@lexfridman - Thank you for your podcast. I didn’t even need to watch this one because I know the story and don’t need to hear Ackman lie. I think that Bill Ackman is a complete dirtbag and con artist. I despise people like him. All he did was sell short on Herbalife, then artificially influenced the market to get the stock price to drop. Thank God Carl Icahn was there to take the opposite position and scalp Ackman for $1B. Ackman’s claims against Herbalife were all investigated by the FTC and SEC, but no wrongdoing by the Herbalife business was found and there’s no enforcement actions taken against Herbalife. I don’t believe Ackman is a true billionaire through honest hard work. From all appearances, Ackman tried to disparage this company so he could gain a massive profit. What is so dirty about Ackman is that he has made his money off the backs of retail investors who do not have access to manage a hedge fund and influence the market. Ackman can direct those managers to do his bidding and bilk the retail investors out of their hard-earned money, which destroys their American dream. Carl Icahn’s investment in Herbalife drew the line in the sand against Ackman, who doesn’t appear to have any morals or integrity. Ackman looked to destroy the lives of the Herbalife employees and customers for his own greed.

Please don't; Lex didn't push back against Ackman's narrative once... it was 3.5 hours of PR (he becomes vague other than insisting he personally didn't make the plagiarism allegations against Gay: Christopher Rufo did. Does Ackman fund Rufo's foundation?). I totally believe the anonymous Jamaican cab driver story is representative; how about talking to pharmaceutical patients who were price-gouged by Valeant during the Ackman time? Only interview financial figures who can be objective: Buffett, Philip Pilkington. Although, I'd love to see Yanis Varoufakis go 15 rounds with Ackman.

The room was extremely diverse. Many Israelis, Muslims and curious students. Overall, the professors on the panel did an incredible job and was happy to be a Dartmouth student that day. Looking back I am surprised to see how few institutions actually had an open discussion about the situation in Gaza/Isreal.

Exactly!! Remember when Bill Ackman went on CNBC and screamed at the financial world for 23 minutes talking about the collapse of the world due to COVID??? AT THE SAME TIME he was shorting stocks and the market, MAKING BILLIONS!! Then when he knew the market was bottoming, he flipped his trading position and went long on the market when he knew the fed was going to inject massive stimulus. But needless to say, our memories are too too short. But let’s dig further on Bill Ackman! He’s the same douche bag who had to go after the Harvard President for plagiarizing her dissertation (I get and agree on the consequences for her). But when Bill Ackman’s wife admits to her own plagiarizing of her dissertation, he like any good scumbag, justifies it away and goes after Business Insider for horrible reporting, and then like the world class scumbag that he is, he cheers on people losing their job. I get the news industry isn’t trustworthy or even really valuable like they once were, but to cheer people losing their jobs is the depths humanity.

2:02:00 "Gaza could have been a tourist destination" Gaza is functionally a concentration camp populated by minors and descendants of refugees forcefully displaced by Israeli militias. These people live in an incredibly densely populated arid territory and are constantly bombed, spied on, isolated from trade, blockaded from basic neccesities etc. Yea, a recipe for a tourist destination tion indeed. More ignorant words have rarely been spoken. This guy is indoctrinated by Israeli propaganda and ignores the last 120 years of incredibly well documented history

You're right. The Beatles and the Stones wish they had the talent to have written a masterpiece like "Where The Streets Have No Name" or "With or Without You" instead of singing nursery rhymes about yellow submarines.

Yes of course we all can agree that yellow submarine was the best thing Beatles ever did.

Fascinating interview--a total example of an individual who believed he was about personal gain and was truly asleep to all that has been going on for decades without taking the time to question huge subjects. To say he is late to the party is obvious. He still has a great deal of introspection to achieve. I am glad for him that his journey is finally moving to a real human direction.

What a great interview. Insightful, educated and full of lessons. Bill has a brilliant mind and you can sense how calm, thoughtful and conscious he is when answering the questions. It is amazing to understand the pressures he had to go through while at the bottom of his career while showing greatness and betting on himself to be back again. Thanks for the interview Lex, great style really.

That's not what freedom of speech means, or has anything to do with. Freedom of speech allows you to speak in various methods without being prosecuted by the government, provided the words you speak do not break any laws. Grow up.
