Not gonna lie Lex, your podcast and clips are slowly replacing Rogan on KZbin for me

[@Mr.Buttermaker]

Rogan went mainstream and like everything that goes mainstream it becomes just a mere representation. Hopefully Lex’s podcasts don’t follow the same trajectory

[@y.3.k]

This interview really helped me understand Cardano better. BULLISH on Cardano!

[@DarrenMalone253]

I can’t love this video clip more. Alex gets the deepest thinkers to let their thoughts flow. Charles Hoskinson is one of the greatest minds I have listened to in many years. Not just in Cardano and cryptocurrency but also his Way of thinking In making life better and more equtable for everyone through blockchain. ADA for life!

[@johnjennings3964]

i absolutely agree. no matter what you are just a blip in existence.

[@avaonalee]

I love everything about this. This is what I needed this morning

[@Woke-Fact-checked]

Most incredible podcast guest I’ve ever listened to.

[@TellMeMoreTMM]

What an incredible interview. I can tell Lex genuinely enjoyed it, wouldn't be surprised if we see Charles again soon.

[@jacob2236]

It wasn't about obtaining the Perfect Blossom, it was about what you were willing to do to get there. Journey Before destination Beautiful

[@space-ux1hh]

that Friday night Lex video drop that wasn’t expected, but definitely needed and appreciated ❤️

[@azielleonmontes5495]

Best in life To crush your enemies See them driven before you And hear the Lamentations of their woman

[@chrisgeronimo123]

Very good Conan by krom

[@marktwained]

Thank you, Lex. Keep this up. You are opening up thoughts that went unrealized before hearing some of these interviews.

[@eduardovaldez-modonese5517]

Charles sure loves a good story 🤣 I really enjoy listening to him, even when sometimes you’d just like a simple 5-10 word answer. That’s not his strength. I really love when he says an important point of life is to find a way to be ok no matter what misfortune comes your way. That’s actual happiness and freedom, I think.

[@oscarmike4596]

Well said.

[@anthonycryptocards721]

Love me some Charles, story telling, or crypto enlightenment. He excels in both!

[@nkurns]

What a great interview. I'm grateful I discovered both Lex and Charles. Thanks youtube

[@bulletinthewind]

3:25 Charles: Gives final comment on his deep philosophical thoughts regarding the meaning of life. Lex: “You’re also a fan of fishing, I read somewhere.” OK then.

[@lukemeyer7936]

hoskinson is a great speaker.

[@swissuav9273]

[@drosein4020]

Truly a great answer!!

[@FrankCambara]

Amen brother

[@deejayrelapz6903]

those words i took them in. good answer charles

[@juancarlospenarodriguez2826]

Bring him back Lex , Charles is an interesting guy

[@roymillsjnr5172]

life is living in the moment doing what you want to do and making the world a bit better in simple ways👍

[@baconchronicles]

The meaning of life is def found in this podcast. For sure. Maybe. Or not. it’s a podcast

[@TheSoggiestSao]

Everyone that Lex speaks to should expect this big question 😂 Love it

[@nebojsa1976]

Meaning of life is not to have meaning or purpose. Sounds opposite of everything, but it is true.

[@patrickirwin3662]

This guy has never rolled a stone up a hill for eternity.

[@denenterver67]

Love or hate this man, one thing is clear, he is really effing smart.

[@juniorlara2394]

I like that he asks different people about this to get their share on what they think the meaning of life is

[@randyolsen4050]

I encourage anyone reading this to look up Joseph Campbell and his masterwork “Hero with a thousand faces”… there he chronicles ‘The Hero’s Journey’…. You will find what you are searching for there

[@hungusthefungus3461]

Also recommended 'The Meaning of Myth'- Videos Free on You Tube.

[@hktrading8485]

Absolutely respect and love Charles. A gift to crypto.

[@izekbalzly7041]

Beautiful philosophical response. Thank you.

[@joeroganpodfantasy42]

1:20 The same thing the American founding fathers said "The pursuit of happiness"

[@e.o9470]

nice touch on that father of Cardano!

[@akiotatsuki2621]

That is def the best answer soo far

[@paulpav1198]

A beautiful discussion. Amor Fati brother

[@Woke-Fact-checked]

The meaning of life is to love something or someone. The meaning of the universe is for consciousness to become aware of itself.

[@caffeinegamer7936]

In regards to the Japanese story. This is basically the same story/meaning behind Only Fools and Horses, for those UK watchers out there!

[@krillnukem892]

make the most of your blip, wise words.

[@SmallSmartDecicions]

This guy is great

[@bigreaper7425]

The more advanced we get the more we complicate the meaning to life. I wonder if it's more simple.

[@HendrikStarke]

Anyone knows what that story about the Shogun is called ?

[@jweebo1463]

Every last living thing on Earth requires Humans to A: Not fuck it up and B: Un-fuck any potentially fuckable situation. I think we should spread life as far and fast as we can.

[@meditaionnation7692]

Charles i love charles from morocco #ada

[@hochha]

"Meaning of Life" Process of determining who will live and who will die, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

[@johndussin5004]

DCA ADA !

[@Indiadagreat18]

What is the meaning of pen without an ink? What is the meaning of ocean without water? Meaning of life is simple for me We all are born as unrefined, incomplete and dependent animals But to go to our graves as a refined somewhat enlightened and dependable humans. This very journey of a man from being an animal to becoming a human - in the course of birth to death is the very meaning of life.

[@Underwoodforyou]

The really meaning of life is that everything exist for Jesus the Messiah. Everything exists for Him and His purpose.

[@booobsize]

Heard that somewhere, can't relate!

[@jambo_404]

id love to see lex with sunglasses and a baseballcap

[@dm20422]

[@whywearehere3363]

The porpose of life is one thing and what the masses of people think is the porpose of life is other thing.

[@banik5213]

Wise.

[@davidperez9263]

I underestimated this man. Seems so well rounded. Bitcoin maximalist had me thinking different. 5 hours with Charles, Thank you! Just bought more ADA.

"Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment" -- Mahatma Gandhi

[@debralucas2224]

This is why I start projects but rarely finish them.

[@Spoonersoutings]

The meaning of LIFE ?? Is to experience everything. To smell, to Touch, to feel, to hear, to hate, to understand, to not understand, to feel pain, to feel love, to give love. To evolve, to share, To loose some one, to make life, The meaning of life is everything that is what it is. Once you have truly experienced everything you will know and understand the true meaning of the meaning of life. Once everyone understands the world will be an amazing place and experience

[@SuperBaby11]

Charles hoskinson is as philosophical and smart as Peterson if not smarter

[@ES-qe1nh]

Strange comparison

[@johnurcioli8781]

As a subscriber.. I know you are you seem intelligent but once you close your eyes and start stammering..You appear incoherent..maybe its a stage thing but it’s obvious..but your guests are great 👍

[@hochha]

(6:20) "Scar or something" Lex you bring on such vicious, callous guests, no respect for the catfish.

[@andrewcarranza1562]

hes just like me...

[@tellaaalli]

Interesting... for a guy who loves math, which is an abstract concept I wonder how he didn't look at God as meaning of life, that transcends all the things we do and ought to do.

[@Jack-gf9ub]

Ever considered the Bible? Just even considered it?

[@freeze_peach]

The Bible is a book made by mankind and shouldn't be something followed 100% of the time. The entire point of what's written in the Bible is no different from what any moral philosopher has said in mankind's history. It all boils down to "being good people" and "becoming better people". Even some avid believers of God are found to be murderers and even those who have not met God are capable of living moral and good lives. The scriptures written in the Bible do not make you a good person but rather its your own actions, beliefs, and how you interact with other people is what really determines whether you lived a life through God's word or not. Its not based on what religion you are currently are and its not based on what book of rules you are following. It's HOW you live your life, and that's partially what Charles is on about. If you believe in God, then live a life wherein you do not judge others and guide other people to do good. If you don't believe, then at least live a life that you enjoy and believe to be moral and good. Reading the entire Bible may not be a good source of finding the meaning of life as it is also riddled by the biases and flaws of the people that wrote them. Always remember that God did not write the Bible, because if he did, then no one would've been so confused as to what they should believe in.

[@juanito714ok]

It always amuses me to listen to heathens discuss the meaning of life. If there is no soul that continues to live after the body dies, there is NO meaning. Then, many of our brightest heathen scientists say free will doesn't exist so, that also lends itself to zero meaning. My dad was a relatively wealthy man. He told me that he could lose everything and would be no less happy. It was due to his relationship with God/Jesus. This was all laid out for us a long time ago in Ecclesiastes. All is vanity under the sun. You have to look elsewhere if you want to find meaning.

[@jpined14]

Its more amusing to hear a human believe all the answers are written in ancient Jewish texts. Arrogant and foolish. Especially as you are using human technological advances to even be able to post your comment.

[@juanito714ok]

@@jpined14 Who believes that? I don't think I've ever heard of such a person. Most folks understand that text of any kind was not so ubiquitous just a few hundred years ago and, illiteracy was widespread not so long ago. Straw man much?

[@vladdydaddy6954]

First lol

[@jerickodoggo9595]

I love Lex MORE!
