> Also, stop meditation and trying to optimize your mental and physical performance. Has anyone who’s ever had a miracle year cared about any of this shit?

I’d say Lex Fridman is in his equivalent of a miracle year, or was last year anyway. Keeping the body tuned is important for mental ability which is important if you’re trying to be productive at all, much more to achieve a miracle year.

What miracles did he do? I’m genuinely confused. Seems like he’s just doing podcast interviews these days. And he moved to Austin? Hardly a Newtonian miracle year. I think he’s just getting mentored by Rogan which is why he’s doing a bit better

What miracles did Einstein do? We all know miracles aren’t possible, all you can have is a breakthrough / absurdly productive year. That’s what I meant.

Lex presents as one of the biggest self absorbed pseudo-intellectuals of the 21st century. Perhaps a miracle year in being a joke of a philosopher I guess.
