Someone who manage to do an interview with Lee Smolin does not need to apologize for the camera work

[iridium]

The effort and care to tailor this episode to Lee's Parkinson's is really amazing. Dont worry about the video not being perfect. This is amazing work. Thank you.

[marcusmanning-hymg]

“I’ll just tell you before it’s published on paper”

Great work curt!

[valemusichq]

You are the perfect interviewer for this. Most interviewers rehash 90% of questions that have already been asked, whereas Lee's newest ideas always seem most intriguing.

[carlosbiancososa]

Bother what a beautiful display of live, love and admiration, without any kind judgment. This is going to be one of you most lasting works you have capture the amazing and unique Lee in such beautiful way. Thank you and congratulations my friend, nothing but love for the both of you.

[seandonahue]

Lee Smolin is truly one of my greatest favorites! Thanks for having him on! I am glad to see him after such a long time! I always love his optimism and positivity he is one of my comfort people to watch on science talks.

[ArienMasterpiece]

Hooked on TOE now . I've no fooking idea what anyone is saying most of the time. However. Simply by Observing and listening I feel smarter with every episode. Thank you Curt you're one of, if not the best interviewers I've ever seen. Keep up the outstanding work sir!❤💯

[dljnobile]

As he said, it's about character. I had already thought Lee Smolin amazing and admirable. Now the only word I want to use is love. What theory of everything is greater than love? Thank you again, Curt.

[ximono]

Thank you for meeting with Lee Smolin! What a gift.

[dadsonworldwide]

Lee is the man, what a treat he's always up for exploring many different lines of thought and measure in all avenues. even back many decades ago in the dark ages it was always noticeable truth.

If I could get in a class or teach this class sign Me up I'd punch that clock.

[aidanhall]

What an honour it must be, thank you for sacrificing some of your precious time Lee, it is real after all! I wish you wellness on your fight with Parkinson’s.

I feel truly blessed to live in such a time that we can hear interviews with such a variety of specialists for free at our own leisure. Thanks for your work, Curt. And of course, extend our gratitude to your guests who are willing to give up their time for such things, too.

[Thomas-gk]

Hi Kurt, I don´t appreciate all your guests, many of them are boring pseudoscientists. This is a really epic episode, thank you for that. Lee Smolin isn´t only a great world-famous physicist, who I adore since my youth, he´s an honest and peaceful human being too. That he quotes and mentions SABINE HOSSENFELDER even makes me respect him more. She´s the bravest and most trustworthy scientist I know, and a leading mathematician and thinker. You should get her on your podcast too!

[chriszachtian]

Curt, you are really up to something with your channel. I doubt that anyone else could have made this great interview with this great Lee Smolin.
It would take me certainly a lifetime to fully understand all of what you just flew by, but it felt extremely fascinating and it enforced me to try to keep track. Thanks for your time!

[mikeolsze]

I truly, admirably have no words which can convey the utmost respect, I hold for Mr. Smolin & his stalwart pursuit of further expansions as pertaining to the many worlds of informations. In adversity to his health conditions, as yet still providing the world access to himself directly. If only we had more human beings such as him. 😊

[TheIgnoramus]

Lee Smolin….what can I say that hasn’t been said, of the greatest of Mind and Men. What an amazing talk. I pray, need, nay, KNOW! He will be remembered for all of dual-space time, and beyond. Godspeed.

[nothingmoretocontribute]

Beautiful interview! Truly, Lee Smolin is one of the greatest minds in contemporary times. The way he approaches well-known concepts, simple or complex, is always eye-opening, forcing you to think in a way that you have never thought before

[sohamsuke]

Here I was, e-mailing Puthoff about retrocausality, thinking: 'i must be out of my mind to actually send this to Hal, he's smart but he'll think I'm crazy...'
In comes Lee with the: 'yeah, retrocausality is a part of it, yes'.

Thanks Lee. :) Much love for both of you, thanks for the conversation.

[Robotwesley]

Curt! Dude! This is a piece of true art! Your conversation with Lee, is literally making me cry 15 minutes in. It’s just so amazing how you get the most absolutely brilliant human beings in the universe to show up (just watched the Frenkel interview yesterday) and then talk to you more intimately and candidly and magnetically than literally any other recorded public appearance of that person that has ever been made!! Imo.
I really hope you do more in person interviews, I feel like I’m watching a herzog doc, like really though, you are an amazing documentary filmmaker. And this is not just any podcast interview. Amazing, and thank you for making this show.

[nunomaroco]

Great, one of the great minds in our times, in my opinion....
