𝐉𝐄𝐅𝐅 𝐊𝐀𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐒 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐃𝐄𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 Former WoW foundational developer Jeff Kaplan sat down with Lex Fridman to discuss a wide range of topics, particularly his journey in game development and his time at Blizzard. Jeff went into a bit more detail about his departure from Blizzard while he was working on Overwatch. He explained that Overwatch eventually became focused on making money as quickly as possible. According to one former CFO, Overwatch needed to hit a specific revenue target (X amount of money). If it did not the company would lay off 1000 people and Jeff would be responsible.

"I was on the front in the Kherson region." - Lex Fridman In the early summer of 2022 Lex Fridman went to Ukraine to see the war first-hand and conduct interviews. After returning to America, he decided to not release any of the interviews or share any stories in support of Ukraine. He decided to side with Russia to protect his career. People who supported Russia in 2022 got to him and told him that Ukraine's war for independence was hopeless and that Ukraine would be taken by Russia before the Winter in 2022. Any public statements made by Lex in support of Ukraine would be used against him once Russia won the war. But the war has now gone on for over 1,000 days. Russia has no way of winning. The people who got to Lex Fridman were always wrong. Clip from Ep 310 - Aug 2022 Lex Fridman Joe Rogan Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський Andrew Bustamante

MARC ANDREESSEN: LIKE JESUS AND GANDHI, ELON CARES ABOUT ALL OF HUMANITY “One thing that we're all taught is that the best people in the world, the people we venerate, are people who care about all of humanity. Jesus cared about all of humanity. Gandhi cared about all of humanity. Martin Luther King cared about all of humanity. We venerate the person who cares the most about everybody. And with Elon, you have a guy who literally constantly talks about operating on behalf of all of humanity to try to get us to a multiplanetary civilization so that we can survive a strike on any one planet, so that we can extend the light of human consciousness into the world and into the universe and have it persist and the good of the whole thing. And literally the critique is, yeah, we want you to care about all of humanity, but not like that.” Source: Lex Fridman Podcast, January 2025

Through my sponsorship of #ToomajSalehi , I have learned a lot in the past weeks and months. About Iran, about the "legal system", about the people who fight for their freedom and their rights. Today I had the opportunity to talk about it in the Bundestag. 1/3
