My guest this episode is Lex Fridman, Ph.D., a Research Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT), an expert on artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, and the host of the Lex Fridman Podcast. We discuss Lex’s recent trip to the heart of the Ukrainian-Russian War, geopolitics, perspectives on people living in war zones, the shared human experience, and how information is communicated and controlled. As an experienced podcaster and public educator, Dr. Fridman offers unique insights into the art of holding conversations that grow understanding, especially when they involve people with opposing viewpoints. We also discuss the peer-review process for scientific research publications and how social media and podcasts are evolving the way science and technology are communicated. We consider how to find and follow your life’s purpose, maintain ongoing motivation and implement support systems to build and sustain momentum. Our conversation also covers capitalism, masculinity, chess and cheating, Lex’s idea for an AI robotics start-up and a Q&A from audience questions solicited on social media. As one of the main inspirations for the Huberman Lab podcast, hosting Dr. Fridman for this special centennial episode was an honor and a pleasure!For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAthletic Greens: https://athleticgreens.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanSupplements from Momentoushttps://www.livemomentous.com/hubermanTimestamps(00:00:00) Dr. Lex Fridman(00:04:46) Sponsor: LMNT(00:08:28) Podcasting(00:12:11) Ukraine, Russia, War & Geopolitics(00:23:17) Conflict & Generalized Hate(00:26:23) Typical Day in Ukraine; American Military & Information Wars(00:36:56) Sponsor: AG1(00:38:42) Deliberate Cold Exposure & Sauna; Fertility(00:46:44) Ukraine: Science, Infrastructure & Military; Zelensky(00:53:33) Firearms; Violence & Sensitization(00:57:40) MIT & Artificial Intelligence (AI), University Teaching & Pandemic(01:05:51) Publications & Peer Review, Research, Social Media(01:13:05) InsideTracker(01:14:17) Twitter & Social Media Mindset, Andrew Tate & Masculinity(01:26:05) Donald Trump & Anthony Fauci; Ideological Extremes(01:35:11) Biotechnology & Biopharma; Money & Status(01:45:08) Robotics, AI & Social Media; Start-ups(01:53:50) Motivation & Competition; Relationships(02:01:55) Jobs; A Career vs. A Calling; Robotics & Relationships(02:12:11) Chess, Poker & Cheating(02:22:25) Ideas of Lately(02:24:44) Why Lex Wears a Suit & Tie(02:27:50) Is There an AI Equivalent of Psychedelics? (02:29:06) Hardest Jiu-Jitsu Belt to Achieve(02:32:07) Advice to Young People(02:39:29) Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Momentous Supplements, Neural Network Newsletter, Social MediaTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike BlabacDisclaimer

First, we apologise sincerely for the delayed-release. Matt and Chris have been busy beavers splicing together this decoding which proved particular gruelling for all sorts of uninteresting (but on-theme) technical reasons. But finally, the wait is over and the long-anticipated episode on AI-aficionado and popular podcast host, Lex Fridman, is here. Although as the title indicates this accidentally turned into a joint decoding episode of his guest, the 'heterodox' social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt. Lex is an interesting character and as such, for the decoding, two rather different pieces of content were selected: 1) a day-in-the-life video dairy and 2) one of his characteristic long-form interviews (with Haidt discussing social media). The format of a day-in-the-life video is perhaps inescapably cringey but it did give some unique insight into Lex's techno-monk lifestyle and his ongoing fascination/discovery of just how bad the Nazis & Hitler were. His interview with Haidt on the other hand was more substantial and covers a lot of tech-related issues that are genuinely complex and subject to an ongoing debate.Jonathan Haidt is a famous and well-regarded academic but also something of a controversial figure online in part because of his involvement in the dreaded 'culture wars'. In particular, Haidt co-wrote the influential book 'The Codding of the American Mind', founded 'Heterodox Academy', and is a vocal critic of 'wokism' and certain aspects of social media. We take a look at his arguments and try to discern whether he is a nuanced social scientist offering prescient warnings or a boomer shaking his fist at the kids these days?

Sam Harris and Lex Fridman vs The Multiverse and Constructor Theory. Although this is a reaction video, it's just 10 minutes of Sam with the rest of the time spent me doing some analysis, dissection and "what went wrong" reflection as a vehicle for explaining certain parts of physics and philosophy.

Last episode we discussed how important it is to stand for something and you'd think writing your values down in a mission statement would be a great way to let people know exactly what you stand for. Well, you'd be wrong. Mission statements are almost always vapid, boring, platitudes that end up saying nothing at all. Even worse, they often turn people away entirely!Show Notes00:11 - Lex Fridman (YouTube)02:38 - The Soup Nazi - Seinfeld (Wikipedia)04:18 - 37signals manifesto05:08 - 1981 FedEx commercial (YouTube)05:17 - About Us (FedEx)05:45 - Values (Basecamp Employee Handbook)10:04 - Elevator pitch (Wikipedia)12:17 - About Us (Enterprise)15:41 - Nudge Nudge Wink Wink - Monty Python (YouTube)19:56 - What's the point of a Reservation - Seinfeld (YouTube)
