A Very Interesting Conversation: Lex Fridman & Paul Rosolie In The Amazon Rainforest

On May 15, 2024, Lex Fridman @lexfridman writes on X;

I made it out of the jungle alive.

This was an adventure of a lifetime, from getting lost in dense unexplored wilderness to taking very high doses of ayahuasca.

I'll post videos about some of these adventures in a week or so. First, here's a 4 hour podcast conversation with Paul Rosolie that we recorded deep in the jungle.

This time in the jungle has deepened my gratitude for getting to exist on this beautiful planet with all of you. I love you all.

The podcast conversation is here on X and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.
