit for the Win! Did I mention I De-Coded” the Swastika… See my Facebook profile pic and cover… my page is public if you want to see how entanglement works… My Numbers make EVERYTHING from a 64 Digit Eternal Fractal of perfection… 3:6:9 Harmonics… PS: Lex! Don’t you ever put your head down again when people suffer… Give them encouragement! I’m serious… I was lost, yet I have been Found! I used to live up at Dream Canyon up the Mountain from Boulder, off of Fallen Angel road… “Consciousness” is Everything, connected via hydro-magnetic Sonoluminescence in the atmosphere… I love all the magnificence of life and I know you do to Lex, so please do me a favor and don’t ever be sad agaiin concerning suffering… Enbrace the Suck! It’s not for everyone but it is for people like you and me, we “Care”… The “8th” Hermetic Principle… It Is So! Have a great life… Go Scuba diving…

Bobby Azarian would be a great guest to have on for this!!!

These two would make a good couple.

I hate when people say we as people create a child we can’t create another human or life form . We definitely can carry it

Better description of who is talking please

I would never tell lex to ponder the idea of pursuing a relationship with this beauty because I want one instead

Seeding a planet with life... anyone else remembering the genesis device from Star Trek II?

the question he missed is> is life the same elsewhere

aye yo, respectfully this woman was digging lex. i know you are a busy guy but if you arent with any one. take her to dinner.

Damm it would be nice if Lex could marry this woman; she’s smart enough to keep him on his toes

Emotions make people feel that there must be other life out there, but until we discover another life bearing planet there is literally no basis for that case

Lex would u let the poor lady talk stop interrupting.

suffering is 1 of the winding pathways to dignity

Maybe the reason more advanced aliens don't contact us (except unintentionally) is ignorance is bliss. It certainly was for those erased by a more powerful societies.

Only two types people are Alien. 1 are highly positive. 2 are highly negative. Others are divided mind people 😀 Highly positive people knows that highly Negitive people have the journey of 5 dimensions. But the highly positive people have the journey of 8 daimentions and I don't know that why they don't like each other 😀

Lex is crushing

do love this conversation, am still not finished with the video, but here i wanted to suggested an alternative scenario: we know that a living body needs a conscious to STAY alive, which does imply to me, that conscious is primary. now why do we always assume that life can only emerge or exist on a planetary body, why is it seemingly not possible for us to think outside that box? what if consciousness exists also in particle clouds that exist on a level of energy exchange between its parts? and what if biology only exists/arises to create bodies suitable for a specific chemical environment/planet? so a consciousness can inhabit it to experience this form of living? just a thought that came to me while listening to Your arguments, love this talk.

If you consider that everything is everything expressed in a different way Then by examining how human behaviour involved in trends ,even manufacturing and consumer trends For example you can see how seperate processes merge and exhibit as we are expressed now This is a principle expressed everywhere Including energetically

Lex I love your concern for life suffering, but suffering is a natural consequence of being identified with and self-reflecting on our desire to live. Suffering only comes from being self-conscious, but pain is felt by any organism. The fundamental desire to live, thrive, and reproduce is inherently painful. But life is obviously worth the pain, otherwise life would just give up on living.

one day in the future all those scientists will face ridicule under the discovery that life is everywhere(Multicellular)

Neutrinos scan everything - the little fish conspires with the universe as food for the bigger. In the data cloud realm the little fish gains stature.

Some might be close to each other. But we are in the middle of nowhere.

All the planets out their want to have life but they can't because they're covered in a thin white t-shirt. All we have to do is spray lots of water on them and we'll get to see all the beautiful, voluptuous, life...jiggling in slow motion. (Olympus Mons poking through clouds)

Them: conversation Everyone in the comments: SEX

I ship these two so hard

Dude I literally checked to the comments to see if the rest of you guys seeing what I’m seeing 😂

Everyone clearly sees the chemistry 🥰

There are gazillions of Goldilocks zones and planets inside them out there.

Dude, Lex, ask her out for a milkshake

Worst case scenario would be creating a Xenomorph. Ask the Engineers.

She is the Amy to your Sheldon.

This is why we need to get a probe beneath the ice on Europa to look around in that huge ocean. Finding life there will mean that life is very probable and likely in the universe and can potentially be everywhere. If we find zero life forms or bacteria, it will lean towards the scenario that life is extremely rare in the universe and our planet is very unique and specific conditions need to exist in order for life to evolve.

Thank you lex from new Zealand

serious question here. What would Earth as we know it now appear to another planet looking at Earth from 25 or so light years away with our current technology? Would we detect?

The spinning around eyes closed was a no no hahahah

Why these two aren't dating is beyond me

Ask her out Lex!

Your consequence in looking for the God touches in human incomplete understanding of science is admirable. I love it.

I believe she means we need "Faith", optimism is slightly different. Been listening to more Jordan Peterson lately and his commentary on psychological processes and faith are extremely compelling

I'm here staying in house I'm not talking anybody only my family.and watching podcast.

Well you can’t really make that statement unless you been allover the universe….

She is as beautiful as she is intelligent. I nominate her to replace Neil Tyson for the next series of Cosmos.

we've officially come full circle

Lex is spot on in my opinion.

The universe is full of life but perhaps one in hundred develop into space age.

How same are our perspective as an human we all want them 2b1

Perhaps that’s what happened to our planet, maybe we’re supposed to help another planet form life, and spread the love…

Why are chemicals always scheming to jump-start life? Why does physics encourage the nature of life-bearing characteristics?
