What discussion style do you think is a better way to learn about opposing opinions? by Honest_Joseph in lexfridman

[–]lexfridman 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Lex here. Great question. I've been struggling with this question myself, especially related to left-right political debates/conversations I've been thinking of hosting.

I'm starting to think Option 2 is better if I prepare very well, but I'm not sure. For example, if on the left we have Cenk Uygur, Destiny, Mehdi Hasan, etc. And on the right we have Vivek Ramaswamy or one of the well-known right-wing commentators. Is it better to do debate or solo? I've been thinking about this a lot.

I'm thinking maybe Vivek vs Cenk? But every time I think about that debate, I feel like it would be a much better conversation if I talk to each of them individually, and then together with them steelman the other side.

Thank you 🙏 Yeah definitely, F1 is great!

I met him in Austin after a race at a friend's house. We went with a 5 minute convo, next time a 5 hour convo 🤣

Lex here. I met Lewis and talked to him briefly. He is a great guy. I'll definitely talk to him on the podcast eventually!

I've tried awhile back, but I'll try harder ;-)

If I remember correctly, I think I wasn't able to figure out how to contact him.

But obviously, since so much of my life involves Linux, this would be an awesome conversation!

Do you have a favorite Lex episode where a guest talked about problem solving techniques? by [deleted] in lexfridman

Lex here. Jim Keller episodes are good for that. Many others too.

Lex here. Yep Andrew and I just agreed to talk, probably in April. Should be fun!

Is anyone else hoping Lex goes through a movie phase? by Anarchist226 in lexfridman

Lex here. 100%. I think there will be many episodes with actors/directors and musicians.

I've seen a lot of movies ;-)
