I first found Lex because he would interview really interesting technical people, like Jim Keller.

Like you, I found Lex off-putting in that he will platform anyone, and then will just say Love will prevail, I think its incredibly naive.

his demeanor looks naive to me. it might be a put-on thing, though.

Why? You are not interested to hear different opinions?

1) I don't need to hear anything from Ivanka Trump ever, thank you.

2) Platforming dishonest hacks like Tucker Carlson does the nation a disservice, unless he is going to call out all the lies as they happen. While I have not listened to the Carlson interview, based on what I heard from Joe Rogan, I do not believe Friedman will significantly push back on right wing misinformation, for whatever reason.
