It depends on what you want from the conversation. If you want to "win" and have the other person look bad and you look good, Piers' way might be better. If you want to "win" and come away from the conversation with a mutual understanding and a positive relationship, Lex's way is probably better.

[@ethanstump]

@@WanderTheNomad but few people actually want to live like that, making people look bad, and generally they don't actually like it, coming from someone who has done that. that being said, i often do think it's a false dichotomy, to believe that it's either possible to foster positive relationship's, or to be correct. you can be both or neither at the same time, you can be correct and respectful, or correct and disrespectful, and generally i do believe that more people will examine their belief's when they don't feel disrespected. that being said, i do believe some people are too far gone, and even with being logical and respectful, there are some people you just won't reach. but if you have a decent mix of both, you will be far more effective than if you are just logical, or just loving.

One thing to keep in mind is that hate isn’t a lack of love. It’s not like a void of it, that’s what apathy is. He might be lashing out hatefully, but it’s coming from a point of passion. Even if his hate is fixated on the wrong things. You cannot truly win an argument against a person you don’t understand. Having the capacity to empathize where your opponent is coming from is one of the strongest tools you can have in a debate. Your goal in an argument isn’t to crush your opponent but to lift them to your understanding, because you can’t win someone over by alienating them.

Great breakdown of the 2 situations. Question: what happens a few days after? Does Ye change his behaviour towards all? Or does he reflect? Or is it just going to be one individual at a time?

[@Vampress09]

That's what I'm thinking. There are people are just beyond any reasoning. They have dug their feet in at their stance and won't budge no matter how you approach them.

[@iambojangles4115]

I noticed in Ye's Insta posts shortly after the interview he stopped saying "Jewish media" and said something like red media.. can't remember the term exactly and he deletes his posts but that struck me as development.

[@NA-nz9lv]

honestly I've never aspired to be like web personalities because you can't really know how they are in everyday life but what I can say is that I aspire to be as good in conversations as Lex is, every interview he does is great and gives so much insight in both his guests and himself.

[@TZeroZeroOne]

I enjoy this channel, and appreciate the effort in collecting the actual examples. I understand that your goal is to improve communications when the other side is not listening, changing the subject, committing logical fallacies or otherwise not playing fair. Nonetheless, I wish you would come up with videos with the same examples but for the purpose of alerting people that they may be employing such unhelpful tactics without realizing it. There is a need for referees.

[@GroundbreakGames]

Being correct does not mean being persuasive. That is some stone cold truth right there. Great vid!

[@AndrewRMontoya]

Great breakdown

[@CanWeGetDeep]

The movie scenes and interview scenes going on in the background are perfect, and extremely relevant to what the narrator is saying. If you’ve seen the movies, it’s just perfect.

[@AlismonitesPatrides]

Wow. Lex is strong!

[@YouilAushana]

I have "personally" been through a lot compared to most. I accepted that most people are shallow, superficial and ignorant. Its lonely at times but peaceful most of the time.

[@johnjosmith42]

Must say, this was a great vid 👏 thank you 🇬🇧

[@cutrugs5676]

One of my favorite channels talking on one of my favorite channels! Thanks for highlighting the genius of Lex in this interview!

[@WilliamJonesChess]

Key Moments Notes = big moments from the video. Square brackets are my own thoughts. 1:20 Its tough, man. Its tough. I hear you. I hear you. 2:26 Use a calm voice to explain yourself. Lex says 'With all due respect' then ends with 'I have to push back' [This is such a professional way to handle this argument. ] 3:40 Lex got so angry when he said JM. Wow. 4:07 [I wonder if Lex has said the following phrase before to disarm a situation: 'It is funny how this world works.' I wonder if this phrase is pre-planned for difficult conversations just as a way to take a step back. ] Fascinating phrase. 4:33 Mr Bean: do not negatively label the whole person 4:55 well put, I agree, I agree. Give out positive feedback to build rapport Do not keep positive thoughts to self, and negative thoughts out loud 5:53 You are under a lot of attack. A lot of attack. [Nice to repeat a phrase back to a person to ensure they are being heard] You have a vision [ This is such a positive thing to say. It forces Kanye to like Lex] 6:05 It is a wonderful life though. [Does Kanye mean this? It did not sound real] 6:24 Be vulnerable when you feel a negative emotion 'This is silly coz u don't know me. But it hurt when you said you don't trust me. You lost me.' [This was such an interesting moment in this video. Even I felt hurt when this happened. Maybe because this comment is attacking Lex's overall identity. Maybe Lex sees himself as a trusting person] 7:10 Nice moment: Or I could be opening up conversations with new friends I may trust some day. 9:18 A great man still through the pain does the right thing [ Hey, that rhymes!] These are my top moments from this video. How about you? What were your top moments?

Thanks for the donation and shoutout to Charity Water!! Top tier charity undeniably doing amazing things.

[@themightypen1530]

Lex is the GOAT.

[@janzalud216]

this is so valuable. i try to ease the arguments in corporate workplace setting by these ways too. I fail often (as by nature im a rather selfish, opinionated person), but i am somewhat less horrible person to be around (according to how the feedbacks have been developing).

[@FromGroundToMud]

I get (and even share) the point Kanye is trying to make, but I agree with Lex on how to articulate the communication of that point.

[@adamlevy8971]

I'm not clear on what Kanye's point was. Could you clarify that for me?

[@salvatoreharvey3520]

I’m two videos into your channel. Already, as an “introverted person”, I’m looking forward to watching/listening to the rest of your videos and the videos to come.

[@mimimerlot77]

Very important topic. I wish I could find the right words without losing my calm like Lex. How do you handle someone who is prone to long monologues and literally doesn't listen to what you're saying? (talking about my father who only looks up from his lecture when you start screaming...) That's been bugging me for a lifetime - I really would like to have a real discussion with him sometimes instead of a one sided speech and just don't know how to do that.

[@sofiaescobar4455]

That must be incredibly frustating, just imagining it in my head makes me upset :/. I hope you find some things that work for your specific situation within the variety of amazing videos and resources on the internet. Good luck!

[@nwilliams38]

Beautiful breakdown and Lex did a beautiful job in this interview

[@tHa1Rune]

What about a video on how to remain stoic when being abused/incessantly harassed verbally?

[@quevelljones812]

I honestly aspire to be that well quipped In Handling disagreements as smoothly as he did. Well done Lex 💯

[@yogawithdenise]

Wow, what a breakdown…bravo!👏🙌👏 ❤️Lex!! Perhaps Ye will emerge a better human after all this.🤞🏼

[@MrMustangMan]

i doubt it.... he's a 🐖

[@thecommonsensecapricorn]

I admire Lex deeply. He’s just a truly good hearted person, I hope nothing ever comes out to make us see otherwise.

[@davidogundipe808]

You should also do the Ronaldo and Pierce interview and how to better yourself with it, or something like that.

[@Adamtfrank]

I had to watch the lex podcast over a few days but I was so impressed with his stoicism and empathy. We can all learn from this

[@blazept567]

Damn it... you're 9 hours too late... 😆 I just had an argument with a neighbour who was being the worst person to talk to. Seemed like a robot. I didn't lose my composure, but I sure as hell could have made a better impression... Please keep posting these videos. You guys are awesome.

[@kokolanza7543]

Good for not losing your composure. Practice makes perfect.

[@_emory]

I’m really glad I got to see this side of the interview
