I have always been curious about the complexities regarding a creative imagination and dreams in particular... as a former fashion designer, I was always able to just close my eyes, follow my intuition and focus on evening dresses in my mind (like switching the channel on a television to escape to another dimension,) and eventually I find myself walking through an upscale fashion boutique with random mannequins shown on display, all wearing fabulous dresses that I can touch, lift up and explore the hidden details, then choose to make a mental note of a few favourite dresses. After awhile, I open my eyes and sketch them quickly and note the colorways, fabrics and any details. I could also find evening dresses when I was asleep... I would often dream that I was wondering through a fashion boutique, as a lone observer looking at various evening dresses on display. Aware that I was dreaming, I would choose to make mental notes of my favourites and then force myself to wake up to sketch a few and add notes, (Often I would find myself 'dreaming within a dream' and my mind would register the conscience state I was in and I would have to force myself to wake up from a dream state again.) Now as a designer of high-end contemporary furniture/objects of art, I am still able to just close my eyes and find myself walking through an art gallery or boutique furniture showroom and find myself choosing the furniture pieces I love the most and make a mental note of the details, materials used, colors and then choose to wake up to reality and make quick sketches and note the various colors and details of each piece. I do not understand where these random mysterious designs come from, if they are 'discovered or invented' and why they are always commercial designs suited to a very sophisticated customer. (Also strange to me is why some people are born with the ability to draw... designing and drawing are 2 separate skill sets, as many designers cannot draw. I compare it to exceptionally talented musicians that can write their own music and are also able to sing well... both skills don't usually occur together with one person.)

It's crazy how a teacher can make such a difference. I hated math in high school because it seemed useless. The teachers I had then could not explain to me what it was for. All I wanted to know was what X was and why we give a shot about finding it!?!? Later in college I had really great math teachers who were able to really explain the practicality of what we were doing. For some reason that unlocked something for me. Knowing the why/what of math was very important to me finding joy in learning it.

I have dyslexia.. I honestly read that as "Edward Frenkel is a real jew" 😂 it also must have been partly because he was speaking of the mathematics university in Moscow and his father when I read it.. I didn't know that in Russia if one's family name is of Jewish heritage that the person's nationality is Jewish - I never knew that was even a nationality.. (have I perhaps heard it wrong?) To be persecuted for this is truly TERRIBLE!☹️ I was under the impression that Russia was (historically) home to many many Jewish people. Alex's surname for example. Just thought that was strange, regarding nationality etc

I was not expecting this to be one of my all-time favorite interviews, but it is. Edward is amazingly briliant and thought provoking - Please have him on again sometime!

What an extraordinary mathematician and "liberated" human being Edward Frenkel is!

Hi there. I like your video if I am working one on one with a student or in a tutor situation. In a larger class, I need to be able to grab their attention quickly and feed their curiosity/imagination -- especially if I am "going off-script". Because it is not part of the actual curriculum where I work, I cannot assign any major marks to its study. So I give bonus marks. The video that I show my students is this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmpomaWAo9i1hrg.html&ab_channel=WelchLabs Ultimately, my goal is to have students with an early grasp of imaginary numbers skills, history and applications when they graduate so that they don't need to be introduced when they go off to university. The skill can be introduced during the study of the quadratic formula and the discriminant, the history has its own unique learning moments, and the practical applications are found in the quantum biology and Tibees does a good explanation too.

So much to choose from this conversation that touched my heart, my mind and banged them both around a hundred times. If I were to choose one, I'd point to how Edward Frenkel thought his dreams were over at 16 as a consequence of anti-Semitic, unspoken polices of the ex-Soviet Union - how loss fueled his work and within a few years he would be a professor at Harvard. That arc he traveled is universal in many ways, and certainly made me think of my and my own father's lives. Thanks Lex and Prof. Frenkel for a brave and beautiful voyage into love and math.

This was the first podcast that I kept getting interupted while listening, but over 3 days, just kept coming back to hear you both speak. Edward's views on so many different topics really put a smile on my face. Thank you for speaking with him and sharing that with us!

Lex, your podcasts give me comfort and hope for humanity. It's so wonderful to go on all these thought trips. I don't have many friends I can talk to about any of all this, and I run in highly educated circles, but everyone is closed off. Your attitude towards all your guests is what the world needs. I love you and this podcast more than any online content anywhere. Thank you.

Educated people tend to be proficient only in the subjects they study/teach, it's a generalisation but I do think we could all be a little more open minded. Mind you, I'd say those of us who listen to Lex's wide array of guest's are naturally more open minded, curious & hungry for knowledge of all kinds 😉 I'll add that in no way am I highly educated, I have very minimal academic education to be honest

Beautiful comment, Deirdre. I do think there is a huge difference in highly educated and high intelligence, but I would say that though 😂 Agree with you totally! The young Lex is outstanding.

@@roddy2body I agree, it's totally not education or even pure intelligence that defines an agile mind, but curiosity.But I am grateful there are experts as well because then they can explain it all to those of us who like to learn a little about everything! :)

One of the best podcasts ever. Edward is magnificent

I remember finding his book a few years ago my senior year in high school. I was so fascinated by the math he discusses in the book it motivated me to continue my education in stem. I didn’t think I could do it since no one in my family had gone to college. I now work in civil engineering, and extremely grateful I found love and math. God bless everyone and keep working hard for your dreams 🤝

I have literally fallen in love with this man

Edward frenkel is so inspirational.he made me fall in love of maths.

I remember this guy from Numberphile talking about the Riemann Hypothesis. What a wonderful surprise to see his face once again.

Lex, Edward Frenkel has presented a philosophical masterclass on multidisciplinary Sciences - so eloquently - intuitive, divine, mystical, inner child's wonder

This discussion is a type of therapy for people with Anxiety, OCD and Major Depression because it feels like like the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Edward's logic thought process and reasoning are inspirational. He fuses scientific knowledge with emotions like no other. Worth it every minute!

He’s a natural philosopher! Speaking of paradox, read Chesterton.

This conversation has its claws into me already

As we get older time passes faster. When we are in pain, time passes very slowly.

This episode is absolutely "Из Вечности"... Thank You both.

It is awesome to hear “Paradox is Fundamental” echoing through the worldview!

My journey is nothing like that of Edward but I so recognise where he is now. This deep connection is beautiful and inspires and informs me as to the truth of love and our universe. Love you man. Love you Lex. 🙏

this is seriously the best guest that could have came to the podcast in these times

That guy is an example of a great scientific mind; in search of truth.

such a charming and humble man

Thank you for sharing this with us. What a gift Frenkel is to the world!

I have been practising the Mindfulness of Breathing technique kzread.infoUgkxIIDVgnLN8pF_fPOyoZ1nTjbLvvZcib6r as taught in this CD for about 2 years having read about it in Paramananda's Change Your Mind book and taken a real liking to it. However at times I struggle to remain focused on the breathing and thought that at such times this guided version might suit me. So after two years I finally decided to buy it! The first 7'24 of Track 1 of the CD is a body relaxtion which I do not use: I don't like body relaxation techniques and I find 27' just a little too long for meditation. The remaining 20' of gentle, guided meditation helps me tremendously to relax and stay focused. I find him's voice very soothing and whilst he is present to guide you through the 4 stages of the meditation, his presence is not intrusive or distracting. For the past two years I have tried to follow this technique as best I can with gentle meditation music despite music not being recommended. Having used this CD a couple of times I think I will try from now on to adopt a new routine of no music and just this CD as I find it so helpful. I realise now that the music really is distracting and I have enjoyed listening to the ambient sounds around me which I am normally unaware of. I can not comment on the other 2 tracks of Metta or Walking Meditation as I bought the CD solely to help me with the Mindfulness of Breathing and it does just that - very effectively. In my opinion this CD is money very well spent as it will guide you through a thoroughly useful and beneficial meditation technique and I don't think you can put a price on that.

Reading love & math as we speak after listening to this podcast and why did I like based on his voice Edward was much older...anyway... I am SO ENTHRALLED with this book. Thank you Lex and thank you Edward.

This episode was incredibly comfy. Cozy, even. Like warm socks and hot apple cider. And a nice, ordered set.

Waiting for part 2... the best interview out of every single one. Thank you.

Holy cow, this man’s perspective on math and science is so damn refreshing. Really sick of hearing scientists who claim to “know it all”

Edward Frenkel is a genuinely good person and an extremely gifted mathematician. He exudes a refreshingly deep understanding of the hidden reality beyond our common intuition and is a pleasure to listen to his exquisite insights. Thank you, Lex, for yet another interesting dialogue with this special guest!

I luv this guy's humility. And his brilliance at explaining why he's humble, and awe-struck. Ands his brilliance at (gently) pushing back on Lex's delusional (IMHO) belief that silicon chips will become conscious, feeling critters.

Frenkel is a man after my own heart. He covered so much of the same territory that I've explored and arrived to some of the very specific insights too. Lol - it feels good of course to somehow 'be in agreement', but it happens so rarely. :D

oT256Cr has the most potential to do more than X10. ETH and BTC will most likely do a X5-X6, but that's fine for me. Gotta look for better entry points while I stake IRIS and PGEN, then wait for Polygen's next raise as I also look at their new partnership with Kenzo Ventures.

Sounds like someone trying to convince me that the letter 'e' exists...

looking at past paradoxes, they are always resolved by stepping back and seeing the larger picture, from which the explanation that encompasses them becomes clear.

most inspiring interview i have seen - and edward is so interesting

Lex you’re a living legend bro. These podcasts and special guest do so much for the world and the thinker. We’re all trying to get closer to the truth even though the closer we get the more we don’t know. Life is a beautiful mysterious phenomenon

Edward is the first scientist that I believe I have listened to that seems to be unbiased and looks at things from many perspectives. He does a wonderful job explaining the varying perspectives and is ok with not having to fall on one side or the other if he doesn't know. We need to find the greatest young minds on Earth and have Edward teach them. Math and science would advance by leaps and bounds.

Loved this interview! Thanks, Lex! Responses: -"Allegedly." 😂 -Yes, playing with toys for science is fun. -Tolstoy made multiple clear arguments against determinism in War and Peace, first fully published in 1869. - My contention: Everything is real.

I’m gonna be the n-th person to say this but this was the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. The way you two recognized each others’ passions
