Im leaving to the Amazon jungle...

Lex Fridman 2024-04-25 | I'm leaving now to go deep into the Amazon jungle with my friend Paul Rosolie, deep to parts of the rainforest that very few humans have ever seen.

The purpose of this trip is to celebrate nature at its purest and most intense, and to celebrate the work of people like Paul who have dedicated their life to protecting the jungle and the endless diversity of life that calls it home.

If you want to support Paul and his work, please donate or reach out to Junglekeepers:
junglekeepers.org

I hope to get back in one piece, and have some stories to tell. I'll try to record a podcast with Paul deep in the jungle.

I'll be offline until I emerge out. Meanwhile, no internet, no phone, no connection to outside world. Just the raw, beautiful immensity of nature.

I'm truly grateful to be alive, to have gotten the chance to live on this beautiful planet of ours, with all of you, my fellow humans. I love you all ❤

Mark Zuckerberg vs Lex Fridman in Jiu Jitsu

Lex Fridman 2023-06-25 | Mark Zuckerberg and I trained some jiu jitsu after our most recent podcast conversation. It's inspiring to see both Mark and Elon taking on the martial arts journey. I look forward to training with both of them in the months and years to come.

For context, I'm a black belt in jiu jitsu and have been doing it for over 15 years and also judo and wrestling for 10 more. Here's a video of me getting my black belt: youtube.com/watch?v=bCA54RIkpTo

Also, here's a video of me training with Andrew Huberman: youtube.com/watch?v=hwYzrSF9unk

Finally, here's the 2 podcast conversations between Mark and me:
Round 2 (June 2023): youtube.com/watch?v=Ff4fRgnuFgQ
Round 1 (Feb 2022): youtube.com/watch?v=5zOHSysMmH0
