He’s a little too naive
Love ya Lex and I know you have good intentions but I really loved your very early talks with computer scientists because
1) it was the only place to hear these people being interviewed
2) you had pointed questions because you were well versed in the subject matter
You sometimes still have these types of people on and those are good but now you typically have people on that already have access to platforms (written books, given other interviews, etc) that I think there are less value. And finally, the conversations are too one sided, you don’t have the subject matter expertise to push and find deeper understanding vs just summarizing the guests opinion that can already be obtained by reading their book or paper. The point of this format is to have a back and forth to push on and dig deeper that can’t come out of the medium of the written language.
The Guests! The Host! The Suit!
World class guests interviewed in long format by Lex. Lex is a Russian born American citizen and huge nerd. Honest and vulnerable with a friendly style. Great and interesting.
