Mark Cuban: Shark Tank, DEI & Wokeism Debate, Elon Musk, Politics & Drugs | Lex Fridman Podcast #422

It is not Reverse Discrimination, it is just Discrimination.

Regardless of what you think of Mark Cuban or anything he said here, the fact that he created Cost Plus Drugs is a gift to humanity.

Lex been working overtime lately with these guests. Crazy how far he’s come as a podcast/interviewer

Lex on DEI: "The shitty people don't get fired." Yes.

I've worked as a pharmacy technician for 11 years and it feels so good to see someone with influence illuminate how fucked up the drug business is. Everything he said is completely true and not some isolated thing. If nothing else, this is such great work from Mark.

That Cost Plus Drugs segment was fascinating

1:35:16 Plot twist: even Elon flipped on Trump 😂😂😂😂 This aged well

I've just watched the first 5 min so far, but I love how Lex tries to probe at the questions we want to know the answer to... "What is selling? How do I sell? Are you born with it, or can you learn it?"

What Mark say about people getting too attached to a certain platform, political ideal and information is very insightful and true. We should always come in with an open mind and regard everything we hear with a critical eye.
