"Faith, which is a ratio between who you are and who you want to be." Beautiful.

[@dsanders401]

What a beautiful conversation. What an interesting way to see the world, our place in it, and how we impact or do not impact the outcomes of what's around us through our work and actions.

[@chaytonhurlow840]

A beautiful person, who's also a genius. That is really rare.

[@WizardSkyth]

Beauty: efficiency, pertinence and functionality.

[@BasedHadrian]

She’s beautiful that’s for sure

[@lkae4]

Yes but she needs to fix her hair. Hm, no one is perfect. Maybe that's why we all seek beauty.

[@JohnDoe-nq5pk]

But how deep is her nag? The ultimate question??

[@ATMyles]

What is beauty? Exhibit A: Her.

[@BasedHadrian]

@@lkae4he hair is insanely attractive like that idk she’s super good looking

[@whimbrella]

I can’t believe she’s 47, I need to know her skincare routine

[@gustinian]

Buckminster Fuller is essential reading (Alongside Dostoyevsky, Plato, Robert Anton Wilson, Oscar Wilde, Tolstoy and so on). His 40 hour (!) lecture 'Everything I Know' is a marathon yet unforgettably prescient.

[@ziloj-perezivat]

no hes not. never heard of him. total nobody

[@cyberdoofinator7827]

​@@ziloj-perezivati pity you

[@creatingconsciousness]

You’re so spot on

[@gustinian]

[@Hatrackman]

Gosh darn lex. Patience be with us all.

[@PAULSWorld131]

This woman is a beauty

[@gaivoron]

You are starting at it!

[@sbreslin41]

So interesting!

[@michaelreese7272]

The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety

[@MCtok11]

Emergence has an original complete blueprint, Empowerment is seeking.

[@julians7268]

She is absolutely stunning.

[@cryptocred5754]

Married to a billionaire….

[@julians7268]

@cryptocred5754 Even better! Lol. She didn't waste it.

[@cryptocred5754]

@@julians7268 I’m a capitalist so this isn’t a bash on the rich but her thing is beauty and she marries $. It’s ironic. To be fair, she also dated Brad Pitt

[@julians7268]

@@cryptocred5754 Dang Brad Pitt too?

[@joshshepherd5660]

Indeed....

[@MijoShrek]

From everything ive heard you speak on and your views about love and wondering when its gonna happen for you brother. That's the her, Lex. If she is not spoken for already. You best shoot yo shot primo.

[@emissary_kyle]

That ratio of fate was intense...I have to mull over that though for a while.

[@something-uj4eq]

Her accent is beautiful

[@pedroarroyo345]

Shea stunning

[@nanuk5243]

Beauty is personal or indviual, choice. You can't explain to others and others can't explain to you 😀

[@spacemonkey377]

She is beauty if i ever heard and saw it

[@soundmixerporter]

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I just came up with this very original concept.

[@jinks908]

Wow ... I'm definitely writing this down. We gotta set you up with a marketing team bro. This is gold. I'll have my people call your people we'll do lunch or something.

[@Dodginbulletzz]

Why did you write that twice?

[@justicewillprevail1106]

She's beautiful and smart. What a combination.

[@iamgratitudebecoming]

Beautiful.🔥❤

[@CostaApostolou]

Beauty is soul, full stop.

[@robdubent]

That’s something ugly people say.

[@chaytonhurlow840]

The most important things that are the foundation of the universe are: Goodness, Purpose, And Beauty

[@chaytonhurlow840]

If you aren't concerned with these three things. God might erase you.

[@chaytonhurlow840]

Thank God that, no matter where life might end up, the foundation of this creation is Good. And nothing can exist outside of it.

[@TestMeatDollSteak]

Finding something “beautiful” is a purely subjective experience that conscious beings undergo. It’s like asking “What is pain?”, and “What is pleasure?”

[@robdubent]

Whoa deep bruh. Lol

[@v4vun]

Practicing your pick up lines, I see

[@keith62970]

Bill is a lucky fella.

[@skaraborgcraft]

What is beauty? Its sitting across the table from you!

[@jonathantrauner3742]

Beauty is Agency

[@needfoolthings]

He can't even look her in the face asking that question.

[@ftc9258]

WTF? It's sitting right across the table, hitting you on your face, man.

[@Muchjoy..]

Very beautiful lady right there.. 🎉

[@oliveirasingson7592]

Omg she is 47...i though she was in her late 20's

[@DannyDusse]

Wrizz Lex🤝

[@alexdelvento1273]

It’s a word

[@nurgahaditia]

[@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib]

An innate appreciation for God, the original creator & his creations.

[@abigailindigo3208]

He's so attracted to her

[@luisestrada2954]

Let him cook 👨‍🍳

[@wesleymessina5713]

Lex got the riz. He gives the Flynn rider smolder.

[@July4.1776]

I’ve never been more confused in my life. This video might as well have been filmed in a foreign language. I didn’t understand one word of this video… does this mean I’m a dumbo?

[@evadaring622]

This is when we learn🤗

[@robdubent]

If you have a high school education you should at the very least know the vocabulary lol

[@July4.1776]

I guess it’s confirmed, I’m a dumbo.

[@July4.1776]

“Beauty is agency” que?

[@batchimegdamdindorj8557]

@@July4.1776😂😂😂😂 I don’t consider myself anywhere near mentally challenged but I don’t really get her I think her choice of words and sentence structure makes it a bit difficult to understand what she’s trying to say in other words she’s not that great in traversing her opinion but that doesn’t mean she’s not smart she’s just not a literary person maybe more or so inclined towards science hence her background.

[@pigslave3]

Lex, please, SEARCH for a woman. Only then will you know what beauty is..... It's worth the search...

[@trystdodge6177]

Looks like she has a chilly snatch.

[@robdubent]

Only because you’re weak and your simple mind and manhood can’t operate at her level. Stick to truck stops.

[@merrilllewis3926]

When she ponders beuty she needs only to look in the mirror.

[@seesnap]

She’s in love with herself

[@oled4503]

Well listening carefully to the whole podcast one can infer that though she's not in accordance with her husband's view on life, still staying with him since he's a rich investor. Very average, but Simps in comments would disagree

[@jamesmoran7511]

There is no beauty in the world. It's all chaos, pain and death.

[@hhandle]

Thats true at the surface but all beauty lies at the depth one should seek it

[@josiahgames2134]

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that doesn't work... Use more guns. Take for instance this heavy calibre tripod-mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you.

[@emmanueloluga9770]

Yeah, she is absolutely right and delightful on her reflective exposition. Also, you can’t spell Design without DEI … amirit bros? 🫠 … Jk Jk … I’m more of an IDE guy myself 😉 By the way, Lex experiences a Mentalgasm from 4:35-4:40 🤣
