@nbisho01
@nbisho01 Год назад
Its all access to popular culture. In America, Kardashians are popular because people like drama and care a lot about looks and being hip, whereas these girls cater to more niche communities. Sucks too because Kardashians are definitely not positively influencing the minds of our youth

Sorry but these two do the same exact things. They constantly stream in skimpy clothing talking about trivial non-sense while making suggestive faces or poses for male viewership and clicks. Being good at chess on top of everything else isn't enough of an extra layer to somehow cancel the rest out.

@@vgold4286 they do, the culture is fucked. But there is more to these gals than that, the tide of things is forcing everyone into their corners. It’s just too easy to make bank very quickly doing onlyfans style content. But again their not just skimpy photo gals. If the entire young population could use their brains like these 2 girls there would be more hope on the world. Also their young, I was young once. Remember having hormones alll the fucking time.

Alex saying "Imagine being so intelligent that you could become a grandmaster, and yet only spending the rest of your life being a grandmaster." was kinda wild to think about.

It reminds me of the Paul Morphy quote.. "The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life." Which I don't fully agree, but I can see this being the case for so many GM's that don't get to be super GM's or don't get to monetize their skills.

It's because 1. Chess doesn't require high intelligence. It's just pattern recognition from other games. All u do is play the best lines that have always already been played. That doesn't require intelligence. Just memory. You didn't create some new genius move. 2. Chess is a dead end. It only makes u good at chess and nothing else. The skill of chess doesn't leak into other areas. And chess doesn't help make the world a better place.

As a former chess player and a current math major at college, I felt such a connection to this episode. Essentially, I loved how Lex so openly shared his take on some really interesting questions. Overall this episode is beautiful. Beautiful both visually and mentally. Alex is brilliant lady. So is Andrea. Lex is the role model. Lex, thank you for putting your effort out there and creating this valuable informational art that we not only love to be exposed to but I dare to say that we should. Thank you for putting love into the world.

What an astute and beautiful observation that might of been missed here, Lex 44:22 "I know you are being nice to the machines, in case they are ever looking back on this." - that's a real chess player mindset right there. I think Alexandra tried to relate to your interests, with that comment.

This CD is very calming ru-vid.comUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq the first meditation focuses on breathing, the second guides you through the Buddhist metta bhavana--loving kindness to all, and the third is a meditation to be used when walking. him is originally from Scotland, so there is a little accent to his voice, but it is very soothing and not at all distracting. If you are a beginner to meditation, this CD will walk you through all the steps of relaxing and breathing as well as sending out the positive thoughts of love and kindness that will be returned to you. We have several CD's, but this one is a favorite that we choose most often.

@2:04:54 I am a black man Lex Fridman, you won't turn off all people in a community because of controversy. I've watched the Botez Sisters play chess in their park videos with random people looking to up my game and also have a laugh while watching them in their element. I would also watch the Andrew Tate interview potentially. I think there are people who are willing to be nuanced and accept that labels aren't all fitting and there are people who aren't. Stay true to yourself, whether you interview him or not but just know that as much as there will be backlash, there will be always support. This dimension is one of duality and polarity
@immanuelnewton5722
@immanuelnewton5722 Год назад
But what nuances are there with Andrew Tate, really? He's ideology which to some extent he is just putting on as a show is that I'm big strong ape better than you better than women. That's it! It'll definitely be boring and he won't concede on anything because it makes him money. Neither he nor the subject is capable of being intellectually interesting.

It's specifically the floor they use in Italy that makes the difference... The names 00 and 0 Flour refer to specifically Italian milled flour that is used for pasta making. You will find that this is also called Doppio Zero just meaning double zero. The grading system is 2, 1, 0 or 00 and indicates to how finely ground the flour is and how much of the bran and germ have been removed.

Bravo to Lex, Alexandra and Andrea, My dad taught me chess as a young boy and never 'let' me win. I kept up with it because he showed me my mistakes and possible options along the way to being able to compete with him. Lex, It's interesting to hear your guests describe the moves in descriptive terms as known strategies. Naïve as I am, many of the move sequences just feel instinctual to me, probably because I learned so young and never knew the names of what I was doing. It's an odd feeling to know where things are probably going on your opponent's first move or two because you can perceive their ability. People competitively over extended miss the obvious traps to my advantage. "mistakes" realized are the difference. I've taught friends who went on to destroy well heeled braggarts at the game.
@ablejack3
@ablejack3 Год назад
Chess parallels MMA/Jiu jitsu on many levels. Both individual competitions with many time control variations that may give an advantage to one participant over another. Winning is often by tapping or resigning when one is "defeated", or by stoppage/mate. The prepping for a particular opponent, the idea that a fighter might be more comfortable in certain lines/positions than another equally rated player. The fighters also often attach a sense of worth to an outcome even tho anyone can slip up and suddenly lose to a foe considered not as strong. I could realloy go on with the similarities, but I'm sure many others are thinking of them now.
