I met and talked with Jony Ive over coffee yesterday. He is a legendary designer behind the iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and he's a great human being who I've looked up to for a long time. We agreed to do a podcast when I'm back from Eastern Europe. Life is beautiful.

I'm traveling around Europe. If you can suggest recording/office space or can be a tour guide to interesting local places, please let me know here: lexfridman.com/travel

The meeting has been a few years in the making, but it was worth it! Thanks Lex Fridman for the fascinating conversation - and the game of chess :) - it was a lot of fun!

I'm visiting DeepMind soon to talk about AI. Should be fun.

Noone is perfect. If you look for the bad you will find it. If you look for the good, you will find it. Choose wisely what you look for.

Here's my conversation with Douglas Murray, author of Madness of Crowds and The War on the West. He makes the case against cultural Marxism and the war on Western values, providing a countervailing perspective to the previous episode. youtube.com/watch?v=EG7I6B…
