there's a line from one of the marcel the shell videos that always comes to mind, esp in the current cultural and political discussions which is at the heart of the genghis khan discussion - compared to what? we tend to compare our current situation to an ideal one. that leads to dissatisfaction. we're better off comparing it to how much worse it could be. then we can be happy and enjoy what we have know while we still work on making things even better.

I hope you actually still read the comments, because that´s a trait of people who actually care I think. You are a great guy Lex, like you have so much knowledge and positivity to share. As somebody who reads his comments, too, I can only say you made a good point for it when arguing with Joe. There is something to be gained from community interaction, be it humor, interesting thoughts or discussion and I would love to see things to improve in that direction further. I sometimes get negative comments, too, but also those same people sometimes return, like weeks or months later, to say that I actually changed their mind on things and to say sorry. Interaction leads to improvements, a lack of interaction and immediate feedback leads to stagnation I think.

Yes, I still read comments (in moderation). I appreciate all the love and thoughtful ideas shared. On days when I really have to focus on a difficult task, I don't read comments. I'm writing more and more scripts to help me, and deeply thinking about how the entire system can be improved. One of the reasons I want to read comments is to motivate me to give more power to the voices of the people who deeply care for others and have a longing to connect on genuine human level.

Hmm, I am afraid I fall in the other camp. I was driven to lex because of insights that I never get to hear from joe, because lex can ask second order questions because of his background, eg: like ones from Wolfram. While I do understand that ufo topic will get 10x the views, I am not sure lex should go towards populism because then he won't ask in depth questions because he is not specialized in that field

@pdsm1552 3 жыл бұрын

@@PrashantMaurice As someone who got drawn to his podcast for very similar reasons to you- I have a slightly nuanced view of your point- I think Lex will ask nuanced in depth questions as much as he can. I personally loved this podcast as a JiuJitsu practitioner and competitor, having the opportunity to, for almost 4 hours, hear the thoughts of one of my "heroes" in the sport being interviewed by someone who gets it is an incredible opportunity. I do undertstand the concern that the further Lex strays from his domain of expertise, the less he will be able to ask those poignant questions. However as a physicist, his podcasts with Penrose and Hutchinson give me hope that he can still ask very incisive and thought through questions even outside of his field of expertise. At the end of the day, I enjoy Lex as an interviewer since he does his homework and has notes and gets questions from his audience too- so I should hope that translates to a slightly more populist approach to how the guests get chosen.

Ryan Hall's quote at the end of the interview. Not sure of the source, but wanted to write it down, as the words are very impactful. Live your life so the fear of death can never enter your heart Trouble no one about their religion, trouble no one about their view and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life and beautify all things in your life Seek to make your life long and its purpose to the service of your people Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word, sign or salute when meeting or passing by a friend, even a stranger when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks to the food and for the joy of living If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only within yourself. Abuse no one or no thing, for abuse turns the wise one into fool and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death so that when there time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Congratulations on changing the name of the podcast! Even if Joe recommended you don read the comments, I hope you read this one. There’s a tone of happiness in your voice that I heard once or twice before, but I believe it’s here to stay. Wishing you the best for your future and looking forward to watching grow and to enjoining the conversations with your future guests! I’m very proud of you!

Ryan is a great mind and athlete, so happy to finally see him in a long form interview

I like a lot of podcasters but recently Lex has risen to the top of the list as my new favorite. Solid podcast after solid podcast asks great questions, has empathy, and super insightful. Just showing my appreciation. Your podcasts are consistently terrific.

Ryan should really have a podcast, he's got so much to say, but he would need a co-host able to draw him out of himself. It'd be a huge hit.

Have him on another 10 times because this was an absolutely incredible podcast. I went in expecting to hear about just bjj (which would have been fine) but I did not expect 4 hours of an extremely engaging and philosophical back and fourth that was also easy to follow and understand. Hats off to you gentlemen

This is great, I barely slept and saw everything I wanted to see. The people we’re perfect I think. I’m back home with my family and that makes me so happy. I’ve met my heroes and they were just enough, I hope to see them tomorrow. Their lessons helped me get to find peace. I hope they found that

Lex, the level of eloquence of your speech inspires most, if not all, of your viewers, and it has influenced me to try and perfect my phrasing. I salute you for that. Know that your choice of words, the rhythm, the quite talk, the effort you put into selecting the right wording, and the ”slow” pace - are all perfect. You are great for many reasons, and your style is one of those, so please never be discouraged by those who critique (even they keep coming back), and keep doing all that you do in your own unique and inspiring style.

This guest is great, but he kind of misquoted Musashi, He didn't say the only goal was to win, he said it was to kill. That the only reason to ever parry or block was in order to deliver a killing blow. I really liked that comment though how he said fighting is "studied as a science but expressed as an art" is truly insightful. I'm a special operations operator BTW. Both of these guys are great.

30:00 Lex clearly goes for the polite nod rather than saying something like: “you’re referring to the ‘treaty of Versalles’ being used as political leverage by the Weimar Republic?” which may have made his guest feel silly. Lex is cool 😎

I don't thino Hall was using it as an example of a justified reason for war in an absolute sense... rather as an example of a justification through the "righting" of wrongs which all punitive "justice" runs the risk of entailing.
