I sat down to chat with Joe Rogan once again on his podcast. It was super fun. Joe has been an inspiration to me for many years as a human being and now a good friend. He's one of my favorite people to talk to for hours, on and off the mic. Episode is out on Spotify now.

Here's my conversation with David Kipping, astronomer & astrophysicist at Columbia University, director of the Cool Worlds Lab, and one of the most amazing scientists, educators, and human beings I've ever talked to. This was fascinating! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZN5xjoS6TU

Life here on Earth seems to find a way to survive, even in the harshest conditions. To me, it seems likely that the universe is teeming with alien life. Why we haven't seen definitive evidence of it is a fascinating mystery, one I think we'll solve in the 21st century.

Here's my conversation with Dennis Whyte all about nuclear fusion and the future of energy. Dennis is a nuclear scientist at MIT and the Director of the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center. This conversation was fascinating! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJoRMFWn2Jk

Holidays are a reminder of what's important in life: family, friends, loved ones ❤️

This is easy to forget in the busy pursuits of daily life.

Sadly, I've been attacked a lot over past 2 days.

For example, my Wikipedia page was edited to mostly remove my time at MIT.

I'm a Research Scientist at MIT, working there since 2015. I love it. The people there are amazing.

The attacks aren't fun, but I remain optimistic ❤️

Here's my conversation with Michael Malice, a very special holiday episode, announcing the release of his new book: The White Pill: A Tale of Good and Evil. I highly recommend it. We laughed, we cried, we celebrated. This conversation was epic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUkXluf3OYA

I love France. They have an amazing team and are a huge favorite, but let's be honest, it would be epic if Morocco advances to the World Cup Finals. I love rooting for the underdog 🤣 Let's go Morocco!! 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Let's go Messi and Argentina!!

I'm watching the game live while running on a treadmill, otherwise I would die of stress over the game.

Here's my conversation with Ed Calderon about Mexican drug cartels, ambushes, assassinations, kidnappings, narco cults, fentanyl, drug war, immigration, PTSD, and mortality. This was a powerful and eye-opening conversation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PIOoJMMptA

Two amazing World Cup games today, both ended in penalty kicks. I was on edge of seat, forgetting to breath, for entire overtime of Argentina game.

The dream of Messi winning the World Cup lives on!

Many people in this world are lonely, are struggling, and just need to be heard, to know their life matters. It does. You're beautiful. I meet folks, see the pain in their eyes & realize we're the same. Everybody, we're all lost, a little or a lot. But we're all lost together.

A few times in my life I've seen friendships destroyed over money. This never made sense to me. Why betray your integrity and relationships for financial gain? In the end, this leads to an unfulfilling life and, in the long run, probably less money anyway.

Each of us exists (in part) in the minds of other people, both as ideas and as memories. Human civilization is deeply connected in this way. Our intelligence is a collective intelligence. Our consciousness is a collective consciousness.

Humans have a love/hate relationship with drama. We know it's not good for us, but there's always a temptation to look and even participate.

Social media is the scaling of this push-pull dynamic to millions of people and billions of interactions. It's fascinating to watch.

Here's my conversation with Nathalie Cabrol, an astrobiologist at the SETI Institute, interested in the search for alien life in the universe. She explores some of the harshest places on Earth & holds a world record for freediving at altitude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyBosLx7bbM

Messi and Argentina are in the World Cup Finals!!!!!!

I'll try to livestream on YouTube on Sunday if you want to hang out with me virtually during the world cup final game.

I have a big stupid happy smile on my face! 🤣

I feel like I have 2 voices in my head, one negative and one positive, and I just sit back and listen to their conversation like it's a podcast.

If you look for a reason to hate a person, eventually you'll find it. If you look for a reason to celebrate a person, eventually you'll find it.

The former leads to resentment and destructive cynicism. The latter leads to happiness and growth for you and for those you celebrate.

Here's my conversation with Coffeezilla about SBF, FTX, financial fraud, scams & fake gurus. Coffeezilla is one of the most important journalistic voices working today, in terms of his integrity and fearlessness. Please support his work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi9Rf0oLdHk

I'm not right-wing or left-wing, no matter how much either side attacks. In the end, we're one. I love you all.

For podcasts, I am trying my best to have honest, empathetic conversations with voices on the left & the right, each time steelmanning their case & the opposing case.
