I had a long relationship with the son of one of these Soviet Union mathematics PhD guys. They’re both very impressive men. It’s a bit freaky how similar the descriptions are. Big music guys, camping… really the whole bit. Even the gay part. The son is bisexual. He didn’t ever appear to hide it. Not sure if he tried to hide it when he was younger and quit. The son radiates though, unlike Lex. Like, he has power levels I could never really understand. Perhaps Lex should come out.

Omg. I can’t even finish your podcast about Lex. There’s no life in him. Looks like an arrogant funeral home director. Watch his interview with Ann Jacobson. He can’t even look at her. Any energy is provided ,if any, by his guest. You owe me 2$…

When I first saw a clip of him, I thought he was a head injury patient that people where being nice to.

I just want for the sycophants of the oligarchs to at least be entertaining. At least Lex doesn’t say he’s a comedian. Half of these freaks say they are comedians, and I’ve never even so much as chuckled at something they’ve said. Evil closeted gay guys use to be so powerful and scary. Lex believes in all the evil shit but he just comes across as a dull, wet noodle. What happened to this country.

I read somewhere that he had one of the founders of google as his very early guests. Before he blew up. How did he manage that ?

Never read Freud but wouldn’t sublimation freed him from his repressed gayness and hence allow him to be joyful?

I don't like to waste people's time with clickbait or tea.

And I'll admit my bias

But these guys have an excellent deconstruction of his Middle School. Joe Rogan interview style.

It works very well in the modern media platforms

First, we do not know whether Lex is in a relationship with someone. Second, even if he is not, a source of his sadness may be not his relationship status, but that he was in a field that he did not like for over 10 years, following footsteps of his father and brother, and did not develop his own interests. Third, a bigger question is why he appears to be a CIA asset.

The literary precedent of tragic duck discovery would be the collapse of Sibyl Vane from natural actress to rejected lover by way of Prince Charming.
