Jake Paul explains why he thinks the UFC has started to decline: “I think there are a lot of weird things happening over at that organization. I believe they’ve lost touch with the pulse of their fans and making the fights that people want to see. I’ve also noticed... show more

Paul Pierce and Byron Scott on why the NBA is “suffering” Byron: It doesn’t have that physicality like it used to but the other reason is a lot of guys don’t have the same loyalty to stay with their team. Fans are tired of guys jumping team to team Pierce: I think it’s the lack of storylines where it’s a rivalry… We don’t have the drama of the rivalry with players anymore (Via Byron Scott fast break)

Should Christian Nationalism and Catholic Integralism be taken seriously? Ben Sasse answers. “‘Should they be taken seriously?’ I mean, ultimately I think no — but I want to be humble about how and why we get there.” “Can people who are skeptical of a lot of Enlightenment assumptions be reasonable in making those cases? Of course. I'm pretty sympathetic to a lot of what the Enlightenment offered us in response to many of the things that had just come before. But that doesn't mean that the Enlightenment is at all a foretaste of heaven.” “I think there is a temptation right now to have an over-realized eschatology where people want to find a city that has foundations. ‘Right now, dang it, I'm ready to build it and I want it to be better and I want it now. And I want to smash the people who are in the way of it’ is tonally the way a lot of these folks talk.” “But philosophically, having a debate is one thing and claiming that they're doing practical politics is quite another. So I think it is important, without us, you know, trying to answer a lot of these questions, to at least acknowledge there are Catholic claims about integralism that a lot of Protestants seem to pine for and lust after without working through — what would that really mean?” “I just look at a lot of the debates of the last two months about women's suffrage and I just kind of want to shake my head and say, ‘Man, this is a weirdo online phenomenon.’ There is no chance on earth that any of these folks who are advancing some sub-varieties of Christian nationalism are actually thinking there's math by which they're going to end women's suffrage. And yet they talk like it. Because online, it seems really provocative to say things like that. And I don't really know what it's worth to linger on some of these silly online debates.” Watch: Listen:

Mark Zuckerberg on Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter Elon Musk famously reduced head count by 80% after acquiring Twitter. It was controversial at the time, but Mark is asked what he thinks Elon did well during it. Mark responds: “You can agree or disagree with the exact tactics and how he did that. Every leader has their own style… But a lot of the specific principles that he pushed on: making the organization more technical, decreasing distance between engineers at the company and him, fewer layers of management. I think that those were generally good changes.” Mark also believes this was good for the technology industry as a whole: “My sense is that there were a lot of other people who thought that those were good changes, but who may have been a little shy about doing them. Just in my conversations with other founders and how people have reacted to the things we’ve done… When people see what Elon is doing, I think that gives people the ability to think through how to shape their organizations in a way that can be good for the industry and make all these companies more productive over time.” He continues: “So I think that was one thing where he was quite ahead of a bunch of the other companies on… And from the outside, it’s very hard to know. Did he cut too much? Did he not cut enough? I don’t think it’s my place to opine on that… But certainly his actions led me and, I think, a lot of other folks in the industry to think about, ‘Hey, are we doing this as much as we should? Could we make our companies better by pushing on some of these same principles?’” Video source: Lex Fridman (2023)

Michael “Venom” Page explains why he walked out to Michael Jackson’s “They Don’t Care About Us": "I’ve spoken about being frustrated with the decisions that were made. I think the main one for me was the fact that they put a young kid, who's super talented, but has only had one fight in the UFC, as a co-main event. I felt disrespected... I’ve delivered some really entertaining fights, given people a lot to talk about, and made a lot of noise... I think the majority of fans were there to see me. That was a bit annoying, so I felt like it was relevant."

Marc Andreessen explains why he prioritizes satisfaction over happiness “I don’t believe in balance. I think people are wired differently so it’s hard to generalize this kind of thing. But I am much happier and more satisfied when I’m fully committed to something. So I’m very much in favor of imbalance.” Marc continues: “I don’t think happiness is the thing to strive for. I think satisfaction is the thing… Satisfaction is a deeper thing which is like having found a purpose and fulfilling it. Being useful. That I’m fully delivering on the gifts that I’ve been given, that I’m net making the world better, that I’m contributing to the people around me, and that I can look back and say: ‘Wow. That was hard, but it was worth it.’ I think that generally seems to lead people to a better state than pursuit of pleasure and happiness.” And on the relationship of money and satisfaction: “I think Elon would be a great example of this. He’s a guy who from the day he started making money at all just plows it into the next thing. I think money is definitely an enabler for satisfaction. Let’s put it this way: money applied to happiness leads people down very dark paths. Very destructive avenues. Money applied to satisfaction, I think is a real tool.” Video source: Lex Fridman (2023)

Former CDC Director dr. Robert Redfield: "I happen to be of the view that I don't think Secretary Kennedy is anti-vaccine. I do believe he's for transparency and honest discussion about what we know about vaccines in terms of their safety and efficacy. And I think some of that has been sort of skirted through over the last couple of years." "I still say what I said when he got confirmed that I think Kennedy has the potential to be the most consequential Secretary of Health that our nation's ever had. That said, I understand a lot of the controversies and a lot of the way people act." "I thought the hearing today was very unfortunate. I think you brought it up. I think there was no real communication in that hearing." "It was people with their own position. Kennedy never really had the opportunity to explain why he thought what he thought. You and I can agree or disagree with what he thinks, but I do think it's important that you can express that."

Draymond Green explains why he was happy Klay Thompson left the Warriors “I'm happy as hell he gone. And the reason I'm happy he's gone is because he wasn't happy no more. As a brother I only want what's best for you, not what's best for me, not what's best for this team, not what's best for the organization” “To see someone that doesn't have a care in the world... if you walk around our organization and you say, ‘Yo, tell me about Klay,’ everybody would say, ‘He lives in his own world,’ and everybody cool with that. So to see someone that does not have a single care in the world all of a sudden just can't shake nothing, that bothered me. That, to me, was far more hurtful than him leaving” “I think it was time for him. I think it was time for the organization. We've been in the tax for six straight years. Nobody talks about that side of it. Klay left, we not in the tax no more. The organization gets a chance to reset because, at the end of the day, regardless of how bothered he was, we built that organization”

Head coach Dave Aranda's full quote on what he would say to frustrated fans: "We’ve got a bunch of really, really good people in the program that are doing everything they can to get wins and to make it an entertaining product for the fans. It means so much when there are fans there and there’s a home-field environment. I look at the guys that are on our team right now, who have been through so much and are such quality football — really good football players — more than that, but just quality people. They’re the type of people that maybe some of the people who are talking about them knew them better, would be all for them, and support them no matter what. I think for them, to have it where their work is being rewarded with people that got their back in a critical game would be cool, but I understand what you’re saying. I can definitely see that."

President Kagame on sports shaping countries’ economies in the future: It's not just the future. When you talk about, for example, the arena, the stadium, it's already happening. People are taking notice of that and counting and knowing that it has employed so many, it has brought in so much. And that interaction around people here and beyond, with the rest of the world, speaks volumes in terms of value. So it has already brought in a lot. And it's a question of growing that. And we also know that statistics show that even across Africa, in terms of sports, it's running into billions as to what sports can bring to the continent, tens of billions. I think what we do as leaders at different levels is to encourage people to be part of realizing that story and reaping the benefits. And it's happening. So it's no longer something you just listen to and think it is for others and not for you. Now people believe, they start by believing. And when they start by believing and see things happening, then they believe even more and get more involved. And, I mean, the sky is the limit.

Because everyone keeps saying that Güler has that left foot, that quality that reminds people of Guti on the pitch. 🗣️Guti: “I actually hope he doesn’t resemble Guti, in the sense that yes, I can see he has a lot of quality, a very good final pass, and he plays football really well. But this is also what people used to say about Guti, right?” “That’s why I don’t think it’s good for him to be compared to me, right? In the end, I think the Bernabéu likes this type of player when things are going well, but I also think they’re the type of player who gets criticized the most when things go badly.”

Lionel Messi on North American soccer culture and what fans can expect for the 2026 World Cup: “Well, although I already knew it, especially about Mexico, as I said before, I was a little more surprised about the passion that exists for soccer in the United States and in Canada. I also believe that in the last few years, in my opinion, or because I didn't know so much about it, I believe that there has been a growth and an important change in the number of fans of the game, who like to enjoy the show, who are also passionate, who have a lot of passion for their teams, where soccer is truly consumed above all else. Mexico has always had a great league, that also has a lot of great teams within its league in terms of player quality, financially, and that will be very enjoyable. And then talking about the organization in the United States, both I and the people, I believe, expect something extraordinary because [in the U.S.] they are used to doing big events and this is the most important event in soccer and I believe that they are going to be up to the task so that people can come and enjoy everything.” #InterMiamiCF #MLS #Messi

You don’t realize it until you’ve been in other places, and I’m not talking down on anybody that are quite lesser than… You’re talking about the way that yall run everything, the people that you have around, obviously the guys that get to rep the uniform. They just do everything the right way, the winning way, and it definitely shows in everything that we do here. I’m grateful to be a part of it now, and when I say I don’t want to be anywhere else, this is it.”

Steve Jobs: The difference between good people and great people is 50-to-1 “I’ve always considered part of my job was to keep the quality level of people in the organizations I work with very high. I mean that’s what I consider one of the few things I can contribute individually myself — versus the team that work with — is to really try to instill in the organization the goal of having only A players.” Steve argues this is especially important in technology where there’s a huge range between the best person and the worst person: “In a lot of fields, the difference between, say, the worst taxicab driver and the best taxicab driver to get you across town in Manhattan might be 2-to-1. The best one will get you there in 15 minutes, the worst one will get you there in half an hour… Or the best cook and the worst cook, maybe it’s 3-to-1… But in the field that I’m in. In software in particular. The difference between the best person and the worst person is about 100-to-1 or more.” He continues: “The difference between a good software person and a great software person is probably 50-to-1 or 25-to-1. Huge dynamic range. And therefore, I have found — and not just in software but in almost everything I’ve done — it really pays to go after the best people in the world.” But as Steve points out, this isn’t always easy: “It’s very painful when you have some people that are not the best people in the world, and you have to get rid of them. But I’ve found that my job has sometimes been exactly that, to get rid of some of the people that didn’t measure up. And I’ve always tried to do it in a humane way, but nonetheless it has to be done and it’s not ever fun.”

"For Dana to say he wasn’t aware of [Paul x Joshua] is a blatant lie. Dana lies frequently, so it doesn’t surprise me, but I know for a fact that TKO was aware of this event. There are fighters out there who have guidance from the UFC that says, ‘Hey, if you fight with MVP or Jake Paul, you’re not welcome here anymore. You can’t come back, you can’t use the PI, and you won’t be considered for future fights.’ That’s the reality of how deeply angered they are. ‘It’s bad,’ I think Dana said… Is it bad because it’s dangerous? It’s a lot safer than a slap contest, where two people just stand in front of each other with zero defense. Jake is going to be defending himself. Jake is going to be moving." Nakisa Bidarian on Dana White's response to Paul x Joshua.
