Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Lex Fridman podcasts are like a force of nature. His voice, his intelligent questions and the way he interacts with his guests make them awesome. This alien forum (4 hours, not for the fainthearted!) is bold. Nothing about conspiracies or "maybe aliens had a hand on the building of the pyramids", but a reflection and conversation on possibilities, UAPs, how life may manifest itself on the universe, consciousness and sentiency, robots and AIs, from before the Big Bang until now and maybe in the future. Exciting.
