"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hppbxV9C63g&amp;t=1h47m17s"">1:47:17</a> Out of all 20-30 of your podcasts I've heard", this is the only one where I find <i>you</i> to be painful to listen to and a poor interviewer. In simple terms, Lex: Being smart is a massive bonus in life. Being smarter than people around you is a massive bonus. (PS: being around people who are smarter than yourself is another type of massive bonus). I find it hard to believe that you haven't  come to terms with this at your age. In fact, I think you're faking dissatisfaction with the idea that smarts wins you (abstract you) power and affluence. I think you're trying to placate or cater to listeners who find these topics offensive. Granted, I don't know you personally, but that's what it seems like to me. I've heard you reason in other podcasts. You're plenty smart yourself. Drop the act, man.
