    I know all about that. Trust me, I hate the guy. His podcast with Zelensky was pathetic. So were his remarks in the podcast episode next to that one.

    Having said that: I dont have idols, but if I had, Terence Tao would be one of them. I will listen to the podcast regardless of Lex.

    Disappointing that he would cozy up to the right wing like this. There are many other places where he could spread the same ideas without implicitly endorsing fascist ideologues.
