David Kipping: Alien Civilizations and Habitable Worlds | Lex Fridman Podcast  

I know you don’t really look at comments much so I doubt you’ll see this but I’ve been a huge fan for a long time & just want to say thank you, lex. For inspiring me every day & teaching me more than I ever could’ve learned in school. You’ve made me addicted to learning, thinking deeply, & with nuance. These conversations are truly priceless works of art.

❤😮 ❤The first

Weird, he mentioned binary planets and then super earth having too much gravity to escape it, and it made me think, what if what they detected is actually a binary pair and not one giant rocky planet 🤔 super Earth's always seemed odd to me conceptually. Anywho, great episode!

Awesome interview! A person I think you should interview about Alien civilizations and visiting other solar systems, please interview Andrew J Higgins. Fraser Cain did an interesting interview with him about interstellar travel.

Such of fascinating episode! It just takes you beyond imagination.

Professor Kipping, you're amazing. We need more people like you pushing the limits of space hypotheses, exo planet/moon discovery and just overall your outside-of-the-box thinking that's landed you the following you have today. Keep it up, you're a light in the darkness of space. 😎

I love sci-fi and listening to conversations like this. But it’s also sad. In essence, all I hear are the same old fantasies of ruling the universe as we kill ourselves with stupidity. That said, I was relieved to hear that acknowledged sincerely longabout 3:02:32

I have always felt the same as you defend since being introduced to the Fermi Paradox. But you are the first academic I have seen that makes the argument for being alone. I think being the "first", or even believing that we are the first, is a profound and powerful idea.

Giant fungus, I almost fell off my chair laughing! I thoroughly enjoyed your interview.. very thoughtful with depth.

Are you single lol I’m in love

❤ get doing that Wim Hof

Prayers for you! 🙏

I wish you peace and happiness

This honestly put a smile on my face and is truly encouraging to see someone displaying such admiration for individuals who most would dismiss simply for discussion of vastly misunderstood topics as these. Best of “luck” to you as we current humans still say

Hope you feel better 👍

Same,it's annoying and gives me weird drams

Hi! Yep! Me too! 😮

Ikr lol

I wonder if there’s a way to stop it

Same

I was here to type same thought.

I saw this pop up and it blew me away. Awesome to see

same I saw the thumbnail photo instantly recognized him and got so excited.

Lol! Same reaction, cool worlds labs is cool.

I couldn’t click fast enough. I’m pretty sure I’m about to hear nearly 4 hours of awesomeness!

Rogan and youtube saved my life. I rarely watch JRE now but he introduced me to so many ideas and people. Lex is standing on the shoulder of a giant and he has snatched the grasshopper out of his hand. Not only has Lex introduced me to so many great people and ideas (just subbed to cool worlds 😎) but had incredible episodes with people I learned of through Joe. The Duncan Trussel thumbnail popping up was like Xmas morning! I love them both, I think I am just a little more like-minded with lex. He always asks the questions I have for the guests. Lex, I know you read the comments. I'm half drunk so forgive my sloppy post but I fucking love you man, you are like the "perfect best friend". I have great people in my life but you have never said or done anything of any significance that I disagree with. Same goes for Duncan. The RZA episode was incredible as well, really helped me think about life/death in a new light. Your therapy session for Kanye really just exposed how big of a heart you have. He is such a sad case, you tried so hard to help him. I miss the old Kanye and I hope he can find peace somehow. People like you are my hope for the future of humanity and whatever type of AI being we birth. You are so humble it is hard for me to word this but you have saved my life man. I have been in some dark places. In 2010 I tested the "benzodiazepines rarely kill you by themselves" with .25g of phenazepam. I am here now and when I am lonely and start to go into dark places I watch your videos and it really helps a lot. I want to be like "have x person on" but that has to get annoying. I selfishly want to see a few specific comedians but you find amazing new people. You magically make a conversation with anyone incredible and get incredible guests for every pod. I will shut my drunk ass up now. Sorry for the book.

Something that has fascinated me recently is listening to lectures from the scientists and public intellectual's of the past. It really insightful to learn how they thought about the direction society would take, and what advances they expected would change the world versus what really ended up taking place

Im 46 and I love RU-vid, I listen to lectures and watch documentaries on so many topics that interest me all the time. Especially Religious, Spiritual and Occult topics that use to be so few and far in between we can even get Ancient Alien episodes on RU-vid and I learned so much about so many things on that show not even about aliens just history and Science based. As you said these Pod casts are excellent listening to convos as an outsider is so cool.

Amen brother. I’m 56 and I honestly think I’ve learned more in the last few years, listening to content like Lex and his guests, than in all the many years before that 😊

Absolutely, whenever I find myself commentating on such subjects unfortunately I get " why bother thinking of such things " it doesn't matter kind of thing like who cares , does my head in .

As a 60s baby from the era of 3 perhaps 4 📺 channels the Roswell NM incident along with the Kecksburg PA fascinated me. I loved listening to Art Bells show on AM 📻 radio

I am no intending to blow it for you, but I usually sleep with autoplay on. It is not the first time that I have woken up to this episode. Today I woke up like 15,20 minutes in i think :)

6.6 million views as at Nov 22, 2033 👏👏

Such a good point. I'm starting to realise maybe there is more genius out there than I realised

You actually estimated how "much genius" is out there? I'll give you one thing: although I'm not sure how any person/group of people *could possibly* go about doing that, it would have been a rather unique endeavor.

Lex lex lex on the track POW

4 Hours?? Oh.. I had Plans...

@@diraziz396 I had planned on eating out with my girl, but will tell her to wait until I finish watching the video.

@@User-jr7vf If she is the right one, she will understand and possibly ask to join you. 😁

@@jimpayne9545 🤣

@CoolWorlds and SEA (@sea_space) are tied first place for space content for me. Leagues deeper and more intellectual than even Astrum, Isaac Arthur etc.

Other GOOD space channels to watch (beside Cool Worlds) are: [Example: •Channel (Host)] •Star Talk (NDT) •Everyday Astronaut (Tim Dodd) •Ridddle •VSauce (Michael Stevens) •AstroKobi (Kobi Brown) •Physics Girl (Dianna Cowern) Just to name a few! 😎

@@Spectoral_on_SPOTIFY Don't forget Event Horizon by JMG.

@@TheOkieLife And Event Horizon!

History of the Universe has some tier 1 content as well. If you haven't had the pleasure and will forebear a stranger opining, I'd wager you wouldn't want your time back post consumption.

I join you in your excitement

I'm so lucky I found this channel. Following Cool Worlds for some time.

Seeing two channels which you have been following separately collide is always exciting

His channel is dope

Does he?

​@@unbroken1010 Yes.

@@judyhart7628 doubt it

@@jayclarke6671 he a man's man. BLM thugs, Biden and Zelinsky would love him 🤣. Probably toss his salad 🥗 🤣

Hehehehehe ! What A Ding-Bat !

Excited. Unless you really are into leaving

agreed!

Same here!

Same here. He’s great.

Same!

too bad this is all psuedoscience, anyone that believes we have rovers on mars has to be brainwashed.

Exactly

!!!! :)

💯

people replace religion with belief in extraterrestrials to satisfy their faith

Lex's podcast is my go-to to fall asleep to, also Sam Harris and Neil DeGrasse Tyson Sometimes Alan Watts

Sad but true and somehow hopeful comment. Thank you for your input and feedback.

Hear, hear!

Just read & see not a troll comment you see what a credible source of formation you provide

Agreed. Just imagine the knowledge he will have in just another decade of research

David Kipping is most definitely up there. Lex is not. He is most definitely on the level of most of humanity. Extremely enthusiastic, openminded and very naive in a certain way, but that is what makes him amazing in his own. Not brilliant but definitely should be exemplary for how us mere mortals should conduct and challenge ourselves.

So brilliant he thinks climate change is the greatest threat to mankind. He's a book smart brainwashed go along to get along fool

.. hah oh please .. Lex believed in conspiracy theories .. a conspiratard .. he believed in the ever so silly 'US Govt and NASA's hiding information on extra-terrestrial alien'

@@finalfandy4766 so why are you here, watching his podcast?

@Bert Demeulemeester it's quite pathetic you feel the need to try and put someone down, the statement made is subjective so you are both correct, difference is you are being unnecessarily negative. Furthermore, Lex is brilliant.

Well that was an unfortunate choice of word to use caps on lol. Should be " your podcast is AMAZING" no?

@@iluvatarchem that was an autocorrect thing lol

While Joe certainly helped, Lex has been around in his own right well before the Joe interactions.

He's my bed time story teller. I go to sleep to his voice. 😴

I use his videos to fall asleep every night (after watching them already, of course) his voice is just so soothing

I also love the Cool Worlds videos. However, I must also credit 'melodysheep' for his wonderful, 'Life Beyond' 1, 2 and 3 videos. Very atmospheric videos.

100%

Melody Sheep's original songs with Sagan, Tyson etc are also really good

When it comes to proteins which are part of our comosition, which came first? [ The protein | The nucleic code describing the protein | The mechanism that reads the code and assembles the protein ]

@@rustyyb8450 YHVH came first. His name was written in your DNA until you took your MRNA shots.

@@jenniferayers5354YHWH is just a Jewish cult daemon

@@jenniferayers5354 And where did “he” come from? Nothing can come from nothing according to you, correct? So answer without being a hypocrite.

UFOgate. - For 75 years, the US government has been lying to humanity. The real crash of an alien spacecraft with occupants occurred on July 2, 1947. It was a manned star spacecraft, not a UFO. Discoverer and contact holder since 01/17/95 Johann Zdebor - How many more decades does the Swedish Nobel Prize Committee want to keep my sensational discovery and my law of 01/17/95 secret from mankind? I completely unraveled the UFO phenomenon 28 years ago on 1/17/1995. Johann Zdebor

- Actually . . . I saw this interview as . . . largely . . . being " " A N T I -- -- E X T R A T E R E S T R I A L S " " . - - - Which is f i n e with me . - -

aliens dont exist in our lifetimes. just a replacement for classical religion. takes same amount of faith.

Next JRE

Needs taylor swift fot the quadruple.

Elvis "might" fly in here on a magic carpet

And you got some unsolicited financial advice for your troubles. However, I happen to agree with you, so have a thumbs up. If all human beings could sit thus and delve deep. We would solve many problems.

This isn’t the clip, it’s the whole damn podcast 😂

Life is all over the place.

There are already colonies on Mars (from Earth). Secret Space Programs are very real!

Where is that episode?

Yes!! 'Brew MeUp; You hit upon the central-force of logic of Mr. Kipping. His understanding of FactCheck as he goes. His preaching caution and double checking the 'facts'-of-the-moment(ISM).

@@frankwillow-rogersjr.3253 LOL. He's delusional. He can prove nothing, it's just vain conjecture.

This is what science should be... Not what we experienced in 2020-2022 covid phase... "you should just believe what we say with no skepticism allowed". Sure, most trying to just do the right thing... But the "listen to the science" people when science was extremely limited were off base and I hope they all learned a huge lesson on what science really is. Skepticism is welcome and not to be shamed, try to proce it wrong so that the science is sound, and invite different perspectives

​@@dhans7673 The real red-pill is when you realize that they weren't wrong, they were lying.

not sure how logical it is to conclude all these things from 1 pixel.... True science begins with receiving a love of the truth and coming to a knowledge of the truth requires an examination of all the "knowledge" on a subject... God has revealed Himself in His creation and His purpose in His Word. It is worth your time to read the Bible for yourself and learn about the only Creator mankind has on record speaking to mankind in the first person. God has given us a gift of reconciliation to Him by faith in Jesus, not astronomy... spend some time learning about Jesus through His Word, reading it for yourself.... it is worth it.

These dudes are dumb

Lex can get annoying with that sometimes

Grounded in bullshit and hyperbole.

It’s all a bunch of shit.

Great comment!!

No way, same!
