Lex Fridman. At first I thought, who is this unheralded plebe and how is he getting famous people to talk to him? Turns out he's thoughtful, oddly charismatic, sufficiently smart, and most importantly, non-cringey.

Not to take anything away from Fridman (he's great!), but I'd imagine being a research scientist at MIT probably helps a lot with that. :-)

Whatever you're smoking, I'd love to take a hit because Friedman is absolutely cringy. Smart, yes, but mostly cringy.
