I am a very ordinary middle-aged Japanese living in Middle-East for long time. Though I don't understand the technicalities of technology in details, I am learning about the progress of science, technologies and the potential of human beings by watching your podcasts. I learnt the given power of human beings that transcends even science from you. Its sounds too simple to say but I think I will not give up now though many hopes were crushed. Because reaching conclusion is not at this point. Rather, it may start here and now. It's an honor to get to know such an amazing scientist like you through this podcast. May God bless you and your work.　 My heart is with you always.

I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. ru-vid.comUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!

I worked as a chemical operator doing organic chemical reactions. The first time I had to crystalize a chemical which was in its present state dissolved in a solvent the writeup told me to cool it to a certain temperature; but it didn't crystalize. I went to the process chemist because I thought I had made a mistake somewhere and he laughed and pulled a small bottle out of his desk and said to dump this in. He called it "seed". He said that the chemical needed to "remember" the crystal shape. This shocked me. The idea that a chemical needed to remember the shape of the crystal we needed it to form was a shock to me. Fascinating to think in that way about chemical reactions.

Lex, dont stop. You are an inspiration already for many viewers around the world, with the amazing guests you bring and your interesting and clever questions, you touch so many wide variety of topics that every podcast is a blast to wonder. Kudos from Portugal!

In life we move on, but I hope you never cease your efforts in this amazing podcast. It gives me reason to keep going, keep asking questions, keep discovering, and most of all, a reason to be curious about what tomorrow can be. You are a great person. I'm glad that Im able to continuously know you and meet people that I would never know without this podcast. Love you Lex

Lex, this podcast brings me so much joy. Thank you for doing what you have done and whatever you decide to do in the future. Podcast or not.

@perfectfutures Год назад

This may be one of the best podcasts ever. The very fact you ask these questions, bringing out the details that other listeners want to hear without knowing it is what makes them special. This, along with your humility to paraphrase and appreciate your guests is a very rare skill. Most people are only interested in their own views whereas you open the door for other beings to fully express theirs. Please keep going, the universe and especially this planet with it’s stumbling confused media need you! And I wish all the best to you and your family. Thank you for being a human being for real!

If you feel like you're burning out, by all means slow down and take a rest.... but PLEASE don't ever stop sharing your unique perspective and love! 🙏 Your impact is immeasurable and the world would be a lesser place without you and your efforts! We will need this kind of free thinking and compassion as we move through this next phase of humanity and culture, which could be heaven or hell on earth.... Let us continue to share what it means to be human (humane, or compassionate) and join together while the powerful forces of government and corporations are trying to split us apart! Much love! 🧡

Personally I find these podcast episodes with scientists doing groundbreaking research, and who are capable of discussing ideas, the most interesting ones. Thanks, Lex!

Lex, I am an English teacher of 19.5 years standing and have worked extensively on my listening and really being 'in' the conversation. You are an excellent inspiration in this regard. You do it effortlessly :) Keep up the good work :)

@rainbowinthedark453 2 года назад

Lex your podcasts are crucial and help me mentally. In all the chaos and news that use our minds to play to their narrative I can’t even barely watch Main Street media. They completely lost my trust. I just hope if you take a well deserved break no matter how long, you come back to us your audience who adore you. You are so honest and good. I would be proud for my son to grow up like you. Your work is definitely appreciated. Thank you. I think you deserve a break, I can only imagine how heartbreaking and mentally taxing this war in Ukraine is on you. It must pain your heart immensely, as it breaks my heart and I don’t even have the personal ties such as yourself. Hang in there. Another fine podcast.

Absolute top quality stuff! Such great work by whoever is lining up the oh so many fascinating guests for this show. Lex you are a legitimate "sense maker" in the world today but you also do such an incredible job at helping the listener to build a foundational understanding for themselves. You are cultivating a movement of goodness, intellectual curiosity, openness, and humility that I think is absolutely essential for the forward progress of humanity!! I LOVE YOU

@louisfranklin5492 Год назад

Nice. I agree. We are evolving into something new. Hopefully, Better. One thing I know. The Balance will be maintained. That's ALL that I KNOW. I LOVE YOU, too.

I couldn’t agree more! I have become a better talker myself just by listening to the interviews on this podcast! I have never had anything like this that actually teaches better language skills! God bless you Lex!!

This conversation displays the huge power of curiosity over ego. I loved this interaction more than any other so far. In all the history of time and virtual infinity of space, the universe decided to put you two together right now. What’s the chances?

@devonlewis474 2 года назад

When Lex said “all drugs matter” jokingly I realized yeah . That’s what I love about Lex . He’s smart enough to keep up with these guys but cool and down to earth enough to know when to throw some relevant humor in .

The existence of Lex and his podcast is acting as a catalyst, a torch in these dark times. The importance of your work cannot be measured, and as long as you keep on fighting others will be emboldened by your endurance.

@hundredcaws Год назад

Why you think the times are dark? It is not that i am seeing it too bright but just want to share feelings why you see it that way?

@fidelmaclifton1723 2 года назад

Lex, these are very difficult times for Ukraine, for family in Russia, your friends, your colleagues and you. Worldwide ordinary people are reaching out in ways that reflect the values you hold at the heart of your Podcast - learning (from incredible guests), understanding, love and hope, so I believe where there is life, there is hope ! As a listener I really appreciate the effort it must take from your busy life put out your Podcast. Keep the faith & hope as we all navigate these times.

For a curiosity junkies this podcast is our fix. 4 hours sounded like an overdose; it was a mellow rush and brought a steady stream of incredible mind bending wonder to the fantastical world we inhabit. I only want to say Thank You for the journey, I am truly inspired.

Your introduction brought tears to my eyes. I hope you still continue doing your podcast but if not I hope you will bring it back it has brought light to so many people who are enthusiastic about science but do not have an academic background. Take care, Lex.

Lex you and your guests are incredible. Every podcast of yours that I watch makes my life better. This is one of my favorite conversations yet. I’m just a 30-year-old Mom in North Carolina trying to understand the universe, and you have changed my life for the better, you make life worth living

@noahschwarz2555 2 года назад

Lex you changed my life. Through your podcasts i have found my way into being interested in literally every topic. Because of you i began to look into medicine. Now i m studying human medicine in austria. Thank you a lot. Keep doing what makes you happy. But please take us with you on your adventure. We love you too much.

@swirlinember1974 2 года назад

When you model two people having a respectful back and forth dialogue you are giving an extremely important gift to the world. As opposed to where impatience and debate become a normal way of having a verbiage interaction leaving people feeling lonely and ruled over. Your conversations create rather than tear down. We need this. Thank you so much.
