The assumption shouldn't just be that smart people are born that way, every single guest Lex has had on has seemingly worked themselves to the bone in pursuit of something more. That message needs to be trumpeted from the rooftops of every school on this planet, genius is just the first step in the intellectual pursuit of anything.

Lex, you are at the top of your game in this interview. Good prep! Wished I could have heard him discuss decoherence, recoherence, his take on quantum consciousness, the multiverse, and how everyone can exploit this knowledge in their daily lives to achieve deeper compassion and joy. He almost got there with the bits about humility. I also wish he hadn't held back when he waded into deeper waters. We like pictures of the bottom turtle. Why didn't you ask Katherine de Kleer about the meaning of life? Just needling. Peace & love.
