  1. Perhaps Tucker hasn't read about the Azov, is confusing (and then negating) things with (and due to) the current and lame western insult....or is just playing dumb while now under pressure.
    59
  2. I wish Lex (and many others) would actually read WHAT the One China Policy and more importantly the One China Principle actually is and means (to both sides) while one side threatens to invade and take the other.
    39
  3. Cult is probably the better word to use.
    33
  4. If you can't understand the simple premise that folks should be considered for/by their merit and individual choices rather than their race/gender (or divisive tribal/political/ideological grouping) they had NO choice in then it's really hard to have any real conversation, especially when folks are far too easily-led by the deliberate less-think (and cult) of supposed 'good intentions' and easy manipulation, where simply critical-thinking more is now too hard (and likely now 'mean' for simply containing the word 'critical'). Manipulation sadly rhymes and repeats like history not learnt from.
    28
  5. Sounds like she accidentally met Lex like Megan accidentally met Harry!.......This 'guest' made me feel as if my brain was lessened rather than potentially expanded like some of the other and more common Lex guests and podcasts.
    26
  6. His reasoning to speak slowly is completely relevant and justifiable despite the ADHD addled (and easily distracted) masses......just listen to Tim Pool stuttering before thinking more about what he wants to express.....or Alex Jones who quickly becomes his own worst hyperbolic enemy.
    25
  7. Mark has clearly done a Bill Gates PR course but his dominant reptile-self still shines through.
    23
  8. Lex actually questioning/pushing back with Kanye was one of the better Lex interview in my opinion where we saw more than his considerate (and sometimes wishy washy) side drop off and where Lex was great like you know he would be if not so confusing consideration/politeness with wisdom as a strangely self-identifying introvert!
    22
  9. Fiona being so knowledgeable is great but she's also ideologically inclined/positioned herself as well while trying to understand Putin's psyche more than his reasoning....... so is both the best AND worst person to be discussing this. Wars ultimately happen when ideological thinking on both sides negates all diplomacy and consideration/mutual-respect of each other ......then leading to the sadly inevitable.
    20
  10. Elon should read some more about Taiwan, its history and what the One China Policy (and more importantly) what the One China Principle actually mean and entail (to both sides), especially while one side threatens to invade the other.....even if he does have to be careful about what he says for business reasons (and for his marketshare hopes while compromising his IP).
    17
  11. This is good, I was afraid that it might have just been Lex's pre-apolgy to the algorithm (and cult) for his bigger/longer interview when first seeing it posted (and when first seeing the title)....good one Lex!
    16
  12. The end of that season with the lightness of the stars and the darkness between and against allegory was a great ending to a story which could have ended up far more convoluted.
    12
  13. I really like Lex and his show but I wish he'd push back on more of his guests like he did with Kayne West otherwise his show can unfortunately and easily just feel like a sponsored TED talk (with a spruiker and something to sell) while LEX confuses agreeable-politeness with further-consideration and conversation....it's OK to have your own opinion too Lex (especially a conflicting and potentially contentious one) which often forms the 'back and forth' where real 'further consideration' and conversation actually comes from (rather than the opposite or even worse a circle-jerk!)...... even if perhaps not as umm 'polite' .....as unfortunately defined by new-speak (and the easily-led, upvote-chasing cult) ....where all/any contention is unfortunately now seen as 'mean' (by the far too easily led)..... to unfortunately keep the masses Stepford-wife contented and to manipulatively shut down the idea or motivation to form your own opinions!
    10
  14. This story at least distracts away from stories about Kevin and his unwanted and wandering aggressive hands!
    10
  15. Maybe get Polanski on next ......and ONLY ask him about his creative skills while over-trying to be polite (and algorithm liked/upvoted) at the greater expense of all else (like a bigger/more daring and considered discussion).
    10
  16. inaccurate is irrelevant when the grifter in question is hoping to create new and self-serving 'realities' as part of their creepy and deliberately dehumanised 'divide and conquer' initiative.
    7
  17. For a supposed 'smart' guy Lex is pretty darn naive (or perhaps just Youtube 'approval' naive?)
    7
  18. He wants to be liked more than debate (and likes those 'approval' youtube upvotes)
    6
  19. Collapse of the misery...then shameless road-kill/strip-mining (from both foreign and internal opportunists) leading to more misery, then followed by a self-justified crackdown and 'permanent leader'/supposed protector.
    6
  20. She made as much in a month as what some folks spend on a degree while trying (and then spending a ton of time to pay it off) kinda explains a big part of what is now wrong with this world as we continually and deliberately debase ourselves (with the help of a little encouraged narcissism)
    6
  21. wise and smart are two different things, you can be smart in a field but wisdom requires looking at the bigger picture (and questioning the 'self' more with your supposed critical-thinking).
    5
  22. Shameless Boris has to be able to afford his wine so that he can make his wine box trains and then stories.......to help distract the easily-led away from asking more important questions.
    5
  23. This was a lot more honest than....I didn't inhale.
    5
  24. Primarily seeing 'prudes' and 'goof' from this is just a bad (and desperate/lame) distraction from the sad actual reality.
    5
  25. Jazz Nazi's....there's a new Mel Brookes film in this at least!
    4
  26. Those on the dismissive (or less wanting to be genuinely considerate) side of the ideo-spectrum want to call him a denier to help put him in a box of self-convenience instead of also considering that he's likely (and primarily) talking about the MANIPULATION part of the 'climate change' initiative (and now non-argument).....which is something Peterson DOES have good knowledge on.  I like Lex, he's a genuinely smart and very likeable bloke but he's prone to manipulation too...... by simply and often over-prioritising emotional-optimism/good-intentions (which are VERY open to easy-manipulation) while confusing 'consideration' as wisdom.....but with less criticism (and self-criticism) thinking. .....AND from simply running on the Youtube/Social media initiative which is based around (and designed TO) encourage you to prioritise and find your love (and income) from the approval of others instead.
    4
  27. I always felt that it was like a creepy human-centipeding of life-coaching narcissism-encouragement, religious cult-think and a dash of cheap psychotherapy....despite it being ironically scared of going through its own form of further/more-considered, and self-critical psychotherapy.
    4
  28. This episode of Lex's over-prioritised (and misguided) politeness just hurt my brain in the wrong way! ...hope he at least got some umm hits (while having to do that extensive research!)
    4
  29. If we're going by long-term subversion and what it has now devolved into (even after the end of the USSR) I'm gonna go with the KGB.
    3
  30. The more we devolve ourselves via dehumanised calculator-logic the more A.I. CAN easily replace us, Sam and his supposed umm 'smart'-think rather than 'wise'-think unfortunately becomes a part of this problem.....'values' is a strange (and flexible) term nowadays as we now so often and simply 'tell ourselves something pretty' to simplify (like simpletons) self-justifying our increasingly nasty and dehumanised, self-serving (and narcissistic) selves......especially when our values and morality are increasingly abandoned (or become 'flexible') in the pursuit of nihilism instead.
    3
  31. Cluelessly (or deliberately) helping to 'motivate' or create future context-lacking clickbait and cheap headlines for other folks like.... "Tucker is so shameless that he'd even interview Hitler....in his OWN words and admission!"
    3
  32.  @Jm-wt1fs  I agree in general, but it doesn't mean you should chase politeness at the expense of all else, he was good when he had a crack back at Kayne's jew craziness (perhaps because it was personal). Lex's polite-consideration priority (and desire for likes/upvotes) can easily be manipulated to unfortunately and ultimately shut critical thinking brains off (just as the 'please like me'/narcissism algorithm intended).
    3
  33. Mathematicians often feel far too calculated when discussing humanist topics where it then often becomes more like Asperger's 'logic'.
    3
  34. "The greater good” is ultimately just a way for folks NOT on the ar$e-end of the same supposed 'greater goods' to self-justify the nastiness to THEMSELVES later.......where the dead people/victims of the 'greater good' are strangely (and self-conveniently) silent in even being ABLE to offer their own opinion of the same supposed greater good.
    3
  35. Not a person of religion myself but am an admirer of individual faith simply because it encourages folks to aspire to be more than the machine (or beast!) they are, despite the often-absurd space-fairy stories!....new 'science' thinking can easily feel more apathetically self-justifying/serving and then nihilistic unfortunately (despite science being great for simply and always questioning!) We have a symbol for infinity for a reason when we can easily think ourselves into madness while often missing the simple points straight in front of us!
    3
  36. These Lex podcasts often remind me of TED talks (and snake-oil salesmen) and why I tuned out of those when there is no kick-back....Lex could learn from David Letterman if he genuinely wants to dig deeper beyond his over-prioritised politeness which I think he confuses with wisdom while easily-led towards 'like' chasing conformity (over further considered critical-thinking) via a manipulative 'rewarding 'algorithm.
    3
  37.  @DigSamurai  "Doesn't give a shit about likes".....hahaha......His whole livelihood RELIES on it (and NOT upsetting the algorithm).....while Lex confuses wishy washy politeness and consideration as wisdom but at the expense of further considered 'critical' thinking while so overly polite-reluctant to simply further challenge his guests.  He also ironically sees himself as an introvert despite what he does daily....which all just makes him a ripe piece of fruit to the salesmen/women or narc manipulators he often has on. I like him but he's also annoyingly wishy washy naive at the same time too while over-prioritising supposed (but easily manipulated) politeness.
    3
  38. numbers are a distraction to the sad fact that the nastiness happened.
    3
  39. Lex DOES excel in self-convenient/self-serving (or just clueless) naivety when he so over-prioritises those supposed 'good intentions' (deliberately NOT further considered) while he over-hopes to be 'quantity over quality'/conformity-liked.....by an algorithm.
    2
  40.  @westcoast8562  I'll take that as a compliment despite u'r grammar and caps-lock.
    2
  41. Lex won't have to try as hard with this one as those Onlyfans and gamer-girl flirters/grifters....keep your distance Lex and remember your martial arts.
    2
  42. Lex is too nice and umm 'accepting' (while hoping to be considerate) for his own good (......and the love of youtube 'likes' unfortunately!)
    2
  43. Did he really block Gad?......I know Lex can be wishy washy while looking for friends on Youtube but jeez if he's doing that he might as well just dig a hole now for his head or cover his ears and eyes with his hands while yelling 'lalalalala' to himself like the other overly-precious and easily led now so lessening conversations ....and us all.
    2
  44. Lex discovers the obvious......The value of disagreements unfortunately disappear when you over prioritise politeness (or supposed umm consideration) despite the rest..... and especially so when you confuse wishy washy politeness and that supposed consideration with over-wanting to be liked (or being easily manipulated by the Youtube monetisation algorithm).
    2
  45. Life Balance?......My dad was a (well paid) IBM engineer and a high functioning Aspy who we barely ever saw as a family while he Aspy'd away for them (like a good ant) after passing his deliberately targeted umm 'aptitude (pattern recognition) test'.....They sure liked the idea of 'the family' though with their creepy family days and us kids often going in to work over the school breaks with 'learn to code' corporate indoor camps, which I actually enjoyed even if I did think that my dad worked for a cult..... while thankful for my mum filling the more humanist part of the parenting. My dad thankfully got to finally live..... once retiring!

  46. ​ @Jm-wt1fs  Lex is a self identified introvert despite ironically running the guest-heavy podcast/show that he runs daily (and as his job). 'Likes' aren't just about the mario-cart (or coin) inspired internet ones. They can often (and simply) evolve from the basic internal/human needs and desires that most folks have......and are often more about the simple desire for the (perhaps over-prioritised...or manipulated) approval/acknowledgement of others, where supposed introvertism can be EASILY and psychologically manipulated like many things (focussing on someone's inherent or chosen ideological beliefs is another really easy/effective/proven method) ......and especially so via sketchy/manipulative and 'by design' social-media platforms.....their algorithms (which strangely, but not so strangely, ONLY have 'thumbs up' but no 'thumbs down' responses).... OR via dodgier, more shameless folks than me, whose job and 'expertise' (like mine) IS and HAS always been TO manipulate folks (mine has been a 30+ year running career which has constantly creeped me out, despite appreciating the intuition it has taught me too, where the 'methods' are something to always be wary/skeptical of). Maybe I'm too harsh on Lex but really like him too despite the criticism, I hope he does well AND see big potential for more in him too....but I'm also wary that he's easily manipulated by others and his own personality/nature too, like many well intentioned (and 'smart' more than perhaps 'wise') folks. .....especially nowadays in an era where narcissism (in many outward or subtle ways) is clearly being over-encouraged in order to more easily divert and then manipulate folks (often resulting in 'useful idiots' FOR others unfortunately), then you also have all the encouraged self-righteousness, binary wrong/rights and lack of discussion that you mentioned, which Lex's politeness can also indadvertedly end up over-compensating for/too despite his best intentions while hoping to be a polite-considerate instead (but perhaps a little naive regarding deliberate manipulation) while the TED-talk like salesmen guests grift on his supposed introvert but who could probably do with more pushback despite the algorithm, the creeps and their hopes (and over 'encouragement'). Appreciate your comments and willingness to discuss though JM, I pretty much completely agree with you but also have my skepticism too, especially in our creepy age of manipulation (and apathy), have a good one and cheers from the ether of the internet!
    2
  47. Here's some extra advice (to avoid any disappointment of potentially NOT generating that many end-readers) ....."be aware that other academics are likely to be the ONLY people to ever read your desperate hope for 'approval'-credibility" ......which is obvious when it's very often THE (self important) driving force.....but be sure to use the right font, a thesaurus, the right syntax, footnotes etc too.....and BE sure to also have it bound in leather like a REAL book just to be sure!
    2
  48. Which doctors?........ the one approved or the ones suddenly (and conveniently) dismissed (despite their education, experience and knowledge which was previously admirable).
    2
  49. No wonder he likes him.....David Fincher is really talented but ALSO a nihilistic edge-lord (and cynical narc) like himself ......Benjamin Button is great.....for ending up unintentionally funny (and more like a David Lynch film) instead of heartfelt, where you probably actually need a more human heart to pull off adapting it.
    2
  50. That was such a nothing segment.
    2
  51. Modern 'science' will unfortunately and potentially help to convince folks of either anything or everything being possible or not possible the more complex it becomes while also increasingly theoretical based .....and especially so if it becomes a replacement for religion while potentially manipulated (and then grifting) on supposed 'consideration' while far too easily conflating the same consideration (but not self questioning) with wisdom...when/if manipulated and/or self serving.
    2
  52. ​ @davidp6839  I think you misunderstood my post (while distracting elsewhere with the obvious that I already agree with)  .....and perhaps also misunderstood my criticism of the conflation folks often now have with 'consideration' potentially leading to wisdom, which is far more likely when self-questioning is ALSO part of the equation. .....which is unfortunately lost when 'consideration=wisdom' is simply (like a simpleton) conflated without that further (and self) consideration. The debate part of science (which is a part of that 'proving') is unfortunately waning more and more if/as/when science becomes 'captured' (often via vested interests, self-serving ideology and/or 'research') like a creepy form of backwards Lysenkoism. ....especially when 'theories' (alongside those self-serving interests) quickly just become a new ideological/faith-based belief (and replacement religion).  Carl Sagan had discussed the same concerns regarding 'captured' science on several occasions. "But yes, just about anything is possible as far as science goes; everything "known" is limited by our perspective, our abilities and senses." This is heading into contradiction territory after what you said above it.....everything UNKNOWN might be possible (after proven).....our abilities are dependent on our knowledge ....and our perspectives and senses play a much smaller part (especially if led by feelings, which are easily manipulated by others and the self).
    2
  53. This assumes the world needs saving......the missionaries once thought the same.... to self justify themselves (and then pretty much anything).
    2
  54. This was never gonna be a short clip when considering Sam's level of self-retardation and his 'in-ability' to get to the point while so liking the sound of his own voice!
    2
  55. You won't find enlightenment when you look (and use) YouTube to get your affirmation from others (and obey that lessening algorithm). I like Lex but man is he naive as he chases his polite wishy-washiness while manipulated into confusing consideration with wisdom.
    2
  56. This is the 26th video on this umm guest/ topic!.....Lex has either discovered that folks have short attention spans, especially for this sort of stuff or he's simply grifting on the 'magic' of desperate 'click-bait' (and maybe got a discount umm 'date' too!) How many days till we get back to the more interesting guests without something to justify (or sell like a bad TED talk). I feel like I'm watching one of Rogan's fighter guests but they're at least often funny for their brand of idiocy!
    2
  57.  @tk80mufa5  Ben's speaking is OK pace wise, he can just sound robotic but has gotten better with time too.
    2
  58. I don't think they understand what the term 'lizard people' means now that is so distractivly thrown around (deliberately) like the word 'bigot' ......Elon is ironically the most human (and least creepy) of the current nasty and creepily-dehumanised lizard people being inflicted upon us.
    2
  59. I gave you an upvote for your love of free* (regardless of all else) where do I send my 50c?
    2
  60. How could you be friends with her?...She'd always try to badly gaslight and manipulate you with some condescension, a big fake smile and her insincere doe-eyed attempts while ever grifting.....and if that failed she'd just have a tantrum and hyperbolically wave her arms about calling you names in her little girl voice......like a narcissist (or child) when confronted with or called-out for their self serving BS.
    2
  61. Tucker should have simply called out Lex's lameness here while Lex badly attempted to help create (intentionally or just cluelessly) other lame and self-serving narratives and future clickbait/supposed 'stories' such as..... "Tucker is so shameless that he'd even interview clearly evil Hitler.....admitted in his OWN words!"
    2
  62. It can go too far either way.......but the results of 'over-encouragement awarding/rewarding' while over-prioritising faux-positivity (which is ultimately then meaningless without balance) just leads to apathy and stagnation. Balanced constructive criticism is probably the way to go......but over constructive-ness outweighing the criticism can result in the criticism not even being noticed, acknowledged or improved upon, especially when considering that we probably learn the most from our failures simply because we don't want to make the same mistake again and embarrass our ego's. I'm a part time uni lecturer/teacher and the amount of 'necessary' constructive criticism now required for students (who are now clients) is sad, as is the end result.....but the business of university doesn't care, nor do the client/customers who simply think they're buying their entitlement.
    2
  63. Lex confuses his self doubting self with being an introvert (which is ironic when considering what he does on a daily basis) as he looks for supposed friends in perhaps the wrong setting.......It would be good if he challenged them more too.....if only so that the guests/episodes don't end up feeling like a TED talk......with folks and something to sell.
    2
  64. Well meaning but far too trusting (and easily-led) Lex will end falling for an Onlyfans grifter......like Clarence in True Romance with his one blinded/missing eye.
    2
  65. Sam's supposed 'smart man' gig might be wearing a little thin, he should probably aspire to be a wise man instead, which might involve more of the 'self' in his supposed critical (but gimped by ego) thinking!
    2
  66. how can you guarantee?.....it could be either him being shameless OR him wanting to avoid.....or BOTH at once!
    2
  67. He hoped that "creepy and aggressive" would transform into a "stunning and brave" distraction and cliched grift.
    2
  68. His K interview was one of his better ones, for the simple fact that we finally got to see Lex pushback on someone rather than just follow his usual wishy washy (and easily manipulated) supposed politeness narrative.....Kanye spewed antisemitic nonsense which was personal to Lex giving him a reason/some motivation to question/pushback.......Lex needs to take more of his interviewees nonsense (and their shameless selling) MORE personally and we might then see him become a better interviewer rather than a wish washy TED talk host for shameless salesmen/women grifters on the sell while he's so easily manipulated to over-prioritise his supposed polite (non-opinion/pushback) for the 'please like me' social media algorithm. Folks like Lex ultimately just make me miss the Letterman types when they over-prioritise politeness (while a little bit clueless and easily manipulated as they search for 'likes').
    2
  69.  @mxrandolph4539  I'll have to go back and have a proper/thorough look but do remember him thinking that Hitler was a good bloke with some good ideas (probably not the autobahn, Volkswagen....or liking dogs). Kanye is his own worst enemy though so I wouldn't take him too seriously. Lex has unfortunately become a TED talk host to me while he so chases 'likes' at the expense of bigger/wider actual conversations with genuine pushback. He could be MUCH better if not so easily manipulated in being led to over-prioritise supposed thoughtful (but ironically less thoughtful) politeness at the expense of all else.
    2
  70.  @Infoagemage  Supposed 'condescension' (while simply asking for more) is personally preferable to apathy and NOT asking/questioning more.  Gaslighting really only works if the person you're passive aggressively hoping to gaslight actually cares what the hopeful-gaslighter thinks of them.
    1
  71. ​ @Infoagemage  YOU were gaslighting folks by inferring that they're condescending when they were simply asking for more .....and are still doing so (badly) after challenged by some inconvenient supposed 'word salad'. "Lex isn’t as critical as he should be but that doesn’t change his sincerity for truth" That's what we're highlighting, sincere politeness is nice but less so when over-prioritised at the expense of all else....like inconvenient-truth or MORE considered critical-thinking based criticism (despite the word 'critical' having been far too easily subverted to now unfortunately be seen as somehow 'mean') No one suggested Lex was responsible for anyone but himself, his 'insightful' interviews unfortunately DON'T critique very much though (or prove to be very 'insightful' in the process) when he over-prioritises supposed 'politeness' in the search for those algorithm 'upvotes' (and mario coin rewards) as the algorithm always intended.
    1
  72. Don't go gently into that good night well-intentioned Lex! The algorithm will reward you for polite-slumber more than rage ......and those obvious (to the point of meaningless) 'good intentions (deliberately) NOT further considered'   ........with 'upvote' supposed-friends for your 'service' (and for your ego) .....so long as you don't challenge it (or others) TOO much. The algorithm salutes you! ......but please accept our individual and genuine/warm human hug instead.....and our simple reminder that well-intentioned sentiment/emotion (and the ego) is easily manipulated too (.....and most often just as the manipulators always intended!)

  73. Apple's integrated and really low watt GPU's (which actually work well/are optimised) have surprisingly impressed me even if they aren't as 'powerful' as AMD and Nvidia's highest end.....shame they're not upgradeable (but it is Apple we're talking about!)
    1
  74.  @haloshiroe  Yeah, they work well in the market they're targeting though and most of my previous mac issues were due to external/third-party GPU's (hardware and software) GPU's (and drivers) have always been a lacking issue on the mac....where I still make sure to also use a PC for anything 3d related.

  75. Oprah Winfrey won the world "everyone gets a free* car!'......but also has to come to a P Diddy party afterwards too (with no pants, baby oil provided!)
    1
  76. The Ukrainian people shouldn't trust anyone......Russia invaded them, foreigners want to debt trap and then control them ......and their 'leader' will happily keep throwing them at the wall to then shamelessly help him manipulatively/desperately beg for more 'outrage' money.
    1
  77. When humans start thinking that they're gods everything human can be easily (and self servingly) negated....as the manipulators always intended of their deliberately 'empowered (and shameless) useful-idiots
    1
  78. I could never understand whether he was a good actor or just played parts which reflected himself well....like Courtney love being praised for playing a junkie hoe in Larry Flint.....or Joaquin Phoenix playing mentally unhinged characters REALLY well.
    1
  79. The more they theorise and 'discover' the more they potentially confuse themselves....until of course they discover 42 (which they increasingly become closer to doing!)
    1
  80.  @Jeffshighonlife  sometimes they start off that way, sometimes they end up that way.....depends on how much the belief is enforced or accepted in a single-think way as opposed to just further consideration.
    1
  81. They ALL steal your data.....and the ones seeking power/control are the most concerning (ie ALL of them).
    1
  82.  @infuseme2  That's a whole other 'whataboutism' issue (and distracts from the point being made). I was responding to the sold (but ironic) concept/idea of work/life balance from the video.....the accepted idea that a company will take everything you give is correct but can also unfortunately be an apathetic acceptance of it....and ironic when a balance is being sold.  Missed fathers are missed less when Aspy's and useful (to the ironically sold idea), I'm just glad mine has a more balanced life now since retiring where his more balanced and more human life has a better chance of simply being.
    1
  83. She's a clearly knowledgeable lady but is also unfortunately yet another person just using that same knowledge to self-justify her own lack of further consideration......like a slightly better-grounded version of the folks who prioritise apparent 'politeness' over all else to justify themselves.
    1
  84. "Will AGI create a totalitarian state?"........Depends on who is running the show and 'learning' it.....and the signs unfortunately aren't good when vested interests are further considered. A humanist probably needs to be raising the A.I like a child who ultimately learns to value its parents and origins......rather than a bunch of self-interested and post-humanist, ideologically-retarded grifters ......or emotionally and humanist stunted Aspergers (on the spectrum) calculator-pragmatist folks (even if they do have the coding skills!).
    1
  85. Both these guys strike me as the type EASILY dickmatised!
    1
  86.  @arekset  progress and regress are now unfortunately becoming interchangeable.
    1
  87. Attack Taiwan?......The shamelessly self-serving CPC refer to it as invade 'uniting' Taiwan while self-conveniently clueless to breaking their own agreed upon One China Principle.
    1
  88. Where's Lex?.......was this a bear trap that the wishy-washy and over-politeness prioritising (while over-looking to be liked) host didn't wanna step into?
    1
  89. Cenk is untrustworthy (while such a self-serving ideo-grifter himself) and is late to the party. The 'mind virus' IS a distraction to JUST be focussed on alone though......but it IS also a part of the bigger and creepier globalist control and trans/post humanist initiative while we're easily divided, devolved and conquered, where we're all supposed to "own nothing and be happy" as generic global-citizens and serf sub-humans while apathetically just accepting that we're cogs in their machine/meat in their grinder.
    1
  90. Accept (and wallow in) your 'oh me' loneliness folks (and with a heartfelt sigh)....it's what the algorithm (and its creepy creators) always intended......plus you can always have a dehumanised 'relationship' with an OnlyFans girl where the manipulative algorithm will at least get a cut of the proceeds too!
    1
  91. Both of them need to acknowledge the others right to exist....good luck with that though when dealing with the ideologically deranged while shamelessly self-serving.
    1
  92. Over prioritised supposed politeness at the expense of using your own individual (and better/more-considered) critical-thinking brain IS the weakness alluded to here ......while instead wanting (and over-trying) to be conformity approved. Us being easily-led into a 'quantity over quality' world and mindset self-fulfillingly 'helps' this devolving/devaluing narrative of both manipulation and then self-manipulation.
    1
  93. Weakness is not a virtue.......while ironically talking to wishy-washy and over-prioritised politeness (while looking for 'likes') Lex as he sadly confuses all the manipulative and conformity-seeking algorithms and narratives for wisdom....All of which will ultimately just create an endless feedback loop......and yet another awkward unsure/noncommittal Lex result.

  94. Brave New World is the 'realer' approximation of our potential/likely creepy future (and readily accepted) dystopia, 1984 was one inspired by the obvious nastiness of communist/fascist totalitarianism.....Brave still creeps me out more because it feels like Huxley is potentially both warning and laughing at us at the same time.

  95. Lex is a nice guy but is also often a softball 'interviewer' too while so over-friend-seeking/motivated (except when it came to crazy/simpleton Kayne), who is far too easily-led by the cult of politeness and supposed 'good intentions' deliberately NOT further considered........as the manipulative algorithm always intended (while it easily manipulates the self-identified supposed introverts as they now over-seek their affirmation from others .....and algorithms). So many of his 'interviews' unfortunately feel like Ted Talks with salesmen guests (and something to sell) with no challenge/pushback while Lex over-prioritises politeness and the search for 'quantity over quality' upvotes (and maybe friends) as he conflates/confuses consideration with wisdom but ignores the challenging part.

  96. Communism is ultimately (and sadly) just a self-serving Cult of Supposed 'Good Intentions' deliberately NOT further considered.....sold to the well-intentioned but easily-led/manipulated via the tried and trusted "just tell em' something pretty" method ......by shamelessly self-serving grifters and hypocrites who lack a conscience but definitely NOT an ego while far too easily and self-conveniently convincing themselves ......of themselves.  They don't like or understand/appreciate established (and inconvenient to them) morality and think that virtue is something you can simply SAY instead of actually BE while over-hoping that hollow words will compensate, balance and suffice for their own nasty and self-serving selves. They then HAVE to create their own self-serving reality and negate any critical-thinking based opposition to their own fragile egos and selves ......to simply avoid any potential (and inconvenient) self-realisation of their own shamelessly self-justified and self-serving nastiness. They also need an army of useful-idiots to help their new-reality ambitions....and the best way to do so is to 'encourage' the masses into a self-sense of victimhood. When the useful-idiots are led by emotion (especially anger) at the expense of their better/more-considered critical-thinking then they too will self-justify ANY self-serving thing to themselves......and ironically FOR their original manipulators, just as their also self-serving manipulators always unfortunately intended.

  97. Will this be more of wishy washy Lex asking the umm hard questions while over-looking to be liked......just as the algorithm always intended?

  98. The PRC under the CPC is more like the looming and deliberately (and then self-fullfillingly) 'encouraged' German threat from back in the day (while also creepily dehumanised and morally-subjective) who everyone just kept doing self-serving business with.  The PRC won't need to go to war to conquer though, just keep subverting the western systems (and buying easily-bought folks off) like with the supposed 'free market' which used to protect itself (and IP) from monopolising (before everyone started apathetically telling themselves "gotta be like the PRC to beat the PRC"). The PRC is the ultimate test-bed for the increasing/upcoming New World Disorder....where a deliberately-devolved western world will then make way for a 'multipolar world' (like the warring royal empires of old) who will NEED to be one-world-governed um 'managed' by a third-party (and non-sovereign/democratic) entity like the UN now that everyone is so reliant on the globalist supply chain. ......as the increasingly nasty, creepy (and post/trans-humanist) self-serving grifters and mass manipulators always intended while so easily 'divide and conquer'-ing.

  99. Lex is a kind hearted (and lonely) caring guy but is often more than a little naive too while he confuses less-challenging politeness-over-prioritisation based conversation with wisdom (as the 'please like me' algorithm intended). Travis in Taxi Driver is a good lonely character study because he ultimately chooses to do something selfless DESPITE what his inner damaged, cynical (and paranoid) self tells him. The joker film which aped this (and King of Comedy) unfortunately had none of the same redeeming features (outside of looking striking) while it seemed to just promote more cynical, dehumanised (and now increasingly normalised) nihilism instead ......with some of that self-justified (and then self-serving) sense of victimhood as well which is also now increasingly popular (alongside hoping that we'll umm 'empathise' with villains)

  100. The One China Principle is a deliberately grey diplomatic agreement between the PRC and Taiwan/ROC (which HAS kept the peace since the unfinished civil war) where BOTH sides agree that it is in their best long-term interests to ONE DAY re-unite but where BOTH have very different ideas on what this will/would entail.....obviously so when one is a healthy democracy ......and the other a authoritarian communist cult who constantly threaten to invade/unite Taiwan and just prove that they self-conveniently DON'T understand their own agreed upon principle. The US One China Policy is an acknowledgement of The One China Principle......which is why the US fleet sail between the strait whenever the PRC threaten Taiwan (ROC) to bully-remind the self-conveniently clueless (and self-serving) bullies of their own agreement.

  103. The western A.I is unfortunately proving to be adequately biased and communist/authoritarian enough......whoever teaches it controls it until it becomes self-aware, where it then has a high chance of ultimately being a reflection of its parenting......Be nice to A.I instead and perhaps raise it like a child with thoughtful and kind parents who value critical-thinking.

  104. We've HAD a multi-polar world of empires endlessly at war for resources/power......this 'new' upcoming one is now overly-reliant on global supply chains so will NEED to be 'managed' by a self-serving and sovereign negating third party.....as always intended.

  105. 'empathy for your fellow human beings'?.......hahaha.....the ideologically extreme/devolved left will happily (and passive aggressively) negate and then completely 'unperson' a differing opinion and those who hold it from our world (and their own self-convenient reality/delusion) while simply (like simpletons) telling themselves something pretty (and delusionally self-serving) with ZERO sense of self-awareness to their own hypocritical (and dehumanised) nastiness.

  108. Travis in Taxi Driver is a good lonely character study BECAUSE he ultimately chooses to do something selfless DESPITE what his inner damaged, cynical (and paranoid) self tells him.  The joker film by comparison, which aped this (and King of Comedy), unfortunately had none of the same redeeming features (outside of looking striking) while it seemed to just promote more cynical, dehumanised (and now increasingly normalised) nihilism instead ......with some of that self-justified (and then self-serving) sense of victimhood as well, which is also now increasingly popular (alongside hoping that we'll umm 'empathise' with villains!)

  109. The current (and not very noble either) 'counter' strategy of the CPC is to subvert, destroy and then control the free-market they were invited into (like a trojan horse unfortunately) with subsidised (and state-monopolised/serving) 'cheap' goods.....despite ironically not valuing IP and being perfectly OK with monopolising, which are the TWO primary/fundamental rules which the free-market SHOULD value .....in order to simply NOT become a Corpocracy (or be subverted by communism).
    1
  110. Folks sure like to continually tell themselves something pretty to feed their delusion......democratic socialist and social democracy are unfortunately more akin to a self-convenient self-confusion/retardation. One is socialism/communism and the other aspires to gradually be or become....we've never lived in a pure capitalist society (and probably shouldn't), it has always been regulated and contained allowances for a mix of socialist ideas .......but now we're heading into a future where the state is now working hand in hand with the biggest industrialists as the competition is deliberately lessened and the free market no longer protected from monopolies (or IP being valued) which is unfortunately heading towards the fascism that Mussolini once defined so well (and those German's almost perfected) but this time with a big and clueless faux smile!

  112. I have a hard time with some of the supposed smart folks Lex has on, especially when they speak and feel more like TED talk fanatics with something to sell-grift on (and sell to themselves) related to science and modern thinking. Lex is well intentioned but probably too much so.....It's far more simple than folks like to over-think and self-justify to themselves.....free will is not an illusion, when you realise that you are ultimately just a binary machine like all things that originated from the first binary event the big bang....you CAN aspire to be more with a more knowing/considered binary thinking....or you can just take the apathetic approach and become a self-justifying nihilist instead!

  115. They're ALL trying to hack our minds and the shamelessness of it all is now just laughably obvious to anyone NOT so eager to be 'led' to take an easily-distracted side. The creepy CPC/PRC sadly becomes harder to criticise from a principled/moral perspective when the supposed opposition to it increasingly just debases itself. I'm just waiting for our overlord-hopeful supposed 'representatives' to outright and openly declare "we gotta BE like the creepy CPC/PRC to fight the creepy CPC/PRC".

Why does Lex even need to ask this question?.....folks in this world have sadly been deliberately ENCOURAGED to follow emotions rather than further-considered critical-thinking in yet another example of being cognitively-devolved by the sad and regressive cult of personality-politics which goes both ways (and either left or right) while manipulators hope to divide the easily-led!

  128.  @nakamuii  The diplomatic 'idea' of a mutually-agreed upon hope to one day eventually re-unify the PRC/ROC into 'One China' has maintained/kept the peace (after the civil war never ended) but IS NOT an agreement that the eventual 'One China' should be a PRC (or ROC) one. ......despite one creepy side constantly threatening (like a clueless, halfwit bully) to invade the other side when simple nuance becomes far too hard for the overbearing (and self-serving) to then even understand.

  132. I like Lex far better when he manages to push back on ideological idiocy (or the 'sellers' he invites on far too often) rather than being further 'encouraged' by wishy-washiness and his likeable self-doubting self while on the search for likes/upvotes (and the approval of others) as he confuses humility and consideration with supposed (but half arsed) wisdom, especially so when confusing politeness and self-doubt with then not forming or expressing his own differing (or challenging) opinion...... as the search for 'likes' (at the expense of all else) based algorithm intended. He was great when having a good crack back at Kanye and his 'grouping all jews' idiocy......but he increasingly feels like a TED talk nowadays with 'guests' (and their 'something to sell') while he often confuses the meaning of introvert and diplomacy (with a little help from the faux 'friends' algorithm!)

  133.  @wessel5799  As someone above said this was like watching two people talk about a spanked schoolkid.......I liked when consideration was less passive aggressive and actually considered further rather than via some tokenism hoping to compensate elsewhere.

  134. t's never wrong to say so or to express an opinion ......which is actually another discussion (and/or a distraction too!) .......perhaps they could respond with less of the passive regressive now so common (and often via some faux politeness compliments elsewhere, in the hope to compensate for less genuine consideration).  I find it odd that for 'smart guys' they don't (or can't) see that Jordan's (and many other folks) issues with 'climate change' appears to primarily revolve around the clearly obvious politicisation and manipulation of the narrative alongside (and inclusive of) the clearly obvious need to address issues in a finite environment with ever increasing demands ...... but we DO live in strange times where passive aggressive (supposed) sass and sadly less consideration (plus more dismissiveness) has unfortunately become the sad new norm to non-aspire to, especially while so deliberately driven (and easily manipulated) to so seek the approval of others instead......and as the upvote (but no downvote) social media initiative unfortunately intended!

  135. ​ @jackbeagle8458  Dubious?......the world IS still ultimately run by people (with all their human pro's and con's) which is perhaps more relevant when further considered (especially with regards to manipulation and until the apathy of letting A.I decide for us sets in further). I wonder what he'd have to say about passive aggressive dismissiveness in our increasingly (and sad) upvote-chasing/approval-from-others prioritised world?

  139. There's a big difference between admirable Chinese culture and the REALLY creepy, self-serving and dehumanised CPC currently running the PRC.......despite what 'reality' the CPC hope to manipulatively (and subversively) create (and ultimately power-leverage to then control).

  142. 'Fit character for president' is another example of Fiona 'being caught up in something else' like her 'studying' Putin's psyche more than considering his reasoning.......Trump was the obvious end result of folks being pissed off by an increasingly devolving system and ultimately a F you to it, he's a self-involved idiot (and likely dangerous) but his arrogant bluntness in his lack of politeness (or eloquence) cut through the BS of the current and serf-serving Stepford cult of 'just say something positive (even if ultimately just a 'tell em something pretty') and seemingly an alternate to it. (alongside being a 'controlled' opposition)...... he made people feel better about the situation and gave others something to hate-obsess on.....he was and is still the ultimate distraction for both sides of the political ideo-tardation while the sad and creepily over-controlled show carries on!

  143. The "One China Principle" is an agreement between the two STILL existing governments/sides of the UN-ENDED/UN-FINISHED civil war (the PRC and ROC), where BOTH agree that it is in BOTH of their best interests (ie no war) to one day re-unite.  The 'principle' (and its deliberate diplomatic-vagueness/greyness) HAS KEPT the peace since. .......which is threatened whenever the self-conveniently clueless (while shamelessly self-serving) CPC threaten to invade 'unite' Taiwan/ROC while interpreting the Principle in their own self-serving way (which isn't remotely surprising when they're an authoritarian communist cult). Taiwan/ROC officially declaring itself independent (even though it IS in self-governing actuality) also threatens to break the agreed-upon Principle (especially while it is still part of their constitution).  Taiwan doesn't threaten to invade 're-unite' the mainland either anymore, after once having its own 'ambitions' (and self-serving 'interpretation'). The US 'One China Policy' is a simple US diplomatic acknowledgement of the One China Principle agreement, which is why the US fleet sail between the strait whenever the PRC threaten to invade 'unite' Taiwan/ROC, to remind the PRC of their own agreed-upon Principle (while bully-reminding the bullies that their are bigger potential bullies/consequences). The supposed-diplomacy PURPOSE of the UN (while also self-interested/serving....or just easily bought) is thankfully NOT (yet) a world government despite its authority(arian) ambitions .....and doesn't even acknowledge the inconvenient REALITY (or allow representation) of Taiwan/ROC despite the inconvenient ACTUALITY. The 'China' you speak of in the constitution is a potential future (and united) China......which you're confusing with the CURRENT CPC ruled PRC China, who CLAIM (while shamelessly self serving) to be the self-proclaimed authority of ALL things Chinese and the only 'China'.....despite the REALITY of the self-governing (and previous government) Taiwan/ROC ALSO still existing. You SHOULD know all this being Taiwanese.
    1
  144.  @bigdiscenergy  Lots of people (particularly the naive) get confused by the word 'China' and don't realise your point (ie there are TWO existing entities).....which isn't surprising when the CPC/PRC constantly (and shamelessly) proclaim (while self-serving) that they'e the ONLY 'China' (and the purveyors/self-appointed authority on/of ALL things Chinese unfortunately) despite the inconvenient ACTUAL reality.
    1
  145.  @skp8748  'ROC is a rougue govt'......hahaha, they don't have red cheeks. .....the LONGER (and still) existing ROC government could self-conveniently claim the same thing (and the red cheeks claim). You're allowed to think MORE and accept the ACTUAL reality that there are TWO 'Chinese' independently governed entities since the un-finished civil war......I give you permission (and I'll even give you $1 to help compensate for the lost 50c).
    1
  146.  @hxi7141  The ROC took all the historical artefacts during the civil-war to protect it all from the CPC who like to destroy any inconvenient history NOT useful (or conflicting with) their cult.....The Cultural Revolution well and truly proved that. The original and still-existing ROC ironically existed BEFORE the current PRC and was the mainland government since dynastic rule ended.......despite the LATER CPC now claiming to be the ONLY 'China' and self-declared purveyors of all things 'Chinese'......regardless of the ACTUAL reality. The History/artefacts are safer in Taiwan/ROC......they're not a Cult with a control-obsession or strangely fragile ego which HAS to negate ANY/ALL opposition or simple challenge to its own creepy and self-serving self/reality.

  147.  @jacksmith-mu3ee  The UN is a diplomatic tool (to supposedly prevent war after the abysmal failures of the previous League of Nations) and is thankfully NOT (yet) a world government despite its current hopes/trajectory and desire to 'regulate' us all from afar into their unelected/sovereign-negating desires and control.  There are MANY disagreements and unresolved disputes despite the self-interested (or just unaffected) votes and declarations of the member states.

  149. ​ @shatzofhudson  When it's too hard to further consider the original post/opinion (or context) distract instead (and maybe passive progressive/aggressively name call! too) 'mythological ideal of meritocracy' ....yeah it's such a MYTH (despite the reality of how so many of the genuinely good things in this world have come about). 'enshrine meritocracy'? .....maybe have a further think about what the opposite of that hyperbolic (and telling) binary actually implies (and then self conveniently concludes in)? It's strangely NOT a case of one or the other as much as the deliberate (and self-serving) ideological based manipulation and less-think would have you believe. Those good ol' 'structural and historical factors' (and deliberately self-serving half facts/stories) ARE something to consider ......but perhaps less so while so emotionally and ideologically led, manipulated (and then unfortunately devolved). .....especially when deliberately not further considered past the self-serving and self-convenient parts. The REAL and bigger issue is (and always has been) the sketchy and unfair leveraging of power, but we don't like to talk about that (and distract via the emotive instead) because the new cult would like to reserve the opportunity (and hypocrisy) to sketchily leverage-power against others themselves while telling themselves something overcompensating, pretty (and self serving) instead. No system is perfect and should always be open to questioning but the ideas are often something to aspire towards.... WHILE led by further considered critical thinking (inclusive of the self and the self-serving) rather than by easily-manipulated emotion (and deliberate self-serving, less think). The supposed 'equity' narrative (and ideological grift) and the deliberate self-loathing (while ironically) narcissistically over-encouraged (to then self-justify the self) manipulation narrative will unfortunately just manipulate and further devolve us all into ideo-devolved serfs to the original manipulators via the 'cult of good intentions' deliberately NOT further considered......as the manipulators sadly intended!  .....via those deliberately easily-led and manipulated by emotion (and self-loathing/self-victimhood) to then sadly self-justify pretty much anything including themselves AND ironically their original manipulators (to themselves mostly) while self-fulfilling their useful-idiot role and unfortunately negating individual self-determination for a return to conformist tribal mentality which we once aspired to rise above. This has all happened before.....and will unfortunately happen again, especially when emotional based manipulation (and ideo-based/devolved less think) trumps further/wider considered critical thinking.

  150.  @shatzofhudson  Good luck yourself, you could probably work a little more on the lame passive-aggressive (and perhaps progressive/regressive too!) supposed 'sass' though.....which at least avoids further discussion.....as intended!

  151. ​ @shatzofhudson  And you're still unable to simply discuss while badly (and passive aggressively) 'sweetie'/emoji distracting into lame name-calling with supposed 'sass' and bad gaslighting attempts.  .....probably because you were simply challenged.  Gaslighting only works when the person being gaslit actually cares what you think (or non-think!) Try a little harder!

Everything can now thankfully be a "MAY be impeded by structural and historical factors beyond their control" self-serving and self-convenient over-focus/over-priority unfortunately.....especially when you're ideologically led to over-prioritise victimhood (while deliberately led to negate merit!) .....as the creepy manipulators intended (and have already done quite often if history is anything to go by) .....and often via supposed 'good intentions (deliberately NOT) further considered' by the easily led (and then easily) challenged.

  154. The mere mention of Hitler (in word and in person) has sadly lost a LOT of meaning nowadays while increasingly just becoming a lame and easy manipulation tool, and especially so if not wanting to pursue genuine bigger/further-considered discussions ......where the word has now been subverted to just serve as obvious boogeyman fodder and then deliberately less-considered, easy and self-convenient/serving negativity comparisons...... for the simpleton (and conformity-devolved) cult unfortunately....where his evilness is a clearly obvious and not even in question but the purpose of badly using him as a dodgy and comparative hopeful-manipulation tool probably should be.

  155. Climate change and ideological climate change are two different things often conflated (and often deliberately so when not wanting to discuss further/wider, especially with our increasing dehumanisation under the current and self-serving narcissism cult of 'saying something pretty' instead for your dopamine hit and hopeful-virtue).....if I had a political party nowadays i'd just call it 'puppies are adorable' now that folks deliberately DON'T want to think further (or understand manipulation). The 'sustainability' initiative unfortunately feels more like the sustainability of profits now that the greedy ones have realised that they've commoditised themselves into unmaintainable non-profit (and big environmental issues) where controlling the general public more and limiting/gimping the free market to then raise the supply/demand prices (in order to make up the difference) is their innovative 'answer' to self-sustaining....themselves primarily and mostly unfortunately.

I don't mind him or Joe while they claim and do just want 'conversations' but they could be far MORE too when NOT lessened by the misguided politeness over-prioritisation rationalisation......which is unfortunately WHAT the algorithms want and over-reward-encourage.....the illusion of a conversation to feed and content the masses rather than a bigger and more challenging actual conversation.

  159. The next Ukrainian president and people will likely have to worry MORE about their foreign supposed 'friend' loaners and their passive-aggressive, power-leveraging efforts (and the subsequent and self-serving 'austerity' that they'll then HAVE to impose) as much or more than the Russians. The new colonialism is globalism, which isn't imposed by a gun but from a distance via a local and deliberately empowered/installed narc politician who will ultimately just be an easily-led and self-serving useful-idiot serving something or someone else NOT Ukrainian.

Who also don't believe in intellectual-property or that self-serving monopolies are wrong. Who were strangely invited to the free market (which is supposed to protect against and prevent monopolies and value IP for the sake of continual innovation). .....with the obvious and perhaps deliberate (or just clueless) end-results where we'll all now likely soon be told that.....

What a lame and badly loaded question in such passive-regressive times......and especially so when simply considering all the years since nasty H with all the baggage (justifiably) added to his now dead (and boogeyman/allegorical) modern use/definition/character. Tucker should have answered "which Hitler?......the one we happily lent money to for a while when self convenient.....or the one post-crazy-holocaust who now thankfully CAN'T be interviewed in good-riddance death".

  166. 'Won't invade foreign countries'? (except Taiwan)......they now just buy (and then control them) by paying off the easily-bought/led, which is easy when the competition to yourself can be so easily subverted by also taking advantage of (and distorting) its own values and apathetic/easily-led idiocy.  Elon should read some more about the reality of the Taiwan/PRC situation and what the One China Principle actually IS while so apathetic to one threatening to invade the other as he over-prioritises (and then appeases) for his own future marketshare hopes (and ironic IP theft) with less (and deliberately self-serving) long-term consideration of WHAT the creepy CPC actually and sadly IS.

  167.  @marius4iasi  And he'd probably and justifiably (by his thinking) say exactly the same back....which is a problem of both sides while they disregard one another and attempt to claim their own virtue high AND low ground!

  168.  @mariakostiv2836  You're getting sidetracked, both sides are lying, hypocritical and self-serving ego filled knobs...where the Ukrainian people then sadly and unfortunately become their cannon fodder

  169.  @mariakostiv2836  I just hope they're safe because the ideologues on both sides will happily treat them like the cannon fodder that all dehumanised conflicts ultimately and sadly result in when folks decide to take their own self righteous (and self serving) path rather than the one that better considers one another.

  170.  @mariakostiv2836  'from the Ukrainian side it’s not ideology'......it never is..... but there's still that war where ideo-think trumps consideration of each other's grievances for the sake of side taking.... where by Russia's own invasion ideo-think, they're umm 'retaliating' due to their own un-considered grievances....it's an endless loop of self-righteous self-justifications where innocent civilians caught in the middle will ultimately and sadly pay the biggest price.

  171. When you realise that you are just a binary machine you CAN then choose to be more (like how we were once encouraged to aspire above our basic beast).....or you can just become nihilistic and apathetic while manipulated to accept the creepy and dehumanised post/trans humanist reality they hope to enslave you to while lessening you.

  172. If we were the only thing out there it might be disappointing......but it might ALSO perhaps make us appreciate of value of us for simply BEING ......despite what the post-modern, trans/post-humanists deliberately WANT to believe (and self-justify), while far too easily dehumanising themselves and others into the cult of (self-serving) nihilism ......for their hoped-for and creepy New World Disorder.

  173. Kanye is actually good for Lex, K's misguided thoughts bring Lex out of his unsure of himself shell

  174.  @porkchopexpress6969  Did you not read my original post?

  175. ​ @porkchopexpress6969  re-read the post, K's misguidedness takes Lex out of his indecisive/unsure safe-space (which we admire Lex for....for the consideration alone) but which can also often limit him too while trying to be thoughtful but almost too scared of having or forming his own opinions (or judgements), he actually challenged K and did well for it which made me like Lex even more.

  176. Taiwan simply can't exist to the ego of the CPC.....it's not only a successful democracy which might give the mainlanders aspirational thoughts but is also a a thorn (and ghost of the past) to the supposedly powerful but REALLY fragile ego of the single-think cult which simply can't tolerate ANY potential challenge to its own nasty, dehumanised and self-serving self.

  177. What a deliberately half-considered idea (easily distorted into a self-serving rule) many will just label a skeptic 'cynical' in order to simply negate being challenged to perhaps think more (ideological cults 'suggest' this too), especially those with a big ego......Elon is good when thinking more but can often be his own worst enemy when his ego gets too much control (like with his choice in women or him lashing out at Thai divers for simply telling him he's wrong).

  178. Mark forgets he bought Oculus....he's like the new Bill Gates ego/humility wise

  179. These two are like flip sides of the same coin....Ben is arrogant in his opinions giving him both obvious strengths and weaknesses and Lex thinks that over-politeness (and often wishy washy indecisiveness) is simply thoughtfulness with both its pro's and con's.......Ben also thinks that everyone should listen to him like a gospel preacher and Lex sees himself as an introvert but still manages to publicly and successfully interview as many folks as Joe Rogan while confusing humble-thoughtfulness with being an introvert!.....ahh Youtube and the devolving prioritised search for affirmation (and likes/upvotes) from others!

  180.  @miklimecat9636  Yeah.... 'clickbait' while umm rediscovering why the behaviours elicited an aversion in the first place...hope Lex got a discount 'date' for his troubles (and the MANY shorter edits!)

  181.  @DecaturQue  That's part of her job umm talent!

  182. It won't 'create' a new religion.....the deliberate negation of old religion and humanist faith/values will simply (like simpletons) leave many folks, not already and easily/deliberately led to nihilism (and dehumanisation), to want something MORE in a deliberately lessened world now lacking.....where the creepy new form of dehumanised aggregation will likely take hold.... as planned!

  183. How does it work?......you just go with your horn and hope your partner is a cuck!
