You have already made your grandmother proud by becoming a great man, Lex. Blessings to you and your family.

You are not fraud; you are most genuine and full of life.

Спасибо Алекс, я уверена что ваша бабушка гордится вами каждый день. Из вас вырос прекрасный человек. Будьте счастливы.

Sorry for your loss. "She inspired me to enjoy the successes of others" that is a very wise thing. Thanks for sharing about her. RIP.

This was a beautiful tribute Lex, she sounded like an incredible lady

Big hugs. What a beautiful way to honour this person.

I dont know you or your grandmother, but that brought tears to my eyes! To your grandma and grandmothers anywhere! Prost

I come back to this video at low times and it gives me strength

I have always loved how much you focus on words in your podcasts. You seem to understand, on a deep level, how much words really matter. From one "words person" to another, I really wish words could actually be more comfort... even if from a stranger on the internet. At any rate, your grandmother obviously means a great deal to you. Now, you've just brought that woman's life to the consciousness of over half a million people across the world. You are a good man Lex... and an incredible grandson. I am sorry for your loss.

Oh Lex! what a beautiful beautiful beautiful video!! (You've got me crying with this one) I'm more than sure that your wonderful grandmother is more than proud of you, don't even doubt it great man! Lots of love

May she rest in peace, condolences man. She's proud. Judging by the comments, seems that grandmas are a very important part of our lives. Mine's the case as well since I grew up without a dad and with an ill mom, she and my grandpa took care of me, so I feel your feels man.

Бабаня ❤️ .. Растрогала до слез ваша речь. Приношу свои искренние соболезнования. Лекс, она безусловно гордится вами 🙏🏻

Your grandmother lives on within you as you help others with the lessons and love that she gave to you. Love you Lex

91 years is a journey to be proud of. Given her age and ancestry, I can't begin to imagine the life she lived, the things she experienced, the history she saw unfold. May she rest in peace and thank you for sharing this, Lex.

I think that's the best podcast you've done ever. You've made me cry. And yes, I'm Russian.

She certainly did a good job! Grief never grows old, keep her in your heart.

May the light of her guide you through your long nights thinking about making the world a better place.

This hitting deep lex I love u man 💜

Lex, How beautiful that through you your grandmother continues to inspire others. You are beloved by so many people throughout the world, for your work and for that bit of love you put out into the world. Thank you.

Grandmothers and grandfathers don't last long and often you're too young to appreciate them. Cherish your time with them and when the time comes, stay strong.

Mine just passed yesterday. Was time. So happy to have this. Thanks for the information, hope all are well.

What a gift to be loved by an extraordinary person! Thank you for sharing with us, a special thing you can never use up.

What a beautiful tribute. My joy for you Lex is that your Grandmother's love lives on through you. What an incredible Warrior of Hope she was. Our thoughts, prayers and Condolences are with you and your family. 🌷

Much respect to her and your family! Take on her legacy and continue to elevate my brother.

It's amazing how well Lex holds himself together with this. Beautiful words for the passing of a beautiful soul.

I am honored to know you for decades in some small way, thanks to her tenacity and love. RIP Lovely Lady

Somehow, while listening to the memories of his grandmother, tears flowed endlessly. I was delighted to see that he inherited the greatness of his grandmother's spirit. A glimpse into some of the pioneers of the age of inheriting the great consciousness of artificial intelligence.

My condolences to you and your family Lex. She lived and persevered through the toughest of times and shaped several generations of your family with her strength. You have done everything and more that she could have envisioned, and will continue to do so with the lessons she instilled in you.

Beautiful to realize what unconditional love and support can do! Thank you for sharing.

For all the survivors I have the honor of knowing, thank you for these words and a different perspective.

Your grandmother was a fighter. She survived during the most difficult times in recent history a human could face yet she did not see herself as a victim. Like many from that part of the world and going through that time, you had to fight to survive or you just died. Americans definitely need to hear this story, Lex. Today in America, our culture has been turned upside down by groups competing against each other trying to establish who is the biggest victim.

I’m a grown man that looks up to, and has the utmost respect for Lex. What a solid human being!!

Your grandma makes me remember my loved ones that were gone and those are still here, thank you for sharing this moment with me.

Strong loving Grandmothers raise generations. RIP condolences to you and your family Hermano.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you understand this in the spirit I intend, but I am also envious. To have had someone like that in your life is a great gift, and one which I wish I'd had. Please accept my sincere condolences and also gratitude on your behalf that you were blessed enough to have her in your life.

I’m so sorry, Lex. I just lost my grandmother last week, and I lost my mother this May. 2020 has been such a challenging year for all of us, but losing those we love amplifies the bitterness of it all. Wishing you and your family strength and healing - and strength and healing to anyone reading this!

How utterly I failed to stop myself from crying. That is the most beautiful tribute that I have witnessed. Your lessons are our lessons. Love is everything. Thank you for sharing.

I love that you pubically honored your grandmother. Grandmothers don't often have much power in the wider world but wield tremendous power in the minds and imaginations of their grandchildren throughout their lives. The depth of your loss shows in this video, but so too does the enormity of strength and wisdom you have been gifted. Here is a poem I wrote after my grandma died. It always comforts me and makes me cry. I am the mother of 4 grown children and hope to be a grandmother soon. I am certain not a single accomplishment you accrue going forward will come as close to making your grandmother as proud of you as the kind of person you already are. Your integrity, kindness, and work ethic are a beautiful testament to the kind of woman your grandmother was. Grandma Vonnie... I stop Picture her at day’s end With her tea. I wanted to be just like her. But she would never Stop To dawdle, To write, To daydream The way I do. I write poetry. She was a poem. She never Stopped Til we were all thoroughly fed, Babies happy, House clean, Laundry done. Her poetry was the grace of her movements As she worked from morn til night. Her poetry was How loved she made us feel. Her poetry was her kitchen Where anybody could Stop Anytime And be fed the dishes she woke well before sunrise to prepare. Her home was a sacred place to us, Her enormous kitchen a sanctuary. After she died I was stunned to realize how Tiny her kitchen really was, And that it could exist at all Without her in it. I will always strive to be like her. And will make the dinner soon, but for now I Stop And watch As the tears Fall On my poem For her.

Such a beautiful tribute. Love to you and your family

Lex......thank you for the beautiful story of your wonderful grandmother you had in your life.........and thank you for being you......:)

"For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love."-Carl Sagan. May she rest in peace.♥️ True love is truly infinite.

Our dear Alex: Thank you for having shared your loving requiem with us, the brothers and sisters you've all over the world. You are a great man, a true inspiration for many of us. Sometimes, when I watch your videos, I imagine you are the smart, trustful and cheerful friend I never had. A friendship with an intelligent, wise and emphatic person like you would have made a great difference when I was younger, to get the best of me, to fight harder for my dreams, while they were still alive. I'm happy you are so young, you have so much energy, plans, method, knowledge... you'll get very far, I know. You must know for sure that you honor your grandmother's memory by being the way you are, and by helping and inspiring others (like me) to get over their mind limitations every day. Thank you. Peace and respect to this loving and strong woman.

Sorry for you’re loss Lex. What a WONDERFUL Woman... God Bless Her... May she rest in piece, and Love. So much Love for you, and your beautiful family.... 🙏

Thank you for not being normal and for sharing your most personal feelings with us about how inspiring your grandmother was for you. This is why you are a podcast pheeenom. You are extraordinary.

This was incredibly moving Lex. Your grandmother would be proud. RIP

I find it sadly beautiful that your Grandmother survived through pure chaos, at a seemingly hopeless time - knowing not of the great impact her Grandson has and will continue to have on the present and future of the western world. You're a great man Lex, on a great path. I hope to join you on a similar pilgrimage some day.

She did a fantastic job... She can be proud.....never doubt yourself and share your ability with others.... She was so right...

Спасибо бабе Ане за её жизнь и достойное наследие. Очень жаль, когда уходят люди того поколения.

We're lucky to experience some of her wisdom through your podcasts, your words, through the great wisdom and life lessons she gave you. May she rest in peace.

One of the hardest things we must face and deal with in life is losing someone we care about and love.

They just don’t make them like that anymore. She’s an inspiration, you’re an inspiration. Thank you 🙏🏽

You have made her proud by being the inspiration of hundred of thousands of people in this world. She is proud to have you as her grandson.. You really have all those qualities that she wanted to instill in you. She is proud of you❤

"Бабань, я уже скучаю" Its heartbreaking to hear those words and sadly knowing the way it feels. If theres something to be said its better to be said in russian - Ты - прекрасный человек. Не секунды не сомневаюсь, что она гордилась тобой и то, кем ты стал и продолжаешь быть. То, какие ценности ты смог впитать и хранишь в фибрах своей души и своей памяти, те, что продолжаешь беречь и несёшь дальше : Человечность, самосознательность, трепетную и искреннюю любовь. Благодарю за прочитаную в конце поэму и соболезную твоей утрате, Лекс.

man u made your grandma proud...may her soul rest in peace...strenght to u and your family

Who on Earth would downvote this? My deepest sympathies Lex. Sounds like she led a great life

Lex, Thank you for sharing some of what made your grandmother profound with us. My takeaway from your words and the poem as a whole is to be okay with that which you have, and if you aren't, fight everyday until you have that which you are. I'm glad you have allowed that fire your grandmother instilled within you to burn so bright and have shared its warmth with us. Best Regards, Hunter

God bless you Lex, and may she rest in peace. I lost my last grandparent, my mother's mother, last year, and there's no real way to describe that feeling of letting that generation of family go.

God bless you, Lex. God has another angel now, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less for those of us left behind. You will be with her again one day.

Wonderful tribute. She would no doubt be immensely proud. May her memory be for a blessing.

That was so beautiful. 💙

I wasn't blessed with an inspirational grandmother, but you have now allowed me to make your grandmother my grandmother. I am thankful for the lessons, and thankful that you shared them, Lex. You're the best.

What a touching tribute to your grandma. It sounds like she was a wonderful woman in your life. 💖

This moved me far more than I expected it to. Here you have described exactly my own mother who, I am endlessly grateful to say, is still with us. She has always been an angel and a blessing to all who know her. I really understand and feel for your loss for, if I ever lost my mum, I can't imagine the pain it would cause me... Your sharing this has filled my heart with those that I love. I wish you the strength that she bestowed to you and the solace of knowing you made her proud.

I lost my father 5 years ago, it was hell .... may her soul rest in peace , and I hope god gives you the strength to deal with these hard times . much love, and god bless you.

My heart is with you. I feel that your grandma is a big influence in your life and I'm lucky that you transfer her influence forward through yourself. Your work influences me a lot, keep being you, you're awesome. 😊

Lex you are such a great inspiration and role model for many of us. Through your podcasts you have ignited the flame of curiosity for science and innovation which is necessary to recruit young minds that will make the difference in this world. Your lessons are watched by your Mexican student (myself) whom you have never known. It is not only the work you have done but also the positive influence it has on others. Thank you for being Lex Fridman, and continue with the Legacy

If she was the one who taught you those things, how to be a man.... She did a fine job. I don't know you, but it is obvious through your words that you are a good man, a good person and just a wonderful human being. I am sure she is and has always been proud of who you are. I am so sorry for you loss.

I come back to this one often. It speaks to me like only the rare things do

I'm sure your grandmother is very proud of you, Lex. Sending love to you. Keep going. You are so inspiring.

Very touching. Sorry for your loss. Lost both of my parents last year hit me deep

She is an incredible person. Everything she said was pure truth, and know that, from the top of the mountain, she is looking at you proudly. Congratulations for having such a beautiful grandma.

Such a beautiful tribute.May she rest in peace!

Such beautiful words. As a mother, it made me think about the impact I have in my kids and husband. You made me cry, you are a wonderful man and I am sure your grandmother is proud that your message of knowledge, kindness and love is reaching out to so many people - you've already accomplished a great thing in life: to inspire thousands of people all over the world. I am praying for your grandma and for you. We love you, Lex.

This was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen here on youtube, and maybe outside of it. Thank you for sharing your memories and lessons, I will take them with me. You have made a difference. Thank you.

Youre a good man lex I truly wish you nothing but the best in life. Also thank you for sharing these thoughts they really do bring people happiness

Remembering my father’s mother who immigrated from Norway to Minnesota and American citizenship. Salute to Lex’s grandmother who passed away in Russia.

You have done your grandmother proud with these words, Lex 🌈💕

you are love - and are making our world's future full positivity and that love - and I thank you!

How lucky you are to have had such a solidly grounded grandmother to have encouraged you to become a/the best version of you. A lovely tale of treasuring life. Thank you. ❤ Your essence is just too endearingly sweet for words. Lucky grandmother to have had you - an appreciator of goodness - to dote on. . . sigh. . . 😊

Treasure love. What a message! Thank you Lex for sharing the privilege you had for growing up with this remarkable woman. Im so moved

Your grandmother inspired magic...Thank You for sharing with us.

One of my favorite people talking about one of his favorite people, Oh I will listen to that on any given day.

My grandma would have been 81 today, she passed away at the end of last year. Thank you for this video.

So beautiful. It very much described my mother. Cannot tell you how much it meant to me.

To all my oma i lost this year aswell, gone far too soon but never ever forgotten and her love share i treasure for eternity!

So good. Great stuff. Cool lady she was. Always remember that her spirit, her wisdom, is available to Lex... at any time. Just listen and she will talk to you brother.

USA warriors are basically the indigenous peoples. It’s true, the indigenous women too. Both of my grandmothers died before I was born, but I caught their strength, partly through my mother, my uncles, and the photos they appeared in, and the questions I asked. I am listening to how you perceive your grandmother’s words to you, and I can apprehend those words for myself, if they had lived. I am 70. Bless your heart.

I'm so sorry for your loss, losing a grandparent is very hard, I have lost mine and that's something that I'm still getting over many years after. I'm sorry Lex, stay strong.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like a wonderful grandmother. I lost my grandparents over twenty years ago, but still think of them all the time.

resiliency cannot be taught but needs be learned/earned...ur grandma saw in u everything u will need/want/searching for...being still is to allow life to catch up...this world needs more dreamers/lovers/truth seekers/game changers...less status quo...Lex continue to do Lex... the best version U choose to be...U got this!?!! aug6/2022 thank u for sharing/teaching love...beautifully

Thank you lex for this video. I was born in really bad conditions in Russia as well. This video helped me appreciate even more my grandmother who sacrificed for my parents and me. Whole my life I tried do become financially free and everyday I'm getting close to my goal. I want to give my grandma and my parents a really good life since they worked hard their. Царство небесное твоей бабине.

I grew up with my grandmother in a small town Myanmar until I became 6 years old so I can relate the story with you. But my grandmother was an immigrant from China and totally illiterate as all of my parents too. my father learned how to read and write from the monastery. I wish I was given valuable teaching and advice like your grandmother. In that sense, you have a huge advantage so thank her more. Thank you for sharing a heartwarming story.

Thank you for sharing this, Lex. You truly are putting love out into the world. Keep it up, brother.

Here is a little bit of love to give unto an otherwise troubled world in her memory. Thank You for sharing Lex.

Strong and emotional video in memory of your grandmother. Thank you for sharing it... I don't think I could ever express in words everything my grandmother gave to me... Sending you my support

I felt your grandmother's beauty through your words. Thank you for sharing her memory. Having never known her I have learned a lot from her, too. I hope you are doing ok. With much love.

Lex, I think your grandma changed life for a lot of people by making you who you are today. You, Joe rogan, David goggins, Jocko Willink have had a very profound impact on my life.

Most inspiring, keep listing to your gut for your dear grandmother 's loving voice, keep dreaming, keep working hard and creating with humble naivety and a toast to her gracious spirit, may it forever watch over you.

My family is from Russia (in Canada now), and my Babushka was actually originally from Kharkiv aswell, and listening to you speak of her truly brought me to tears. When you spoke about her watching over the world silently, and speaking only when she had wisdom to impart, and teaching you that the emotional ups and downs of everyday will always come, but to stay steady, if was as if you were speaking about my Grandmother. She taught me the importance of words, and how to use them, and to always be wary of the power that they hold, and to wield that power wisely. She taught me that I can do anything, and to never forget the strength that lies within me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing these beautiful memories and lessons. Любовь побеждает. Респект вам из Канады. (Forgive my Russian, I don't ever get to use it)
