- Episode: Bhaskar Sunkara: Socialism and Communism | Lex Fridman Podcast #349
Podcast: Lex Fridman PodcastAs I often do, please allow me to read a few lines from the poem 'If' by Rudyard Kipling: 'If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you but make allowance for their doubting too, if you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.'
- Episode: David Wolpe: Judaism | Lex Fridman Podcast #270
Podcast: Lex Fridman PodcastLike the poem 'If' by Rudyard Kipling says, 'If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings, nor lose the common touch; if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; if all men count with you, but none too much,' this is a really, really important thing to me that I try to live by: that all human beings count with me.
- Episode: Mark Zuckerberg: Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and the Metaverse | Lex Fridman Podcast #267
Podcast: Lex Fridman PodcastNow, let me leave you with the end of the poem 'If' by Rudyard Kipling: If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings and lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, my son.
