He should not take for granted what his father did, there are buillions of people wanting to come to us
👇 Part 2 requests
I find your numbers interesting.I'm referring to 20k likes ratio to millions viewing your vids.Organic or a funnel? I find you interesting and kind.Is your youtube channel new? Mistakes arent private, I like that, 100% accountable and responsible for thought deeds and actions! 💯.👍 Energy transition ,true. good1 We are moving ⚛️ ♾️⏳ computational biology replaces ⌛⚡chemistry to digital material science in genome testing innovations.
Chamath and you are what youngsters should look up to be.
The intellectual curiosity and it’s honesty is the highest virtue of mankind. As it goes beyond who we identify ourselves that breaks us apart as much as bring us together.
Just a human to human in it’s fundamental form.
You know you're speaking with an absolute beast when he can effectively steel man both sides of every argument
Nice
Beautiful interview. I cannot imagine how many high achieving individuals resonated with Chamath. I teared up when he talked about the chain of events – the endless chase of achievement and external validation – that led to his final forgiving of his father/family. It mustve been difficult but so freeing. I hope someday I will be able to do the same with my family. Thank you, Lex, for having this conversation.
Smart guy
Starting off with the childhood trauma is such a weird way to structure things, and borders on grotesque
Goat, student and a teacher
hey did anyone catch a podcast chamath mentions, 3 men or somethign like that?
I was so engrossed in this podcast i didn’t even realize how long it was until it was over. These conversations are invaluable and give me hope for our future.
Biden Sucks!!!!!!
Excess electricity should be used for electrolysis of water into hydrogen, then use that for heat and or generation through burning and making steam.
Banger interview 🔥
Chamath is “The Steelman”.
Another great interview.
Thanks Lex
💜
Interesting how Siblings growing up in the same house under the same abuse could be effected totally differently. One can chalk it up as their parents did the best they did under the various social factors, and another can hold resentment and always talk about the past.
😥 I can relate, my mom did not have a good job and I always think about how hard she worked to buy me a pair of shoes, and even though she couldn't afford it she still bought me those shoes. 😭😭😭 just thinking about it makes me cry
Chamath needs to be a reoccurring guest.
You can’t replace wet chemistry with computational biology but I know what he means. It’ll replace probably 90%
Interesting guy but I'm not sure why he is so rabidly anti left, anti media, pro republican and almost pro Trump. He has a podcast, he is very eloquent but his views are quite biased. His story about winning 1 million $ in poker made me cringe, he found a way to self congratulations even on this.
I appreciate a lot of Chamath’s struggles. However, letting Chamath talk about Kanye and his action. Nor are you Lex. Both of you(You and Chamath) are being hypocritical.
Lex should’ve started the Podcast by asking Chamath his thoughts on it(the current headline), while also mentioning that He-Lex- had the chance to talk to him and what they talked about. – which you just mentioned. Listen more than you speak. Don’t think Lex understood that this time or at anytime. —feel like Lex is just here for the gains, further proving Ye right. Disappointed in Lex. Don’t care what Chamat is saying. Yes, Ye is lower than low, but yo you’re excusing it by not helping him in his way. Ye himself mentioned the problem and the reason for his actions, hence he is the only one who knows the solution to the problem. It is true that no one will understand each other’s pain. However, we can use whatever given to us and use them by the proportions👂 to help each other. Chamath seems like someone who wants attention, so what he says about Ye is hypocritical. – you of all people, Lex, should behypocritical in the way you are not helping him in accordance to his plan. Also whatever You talked to Ye, yet this interview/podcast session was pure rambling. Letting some third party capitalist come on the show and talk about Ye – Ye didn’t like these kind of ppl – Lex you’re just mocking Ye at this point. Lex you’re proving Ye right. But ofc. It is difficult to trust Jews. They are the ones in charge of the media. Now with that being said. If you truly don’t mean that they are not, but a bunch of certain people who happen to be Jewish own it – Then you’re hypocritical. You are the damn media. You’ve misused Ye in a bad way which you proved with this interview/podcast…. Furthermore, Chamath doesn’t care about people. He said he struggled himself, in his life, and yet he doesn’t care about Tamil ppl. He commented the atrocity of the Sri Lankan civil war and thereafter was with the Sinhalese president. He doesn’t even care about the Uyghurs. He is the reason for such atrocities like genocide happens. And you were not for even 1 minute critical of anything he said in the vid, which shows that this is all an act for you. – where you get to play the “wise old servant” with a lot of sophrosyne, however you don’t care about the people you’re with. You care about what you gain from it. Another two Jews to the bunk.- I mean I want to prove that wrong but yo….
Excellent advice, problem solving, and perspective.
This is one of the best podcasts i've ever heard
This guy tryna be Naval
Really change my perspective on this guy. Thank you 🙏
Your questions cover all the main ones from my list. Thank you for this Lex ❤
I think I just went through 5 years of therapy after this interview. I grew up in chaos and have lived with self sabotaging habits my whole life. I still don’t understand it but Chamath is striking anchored. Thank you Lex for this interview, god bless
Hour-plus talk, but the guest hasn't said anything insightful.
Just when I almost gave up hope in the internet…this came along. Please do a part two. 🙏🏽
They call him Scamath for his IPO scams
I need a comedy sketch of Lex Friedman's friend AI attempting to positively influence internet behavior. Where it inevitably just gets berated and abused at every attempt.
Dude is blaming his parents for being poor.
