Here are a few people I think are worth following. This interesting collection of characters shows the strength of many very different personalities. Here is a list to Google (no URLs because they are so easily searchable. while constantly renewing.
Lex Fridman
Nate Hagens
Daniel Schmachtenberger
Tucker Carlson (see the interview with Lex)
Roberto Unger
Eric Weinstein
Simon Michaux
Paul Beckwith
I would appreciate suggestions to add, doug@dougcarmichael.com
Except for Unger, while I admire them all I fault them as a group (and this might be their fatal flaw. ) for too mechanical/mathematical approach to modeling the universe, consciousness, and memory makes room for something more, a reframing of everything.
