I like that Lex always has prepared questions but also goes off script when he's interested. He's the perfect AI.

He has an amazing ability to sound so certain and so knowledgeable about things he was entirely (and predictably) wrong about.

This episode of the Lex Friedman podcast brought to you by the CIA.

I’m a retired FBI Special Agent, and I can say that Andrew’s thoughts on our government not using surveillance against us, but only for terrorism is incredibly naive.

CIA PAYING YOUTUBE TO PUMP THIS INTO MY BRAIN AT 4AM LOLLL

Лекс, огромное вам спасибо за то что делаете аудио перевод ваших видео. У меня как у человека плохо знающего Английский просто сносит крышу от того что я могу спокойно слушать подкасты с такими легендами людьми. Очень жду переводов других видео. И еще раз спасибо, вы просто чудо

That guy made a living out of lying, but he would never lie to us.

I really appreciate your calm demeanor, Lex. Tired of hyper, screaming interviewers.

"To actually be safe?" What a great question you made Lex. Thank you.

Andrew: I am trained by the most competent spy agency in the world to lie to people and pretend that I am their friend and giving them something they want, but I actually have ulterior motives and am willing to do or say practically anything to achieve those motives. And even though I am not longer employed by the CIA, I still enjoy doing that in my personal life.

Found Lex when he was on Rogan's podcast and can say this is now my #1 watched/listen too thing on the internet. Amazing questions and calmness can have me listening for hours

This guy is like a cool youth pastor for the cia

I so enjoy your podcast... I know it was not easy to hear things so bluntly...

Don’t trust a guy that defends national surveillance. Especially when he says those that care about privacy are a threat & shouldn’t have a say in the topic. “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety”~ Ben Franklin

His "moral flexibility" really showed when he talked about Snowden and mass surveillance.
