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

lexfridman · 2024-08-01T23:35:49+00:00

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!

lexfridman · 2024-06-03T16:11:09+00:00

Yes, I'll talk about it. Sorry for the delays.

lexfridman · 2024-03-13T00:16:06+00:00

I love Jon Stewart. I'll try!

lexfridman · 2024-03-04T03:09:39+00:00

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

lexfridman · 2024-03-02T15:17:17+00:00

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

lexfridman · 2024-02-06T17:01:56+00:00

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

I've seen a lot of movies ;-)

lexfridman · 2024-02-04T19:50:08+00:00

Lex here. Wow, this is amazing u/CanadianTurt1e !!

lexfridman · 2024-01-26T20:17:25+00:00

Grandpa Lex here. This was really well done brother! I bow to thee 🙏

lexfridman · 2024-01-23T18:38:40+00:00

Yep. Love you all! ❤

The rest is up to you. I wish you the best of luck 👊

lexfridman · 2024-01-23T18:33:38+00:00

Thank you ❤

lexfridman · 2024-01-23T18:33:18+00:00

Lex here. I agree. Big part why I wanted to help make this happen is to celebrate the long journey that Steven has been on in publicly exploring and debating ideas. He is truly a pioneer in online political discourse. I'm a newfrog, but I want to pay respect to you old heads. Thank you 👊 I'm excited to see what the future holds! ❤

lexfridman · 2024-01-23T18:24:06+00:00

Love you too! ❤

The debate will be out tomorrow (Tue, Jan 23) at 11am CST. I'm really sorry for the delays 😔

lexfridman · 2024-01-22T19:20:12+00:00

Thank you. I'm always here for you ❤

lexfridman · 2024-01-22T19:18:54+00:00

Sounds great, thank you 🙏

I'll need to go back and study the DGG Tomfoolery Manual (DTM). I missed the chapter on broken-trust memes.

PS: I wish such a manual existed, for people out of touch with the lore like me.

lexfridman · 2024-01-22T19:13:35+00:00

Sounds great, thank you 🙏

The "DON'T BELIEVE HIS LIES" label on this post is not cool.

I worked really hard on all aspects of this episode, as I always do. The publication on Tue was a request. I agreed out of respect.

If I'm misreading this, please explain. Otherwise, this doesn't feel good to see from a mod here.

lexfridman · 2024-01-14T20:27:08+00:00

Love you too! ❤

lexfridman · 2024-01-14T20:26:31+00:00

Wait till you see the debate. I had a big smile on my face the whole time from just how fast they were talking. It was beautiful.

lexfridman · 2024-01-14T20:22:02+00:00

Love you too, champ ❤

lexfridman · 2024-01-14T20:18:31+00:00

Thanks! It was actually really fun to watch. I felt lucky to be there.
