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…

People who take big risks in pursuit of a dream are fun to watch and cheer on.

When people ask me who I voted for. Now you know.

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…

Thank you for the happy birthday wishes. I'm grateful to be alive, together with 8 billion beautiful humans on this amazing little planet of ours. I love you all!

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.

I wish there was a search engine for physical reality.

My conversation with @lexfridman is out. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my message and vision about my beloved Continent. Bonus: Lex laughing! I knew he was not a robot 😉❤️ twitter.com/lexfridman/sta…

Here's my conversation with Magatte Wade (@magattew) about Africa, communism, capitalism, and the role of economic freedom in empowering nations to flourish. Magatte is an amazing human being with a powerful vision for Africa & for the future of humanity. youtube.com/watch?v=Q6tDV3…

Introvert mood

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…

@elonmusk This now my new Tinder profile pic

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'm chatting with @MagnusCarlsen, current World Chess Champion, on the podcast soon. If you have questions or topics you'd like to see covered, let me know, from high-level ideas to specific chess games, positions, and moves.

Can's search for meaning

@elonmusk Part 3 should include: Create a neural net that writes Part 4.

🤣 The internet is the best.

Here's my conversation with Andrew Bustamante (@EverydaySpy), a former CIA covert intelligence officer. We talk all about the CIA, Mossad, MSS, FSB, and other intelligence agencies, including topics of secrecy, mass surveillance, espionage, politics & war. youtube.com/watch?v=T3FC7q…

@elonmusk Love is the answer

I had the most delightful afternoon discussing my beloved Africa and other stuff with @lexfridman on his podcast. What a warm, thoughtful and caring soul

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'm giving a lecture at MIT on Artificial Intelligence State-of-the-Art on Sep 2. There will be other such lectures in the fall and winter. Lecture videos will be posted on YouTube. If you're interested in attending, please fill out the form in the link. survey.alchemer.com/s3/6974319/Lex…

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…

Here's my conversation with John Carmack (@ID_AA_Carmack), legendary programmer & engineer. At over 5 hours, this is officially the longest conversation I've had on the podcast, and we can talk many more times. This was really fun and a huge honor for me. youtube.com/watch?v=I845O5…

Me at a party with humans, fitting in perfectly.

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.

Is this real? Am I real? Are any of you real? Am I in a dream?
