Lex Fridman and Douglas Murray on Ukraine: Can a Man of Peace Understand War?

The brave man of peace, Lex Fridman, brings his signature blend of naive platitudes and faux centrism to the Ukraine war. Joined this time by Douglas Murray, who, despite his usual faults, actually pushes back on Lex’s Putin apologetics. A rare case of Lex getting challenged on his path to podcast enlightenment.

I know there are supposed to be benefits to a bit of Lex first thing in the morning, but I’m just not in the mood. My Lex drive is low and a lack of Lex appeal is just a sign of my advancing age. If I’m feeling Lexy later I might have a go. I’m not like you youngsters, who constantly have Lex on the brain…

Can’t get Mc Cartney’s Pipes of Peace out of my head now … Thanks !

41:53 -42:41 Lex’s body language!!!

I rewatched Taxi driver the other night, and felt there was a weird similarity between Travis Bickle and Lex. Gods lonely man 🥺

Somewhere over the rainbow, Lex Fridman sighs, “There’s a land of peace that I heard of once in a lullaby.”

Lex is just SUCH a bell end. Honestly, he makes me want to cringe myself inside fucking out. It’s so hard to watch. What the fuck must it be like to BE?

I wonder if someone were to break into Lex's home. Would he negotiate which of his personal belongings or family members he'd give up to get them to leave? Shake hands and call it a successful outcome?

I feel like if I became a podcaster my approach would be similar to Lex’s, not because I agree with him on political issues but just because I’m very bad at making conversation. But apparently there’s a great deal of money to be made as a dumb person doing podcasts, so I’m in the wrong business. I’m going to get an LLM to start pumping out pro Musk and pro Rogan propaganda until I am able to ingratiate myself with them, then launch my own podcast now that I have studied the gurus sufficiently! 🚀

I swear i tried listening to this but i just can’t… my body and soul are unanimously allergic to lexatives

João Barbosa

Is this the same released in audio a few days ago?

Frances goulart

Lex reminds me of that last- minute- not-quite -up -to -the challenge high school substitute teacher...

Chris Wishy

Guys I’m going to have to consider leaving Patreon after making me listen to Lex’s song to Rogan. I can’t deal with that level of cringe 😂👌

I'm guessing the "I recommend visiting the places, as Douglas and I have" thing (at 5:38) is a dig at Dave Smith? It's such an innocuous-sounding suggestion on its face, who can argue against it, but it's either so obvious an advice that it's silly even to mention it like it's a revelation, or it miserably fails to make any sense as soon as you take it seriously for three seconds. You want me to visit an active war zone so I'm permitted to have an opinion on Ukraine? Risk getting snipered down or trampled over by bulldozers (remember Rachel Corrie) by IDF in Gaza, or at the least go through bureucratic rituals of humiliation via check points in West Bank until I'm allowed to think apartheid bad? Insufferable.
