Comments by "iorekby" (@iorekby) on "Mark Zuckerberg vs Lex Fridman in Jiu Jitsu" video.

@----.__ I'm sorry but that's a really reductive and kinda cringey take. I highly doubt Buddhist monks working in impoverished parts of Nepal to feed and cloth homeless people are trying to one up each other. Agree to disagree with you on this.

Dude you clearly have never met these Silicon Valley billionaires (I have briefly, I work in tech and have heard legions of stories). Stuff like BJJ to a guy like Zuck is just an affectation. It's all simply one upmanship. These guys have all the money in the world, so they are constantly trying to out do each other. "Oh your yacht is 100ft? Mine is 105ft!" "You had front row seats to every UFC event? Well I actually train MMA legit" It's all just posturing to outdo each other in silly rich boy game. Zuck either does a few more tiny masters competitions where he's 1 of 2 entrants and gets a medal no matter what, then is fast tracked to black belt so he can rub it Systrom's and Musk's face, or he gets "too busy" to keep up with training but still rubs it in their face to a lesser degree.

Nah it was a legit tap. In unrelated news, Lex also has just been hired as an AI consultant at Meta for $1million a year.... ha ha Jk :)

Also fair to point Mark not only has been training for only year, he's also almost 40. He looks about as good here as any other middle age dad who just started doing BJJ a year ago, so people shouldn't judge him overly harshly because he doesn't look like a killer.

I mean Lex seems like a good egg but someone doing a sport I like doesn't mean they get a free pass. Sports washing can happen on a micro scale too. Don't like Zuck doing Jits distracted you from some of the shady stuff he's done and what his companies are doing.

@L0kias1 I swear this comment section is a brain cell graveyard. That was total gibberish.

@kris3451 Its not fanfic when I literally met the guy. Unlike the snivelling sycophants on here I've heard him speak IRL I've worked in tech 21 years and sadly know all too well how these guys behave.

@tomwolfe7782 And I believe people can't read very well. The other dudes literally said "the entire planet". It was a universal statement. Now there's exceptions. It was the most Joe Rogan like brain dead wanna be beta "insight" designed to impress bros who wonder why their sister has 2 brothers but they only have 1. It's beyond moronic. It's a level of vapidity that blights otherwise intelligent points in Lex's videos. And if you were as educated as you are trying to desperately sound, you'd know it's not up to me to disprove anything. The other guy claimed it was everyone and didn't do shit to prove it. It's also argumentum ad ignorantiam. Half the people here commenting won't know what that is because Sesame Street haven't made a video about it yet or Lex hasn't ELI 5'd it for them.

@kris3451 Why are you so hurt by this lol? The comments section is legion with platitudes from people who never met the guy, but you pick a bone with me because I don't get in line with everyone else to bow down at his alter?
