Lex is a fantastic host who asks insightful questions of so many incredible guests. I love how his program exposes me to the views of such a diverse group of interesting folks - tech luminaries, journalists, scientists, politicians, world leaders, academics, diplomats, law enforcement agents, sex workers, mixed martial arts experts, and more! This PodCast makes me more knowledgeable about a range of topics that I otherwise would miss and more deeply informed about diverse views.

The Lex Fridman podcast stands as a beacon of intellectual curiosity and genuine discourse. Lex’s adeptness in asking intelligent and thoughtful questions brings depth and insight to each episode, fostering a space where diverse viewpoints are explored with grace and respect. What sets Lex apart is his unwavering commitment to seeking out opposing perspectives, creating a platform where ideas clash in a constructive and enlightening manner. Furthermore, his humility shines through his dry, self-deprecating humor, adding a layer of warmth and relatability to the conversations. Through his podcast, Lex Fridman not only informs and entertains but also inspires listeners to engage in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding.

Not necessarily in that order. But these are the four virtues that Lex Fridman brings to the table of every long-form discussion he conducts. There is a fifth byproduct virtue as well, and that is called humility. All five are 100% genuine.

This forum is an absolute gem. The care that Mr. Fridman takes to research his guests, and to travel fearlessly with them into all sorts of intellectual and philosophical territory (often unresolved!) is always apparent. Lex has truly nurtured this art. He loves what he does - and I love watching. I’ll be tuning if for a very long time.

I was drawn in by conversations with world class grappling coaches, but across the board these are great conversations. Not many interviewers come so prepared, ask such great questions, and also just let the guests speak. Highly recommended.

I have been listening for the last two years. I’m in it for the science. Incredible long-form discussions about science, tech, philosophy and the nature of intelligence. Supremely interesting guests and conversations.

I am a mom of two young boys and love hearing the varied perspectives on what the future will look like for the next generation of humans!

In his recent podcast with John J. Mearsheimer, Lex Friedman emphasized his commitment to including diverse voices to mitigate human suffering. However, when Mr. Mearsheimer asserted that Hamas seeks peace and accused Israel of contemplating ethnic cleansing in Gaza, Lex offered minimal challenge or request for substantiation. This approach allowed the perpetuation of a narrative suggesting Israel’s ambition to annex Gaza and the West Bank, an assertion that conflicts with historical events. Notably, Israel has proposed a two-state solution on multiple occasions, only to be met with violent resistance.

The claim of apartheid is contradicted by the reality that Israel has withdrawn from Gaza and parts of the West Bank as per the Oslo Accords. The emergence of Hamas, a group openly advocating for a Jew-free Palestinian state (a fact publicly available on their website), has dampened enthusiasm for a two-state solution.

Mearsheimer’s accusation of Israeli ethnic cleansing, while ignoring Hamas’s stated goals, represents a concerning moral inversion. This overlooks the fact that two million Arabs live, work, study, vote, and hold parliamentary positions in Israel, starkly contrasting the absence of Jewish residents in Palestinian territories. Such disparity raises questions about the basis for moral equivalence in this context.

Lex’s silence on these issues and the failure to address significant events like the atrocities of October 7th were both disheartening and disappointing. Critiquing Israel’s policies is valid, but it should be done with intellectual integrity and compassion. Lex’s approach in this episode was a missed opportunity for a more balanced and informative discussion.
