Lex's videos keep popping up on my YouTube feed, but I never really watched one past the first few minutes to have an opinion on the guy - what is Hubski's take on this guy's podcast?

I want to like Lex, I really do. On paper I'd probably like to be friends with him.

And I am starting to maybe understand the way that I am perceived by others.

I had a "I will only wear a suit" phase. Lots of little boys and young men do. Most of us grow out of it to wear what is culturally / situationally appropriate. Lex only wears a suit.

He has a lot of good ideas but he seems to think his take on things is somehow different or revolutionary when compared to other people's ideas of utopia/ progress of human civilization.

He is a really good interviewer though and does a good job of asking questions that let his guest really open up on a topic.

He's like Rogan for people (Like me) who got sick of Rogan.
