Here's my conversation with @jordanbpeterson about Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Putin, the search for meaning, the corrupting effects of fame & power, and advice on how to think and how to live. This conversation was intense, challenging, and fascinating. youtube.com/watch?v=sY8aFS…

Here's my conversation with @duncantrussell, a comedian, host of The Duncan Trussell Family Hour, and one of the most fun, kind, brilliant, and beautiful human beings I've ever met. It's an honor to now be able to call him a friend. This chat was wild! youtube.com/watch?v=jdIyNM…

I try to assume the best intention in the actions of others. The internet too often seems to want to do the opposite. I think the former is way better than the latter if your goal is to be productive, gain understanding, solve problems, and find happiness in this life.

The whole 5 hour marathon @lexfridman interview was actually received better than I expected, but there are a bunch of shorter clips up at youtube.com/c/LexClips/vid…

I ran into @VitalikButerin yesterday, and had a brief chat. Ethereum is likely moving from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake next month. This "merge" is an important moment in the history of crypto. Good luck to everyone involved! Vitalik and I will do a podcast after The Merge.

I listen to everything on 1x speed. I admire all you folks that do 1.5x or 2x, but my brain needs time to process the ideas. Sometimes I pause the podcast/audiobook & just reflect on a single sentence for a while. I used to think I need to improve this but now I just accept it.

I had suggested to Lex that he edit it down to a more manageable size, but we didn’t even cover half the things we wanted to talk about. It might make sense to factor me into independent gaming/rockets/VR/AI phases, but everything winds up overlapping. twitter.com/lexfridman/sta…

Back to running daily in Austin heat. 13 miles, 2 hours. First hour is meditation. Second hour is listening to an audiobook, currently The Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn. The face in the pic is result of 100 degree heat & listening to accounts of torture in the Gulag.

I believe in the power of conversation (between leaders) to help avoid World War III. This requires of our leaders: strength of character, empathy, emotional intelligence, and deep historical knowledge of the nations involved.
