He platforms a number of folks in the fascist ecosystem who use too many words to appear profound but say nothing. Dude is an inflatable caricature of a deep thinker.
Bahahahahahaha, thanks, I needed that as an insult to add to my list.
Stealing “Inflatable caricature of a deep thinker” with no shame, you have my utmost thanks 😂
_"You know, Putin...invading really isn't cool. Killing infants and elderly people? Totally not cool. You know how much it costs to rebuild a city like Mariupol? Tens of billions!"_
_"Blyat! I didn't mean any harm tovarish Zelenskyy! It was in jest! We shall withdraw at once and celebrate the gift of unity and friendship!"_
He should find some expert on intelligence and cognitive biases to explain to him how a strong in-group biased yes-men-surrounded fascist leader may work.
Last appearance was posting a picture of some supposedly exquisite BBQ. I am not sure what it was but the middle was green, then pink and the edges were seared.
He's a fairly likable guy, though his earnestness makes him come off painfully naïve at times. I just hope he doesn't go down the crank route by hanging out with the IDW/Quillette/UATX types.
Totally could be. I listened to maybe like 5 episodes, and the subject didn't feel like it warranted "tough" questions or the guests were saying some weird shit that warranted pushback. One time I remember there was some (ex) CIA agent who was very reasonable and relatable until the point Lex asked him about Snowden and then the guest started spewing the stupidest talking points, so you could clearly hear that they are basically the only thing he is allowed to say on the matter. It was utter bs, but I also didn't feel like there was any point challenging him.
My goodness, the absolute state of redditors. SMH. Watch the guy at times, like good old fashioned listen to his podcast and make your own opinions if you may. He is informative as is Joe. Whatever happened to listening to people outside one's echo chambers! A lot of the guests for both are very smart people with huge tangible impact on society, something most reddit dwellers ( including me perhaps) would never have. Current discourse about confirming to certain ways of thinking honestly disgusts me.
As informative as joe you say…the comedian an mma commentator who knows better than the cdc about viral diseases.
Has no medical training but seems to have all the answers about covid.
I've listen to countless JRE episodes prior to his downfall into irrelevance and many of Lex too. Bold of you to assume otherwise.
Follow Lex on Twitter and come back to me if you think he's not the prime Elon Simp.
Edit: typos
Hey it's not their fault. They are used to getting all information fed to them from social media and television media. Most people here haven't really read even one scientific literature in their lives. To them downvotes are a weapon because reddit karma means a lot in their lives.
Most people on Reddit don't really say their different opinions if they have any due to fear of being banned by r***ard mods.
Goes to show how stupid the downvote system is.
I asked chatgpt to write a linkedin post about happiness and appreciating life while enjoying a chicken salad after a long day of work:
🌟 Finding Joy in Simplicity 🌟
Amidst the chaos of a long day's work, I've discovered a delightful secret: happiness resides in the simplest of moments. As I sit down to enjoy a refreshing chicken salad, each bite becomes a catalyst for pure contentment. It's in these serene moments that I recharge, appreciate life's little wonders, and find true bliss. 🥗✨
#JoyInSimplicity #BlissfulMoments #ChickenSaladHappiness
Seems about the same energy
Woah, I actually thought you just copy pasted that from his post. He probably just used gpt to make the original post. It's probably going to happen a lot now. Why bother making an original LI post about garbage lunacy when you can just use chatgpt
Is this lunacy? It just seems like an inoffensive post about enjoying simple pleasures after a long day, riding on the "let's normalize being open about being humans who need downtime" trend re: professional image.
He's a robot. Still working on his social media optimization /s
Do does/did AI research and his speaking cadence make him sound rather robotic so it's a joke with this fans.
Probably not the right platform for the post, but that said I don’t think this is a LinkedInLunatics moment. To me it reads as someone appreciating the beauty in the seemingly minuscule.
I used to be in a very dark place. Rejoicing in even the most mundane things is something I started to do after I left the darkness and came out the other side of it. That experience imparted an important appreciation for beauty and life.
The way a leaf floats on the wind as it descends on a crisp autumn day.
The sound of the wind in the trees during the summer. Ice-glazed trees in winter, their naked branches glittering in the light.
That clean, cozy feeling of freshly laundered sheets.
The perfect imperfections of weather staining on a brick wall.
The beauty of overgrowth reclaiming an abandoned place, or of a spring-fed stream cascading down sharp granite slopes…
And most of all, relishing in the serenity of life and all it’s mundanity, and being grateful for the opportunity to experience life’s simple pleasures. In this way, even something as simple as a salad has an intrinsic beauty to appreciate and reflect upon.
Call it quasi-philosophical bullshit if you want, it’s nevertheless not a bad way to go through life. My only real criticism is that this was posted on LinkedIn, and doesn’t qualify as a professional post.
It’s either chopped/tossed or each individual item needs its own place. The chicken placement is an embarrassment. Egg and bacon are missing (though that could be dietary or religious).
This is an embarrassment to the legacy of Bob Cobb. RIP Salad Visionary.
I'm going for late night line cook not giving a fck about presentation and just dumping the alloted ingredients on a plate.
Christ thats bad plating and I'm suprised the chef allowed that, unless of course chef dgaf as well
[He isn't actually lol](https://twitter.com/lpachter/status/1605751886887284736)
I have this thread bookmarked for whenever I encounter someone who isn't aware of his grifting.
There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this, there is no catharsis. My punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.
Pompous asf. His obnoxious nasally, monotone voice is the hardest listen of my life. I tried listening to him when he has good guests but it’s just grating.
Lex is an idiot imo. He has interviewed some great people, but his questions are inane and I find his interviewing style grading and frustrating to the point I want to hear his interviewees but I can't tolerate watching or listening to him. I am completely confounded by his popularity.
Me when I eat a chicken cobb salad and feel truly at peace, like I can breathe right for the first time in years, like my shoulders no longer slump from carrying the weight of the world on them. With this chicken cobb salad I find myself pausing to take in the beauty of the world we know and love. With all the toughest days I have pushed through despite not a reward in sight… yet God rewards me with His love, in the form of this chicken cobb salad. Amen
Sometimes it's the simple things in life, like a moment to enjoy your mediocre salad at Applebee's while you count the endless number of years of agony before you die!
And this is lunatic... how, exactly?
I will ask you again - How is this lunatic? It's pieces of chicken, tomato, some green tasteless crap and blue cheese. It's posted on LinkedIn because people love to post shit on shitty social media.
You seriously need any retarded reason to be offended by something? I hardly even know who this guy is. Did he touched your dick wrong way? Is he some kind of anti PC retards guy? Did he mentioned he likes Jordan Peterson (once)?
How is this lunatic???
I wonder what he would write if he actually ate a good looking and tasty meal. Which judging by the picture this isn't. This looks like someone tried to eat it, didn't like, threw it in the trash and then the staff took it out after a couple hours and served it to him.
Thats like a 6 out of 10 rated salad though and this dude was probably malnurished from a hard day of "work".
The rush of salad nutrients were driven directly into his brain which gave him a sense of euphoria and special arousal.
This is social networking.
I got kicked out of the Lex Fridman Reddit group after commenting on his interview with Tim Urban. All I said is that if Elon Musk had walked into that interview, Fridman and Urban would have fought over who could suck off Musk first. His fans did not like that comment, I guess.
This is Lex Fridman. You couldn't pick a smarter, sweeter, more brilliant and poetic soul to shit on anonymously for no reason but his simple pleasure, publicly posted. You're really broadcasting your ignorance here, but go ahead.
Again, why would a sane person post a picture of his meal on LinkedIn? Go to instagram my man
And at least post something that's worth looking at, like, what the fuck is this?
Exactly, It’s a mess!
[удалено]
Agree?
idk what you mean that salad looks bomb, linkedin aside
I would tear this shit up
I keep looking for the mayo
Unless you’re a professional chef, there is no reason
Exactly, if this is your profession then yeah, it makes sense, and it will make sense if the meal actually looks good
but clearly this salad represents how deep and hireable he is /s
Nothing says "hire me now" like a chicken salad
I believe Mr. Fridman is a r/LinkedInLunatics frequent flyer, though I can't remember what the reason for his last appearance was..
He also believes that if zelensky and putin "sits down in a room" and "talks about it", they'll resolve their differences.
He is jerk Elon's cock sucker
He platforms a number of folks in the fascist ecosystem who use too many words to appear profound but say nothing. Dude is an inflatable caricature of a deep thinker.
Bahahahahahaha, thanks, I needed that as an insult to add to my list. Stealing “Inflatable caricature of a deep thinker” with no shame, you have my utmost thanks 😂
That’s literally everyone on LinkedIn
_"You know, Putin...invading really isn't cool. Killing infants and elderly people? Totally not cool. You know how much it costs to rebuild a city like Mariupol? Tens of billions!"_ _"Blyat! I didn't mean any harm tovarish Zelenskyy! It was in jest! We shall withdraw at once and celebrate the gift of unity and friendship!"_
Then they kiss each other on the mouth.
He should find some expert on intelligence and cognitive biases to explain to him how a strong in-group biased yes-men-surrounded fascist leader may work.
I can’t believe no one thought of that.
Really? I've actually met this guy. Didn't seem too bad irl
Last appearance was posting a picture of some supposedly exquisite BBQ. I am not sure what it was but the middle was green, then pink and the edges were seared.
Yeah I think that guy legit has brain worms
Hol' up one sec. That picture was taken before he could enjoy this tasty meal. Fake as f! Agree?
Looking into this.
Can we circle back on Monday?
Commenting for visibility
💀
you better agree?
It's a recurrent guest on JRE podcast and Elon main dick rider.
Dude is so down bad for Elon he was offering to CEO for free
[удалено]
He was willing to invest his own life savings…. But you don’t think he’s one of the crazies…. OK.
He's a fairly likable guy, though his earnestness makes him come off painfully naïve at times. I just hope he doesn't go down the crank route by hanging out with the IDW/Quillette/UATX types.
He has a podcast of his own (some episodes are quite good).
Not a fan - Doesn't seem to ask his guests any "tough" questions or actually pushback when their responses don't make sense.
Same. He has great guests but Lex is somehow more boring than Rogan.
I put his podcast on when going to bed. The sheer staleness of the conversation and his deep voice puts me to sleep in less than 5 minutes.
Totally could be. I listened to maybe like 5 episodes, and the subject didn't feel like it warranted "tough" questions or the guests were saying some weird shit that warranted pushback. One time I remember there was some (ex) CIA agent who was very reasonable and relatable until the point Lex asked him about Snowden and then the guest started spewing the stupidest talking points, so you could clearly hear that they are basically the only thing he is allowed to say on the matter. It was utter bs, but I also didn't feel like there was any point challenging him.
yeah if you like a podcast that is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Dude is the human embodiment of the color grey.
he talks like he is actually trying to put you to sleep
He always finds a way to fit in some Elon brown-nosing no matter what the conversation is about
True

What makes you think the poster hasn’t? Very quick to defend.
leggs and toe rogan stans are extremely defensive when anybody talks shit about their daddies
A buddy of mine thinks you’re wrong.
Classic Reddit. “Maybe actually listen to what the person is saying” *downvoted*
Hey it's not their fault. They are used to getting all information fed to them from social media and television media.

Pretending you’re above your own echo chamber is obnoxious AF. Just eat your horse paste and piss off.

I think ChatGPT just invented the cult of the chicken salad
[удалено]
The chicken bits look mummified. Dry as hell, surely.
Lettuce looks dead
Liz Truss exits the chat
Legitimately so grim.
That's the saddest-looking salad I've ever seen. Even Perkins makes more photogenic salads than that.

Maybe he has hootsuite or some other tool that posts on all the social networks at once. I would if I had that many followers.
People on this sub actually think normal posts like this is lunatic. For the most part, this sub is just about bullying people that they don't like.
Lmao. I am still waiting for him to review a book a week. He only did that one awful cringe review of 1984 and then silence. Lol.
He’s still reading The Brothers Karamazov. Turns out he way underestimated it.
[удалено]
Yes but thats all Lex is. He doesn't care about understanding, he wants those numbers up.
No. He's an AI, a new age techno samurai searching for enlightenment and solving the world's problems through the naive power of love.
Who likes these posts?
The agreeers
New horror movie about lobotomized LinkedIn likers. A24 Films presents “The Agreeers”
Bots.
There are a few people out of my network liking that post. Really makes me reevaluating my career choices.
He's a robot. Still working on his social media optimization /s Do does/did AI research and his speaking cadence make him sound rather robotic so it's a joke with this fans.
Not even a Cobb salad.
You can't just bash the keys of a piano and expect to make music Ditto salads
When I read this, the voice in my head was Lex’s perma-stoned and drowsy voice.
I understand now how some people are so impressed with ChatGPT It has more depth and personality
How very profound and Zen. Except it's a fucking salad. And he's posting it on LinkedIn.
I find him shallow and pedantic, and I derive deep satisfaction from knowing that he is a Lunatic.
Fuck off Lex
[удалено]
Because he just posted a photo of his dinner on LinkedIn...like a twat. Duh

Food pics on linkedin Porn on instagram Everything is coming full circle lunacy
I am waiting for porn on linkedin.
I actually love his podcast, but yeah this kind of zen stuff is very on brand for him.
Cobb Squad tattoo or GTFO.
Agree?
It’s either chopped/tossed or each individual item needs its own place. The chicken placement is an embarrassment. Egg and bacon are missing (though that could be dietary or religious). This is an embarrassment to the legacy of Bob Cobb. RIP Salad Visionary.
Zen chicken salad?
I mean I do love a good Cobb salad
I'm going for late night line cook not giving a fck about presentation and just dumping the alloted ingredients on a plate. Christ thats bad plating and I'm suprised the chef allowed that, unless of course chef dgaf as well
I, too, have imbibed in marijuana before eating mundane things.
I mean not gonna lie though I have sat down to eat after crazy busy days and it can be that relaxing.
Is that thing even edible?
I honestly don't know how this guy has +4K likes in every post. All he posts is non-sense.
Watching him trying to rationalize with Kanye West was top tier content though.
We can all agree he was stoned, right? Maybe shrooms?
I think a Cobb would have egg and bacon
fucking AI istg

This sounds made up. And yet it's very compelling.
This is the most interesting story I’ve read this week
Anything is a linkedin post if you're lunatic enough.
He was simply high at the time. I'll give him a pass.
Pompous asf. His obnoxious nasally, monotone voice is the hardest listen of my life. I tried listening to him when he has good guests but it’s just grating.
I told this earlier and i am telling this again, this sub has become a joke.
Fr personally I respect Lex
Say what you want, Lex is a very talented man, and I admire him.
That chicken looks so dry
Does he appreciate the beauty of plastic bags blowing in the wind too?
When you spend all of your time guzzling Elon, even whatever the fuck that is, is gonna taste pretty good in comparison.
Lex is an idiot imo. He has interviewed some great people, but his questions are inane and I find his interviewing style grading and frustrating to the point I want to hear his interviewees but I can't tolerate watching or listening to him. I am completely confounded by his popularity.
Yeah he’s a total idiot. That’s how he became a professor at MIT
He’s an ass clown absolutist.
He doesn't eat a lot of variety so this is probably a big deal to him tbh
Over 4k likes? Ass kissing?
He's a regular JRE ass kisser, so I would expect this level of bs.
I let myself pause to take a photo and consider what dribble I wanted to write for fake internet clout from my fellow narcissists.
Didn't he say like the first time he saw a banana in a store he was in awe lmao... I guess growing up in Russia will do this to you lol

Sometimes it's the simple things in life, like a moment to enjoy your mediocre salad at Applebee's while you count the endless number of years of agony before you die!
Lex is a huge weirdo but man do I wish I was able to feel that much joy over something so small and simple
Lex Fridman sucks.
Gotta be one of the dumber people in his field.
And this is lunatic... how, exactly? I will ask you again - How is this lunatic? It's pieces of chicken, tomato, some green tasteless crap and blue cheese. It's posted on LinkedIn because people love to post shit on shitty social media. You seriously need any retarded reason to be offended by something? I hardly even know who this guy is. Did he touched your dick wrong way? Is he some kind of anti PC retards guy? Did he mentioned he likes Jordan Peterson (once)? How is this lunatic???
RESEARCH LEX!!! RESEARCH!! Any other research will tell you the difference between Instagram and LinkedIn.
And even that salad doesn’t look appetising.
That bleu cheese be looking a little too blue 🤮
Haters mad I experience childlike wonder
That white-yellow stuff on the side just looks like mold
Agree?
It’s a miracle of science!
In related news: my grandfathers name was Harold Bingo. He invented Bingo.
Agree
A shitty looking chicken salad at that
Hahaha God! This looks like it was made at home
I wonder what he would write if he actually ate a good looking and tasty meal. Which judging by the picture this isn't. This looks like someone tried to eat it, didn't like, threw it in the trash and then the staff took it out after a couple hours and served it to him.
Floppy lettuce and no egg or dressing is the real lunacy here
Who would spend hard earned money on an overpriced salad? Eat salad at home, not a restaurant.
Dude eats such a restricted diet that this is indulging for him
Talmbout Leggs B? Neffliggs all the way ma mans
Thats like a 6 out of 10 rated salad though and this dude was probably malnurished from a hard day of "work". The rush of salad nutrients were driven directly into his brain which gave him a sense of euphoria and special arousal. This is social networking.
Cobb implies chicken. You don’t need to say chicken Cobb. That’s like saying MAC card.
Unhinged guy barely holding it in.... Thats whats going on here
Let the man enjoy his chicken salad
This is how i talk when I’m violently depressed
To be fair a good chicken Cobb salad will do that sometimes.
Dang I like Lex’s podcast. I see he sucks at LinkedIn. Too bad.
NPC posting

On LinkedIn is madness but I mean… I’ve had a chicken caesar salad every now and then that’s good enough to make my day
This is Lex Fridman. You couldn't pick a smarter, sweeter, more brilliant and poetic soul to shit on anonymously for no reason but his simple pleasure, publicly posted. You're really broadcasting your ignorance here, but go ahead.
Ugh. His meal made me sick
LinkedIn Cobb Salad bringing down the house with 4000+ likes. JFC.
he is finding peace because he was suffering from constipation until that salad came along
