[@spacebookpub3376]

Dear prof. Saad, thank you, thank you, thank you. You are so spot on and your sarcasm is priceless. I used to be a huge follower of Lex way back when he was focused on science and technology. His guests were luminaries in different fields from physics to quantum computing. How did it go so wrong? I tweeted, reached out via IG and even LinkedIn to ask Lex to stand up and act like the person he really is, a Russian Jewish man. What a pity! What a waste! He could be so influential in raising the awareness about the true situation in Israel and the growing antisemitism in the diaspora given his huge following. His interview with Netanyahu was an early tip off. Then, after 10/7 came his interview with Elon Musk who was preaching to the Israelis to just turn the other cheek and with John Meirsheimer (too infuriating to even discuss). So I am so glad that you share my sentiment about Lex (I'm dismissing Greta outright). I only wish that you were at Concordia when I was studying there, almost 30 years ago. Be well.

[@qwikaces8813]

I have to admit I appreciate you pointing out the faults in lex. I think he is incredibly naive. I enjoy his podcast. This is mainly due to how amazing his guests are. So all credit to him. He is a 40 year old gifted student that never left school. As Schopenhauer would say, lex spent his entire life reading about events without living them.

[@allyourbase888]

I’m not so sure about that. He regularly goes straight into difficult areas to assess the situation first hand (Ukraine, Palestinian Territory-West Bank). He also lived in Soviet Russia. That’s a fair amount of non textbook experience. More than most all of us. With that said, I agree with Professor Saads sentiment, “Now is not the time for that naive Lex. STFU.”

[@matthew568]

Lex is trash. I dont know how he became popular.

[@googleisskynet7312]

I don't really trust anyone's view on this if they have some kind of metaphorical "dog in the fight." There are multiples layers of tribalism involved in this conflict. The religious Judaism/Christianity v. Islam divide is just the façade which, at the end of the day, is really just a false dichotomy. Underneath that is a political dichotomy where left/right centrists are aligned against left/right radicals because of multitude of different factors...namely anti-colonialism, anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, anti-Europeanism, and purported anti-fascism. This creates some strange bedfellows to say the least. You'll see secular libertarians motivated purely by politics aligning themselves with religious authoritarians. Likewise, you'll see a communist motivated purely by politics siding with religious authoritarians on the other side of the conflict. Then there is the ethnic component of it all, which is sort of hiding in plain view behind the other two layers of conflict. It's just a complete mess, and I fear it can't possibly end well. It's just too complicated of a conflict to resolve peaceably.

[@plumrains5010]

He went to the West Bank so your last bit isn't entirely accurate. But agreed he's definitely naive

[@sbaumgartner9848]

I really like Lex but I'm fine with Gad taking shots at him. Grim Greta on the other hand has nothing to offer the world. Why people pay attention to her being the grand spokesperson on every topic she decides to pontificate about is beyond me. @@plumrains5010

[@tjrrind1452]

[@Tehownilator]

This is sad. The idea that an adult would make a decision based on what some foolish child thinks, just because they dislike her opinions so much, should be embarrassing. But unlike most Israel supporters, I won’t claim that the existence of this kind of pettiness and foolishness within their ranks necessarily means that all of their arguments are bad. I still don’t know which side to believe; but what I can say for sure is that one side is pretending that there is no such thing as slight of hand.

[@drlca6601]

The "Israel-Palestine" issue needs no side taken if you have no dog in the fight. Just condemn all the murder and hatred and call it a day. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. The only moral interaction you can have with the conflict is one of maintaining peace and condemning violence. It's just that simple.

[@logiboy123]

"Call it a day." By all means, let's do that, and sleep well because up here on Mt. Olympus, we are above such petty squabbles. Why don't those guys just act like us? Now, if you will excuse me, I need to sharpen my lightning bolts.

[@Razear]

Lex is someone that comes across as trying to be liked by everyone so he avoids taking steadfast positions on divisive issues. He seems more concerned about not being bombarded by haters than by being unapologetically authentic.

[@annishenko]

I agree to some degree. I was however happy to see him during the Kanye West podcast. It was the only time I remember seeing that side of him. It was nice !

[@simonegregoire2004]

I like Lex. He has a certain kind of wisdom that works in peacetime. It does not work in times of war. One of the many problems with our current age is that different types of people don’t recognize when it’s their time to shine and their time to sit down and listen. That kind of humility isn’t fashionable. Social media gurus must comment sagely on everything, even when it lies far from their area of expertise, knowledge, or even natural inclination. Now is a time for hard, mature, realistic men. Yes, I said men. I’m a woman and I would feel a lot better hearing from these types of men right now.

Fortunately, the vast majority of muslims don't subscribe to the texts literally despite the best efforts of Wahabbis and Diobandi's to export it.

Very glad to hear this. One of Lex's videos popped up on autoplay and I almost drove off the road. He's an idiot that doesn't live in the real world. He is one of the most aloof commentators imaginable. KZbin/social media has made many commentators more famous than they are supposed to be. This event that took place over the last 1-2 weeks has gotten all of the worms to crawl to the surface. Its probably time for everyone of us to take a look at who we have been listening to for the last few years and do a serious analysis of who they are and what they are saying. Much of the 2010's commentators are inert. They have rode the KZbin wave of fame but have wore out their welcome into our minds.

Seems like Lex voluntarily wants to remain naive, probably to save himself from the brutality of the world. but he must recognize that at his stature he needs to stand upright, his mollycoddeld world of rainbow doesn't exist in reality and not everyone believes in love like him (some would want to end him listening to no reason)

[@kaktus977]

Lex is a bit naive about some things snd say some stupid stuff, but I don't think he deserved this.

[@robertcarpenter3020]

And thus we put an end to love on planet earth. Eye for an eye and tooth for tooth seems to be the only way we know how to settle disputes any more. They kill yours, you kill theirs. I really don’t want to live with the last people standing after we’ve all killed each other.

[@seankovarik4444]

Attack the guy calling for love over war. Good call Gad. Lets all keep cheering on war crimes instead hey?

[@axenheim]

Gad, an amazing analysis, both entertaining and spot-on! Thanks so much!!

[@marshal6013]

To be fair, Lex has been to the warzones. He's talked to Palestinian street vendors and locals and uploaded a video. He doesn't just sit in his house. However I find he's hiding something or being a hypocrite because he'd rather talk to Putin and Hitler than sit down with you. In light recent events few have stuck to their principles... Murray, Kelley, Rubin, have all backtracked on freedom of speech. Thank you for sticking to your principles

[@letzrock1675]

If he’s been to war zones then how did he come to the conclusion that loving your neighbors who want to kill you and your family/community is the answer? Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire…that means dropping some bombs.

[@marshal6013]

@letzrock1675 well he has been to warzones, not if. You can watch the videos on his channel. He's blinded by this idea that you can just love everyone and compassion away all the violence. He'd be right if he weren't talking about 4th century barbarians

[@santibanks]

@@marshal6013 still awaiting his videos from Ukraine… He name dropped it so many times now and keeps referring to it but it feels like virtue signalling.

[@marshal6013]

@@santibanks idk if he released ukraine videos... I only saw the palestine one

[@chefdalling637]

Great chat Gad!

[@cortezcabret9408]

I agree with you about Lex. Greta, who cares, she’s really a child. But Lex is a grown up child. I’ve noticed that about him, his naïveté is dangerous. He strikes me as the kind of person that would say “let’s hear what Hitler has to say; let’s give him a chance”. He’s not a bad person at all, and I think he means well, but having an intact moral compass is more important than good intentions.

[@eddavis1832]

Thank you Gad! We need strong voices like yours during these difficult times!

[@nathanmiechle4722]

I’m dying laughing after just the first 45 seconds of the video. How he does it with a straight faces makes it that much funnier 😂

[@joanr3189]

Thank you for this tough talk.

[@Hoodwinkers]

Lex's idealism appeals to the naive, self-righteous, and ideological types. It is virtuous, even God-like, to be so accepting... appealing at face value, but functionally empty for us mere mortals. Thanks for calling him out so accurately.

[@Jorbz150]

I don't think Lex is "accepting". In fact I don't think that's a state of mind. To accept something is to not accept that which is in opposition to it. I think he just happens to accept certain things with which you disagree.

[@Hoodwinkers]

Refusing to taking a stance is a form of acceptance; if I don't separate the wheat from the chaff, I am in a state of acceptance that all is equal. There is no state of opposition if you accept it all. The naive think that's a cheat but it's not@@Jorbz150

[@blakej6416]

Gad, your wit never ceases to make me laugh! Thank you.

[@zoricarv7963]

Lol “what type of a monster would pick on a 40 year old child? “

[@mineau9728]

Your way of presenting your ideas/perspectives is not only inspiring to me, but your delivery frequently causes me to laugh out loud. Your dry delivery is missed by people like Lex and Greta. I cannot wait until each episode. Thank you for being you. Time for a re-read for Parasitic Mind.

[@JociJane]

Oh my Gaad! I want to come back as your neighbor in the next round.

[@thermalreboot]

I remember when Bill Clinton had gotten Israel to agree to a 2 state solution and Arrafat said no. Not sure where you go from there.

[@Rampart.X]

So it's Clinton's way or the highway, huh.

[@bombchus]

If you have an automatic rifle and someone is shooting at you with a bow.... do you shoot back or go get a bow?

[@r10lab41]

He blocked you because you have trouble chaining your hatred. Can't believe how you talked about bassem youssef and lex, it's hard not to feel the toxicity of your thoughts.

[@jonnybarlow3248]

"Gravity based liberation", Gad Saad; 2023.

[@DirkSorensby]

And I think Lex is the only "genius" AI developer who hasn't developed anything.

[@elenabob4953]

He worked for Boston Dynamics and others so he developped a lot of stuff.

[@wreagfe]

Apart from his clearance level at the CIA you are correct.

[@brittybee6615]

I see comments like these once in a while but I can’t figure out what the purpose of planting him would be?

[@realMaverickBuckley]

Yeah but he does Brazilluan Jiu-jitsu and wears an Agent suit.

[@TheJasonWrightShow]

Reminds me of Neil DeGrasse Tyson..Scientist who aren’t known for science but lecturing…

The sarcasm is golden.

[@NorthLVLowRoller]

"If you dont have anything good to say, dont say anything at all" My Grandma told me this about 1000 tines growing up.

[@Voltroc]

And yet here he is not saying anything good and still saying it.

[@MsDamosmum]

So what is going on with Gabor Matè? I have heard long commentary from other Jews too (who’s family members were holocaust survivors) but they support Palestine?!

[@EdwinSteiner]

Thumbs up for "40-year-old child"! I wish I could upvote again for "Mr. All-Inclusive" and all the other brilliant burns in this video.

[@martinheath5947]

Two of the world's leading intellectuals, take heed everybody!

[@actualkevin]

Again, everybody forgets KEYWORD STUFFING leading intellectuals. It’s what makes them leading.

[@SoulAir]

15 year old girl is leading all conservatives intellectually, but the rest of us she's just a 15 year old

[@califoo]

7:40 "they have this really liberating conversion program that is gravity based" hahahahaha 😂

[@JCChavz]

Thank you for being the one to finally call him out on his bullshit. I don’t know how anyone can sit through an entire Lex Friedman podcast without wanting to jump off a bridge in the name love.

[@lukelucy1980]

You're such a good man, you've taught me so much. I'm sad for all of us that suffer from the human violation of 10-7. I'v no relationship to the religion or the inflected people, still my heart hurts. Like many, I suffer to know that another human has such a degree of hate in theirs. For every day that passes, I now thank God that that I lived another day without experiencing hell.

[@juliorosa9857]

"gravity based program". priceless!

[@Fedoratip79]

My primary school teacher said the same thing about if you don't have something worth saying. That's all I have to say.

[@milton7763]

Now I’d like to hear Gad’s opinion on Bret Weinstein’s hypothesis on what happened…

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

Beautifully put, and I dearly hope that lovely loving Lex will have a discussion with you at some point.

[@Wilson_the_Mannequin]

Harsh. Lex doesn't deserve that Religion is largely causing this conflict. If people focused on the more positive parts of their religions maybe that would help...

[@SimonRoss-sv5tb]

Gravity based conversion, Ricky Gervais would love that line 😂

[@hlits6310]

I don’t mind Lex Fridman too much, but I think you’re spot on Gad! He does try to be all things to all people. Thank you Gad you’re always on the money.
