Thanks for all your work Lex. Yourself and Jordon Peterson have had an immensely positive impact on my life and have taught me to be a more productive human.

This is at the same time the most avantgarde shitpost I've ever seen and a very insightful mini documentary. Very unique content.

Ive thought about death regularly since the age of 10. I constantly mourn the passage of time. Thats one of the reasons why I respect Lex. He sits with the pain and meditates on it, where everyone else has just told me to not think about it.

This what probably the most incredible breakdown of recent society I've seen on youtube yet. Done with real meaning & demonstrating real value, not getting lost in the nitty fucking gritty. This really was a tremendous watch, whoever edited / produced this honestly deserves a fat fucking bonus because this will form a lot of ideas in a lot of people's heads. Lex Fridman is the fucking man - it is his world & we are living in it; he understands respect like not many others do in the public figure realm (if u will) and this is real wisdom in and of itself - leads to wonderful things that will constantly take you by surprise. You can bet your bottom fucking dollar that Joe Rogan learned a thing or two from him in that podcast, and I am absolutely sure that you and I could too.

I love your editing style and your topics of choice. Great video to make after the masterpiece that was the Norm one. Great job!

The way you had this come full circle, zooming in on earth then zooming out. The beginning monologue discussing the good and the bad of mankind and ending with the hopefulness of that poem. Powerful stuff man. Got me feeling a type of way haha

phenomenal content, ive never seen someone with the impact as well as limited releases of videos its amazing

You took the things he himself presents as simple truths that can easily be perceived as cliches and made them so much easier to digest with your editing, I love it

I just got home from a funeral of a loved one a couple of minutes ago and I got a notification for your video. For weeks (but especially today), I felt lost, overwhelmed and most of all emotionally dull... But then I watched your video and was somehow introduced to parts of my old self again -- sort of like a nudge to remind me of my endless curiosity about our cosmos and how lucky I am to be a part of the universe that ponders about itself. What a happy coincidence for your video to be uploaded on the hour I needed a friendly reminder! Your editing is gratifying and I might just go back to designing whatever comes to mind on Illustrator with this boost of inspiration. On top of all that, your added taste of humor in your editing made me smile. Magnificent work. Thank you, friend! 😊

Amazing content. The last video got me really excited to see more and yup, I feel rewarded for subscribing.

There's a genius to how accessible you've made these 2 mini doccos. Even though I've been a huge fan of Lex's podcast since he rose to prominence and have also dug very deep trying to learn everything I could about Norm after his death I was still thoroughly entertained by both of your videos despite them not providing me personally with any new information about the individuals themselves. If I wanted to introduce a friend or a family member to the idea of Lex or Norm I would definitely be sending them your videos as the pitch. They resemble mainstream documentaries in tone which is not intended as an insult, I could comfortably send this to my dumbest friends with whom I would otherwise not bother to try involve in complex subjects because I am very blunt and they often get upset and expect me to be able to explain others' work to them in laymans terms when that's simply not something I have the aptitude for yet so even though I learned nothing new about Norm or Lex here I can definitely feel like your videos have taught me a lot about how to effectively present information to others in just under an hour. Obviously this comment is not the most concise but I'm only having these realizations and figuring out how the videos made me feel as I type this now so it just feels more genuine for me to post this as it is and who knows, maybe it will be fun for anyone who notices to see how/if my feedback changes moving forward because I intended to watch this space. You've got the talent, keep up the good work.

The organization, the way it’s all packaged and packed in…this the caliber of video I’d expect from a channel with millions of followers, not a few thousand. Nice job! Subbed from the Norm video, glad I stayed

1:01 lol @ the way you edited Zuck's face 😂

Im glad you only have 2 videos because im done tearing up for today. Keep up it up, spreading the good word.

You’re really good at this video editing thing. Brilliant, in fact.

What a beautiful thing you did here. Your addition of musical scoring to Lex reading If by Kipling and then punctuated it with his last statement, ah!

Dude, your videos are just so great. Like well made documentaries: subtle, controlled but feel very personal and let the original material shine. I really like both this one and the other about Norm.

You may think yourself but a humble messenger, pointing out the works and words of others, but your keen eye and deft editing have drawn together the ideas of these people which would take a real deep understanding to unearth.

Amazing man, congratulations on this awesome video. I love how you conmected it with the Norm one with Lex's tweet. I also get the feeling that there's a pattern in the people you've chosen so far to make videos about. Something about a deeply-rooted belief of love being the absolute meaning of an otherwise completely meaningless existence. Could be wrong though, but my guess is you believe that too, and it's motivated this great videos you've made so far. Can't wait to see your next project!
