My mom was George’s lunch aid in 2nd Grade. He would tell her how him and his dad would pick up old computers on rubbish night and fix them. Glen Rock loves you George ❤

Hotz is a natural genius mixed with an entrepreneur mixed with a curious, fun loving, "why tf not" badass

Fascinating conversation. I can't get past the sense that George has somehow retained the philosophical complexity of a rebellious 14 year old while blossoming as an entrepreneur. it's interesting.

Lex, honestly I hope your work lasts an eternity. These conversations you are putting out are like a Rosetta Stone or library of Alexandria for future historians to understand a major changing point in history.

Hotz is like if you made a 2 hour clip of all the biggest thoughts from all the Lex podcasts. My mind feels like it’s been assaulted and I love it.
