"Holy shit this guy is dumb. I didn't last 5 minutes because of this smarmy pseudo intellectual questions and the false sincerity and the overwhelming banality of his personality. I completely lost any and all attraction to this chick even though she seems nice, because I realized she's mimicking his"
"And we sure aren't getting the same caliber of discussion of the various large podcasts who make claim to be something better, think Rogan, Fridman, etc..."
"just had this epiphany while I was on my morning run. I have a friend who I think is stupid because he listens to Lex, but I'm starting to suspect that I may be retarded as well because I listen to RS. Anna and Lex: both had a brilliant Soviet scientist as a father, same phenotype, elder millennials"
"the Lex Fridman getup/persona is even more annoying on his copycats. that zoomer with the purple dress shirt and tie omg man take that shit off your ass is NOT getting a CIA funded podcast"
"joe rogan is substantially smarter. watched the debate lex hosted w/ norm finkelstein +3 abt israel/palestine; his intro is just… wow. and yet, he is successful and perceived as smart."

"he said this on the ricky gervais podcast and some talk he did with that dull lex dude"
"It was something like "I'm not a republican or a democrat. I analyze everything independently". The implication being that he's super smart and that the tribalism others take part in is bad."
"How this guy is an engineering professor at MIT is beyond me. It's painfully obvious that he is a closet right-winger but plays both sides by saying shit like 'we need to love each other' or 'I will never give up on humanity' God I can't stand that piece of shit"
