@Stovo That's his worldview in general, and in some contexts it can be useful if your competing against those who also want to outcompete and out value generate you in your specific niche. I think it's more likely he's conversion to Islam is a publicity stunt, he's only doing that for more marketing and attention.

@Oeaohoo Technically, all that is still relative to one's stage of development, cognitive and moral development, ego development, personality typing, life experiences per area of life and other lines of development and circumstances. Also, it depends on one's mind, what worldviews it has, indoctrinations in it's upbringing, shadow aspects from it's family, and self bias and preferences and what senses it likes to process more. So, If I'm a conservative, I'd view relativism with some close mindedness and defensiveness, because relativism follows with it moral relativism, which can challenge and attempts to detach moral absolutists frameworks, traditional and religious moral constructions enforced culturally throughout times and generations. However, if I'm more liberal minded, I'd view relativism with some open mindedness and less defensiveness, as the moral relativism that follows is antagonistic to the traditional norms and absolutist/traditional morality, which is bias opposition to this view, especially if I also identify as progressive/socialist or even communistic. Plus, If I'm a business minded stage orange person, I'd view this for the potentials and efficiency of how this relativism can increase my productivity and profits, and how I can set up these transactions to leverage that. If I'm more stage green values, I'd view this relativism as good for the down trodden, and a force against the bourgeois class of rich and their moral mechanisms. If my value set is more stage blue or even stage red, I'm going to try to control, manipulate and exploit this relativism for amassing a following that I can gain a cult following, and benefits from. Also, If I'm cognitively different, if my mind is more Schizophrenic minded, how I think of relativism will be more different than the normal range of cognition of the masses, my mind would likely more literally interpret whatever interpretations of Relativism. If I have a bipolar disordered mind, then I'd be talking and thinking more in the lines of Kayne West, jumping and abstracting several topics without properly resolving each thread idea.

@Stovo Relatively speaking, I don't see too much wrong in him having more stage red values, but it's more stage blue and orange. Also nothing wrong with the overreaction, at least we know more when some people react or not.

SO! Returning to the main theme of this thread, should Lex Fridman have used TechLead's face without asking for permission? Is it legal and ethical?

Even though @Leo Gura made distinctions between the conservative mind and liberal mind, in reality, some peolle have a bit of both conservative and liberal parts of a mind. All depending on context, and his video mainly discusses the conservative mind first in a political context, and then proceeds to list hundreds of examples of a conservative mind in some other contexts, it's important to note that the mind can also vary between conservative or liberal. A mind can open and be opening to feedback or ideas or alternatives, but also can close and be closing down to other ideas or possibilities that it perceives as threatening, for good reason. Asymmetrical yet balanced.

@mr_engineer Yes, that's pretty offensive, and a shame, the book looked nice. What did the book ever do to you bro? #bookslivesmatter.

@Romanov Atheism is the new religion because most atheists are not aware that they have constructed their self identity, and the majority of atheists believe in an abscence of God, and for the most part only follow those who are persuasive and convincing in their rhetoric and argumentation, and quickly deffer to authority in terms of Science and scientific advances. Because of how mucb more efficiently Science corrects itself as a modal than religion, the big bang, human brain and evolution of life modals are worshipped largely in modern society. All this because of the stage of development, cognitive and moral development, personality typing, ego development, life experiences and other lines of development. Worldviews, beliefs systems, and indoctrination in one's upbringing are significant factors.

@Oeaohoo Yes, no more conserving, only serving! Now serve me some liberal amounts of breakfast!?

@mr_engineer catchy dance moves and catchy music, for 60 seconds and less. Mainly because the tech companies and those running the companies are smart enough to know how to hijack the limbic system of the brain, and take advantage of dopamine hits. Along with that knowledge, they also can tailor their algorithms and in most cases the majority of those short to very short videos gets upregulated far more based on views and click and likely emotional triggering topics, over videos with much less click and views potential. And this is just limited to dancing, there are a ton of content mostly entertainment of drawings, sped up paintings, cat videos, edited clips of music and rap songs, jokes, political satire, porn videos, twerking, and so on. All range from 10 seconds, to 15-20, 30 40-50, sometimes 1-2 mins. No, this doesn't contradict Holism, this is also part of the totality within existence, including this social media addiction manufactured by Silicon Valley tech companies, and in this specific case, Hua Wei and Chinese government as soft form of mass moral degradation. Until we have enough on-going research to show stronger correlations of over consumption of social media short edited clips and other forms of social media to negative impacts of brain health and lower IQ to EQ scores generationally. Or, when it's time for America to treat this problem seriously and unify much more the polarized groups.

@Tyler Robinson Quite a few, from encouraging laziness and cheating Andy mentality, to certain types of visual art jobs being made more outdated, and so on. for example, in www.consilienceproject.com, in their technology article Daniel Schmachtenberger talks about how tools, tool sets, technological ecology systems, and technology epochs happen, and a piece of technology can influence how you feel and think. With the invention of cars, that literally shaped how we thought about time travel and journeys, how it opened up other niches of business and commerce involving cars, how we designed environments that are car friendly and car biased more than bicycles or train friendly in the USA compared to town/city designs say in the UK, Europe countries like Holland, or Japan's city designs and so on with every little tool or tech invented, from small and physical like the plow, the scythe, fences, up to the digital like social media platforms like Twitter/Facebook or YouTube, and how their algorithms up or down regulate content and highly successfully caters and curates content towards your biases and preferences to you and your in-group ideologies.

@Scholar So, the specific issues you have for A.I are more localized towards big corporations using these data sets for their own uses, and justifying theft as legal use for their point of view? If an artist found out that parts of his/her image was used without their knowing by A.I and the corporation doesn't give them some credit, but credit mostly placed to the A.I? I feel like we don't have a good definition for what is plagiarism or what is natural studying and copying for growth and mastery. Maybe this is also part of the mass concerns towards A.I image generators taking over certain types of artistic jobs, no? Also, the threats of established self/other constructed identities, for example graphic designers, illustrators, architecture designers, the feeling their self image and purpose dying and stolen by A.I, being the main factor?

The latest Lex Fridman video. Looks interesting, I'm giving it a watch, intuitively feels strange and some conflations being made of communism/socialism/progressivism from the guest, and Lex doing his best not to look bad faith. After giving it a watch, what are your thoughts, impressions, feelings of this discussion? More or less good faith?

@Yog If you don't mind, could you link your friend's account here? I want to see. P.S. Actually nice video! Some type of heavy metal, I think the instrumentals are: An electric guitar, that long trumpet in the opening, either a harmonica or ocarina or some type of piano with that dripping soft sound, plus electro modified vocals I can't even understand, nice scratchy, chaotic and emotionally soft music over all! Also, nice thumbnail art, I can tell it's soft graphite on a rough textured paper. Yes, it's a shame when a person posts artwork that may have some loose connections to a Nazi guy. Even the Swastika was originally a spiritual symbol, the swastik, I think either came from Buddhism or Hinduism.

An aside, I've been getting some YouTube channels, whenever I comment on some of them, some of this channels comment about me and ask to join or link my Whatsapp. They also have long number and symbol string as well. Is this a scam or some misinformation? I don't know exactly what to report these as.

@axiom How do you know who/what group/system backing money can be trusted? What standards are you using, to justify that printing flat currency, is immoral and evil? Because they are very rich, and many are very poor? Is it because of the nature of loaning and debt? Is it valid to state, one sided, that they impose an enormous burden on future generations, but what about the majority of people in the lower to middle class, that also place a burden upon the wealthy?

@axiom That's such a bad faith straw manning of what Leo meant. Please be more charitable, the original context was about the evolution of currency. We can't get Bitcoin/cryptocurrency without flat currency and the banking system established first, along with providing millions of people with the internet and computers that enable access to open source or paid websites. Without the internet, computers, banking system and flat currency, and the economic history of currency, we can't even conceive of a bitcoin cryptocurrency modal. Also a sub argument point here, the number of thefts and other theft related crimes committed in the bitcoin/cryptocurrency side is way higher than the thefts committed with flat currency systems. There's ironically more accountability with banks acting as third parties in a transaction than billions of live computers, some of which you don't know are algorithms designed by hackers to track and decode your crypto wallet key, and other new digital scams around crypto currency.

@Leo Gura Really? So there's no deception from Lex Fridman when he was interviewing Kanye West? Seemed very out of character.

A few more:

Interesting video, first of many lawsuits to come.

@integral It'll be Sky Net before we can do anything to stop that. Game over, GG Humanity.

@Scholar I really agree that A.I. needs to have a bit more regulation, from congress or some other group outside of Silicon Valley. Also, they need to check the algorithms again, as the algorithms are recommending me stuff I ALREADY BLOCK! Still, an interesting video of VICE, a group who's VICE is being not NICE to the RIGHT for also being not NICE. If I could, I'd dumb a bucket of ICE for every TIME they spit on the MIC their SICK IDEOLIGIZING puritanizing alienating video TAKES!!!?

@zurew At least to me, foolish immature Progressive/socialistic ideas being implemented, and more dangerous communism and anarchism. The right has far worse and dangerous ideas from the Alt right though. Even the Alt right beats the Alt left for how worse their ideology is!

@axiom Elon Musk seems like a right leaning moderate though, who's hardcore stage orange and saw an opportunity to try and cash into making Twitter his own platform, whilst trying to galvanize support for and from Trump's base. I also agree with most of your points, and yes we can draw thousands of historical examples of the failings of Communism and misinterpretations of left leaning ideals. However, I see all that as a byproduct of cultural evolution of thought and consciousness, to me it was the SD value systems, cognition, morality, states of emotions/consciousness, psychology, life experiences, and other lines of development like social infrastructure, economy, market, political, environmental and technological development of communications and so on, and the limits of Traditional Monarchical rule over the peasants. It is due to the technological epoch and transformational dilemma of those cultures.

@Oeaohoo As much as I have a bias against Lex Fridman, based on his SD value systems, cognition, morality, ego development, personality type, states of consciousness, worldviews and bias, compared to me you seem to have a greater bias against him. @Leo Gura and @Carl-Richard, is it possible that Lex Fridman is himself a grifter, but one that has cleverly disguised himself as a person pursuing good faith conversations, world peace and love and so on?

@RedLine It's relative and based on stage of development, cognitive and moral development, personality, ego development, states of being/consciousness life experiences, other lines of development, worldviews and self bias of the person. For example, while the guy in the video has a valid point, he also has a biased take, as if he's a fan of Kanye West and doesn't like Lex Fridman. His mind seems to have generalized and distorted Lex Fridman's interview as cringe so the entire interview was cringe. Keep in mind Kanye West is likely mostly stage orange/green, introverted Narcissist, ego development is either at opportunist/impulsive or just above them, his state of consciousness is like effected by his level of cognition of that of a Bipolar disordered mind type which effects his ability to stay coherent and consistent with a conversation topic and thread, and tends to more jump to several topics without properly resolving those thoughts and interconnecting them properly. This in turn effects his level of morality, of being able to understand and empathize with other people and in to out groups. Kanye West also is bragging his racist and antisemitism views, Narcissism, and his partial mental disorder, also likely as a coping mechanism for his other areas of life regressing, such as his marriage and relationships being declining, and his mind being also religious Christian bias, which affects his fear barrier of facing the possibility of divorce and never seeing his children again, which is such a threat for him that he is distracting himself with this attention whoring, racism/anti Semitism bragging, because he is a billionaire still financially secure enough and still can create another career opportunity for himself later. Lex Fridman, despite knowing this, and identifying as partly Jewish himself, made the decision to interview Kanye West, edit the video, and with little considerations of the ramifications of his actions, decides to post and make public that interview, which to me in my book shows how Lex Fridman is willing to sacrifice some integrity for clicks and viewership increase.
