I've long been thinking about writing a Substack article about Lex Fridman being astroturfed but I never really knew where to start. It was just a hunch I had, so I didn't want to slander him as a spy or whatever without any proof -- just based on my gut feeling and gossip -- and I never bothered to spend the time to do the research. Maybe I will use this article as inspiration / as a jumping off point.
It is no longer crazy to hypothesize that media personalities like Friedman and Shapiro work either explicitly or implicitly as Zionist agents. This is very significant because Zionism, by its very definition, requires adherents to place “the tribe” above all others, even if this means compromising one’s own country.
He needs a good slap. He's the definitive gamma-male racist. I urge you to look into Israeli military unit 8200 for technology spying and theft which is a global operation and can be researched on LinkedIn.
As much as I love the type of long freestyle interviews that Rogan popularized and Fridman is now giving a more intellectual touch, I've been wary of his origins for some time. He claims to be a Russian-born Jew with Russian & Ukranian roots who migrated to the US with little to nothing, but somehow he surpassed Rogan in fame in no time, by managing to get every expert in every field to talk with him? That sure is... odd...
With him recently uploading pictures of his martial arts sparring sessions with Elon Musk and him just uploading an interview with Netanyahu, it's hard not to suspect him being a Mossad agent. The martial arts training definitely fits the profile. And it sure would explain his remarkably fast rise to fame, as well as his access to highly influential people only a very select few have access to.
Hello, Charles. I have been curious about Lex Friedman's background too! I noticed how he was adulated on LinkedIn, in 2021. I couldn't ascertain if he had a PhD, quite what or where he studied, and the chronology was irregular. Odd how he presented himself as a full-time PhD post-grad physicist. Peculiar to do that AND have an active podcast, make lengthy LinkedIn posts and engaging with replies, etc. Lex seems to live rather comfortably, and travel a lot, which is also odd.
Drexel used to be a small college in Philadelphia, offering degrees in a narrow slice of the applied sciences and engineering. It was a smaller version of Temple U, "the working man's college". Students were mostly male, part-time, employed, and older than 25. Since 2010, it received a lot of attention and money. Now it is a university with full-time students and national visibility.
You mentioned NN Taleb. He is a nice man. Well, that's not the best way to put it! The longer I know him, the more I appreciate him. Humble brag: we are mutuals on Twitter. We do similar work, focusing on probability in its own right, not merely a subdomain of statistics. Except I don't function at his level!
Charles Johnson, I'm back, again and have some Lex Fridman information to share with you! I had not focused on the video about the older Fridman bro upon first reading your post. I agree that he is a bit OCD about that Rivian vehicle! (This will be my 4th comment on your post, which is also a bit OCD admittedly.) I finally navigated to the younger of the Brothers Fridman's LinkedIn. I beheld something so vapid that it defied belief.
As you said, Greg Fridman is formerly of Drexel (a formerly staid, solid, stolid, and respectable physical and natural sciences college in Philadelphia). Greg has a PhD just like Lex. You must see Greg's company's website to believe it. He is the CEO. Why does anyone with products selling for under $50 https://aaplasma.com/store need two EEs, an ME, and a virologist?! And why would anyone who supposedly designed websites for 4 years make his own company's website all purple?! But it gets better! Greg Fridman got his PhD at Drexel, in the SAME department that his father is chairman. Also, his father's name is Alexander Fridman, and he's sometimes known as Alex. This presents a big problem, as Lex Fridman is Jewish. Jews don't name their children after still-living relatives, i.e. no Jr. or the III. How can Lex have the same name as his dad?
There's lots more I found, but I'll stop now. I think there is some serious NSF fraud going on. One more thing: Dad Fridman is supposedly the originator of an entirely new field of physics called plasma physics. I'm really suspicious. Everyone in that plasma physics department at Drexel has Ukrainian names. Oh and one last thing: Dad Fridman won some sort of award from George Soros in 2005 or so!
P.S. I realized that we know people in common! Like Pax and Levi who used to be hyperstitious on Twitter. Oh, and I cleaned up your ClearView entry on Wikipedia a little bit. I edit and try not to troll.
Good stuff

Yet more Jewish subversion, oy vey!

Most interesting. Thanks.
