There are 7,000+ known living languages. This diagram shows the # of native speakers for each language. More people speak a dialect of Chinese than speak English natively. This makes me wonder how much is lost in translation.

For me, it's never okay to betray a friend. Not for any amount of money, power, sex, or fame.
Great lifelong friendships is one of the most awesome aspects of our time here on Earth.

I meditate on my mortality every day when I wake up. I imagine that this is the last day I get to live on this Earth, because one day it will be, and that day could be today. It helps bring clarity about what matters.
I'm grateful to be alive. Life is beautiful.
I love you all.

I'm slowly learning that some people who are intelligent & kind in real-life can be real assholes online.
I hope this changes as social media algorithms improve. But in the mean time, I'll just take stuff said online less seriously.
Love you all ❤

I was just made aware that the last two podcasts I did with George Hotz are exactly the same duration, to the second 🤯 Notice how the topics include:
- Hacking the simulation
- AGI & God
This universe is full of strange coincidences 👀

Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 2nd time on the podcast. We talk about the future of AI at Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, both near-term open source development of AI and the journey of human civilization toward building AGI.
Python 2 is now officially retired. Python 3 was released 11 years ago. Watching companies and research communities transition for way longer than expected is yet another reminder that change is hard, especially change that breaks backward compatibility.

I got a chance to witness the Neuralink demo in person today & chat with brilliant folks from all over including Elon Musk. I'm really impressed by the visit. The Neuralink team is taking on some of the most exciting challenges in engineering & science today.
Here's my conversation with Kevin Spacey, a two-time Oscar winning actor, who has created powerful haunting performances of characters who often embody the dark side of human nature.
As I've said before, I will talk to everyone, with empathy and with backbone. I won't whitewash their sins, but I won't reduce them to a worst-possible-caricature of their sins either. This is what outrage mobs and click-bait journalists too often do, rushing to judgment before the facts are in. I will try to do better than that: to respect due process in service of the truth. And I hope to have the courage to always think independently, and to speak honestly and with compassion, even when the eyes of the outrage mob are on me.
We discuss the allegations in this conversation and reference further details. Briefly: 7 years ago, Kevin Spacey was canceled, when Anthony Rapp made a sexual allegation against him, and then filed a civil lawsuit seeking $40 million dollars. In this trial and all civil and criminal trials that followed, Kevin was acquitted. He has never been found guilty nor liable in the court of law.
Again, my goal is to understand human beings, at their best and at their worst. And the hope is such understanding leads to more compassion and wisdom in the world.
I will make mistakes, and when I do, I will work hard to improve.
I love you all.

Identity politics is an outrage machine, fueled by dogmatic extremes from both sides.
Ignore the outrage online. I think it doesn't represent the majority. Most people are sensible and kind.

This beautiful clip of Kobe explaining the game to his daughter last month breaks my heart. Tragedy can strike at any moment. Tell those close to you that you love them, today and often.
History of physics in a few sentences. Mostly this is just for lols, but it's true that the number of mysteries that physics may help shine a light on in the next 100 years is exciting.
I really enjoyed talking to the brilliant Andrew Huberman on his podcast. He is an incredible scientist, educator, and human being, and I'm honored to be able to call him a friend. Check out his podcast on YouTube and everywhere else: https://lnkd.in/eTRXxqQ
Hard work in itself can be a source of happiness. People talk to me about hard work as a cost one must pay to accomplish a goal. Yes, but accomplishing the goal is only part of it. Persistence in the face of struggle, in itself, makes life fun. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
There are 10 people in space right now and 7.9 billion people on Earth. One day there may be more people in space than on Earth. I can imagine a lot of trajectories of human civilization that lead to this. Some are exciting. Some are terrifying. I prefer the former.
I've completely dropped the ball on reading emails, so in an attempt to somewhat recover I set up a contact page. If you'd like to get in touch with me: to be a guest on podcast, to work with me, to sponsor podcast, to have a coffee, etc, please go to: https://lnkd.in/gCvMseBF
6 miles, 480 push-ups + pull-ups done. 200 more to go today. 19,520 to go next 30 days. Every time I think about it, I want to quit. So I'll stop thinking about it. One rep at a time. Recording it on video for when I'm 100 and need to show the grandkids that grandpa was a madman.
The debate format is clearly broken. The primary debates showed it. The first presidential debate proved it. Several 3+ hour podcast conversations would be much more effective at getting to the core of each candidate, exploring the depth of their character and their ideas.
Here's my conversation with Ivanka Trump, a businesswoman, real estate developer, and former senior advisor to the President of the United States. We talk about politics, architecture, philosophy, fashion, music, parenting, martial arts, and much more.
I've gotten to know Ivanka well over the past 2 years. We first connected over our mutual love of reading and discussing books (for example by Marcus Aurelius, Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, etc). She is a truly kind, compassionate, and thoughtful human being, and I'm honored to be able to call her a friend.

2 is my favorite single-digit number. Here's how five 2's can be used to make 1, 2, 3, ..., 25, 26 with basic arithmetic operations.
An average human male produces 500 billion sperm cells in one lifetime, each genetically unique. That's more than 4x people who have ever lived.
We're all winners of a very competitive race. Congrats.

Dear Instagram and Facebook, I continue to be locked out of my IG account with no way to access it. Two things: (1) great software is frictionless even in buggy edge cases and (2) great customer service is essential. You fail on both counts. You can do better. I'm optimistic.
Here's my conversation with Rick Rubin, a legendary music producer. Thank you to Andrew Huberman for introducing us. Spending the day with Rick, eating BBQ, hanging out, talking about music and life was one of the most amazing days of my life.
Here's my conversation with Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, one of the most impactful websites ever created, hosting over 55 million articles. We discuss political bias, resistance to censorship, and its quest to collect the sum of human knowledge.
