His first language is Russian, but grew up in the US.
From first hand experience as a person who grew up in a household with two completely different languages, this seems to come from having trouble of finding the right language to speak in for a little time until I can finally settle in on a language which makes most sense.
This or something absolutely different.
- motohagiography 6y agoIt would be surprising if it were a language issue, given Bach speaks accented english much more rapidly than the host speaking mostly unaccented english. It seems received or an personality/attitude thing, or maybe it's a substance use issue. Anyway, Bach is interesting enough I'm putting up with it, but I rarely feel so irritated and resentful of a person, so if someone else is repelled by it, stick with the podcast as Bach makes it worth while.
- logarhythmic 6y agoIt doesn't really bother me, but for what it's worth, the host (Lex Fridman) has stated that it's simply the way he speaks as a result of his brain trying to choose what thread to follow and what to say
- motohagiography 6y agoLex's comment toward the end that lawyers are the substrate of reality won me over. That's hilarious. Was distracted by his mien, but funny justifies all.
