Update 3 days later: This has seriously got to be my favorite and MOST INSPIRING LEX INTERVIEW YET! For one thing, I have to keep pausing to ponder. Not science thoughts- but thoughts of philosophy and what could be a widely shared mindset by a majority of humans! I feel this Love coming from math and science and even am writing a book about how math is the universe’s love note to humanity. In my story It is a parental love, but you and Neri have more of a romantic take of the universe and the tools it lays at our feet and what we are supposed to be doing with these tools. It is positively a first crush , an intoxicating infatuation, and i am marveling at it and feel at once vindicated and inspired! I am gobsmacked by the clarity in this science messaging displayed by Neri Oxman. ( And Lex, you get it and in my humble opinion , always have.) It all leads back to love. But, Neri is trying her best to elevate us to a loving state ( vs violent, vs greedy state!) by thinking, thinking, and more thinking. I hear her, and i hear you too Lex. Many of us do. And , these ideas will spread…. But, to take a page from this interview, quite slowly maybe on a plant 🪴 time scale. I am learning so much. I have an hour left to still savor……( 🙏 thank you) Original comment : Yes! Been waiting ! She is one of my muses! Let’s go Neri and thank you Lex🙏 ( oh my gosh and i am sure an inspiration for many many and now- ( yay Lex!) many more.

She is a fraud. Even the students at MIT don't like her. She is not nice to the undegraduate women who work with her either. She is cosplaying as a scientist and engineer. If you know science and engineering? Nothing she says makes sense. It's double speak This is a shame because MIT has other beautiful female professors actually in engineering and science departments. She got her PhD because her godfather was her advisor. She isn't even well-liked in her home department where she got her PhD. They knew she was a nepo baby. And let's not forget the Epstein connection. Lex was probably encouraged to do this because Bill Ackman (her husband) runs in these tech circles. She also has her students ideate and do the work for her. She is not hands on doing the work. Look at her students' theses. Go to MIT and find out for yourself. You can ask around. This is a "never meet your heroes" situation.

She is a great role model for me. I am a woman in STEM(31 non traditional I have other degrees, lowly) and she is so inspiring in so many ways that I can not even express the narrative. She maintains her given beauty and then goes beyond all physical standards to represent her mind. The 1:46:35 second derivative, or tertiary(or quaternary) makes all the sense for what she says.

I think of it as accessing this additional dimension of surface area that could be used for good or bad to connect, to communicate, to collaborate." "My father taught me everything I know.

Trying to build on Neri's thoughts about imperfection as creating a context for vulnerability: One of the great features of our universe is the realization that we are part of something greater, but we are also _invited_ to take steps in that direction -- to go from being more isolated, to more connected as part of that greater something. One of the most profound ways we do that is through relationship, especially intimate relationship. In that context of being integrated with another person as a new whole, if that is going to be done in the most effective way, there needs to be appropriate vulnerability -- to be able to see and understand not only the self, but the other, not only only the light but also the imperfection and shadow.

I love how, at 1:33:45, she talked about fire as the first technology and as one of the first things that brought humans together in a community. It emerged from vulnerability and the desire to stay warm. This also reminded me of the story of anthropologist Margaret Mead, who said that one of the first signs of civilization was a healed femur. That, too, came from a place of vulnerability that motivated one human to help another. I think it ties in nicely with Neri's idea that love is a driving force in the world. I also believe that, especially considering the femur story, love and care ensured the survival of a species. It all began with that particular human with the broken femur being saved, which may have eventually led to our entire species surviving as a result of the decision made by a human who helped, only to have that lesson passed down from generation to generation.

I am stumped! The beauty and elegance she speaks with is unsurpassed! I was riveted from the start. Mind blowing stuff. This will take a lot of time for me to unpack, but I feel I might need to jump horses here from the heady theoretical physics(the crap I thought I really liked) to everything she just glossed over. What a tremendous human being! I think I just re-set my moral compass a bit! I’m just blown away! … Wow! Thank you both! Cheers!

In 2018, Ackman became engaged to Neri Oxman. In January 2019, Oxman and Ackman married at the Central Synagogue in Manhattan, and they had their first child together in spring 2019. In August 2019, Ackman wrote to MIT to discourage them from revealing the $125,000 donation that financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein made to Oxman's lab.

The architect Paolo Soleri (back in the 70s) introduced an architecture he called 'Arcology' which was meant to conserve water, reduce waste, minimize use of energy, maximize human interaction, and create a more 'ecological' relationship with the environment. He built a city called Arcosanti in Arizona as a working model of this idea. Unfortunately it never progressed further than that (the Paolo Soleri Amphitheater is actually slated for demolition). Neri Oxman's ideas are fresh and exciting and introduce synthetic biology and digital fabrication into the mix. I sincerely hope her ideas catch fire and inspire a genration of young designers, builders, and eventually the public at large. I have lived long enough to see many inspiring designers and thinkers burst onto the scene and then, after several years of struggle, disappear making zero real impact on our world. I pray this isn't the case here.
