Looking forward to it! Lex, Andrew, and Joe are always fun. :)
Is it more than 2 hours?
Wasn’t it supposed to be today?!
@@QuantExp yeah, at first he said Monday but he changed it
I’m digging the backdrop!
Lex provides grounding, love and humanity in a media world that thrives on chaos, shock and apathy. He is a breath of fresh air and reminds us that empathy, intelligence and curiosity are three very valuable traits.
I named our dog after lex. Collie/Springer spaniel cross. As a puppy he was still, aware, brave, affectionate but not needy. Stoic. And he wears the same black and white suit as lex too.
It's such a blessing that people like Lex Fridman and Huberman are available to learn from in our time. Usually we would have missed minds like them cause of the exclusivity in academia. And the best is they inspire each other 🥰
The sad thing is that the general culture considers the approach of these three guys to be inherently racist and exclusionary. If we don't fight for brilliant people like these three, both they and their thoughts and approaches to life will eventually be excised.
@@esperago I don't see it as drastic but yes you're right, we definetely need to fight for and with them, agreed
@@MissMinikku I agree. I don't think it's a five alarm fire but I do think it might be one of those things that sneaks up on us and suddenly, one day, we will all wonder how it came to be. So I think we should treat it as a crisis, to ensure the survival of Western 'thought.'
@@esperago hope we don't get to that point :)
@@esperago It's safe to say that it's not just western thought but a humanity one, i guess you might not know how far beyond the western world both these guys (including others like Peterson, Ferris, Willink) have reached, when it comes from a "good heart" and it's practical thinking, sane people all over the world will be touched, i can guarantee you that they would be hailed by many more all over the world if it wasn't for the language barrier.
I can understand your fear though of the unlikely mixed post-modernist Marxist phenomenon that swept your part of the world and that's trying to censor common sense an bend free thought and science to its whims, as a none-westerner who actually knows first hand how sacred freedom of speech is, i do agree that you guys should stay most vigilant especially that they got to sensitive fields like children education, still it feels like the pendulum is swinging back to the sanity side, the canceling powers of the far left twitter mob is waning (maybe completely eradicated if Musk buys it) , so of course support these guys however you can, i for one can only subscribe to there channels, like and share as many videos i watch with my English speaking friend.
Love Andrew's insight to his "3rd reward system" which I called "constructive criticism" my whole life. I grew up under criticism and pointing to negative side of things so I developed my "constructive criticism" approach to almost every aspect of life. Great convo!
I know what Lex means when he says "....love in your heart." I have a VERY similar mantra. I'm a dietitian, and the way I approach nutrition isn't by extolling willpower; it's by trying to inspire people with WHY-POWER. WHY do you want to eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, stay off drugs, exercise the way you should, and love those around you? If you can answer "WHY???" you can transcend the need for willpower, and all your vices lose their grip.
You made a depressed man happy for abit reading that, thanks bud
Impressive interpretation of how Lex is like a wolverine. I thought you would say wolf. His way of thinking like an engineer and one whose life centers around compassion and excellent listening and understanding seems so special to me. I feel less lonely listening to his conversations. Some part of me thinks I want to learn the information from the conversations, yet mostly I am appreciating the essential being that comes through how well he relates with the one he is learning from and listening to. His way of being in the world, the humility, the capacity for self doubt, multiple perspectives, and his sustained concentration level I admire. I pray he makes it back to the US. Thank you Dr. Huberman for also offering us so much free knowledge. What generosity!
Andrew and Lex are my absolute favorite dudes. I could listen to them all day, everyday! Lex is a Cougar, very sly, quiet, ninja-like, smart, knows when to strike and has the patience to wait for it, lays low, is solitary, fixated, committed, disciplined and many other things. He is a Cougar.
I love cougars! 😍
And never aging. He's 40, but look at him. He looks much younger than he should be.
One thing I love about Lex is that he has more intellectuals on than most podcast, and definitely way more than what the manosphere has to offer on the women hating Side of Everything. Lex brings to the table what most will/would not...intellect.
Without Lex I wouldn't know who either one of these guys are.
Yes, there is some negative stuff in the manosphere eg divorced fathers understandably embittered by the self evident injustice of family courts. However, it is far from the conspiracy wokesters see. As others have mentioned, it’s great to see all these rational thinkers on CZcams and how seeing one interview leads you to a new leading light. Eg I’ve just seen Murray being interviewed about Fridman. I ‘met’ Jordan Peterson while following dissident
feminist Camille Paglia eviscerating neo-Modernism. Peterson’s CZcams interviews lead to discovering other adventurous thinkers, as does Joe Rogan - including naturally JBD. Time to evolve to the andro-verse
@@philodonoghue3062 one major issue I have with the manosphere is they take lectures that JP has done years and years ago and they twist them up to their benefit. I've been listening to Jordan Peterson way before Lex ever came out or this guy. Back in 2017 when the manosphere wasn't so huge and it wasn't all about woman hating. The statistics they use for the dating scene is completely obscured,from 2005, they don't cover all statistics they just cover the ones that fits their menosphere agenda. And they're using information and statistics from the dating site not real life. In real life women get hurt by men just as much as men get hurt by women. To bat eachother against one another is the Marxist agenda and the manosphere plays a part in it just like the 3rd wave feminists. It's one in the same, women hating men, men hating women. These guys who call themselves "high value" or "Alpha" play right into the toxicity that lfe has thrown at them. There is such a thing called toxic masculinity and toxic feminine. But the key word is "toxic" has nothing to do with the sex. People need to take a deeper look at themselves and ask themselves why did they pick the partner they picked and take responsibility in their own choices in life. Men and women. To have an understanding of human nature and the psychology behind it and how the powers that shouldn't be play them like a fiddle. If we are always online hating on one another, how is that changing our world for the bettter? It's like all of us are playing out our bad relationships with opposing groups. The battle of the sexes will never end if it keeps going this way. Men need to understand we women are different than them and they are different than us. It's not a bad thing it's nature.
@@earthalchemyholisticllc333 exactly. This, glad some people know what's what :)
@@earthalchemyholisticllc333 you summed this up beautifully. I agree with everything you have said. I'm also sad about the manosphere only getting women on who talk shit about femininity.
Also feminism got us all the rights we have and without it we would be pathetic. Toxic feminism is all they focus on though :/
Also earth alchemy holistic is that your company? Would love to know more ❤️
Lex and Huberman are just armchair pseudoscientists
Lex is the best podcaster currently. He listens and asks amazing questions and know how to spark incredible conversation
good to know
Seriously?
Listened to lex for years. Never realized until now just how many times I have heard him say that…
I've been waiting to share this for so long and this interview about feedback to friends finally bought it out. The best managers I've worked with see what you're doing and ask why you didn't hit or achieve certain targets. They identify the gaps and expect you to improve. I thought for years these two senior managers in particular were really hard on me and my fellow managers and at times I thought they didn't like me personally, not that that mattered. However, it turned out I was performing exceptionally well and in fact was performing with a level of expertise in certain areas beyond the two managers, but I wouldn't have been able to achieve the things I achieved without their critique and tough questions. The secret was that they kept me competing against myself and were very proud every time I developed more. It gave me a profound lesson when I realised this after so many years.
I must note this was done in a healthy environment and wasn't unfairly punitive or denigrating in anyway. We had a great work culture and a lot of respect.
You find the best locations for these chats. Great stuff!
When I first watched a Lex podcast it surprised me the questions that came out of his mouth. His open-mindedness and ability to delve deep into any philosophical topic makes him unique.
All three of you guys are great. I listen carefully and have learned so much. Constructive criticism needs to be accepted more by many of us.
Dude, loving this series here in the US. Camera work is great and it really shows up the deficiency of the webcam/zoom format.
Totally agree
I can't wait for the full episode. 🙌🏻
Two of the best dudes I’ve found online. Love that they’re friends and love that he points to Lex’s heart as a huge part of him. ❤
its okay
So awesome to see Huberman on your podcast!
This is an awesome, awesome nugget (formula for motivation) -> visualizing failure is a greater motivator for starting something than visualizing success (but not great for sustaining performance - for that we need near-regular rewards - intrinsic celebration - for reaching milestones... near-regular, because we need to randomly skip out on it once in a while -> 85% reward / 15% skip the reward).
I love this dude! He’s amazing at his ability to simplify things, take complicated subjects and bring to layman terms …thanks to him and few others , knowledge is spread in the right way!
The lighting and image quality is fantastic Chis
That was great. I've just recently found Andrew Huberman and am so happy to see him here. I'm going over to the full interview asap.
I agree with Andrew's philosophy on the three "rewards." What's funny for me. a 65+ year old former career military and businessman, is that this was standard ops. It was taught in enlisted military schools ( I was an instructor for 8 years in USAF Leadership), college courses, etc. Somewhere along the way in the past 20 years it became forgotten and is treated like "new info." A sign to me we have severely gone off course on what is correct teaching and behavior and what is now "acceptable" teaching and behavior. What amazes most about instances/examples like this is the lightning speed social media has had on misdirecting these tried-and-true practices and replacing them with anger, violent confrontation and intolerance. Wake Up America!!
*Wake Up Earth
Agreed. Everyone needs friends that are mentors that don’t let us bullshit ourselves. Friends are often just cheerleaders. But if they know us well and care about our development they will give us useful suggestions that help us achieve higher development.
The word you’re clutching for Chris is giving ENCOURAGEMENT to your friends
Not sure if you're trying something new or returning to your original style but I am enjoying this format. Great content!
With some big guests, he does it out of respect I think haha. He invests so much into cinematography, aesthetics of a certain place and the cameras etc and makes it look beautiful and I love it.
@@Crimelord I think it's more like he moved to America recently, he mentioned it in some podcast
I first heard of Lex when he only had 366k Subscribers. He has quadripual the amount as of now. Speaking as a 10 Year Paramedic in Texas (but only 29 years old).... I feel at times with your content, like i did when I discovered Books as a child. I felt like I struck Gold when these Insights dawned on me.. There is power in Knowledge and Wisdom.
Thank you for carrying the torch. Huberman, Peterson, yourself and Lex are some anonymolies. Some of us didnt have Father's. And some of us haven't found our Father God, yet. I ask that you keep growing and keep following your Intuition. When I discovered you thru (CZcams alga) a few months ago I was skeptical but, here is my salute Cheers, homie.
The point with the energy makes sense to me
Sometimes I sleep only like 3- hours for days and days and feel super energetic
But it mostly happens in times where every day is intresting/adventurous/or when I'm in a very happy mood, which fortunately happens quite often :)
Last time it happened in Italy when we were in the mountains
So in 4 days...
- I eat only one small meal a day
- drank some alcohol, what I rarely do
- went mountain climbing and bouldering every day
- and slept in total only 6 hours (3+2+1)
I often ask myself. How can that be?
Aren't we all just made of a kinda similar body and filled with energy from our food
But it was/is kinda clear that it has to come from your brain/mind/whatever its called :)
Look at the juxtaposition of notes and note taking here. Chris with his digital notes and Andrew with his handwritten. No judgement on the efficacy of either, just an interesting observation of behavior.
Other than being incredibly informative and knowledgeable, Huberman seems like a genuinely nice person
I love Andrew snd Lex both so much. My kind of nerd dudes. I’m a sucker for engineers and science. Andrews animal thing, I can totally relate to. He’s a scientist who is tempered with a little west coast vibes in the best way.
I literally said Wolverine in my head when Andrew Huberman started talking about animals and which one Lex reminded him of!!
Really grateful to you Chris for this beautiful podcast
I agree that anger is not an efficient energy source and yet, is still always readily available and 100% renewable.
If you had to do things with a genuine desire to do them, you would either do little or nothing at all.
God Dawg…..too have people like you guys having such pure love for Alex, each other, self and our collective future/s is soooo glorious. I’m 10,000 x removed and am on the edge of my seat welling with gratitude for Lex (the nerd that we all are but to proud to own and MASTER!), the experience and beautiful example/s.
May God Bless All the Works of your Hands guys!!!
Lex's approach is largely sociological. I'm stumped to see everyone miss this, especially his closest friends.
Because STEM people have a rather strong distaste for social sciences, while they admire Lex they also see him as an odd duck. Also while Lex's approach is social sciencey he has no background in them and is rather primitive, why he is easily used as a platform for global warming deniers, etc.
Can’t wait for this to drop
Needed to hear this.
I've been watching Lex since his very first podcast with Max Tegmark. It was the artificial intelligence podcast back then.
Instant gratification is to enable a bar that is not to your full capacity. If we can reach higher then it would be a disservice to ourselves. I didn't always see eye to eye with his views but that's the human condition, we all see something that someone else doesn't and we grow together. Were all on the path together and I agree that love is the way. To build is to live, to destroy is to hate.
I see Chris Williamson as a leopard seal for some reason.
I love lex for the reasons we all know and I’m glad to have watched the video when he had huberman on
this setup is freaking insane. freaking on point!
I have a theory, based on no science education, that Lex has more dopamine than the average person and that is why he can see people thru a more loving lens and why he is so comfortable with loss and pain. He actually romanticizes loss and pain. I feel like I have far less dopamine than the average person, and so I avoid pain and loss at all costs.
knowing how & when to disengage is crucial for gifted minds prone to fixation
Anger is the afterburn for the human engine... Great in short bursts, but ultimately burns too much energy too fast
Potential rewards are great motivators IF/WHEN filtered through the heart First.
Difference is that I actually click on Andrew's podcasts because I want to hear what he has to say. The other guy's stuff is forced on me whenever something I have been listening to is over and I don't turn it off fast enough.
um, whut? 🤔
@@whatarewedoingouthere autoplay
Well, that’s your problem not Lex. lol
That is so true about auto play. I thought it was just me. It is relentless.
Right. Focus is like a flashlight with a concentrated beam shining on something vs a dim light that illuminates the entire room
Being in the military I can appreciate the stimulation of wanting to be better. My best mentors hold a carrot and present another goal to achieve.
Ive been watching many of these youtubers and seen how they have met and made fríends with each other, its great.
After one of Lex’s judo matches in the 1990s, I asked him “Did you intend to…” be doing so and so because you did? He answered “No, I didn’t mean to do that. Thanks you Joe I didn’t realize that.” I was always very impressed with the way he happily accepted constructive criticism.
There are very few people I enjoy hearing more than Dr. Huberman. His positivity, mixed with pragmatism, is refreshing in a life changing way.
David Deida talks about men holding their men friends accountable in his book Way of the Superior Man. I think it is a model that is sorely needed in the world, whose potential is limitless.
Note: 5:38. Í would love to hear more about the various ways (and if men vs women are different )in this sort of stroke me ego or push me on needs, does that have any physiological components or is it purely a nurture ? even if it has to do with well,Iceland vs Russia vs USA . By the way just gone through about 7 hours at Lex’s you guys are all incredible people, fantastic shows and an incredible resource (esp for those living on an iceberg in the North Atlantic…although lf ice. baths are your thing ..!
.
Still waiting for Lex to come on MW
lex is the greatest Spy that KGB ever created
That Interview was great, if you only already released the whole Episode.
I’m so fascinated by Lex! 🥰
Random question : what is the note taking software chris is using ?
OneNote perhaps?
Approach life with Love in your Heart...
Solid
Big up Wil
Lex is Wolverine. Spot On!
Friedman is super interesting.
Rogan is good but i feel some of his conversation are shallow and somewhat pointless.
Lex Fridman is Wolverine
If they ever reboot X-Men
Where to buy that signature huberman black shirt
Lex Fridman similar to likening him to the Wolverine, is akin to a lone samurai philosopher like miyamoto musashi, extremely disciplined, deeply thoughtful, and who walks the earth like a vagabond.
That 85/15 reward system is tricky as it plays into some potentially dangerous addiction-related mechanics. Example - online gaming will have reward systems that don't always work. Why? So that people will endlessly grind for rewards, knowing the reward they want could appear anytime, but of course, it may not. Now maybe it's too hard to rewire ourselves, but if possible, it might be preferable to playing into that addictive system being abused by devs and/or executives in various companies.
In case you're wondering, yes, it's far more widespread than online gaming.
You linked to a clip instead of the full episode.
Lex and Anderson Cooper are the two people I'd love to be interviewed by if I was worth interviewing.
Idk, you prob are, everyone is worth interviewing and brings a different perspective to the world. And these guys know the questions to ask to bring a message out of people that we can all learn something from
@@cabouo i don't agree
Lex’s spirit animal is the owl.
I would agree with that. Wolverine is a bit much lol
Hey Chris get Kevin Bass on. He would make a great guest!
Live is like a disease,
Truth and Light will set you free.
I find it weird how all the podcasters pump each other up in a kind of cyclical way to get them all more followers and in turn benefit themselves. All funneling up to Rogan as he's the top dog and because they want to be on his podcast. Fridman and this conversation typify this ethos perfectly.
Friends compliment each other. That's just humans being humans.
All 3 are of these Men are Brilliant.
That last section was helpful to me
Lex is a Labrador Retriever.
How to manage stress and health while working hard?
@5:30 To me, this sounds like the difference between a (typical) mother and father. Mothers tend to be sympathetic, nurturing and supportive, where fathers tend to practice tougher love, and seek to instill discipline, strength and resilience.
Obviously, not every mother and father will fall into this pattern, but the approaches described in the podcast seem distinctly masculine & feminine... despite the recent attempts to blur those distinctions.
amaZing conversation. thank you. Karats work, even for non-veggies ;-) xo
The Wolverine, If I were to be described as one. Short of a parent of guardian saying how proud they are of yourself, there is no greater compliment.
Wow! That’s interesting, I’ve never thought of it that way! To tell someone what they could do better! But that’s way more work and time consuming than just “ your doing great”! But yea, it takes a special person to accept the criticism and a special person to take the time to tell someone that! because then you have to tell them how you would do it. And so on…..plus someone might be offended?
LEX FRIDMAN IS MY HERO❤️
He’s such a good person, a doll.
Ken?
Potential reward is the cookie! The good the bad the good. Managerial 101.
Just picture Wolverine Lex digging though a 20 meter deep snow bank, sniffing out some food.
Lex is a great blend of rationality and naivety
I see that 2nd one in him alot. Almost childlike in his wonder and searching. Vulnerable.
Lex is living the Christian life and doesn't even know it. God bless him.
Freakishly strong, lazer focused, has to literally remind himself to approach things with a human emotion, deep understanding of AI and engineering.
Lex is a robot confirmed.
Chris is going full Magnolia Tom Cruise with his look here 😅
superb specimens
It's funny, the section talking about intermittent rewards is exactly how poker machines are designed to be as addicting as possible
I LOVED HIS INTERVIEW ABOUT THE DARK WEB AND FINDING THE LEADER OF THE SILK ROAD.
Brutal intro, lol
LET'S GOOOOO
What does Huberman think about Lex's flaccid interview with Zuck?
I just subscribed to your podcast because I believe you'll be one of my favorite persons too and I don't have many! I'm kind of jealous that you spent Thanksgiving with lex, actually, I'm very jealous because he's one of my favorite people. Dr huberman has become one of my favorite people since his broadcast with lex. Do you think that if I made Thanksgiving dinner for you, lex, doctor hooverman and Elon musk, that y'all would come and have Thanksgiving with me? I make a great Thanksgiving dinner because I'm very old and know the old ways of cooking from scratch. Dream Thanksgiving dinner is on my mind. Thank you for this broadcast.
7:15 Otherwise known as constructive criticism.
A porcupine/wolverine suits Lex just right!
