Lex Fridman sets a very high standard to follow. He's prepared, knowledgeable and very intelligent. It is very hard to listen to another podcast after listening to Lex. God bless you Lex Fridman.

Lex is humble and not obnoxious or dominant like many podcasters! He comes across as sympathetic to his guests, non-threatening yet very deeply knowledgeable and conversational on the subject matter in question.

Jack Barsky, what a man. One of the best podcasts by Lex so far.

This gentleman is fascinating. I don't know how so much people waste their lives watching trash shows on tv or netflix when you can enjoy this incredible real histories from so interesting people.

This is an engrossing life story for sure. Jack makes no attempt to sugar-coat his early ambition and thirst for the high life, which fueled his induction into the spy world and commitment to his training all of which he recalls in lucid detail. The manner in which he recounts his life is charming and infused with good-natured wit and honest insight. I have to infer that this humanist outlook had to be suppressed considerably after he became a real-life steely James Bond type. I am glad that he realized in the end that he is storyteller at heart, or did I just imagine he said that? No matter, I will listen again down the line or read more. Well done, Lex and Jack. 3m views!

An A.I. scientist (suspected by many to be a robot) & an KGB agent talking about love is the best part.

Glad I took the time to watch this. Sorry to say it, but this is my first encounter with Lex and his podcast. I honestly donāt know who impressed me more. Iāll also say, as proud of a man that Jack spent a lifetime to become, I loved his humility and honor to be corrected in his line of thinking at one point in the interview and even made a point to retract one of his comments. Only God can change a heart! What a story, thanks for sharing it with us.

Lex, My mom was Russian. This was an outstanding podcast and so interesting, it verified so many things she explained to me!

āThe pain of loss is still part of loveā is a beautiful quote

Being born in a country that does not exist anymore (GDR) in 1982 close to the chzech border and being raised in a household that defeated the Stasi, listening to this really gave me shivers.
Iām a huge fan of you and your podcast, Lex. I spend nights and nights listening to it and I would have never guessed that sb. would mention the city I live in and love for the past 20 years. The city of Jena!
The āstudent clubā that Jack mentioned still exists.
The people you talk to and the compassion you have are extraordinary. Thank you! If you ever come to this part of the world you have someone who would love to show you around and tell stories or listening to you.
Keep up the good work. 9 July 2022 - 4 am - Jena, Germany

āMy first kiss.ā And Lex investigates. Best interviewer ever. ā¤

This was such an interesting interview! My parents were both from Germany, My father from the Dresden area in eastern Germany and my Mother from the Koln / Bonn area in the West, so I could relate with Jack and understand what his driving forces were. Thank goodness he has two beautiful children here in the U.S..he didnāt mention if he was still with his wife or nor but he is very insightful and I wish him a long healthy life.š

Lex is so old inside that he's able to comfort a 70 year old retired KGB agent and send him back to his child state to relive his first love.

I skipped reading papers and studying just because this conversation absorbed me. It made me reflect on my own life and I can't believe we have access to these stories. Precious.

This is a really good one, Lex always does a great job at engaging with the guests with deep and interesting questions but letting them tell their story. This man's story was incredible, thank you for helping share it with us.
