  1. 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.

  2.  @martls6  He's better when/if the topic becomes more personal....I actually liked his willingness to push back when it came to Kayne and his 'jews' rants but we don't see it enough from Lex.....and Lex himself just blocks folks like Gad Saad when he simply calls Lex out for his over-prioritised 'polite good intentions' (deliberately NOT further considered) shtick. 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.
