Like many here, I have mixed feelings regarding Lex.
Last time I heard him, he started the podcast saying that he “fears nothing and no one”, which of course means he's either extremely immature or a psychopath. I'm betting in the former.
For whatever reason, he manages to get great guests, so I keep listening. I wouldn't say I tolerate him because he mostly doesn't get in the way of the interview much. Which is good, but the bare minimum for a good host.
I used to listen to Rogan a few years ago, but it has become unbearable to me and the Spotify exclusivity deal was the push that I needed to stop completely.
With Lex, I keep coming back, reluctantly, so I guess he's got something going with his show.
Edit: oh, and Carmack is a legend, I'll listen to him with almost any interviewer.
- spfzero 4y agoThe fact that he's opening a podcast with that, lets you know that he's talking about "fear" in a very narrow sense: of how he questions conversationally, and how he chooses podcast guests. It doesn't mean he's a psychopath.
- tambourine_man 4y agoThere’s no such thing as no fear, no matter how narrow you constrain its scope. It’s ignorance, hubris, naïveté, dishonesty, etc. Anything but bravery.
