Lex Fridman on Twitter drama over reading list

Looking at the thread, most of the replies are kissing Lex Fridman's ass. The dude went searching for haters and made a video whining when he found some.

Nassim Taleb is right about this guy. Lex Fridman is totally fake.

I guess my feeling is that I'm surprised he hadn't read all those books long ago.

Clearly you haven't watched the video

The video was cringingly defensive.

His original tweet said, “The following is an ever-evolving list of books I’m hoping to read (or in many cases re-read) in 2023.”

“In many cases”

As I said, I’m surprised he hadn’t read all of them long ago, since he holds himself as a public intellectual.

Does he? I don't recall him ever calling himself an intellectual. And must all intellectuals have read all of these books? Or maybe he's just a guy who likes reading.
