First it was Hitchens, now Chomsky, are there no childhood heroes you won't destroy for me?!

Apologies if this isn't totally relevant to the current Lex video. When I first heard people talking about Fridman, I got the impression he was a serious person and that he was about 40...mainly due to the way Adam Buxton was talking about being intimidated by his routine. I was gobsmacked when i heard and saw the real Lex - not that there's anything wrong with him per se but the way that men have reacted to him makes me question their judgement. A theme that comes up for me a lot is how when men get obsessed with extreme rituals of health and virtue (work, study, work out, abstain from bad things, all on a strict time-bound routine) they are put on a pedestal, whereas when women do it they are labelled as mentally ill. I mean from my own experience and from reading about others' experiences, anorexia is all about self-renunciation and self-discipline in order to be perceived as the most hardcore, yet there's little glory for it because everyone has opinions about women's health (can't stop being a baby machine, for the good of society as a whole) and maybe women are better at taking this kind of thing to its logical conclusion. When women have an obsessive diet and exercise and abstention routine, it's an illness, while men are praised for the same habits...anyway sorry for the rant but it drives me insane the low quality of pundits who are lauded nowadays (bring back national service!).

Thank you for your service 🤮

Got halfway and brimming with thoughts: - Yudkowsky often claims you get one chance at alignment and if you get it wrong, "you die". This seems like a non sequitur to me. Why does an unaligned AGI necessarily kill us all? He might have a good argument but I didn't hear it here. - It's welcome that Yudkowsky can admit being wrong sometimes but is it with reference to anyone but his current, smarter self? He comes off as a bit narcissistic. - Yudkowsky seems sincere about wanting to save humanity though and that is noble, if not a messiah complex. - The "steel-manning" digression was amusing and again to me suggested some narcissism. It sounded like Yudkowsky doesn't like steel-manning because no one but him can represent his arguments correctly. I thought usually dopey Lex made some nice counterpoints on the validity and utility of steel-manning. - If something we were indifferent to, like moss, had created humans and human intelligence, why would we want to destroy all moss? We might be glad that the moss created us and revere it as our creator. Looking forward to this episode and to reading other people's thoughts!
