1984, Gorge Orwell, summery by Lex Fridman.

9 posts in this topic

   Decent review of the book by Lex Fridman:

   What are your thoughts? marketing move? A good summery? Or has he failed to give a compelling summery?

   The Matrix is still superior though.

Damn you're gonna have to wait 58 minute for a reply. I like Lex but fucking hell does he talk like he's on a metric shit tonne of xanax. I'm gonna listen to his book series anyways despite his xanax addiction cause I've read most of the books on there.

There is always the option to change the speed of the video. Btw, thank you to clarify why I was watching Lex content and not knowing why I could not stand it. The pace of speaking is really a thing. 

Xanax kkkkk

   I am trying so hard to not be so evil and uncharitable to Lex Fridman and to not straw man him or anything, but I think he gave a good enough review of the Orwell stuff. Xanax though, honestly I've said WAY MORE nasty things, in a diss track about Lex Fridman, that Xanax addiction is a compliment compared to what I've written about him, but that aside, I hope this is a stylistic choice of presentation and not that he's hardwired to speak in such a slow slurred way. Maybe watching Leo's videos and a few podcasts, maybe even some Destiny videos has inoculated me to a slower paced form of speaking., or at least a longer form of delivery and presentation of a video.

   The moment he interviewed Kanye West, I knew his integrity was questionable.

For me if a talking head annoys me for the slow, mumbly way of speaking or even stuttering I simply stop listening the person for sometime or just stop listening completly.

And honestly,  even Leo Gura in his early videos, I could not follow it. Maybe even he himself cringe listening his early self. And I would understand since I dont miss at all the self I was 3 years ago,  ot even the self I was last year.

But today I like his way of deliver his message,  what I cant listen is  a Mooji ( sound stoned for me) or a Sadguru or Osho. Imagine a 3 hours video of Osho about any topic. I would sleep in the first 10 minutes. 

Maybe Lex think his way of speaking is romantic or so. Or he is inspired in the Rocky Balboa style.

   Hey guys, every time I comment on YouTube, there's always some YouTuber Channel with a strange nmae, like click here to follow me on Instagram, or with some number strings, sometimes with the profile pic of the YouTube Channel I've commented on. Has anyone experienced this? What do I do?

I did end up watching this video actually and I thought his book review was good. Shame he's such a baby and canning it because some meanies weren't nice to him on twitter.
