Where Modern Philosophers speak - Lex Fridman Podcast
Lex Fridman is a very modest guy from the US. A mix of peculiar demeanour, monotonous voice, tip-top professionalism, a broad scope of intelligence combined with care and empathy - makes even more appeal to the serious topics he raises in his YouTube channel.
A man, a mind, a consciousness, and even a soul - amongst the haze of upcoming developments of Artificial Intelligence, cosmology, quantum physics, cryptocurrencies. He does not fear asking awkward questions, expressing doubtful thoughts.
The top of the story is - he speaks with remarkable, well-known guests, experts in their own fields yet having a quite deep philosophical stance. An atmosphere of profound privacy makes them open up even more. This is Lex' true talent.
In the times when authority figures are massively undermined - because of their dishonesty or weaknesses of the system, there are still people who need to share their insight in a way that is fascinating, inspiring, thought-provoking. Philosophers had not died, they expanded their subjects.
Most notable guests are Richard Dawkins, Alex Filippenko, Leonard Susskind, Noam Chomsky, Eric Weinstein, Elon Musk, Michio Kaku, Roger Penrose, Stephen Wolfram, Sean Carroll, Bjarne Stroustrup, Garry Kasparov, Joe Rogan.
