"The weapons of love are much more powerful" -Lex Friedman I woke up this morning and found myself in one of those terrible internet holes where I made the mistake of watching a violent video too long. And then i got another, and another. I read the comments on these videos, and found so much hatred. People fighting amongst themselves over the fighting in the videos. It made me really sad. A terrible way to wake up, that too many of us fall prey to every single day. Then I threw on Lex and tried to get back to sleep. But I couldn't because I was so moved by his relentless positivity about there being more good than evil in the world. I then went to the comments to find the most kind people in the world, all together, boosting each other up, helping, discussing, and even disagreeing - but not disrespecting. It turned my mood from feeling helpless to feeling so hopeful. I have been watching you Lex since day one. It was an accident I found you. I thought your voice was the same as this crazy conspiracy theorist guy and was trying to connect the dots to see if you were him. You weren't. This was back when you would post videos of you playing guitar and things before the podcasts. I kept watching by accident too. I just wanted your soothing voice to put me to sleep. And here we are many years later, and you have executed your vision. Still wearing your suit. Still talking softly in a monotone voice, but there's something new now. You've united all the good people in the world. The thinkers and the lovers. The egoless. And it dawned on me.... This mf just started the revolution that will break the spell of hatred throughout the entire world. He did it with a soft voice, a clean suit, and love. What a thing to witness. Have a great day everyone. Make a difference. 🤘
