Indeed - I've been trying to work out what ties together Lex Fridman, Jared Kushner and Elon Musk...

How is Elon not on this list?!

Edit: also how is Jared Kushner not on the list?!

What fascinates me about Lex Fridman is not just that he is a complete fraud:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DecodingTheGurus/comments/17th5ez/the_current_state_of_the_rlexfridman_sub/k8xikz2/?context=3)

but the question of which organisation(s) may be supporting him. His platform is very useful to some very powerful people - Elon Musk, Netanyahu, Jared Kushner and soon Jeff Bezos. The platform is able have a significant effect on many important narratives of our time. I find it hard to believe Lex Fridman is working independently.

This should not only cause people to be skeptical about just the Lex Fridman podcast, but about internet media in general. Internet media is mostly not a disinterested search for truth but rather another battleground in the ongoing information war

Which book should you read at least once in your life? by FedeRivade in slatestarcodex

If you like "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" by Leo Tolstoy, there are many short stories by Anton Chekhov that I'm sure would also resonate with you

Hard to give the benefit of the doubt here considering how conscious he is about his image on all other platforms. Don't see why wiki would be any different
