Neri seemed so grateful you gave her the space to talk about the subjects she loves in a format like this.

[@TrewlPatrol]

Lex was having a hard time making eye contact with her😂

[@marquaviuslequavisdonvon-id3nv]

Hell I would too

[@AnimusOG]

shes has to be the hottest woman I've seen in a long time... Such a beautiful person, and mind... it'd be so hard for me too..

[@Rem_NL]

Class elegance style beauty passion intelligence all on display. How could you stare in the eyes and not be distracted. Lex did us a solid.

[@TrewlPatrol]

@@Rem_NL oh I agree. I can only imagine that intellectuals such as Lex don’t often run into this type of rare woman. I’m not suggesting women aren’t smart, but when they’ve got it ALL, for Lex it must be like finding the Holy Grail…

[@mihkel86]

Smart is the new s*xy

As a child growing up in S. Africa many many years ago, we used to place silk worms about to pupate on flat card shapes such as star shapes or squares shapes etc and use the yellow silk shapes as book marks. I also put lots of silkworms on a large 12" x 12" flat piece of card and they made a silk cloth. Many children made the silk bookmarks. We children would keep them as pets and feed them mulberry leaves, and save their eggs for the next year.

Neri Oxman and her lab's work is the most inspiring art of any kind being done today. And it goes beyond and redifines any conventional idea that the word art may encompass up to now. The imaginative synthesis of technology, biology, imagination and purpose have few if any precidents. It's absolutely new, original and inspiring and always fits Kandinsky's definition of beauty as that which is visually inexhaustible.

Dear Lex, thanks for getting such interesting people on your show. Good work. John in the UK

[@julians7268]

[@JWistedNut]

[@lenyabloko]

She is a perfect borg queen. "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated"

[@txtele]

Haven't watched any of your videos in a long time for some reason I'm not sure why but this one is pretty effing cool thank you for making it

[@tyleryork7942]

[@marquaviuslequavisdonvon-id3nv]

Sheesh she is stunning

[@nd-iy3dx]

Nice, Lex I feel your mind Battle looking at Her

[@annishenko]

[@pjetrs]

This reminds me of the book 'Children of Time', where smart-ass spiders build a society. Amazing Sci-Fi read!

[@vickiezaccardo1711]

I will have to check that out. Ever read Star- Maker by Olaf Stapledon?

[@hififlipper]

Unbelievable woman, to bring Tolstoi to a party.

[@Mozeart]

To bad what is happening to hr in the news right now, she really has something to offer the world.

[@GailRaisen-ku3pr]

This is partly what they used to grow my skin back

[@mhktheknight2630]

She gives me Harry Potter vibes

[@Frank-xs1kt]
