I created this channel to get to know Telegram while traveling and also to connect with cool people from all over the world ❤️ Here's proof that this is the "official" channel: https://twitter.com/lexfridman/status/1535664583209254916

I'll post travel updates here, mostly in English but sometimes in Russian, Ukrainian, or French. But I hope it's okay if I also post regular updates about podcasts and stuff like that. For example, here's my new conversation with Donald Hoffman, author of The Case Against Reality, who argues that what our eyes see is completely detached from objective reality. It's not just an abstraction, it's a complete illusion. This was literally mind-blowing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reYdQYZ9Rj4

Ran 13 miles in 100 degree heat today to give me something to remember Austin fondly by. It felt surprisingly good mentally. Water and electrolytes were a big help.

Here's my conversation with Tony Fadell, co-creator of the iPhone, iPod, and Nest. Tony is a legendary designer, engineer, leader, and a great human being who built some of the most incredible and impactful technologies in history. This was fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oDZyOf6CW4

We're all NPCs in somebody's game, if you zoom out far enough.

The media is a self-organizing division-creating machine.

Shown is the political lean of various media organization. A good way to combat division is to read multiple sources across this spectrum, steelmanning perspective you don't agree with, seeking to understand not deride.

Here's my conversation with Richard Wolff (@profwolff), one of the top Marxist philosophers and economists in the world, all about Marxism and communism. It is a controversial topic, but one that is essential for understanding our history and our future.

This telegram channel is now just @lexfridman (it was @LexFridmanReal before). I guess that means we no longer know if this is real or not.

Human interaction is complicated.

I went down the rabbit hole reading about how harvester heads work and now I'm glad they're not controlled by AI.

Here's my conversation with Douglas Murray, author of Madness of Crowds and The War on the West. He makes the case against cultural Marxism and the war on Western values, providing a countervailing perspective to the previous episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG7I6Bt_NZY

Noone is perfect. If you look for the bad you will find it. If you look for the good, you will find it. Choose wisely what you look for.

I'm visiting DeepMind soon to talk about AI. Should be fun.
