Apologies for the echo/audio issues on this. We are hoping to fix it for future episodes and also fix it in the clips for this conversation with Balaji.
I'm from rural area of india🇮🇳 start learning skills though RUclips. I found your content very helpful thanks love from Rural area. Around AGRA' INDIA♥️🇮🇳😊
JAI BHOLE KI

Love the pod and great guest. One small suggestion is to let your guests finish their points more often. There were a couple times when Balaji was interrupted mid-thought, and I would have really liked to hear him finish!
Me too. Their questions were not as interesting as his finished thought would have been. And balaji is smart enough to bring it back up the stack and finish his ideas.
Totally agree. Please take this feedback kindly, but Balaji was inturrupted before closings his tought so many times. It was a bit frustrating. Great questions and conversation otherwise. Thank you guest and hosts.
This!
Yes totally annoying. I understand they wanna stay on point but sometimes a point must meander. Trust your guests thought patterns.
that's literally the worse thing about this episode!
Aarthi and Sriram - thanks for asking questions that no one else asks. This was a side of Balaji I’ve never seen before. Great episode.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it :)
I wonder how the US would have gotten through COVID if Balaji had taken the top job at the FDA
Probably would have fared a lot better
shriram making aarti of balaji ( only Indians will get this )
Can you guys let him speak without interjecting?
I agree, he is not able to complete his sentences.
Yeah !!!
So awesome. I love how y’all asked him about his life - it was great learning more about Balaji & how his life evolution led to The Network State. TYSM for a great episode!
ALSO, thank you so much for sharing an outline that links to specific questions. It's such a great add that makes the shows more accessible!
Great episode. Just a feedback. Let you guest talk. He is obviously more knowledgeable and we can nudge him but not put yourself in the middle of everything.
they need to stop interrupting balaji when he's going off.
i wanted to hear him more talk about some things, like how he's being productive.
Ehh i think balaji does tend to ramble and overdo analogies so good for hosts to intervene and simplify
Balaji is literally a walking encyclopedia. Huge respect for this guy 🙏 🫡
Balaji's book is a 10 but it doesn't have night mode
Sriram, you need to wear headphones, the audio of this great content is unlistenable because of your bad mic control.
Very true. It's kinda annoying when Sriram starts speaking - he's super loud when compared to other speakers. Hurts ears real bad!
Recommend being more patient in allowing your guest to finish their thoughts. Great content but the interviewers continuously disrupted the flow of the conversation.
thats an competitive indian thing i.e. need to interject to let people know you also are adding value :)...
@@BabaG a lot of cultures do that actually. It’s annoying no matter what race you are.
I love listening to Balaji but could not listen to the entire thing here. Please stop digressing and interrupting the guy.
Watched it some time ago, loved it
Felt like wow! I wish to see Balaji’s dream come true. Thanks you Arathi & Sriram for hosting and for this podcast.
Nice to see Balaji smiling so much in an interview lol. Great podcast as always guys!
He's such a Gemini. The gift of the gab and the endless curiosity. Love this man.
He's brilliant isn't he
Wow!
Epic
Huge fan of your questions Aarthi, felt like your reactions mirrored mine as I was watching :) 2 hours in & really great episode
Forget about the content... just observe when Aarthi looks at Sriram ❤️❤️✨ (it's so magical!)
Aww, yes!!! :)
Thank you! :)
Really good questioning, well done you guys, Balaji was awesome, obviously.
great podcast ... wating for next podcast ... love from india .
Thank you so much!
thx to tanmay I found this jodd pod
I didn't know he's a TB. Thayir Sadam is an emotion.
Amazing episode
Arthi and Sriram, Thanks for this episode and all the episode that you guys are doing. You guys spread positivity and also inspire people in many ways.
Thank you!
Great interview! Sriram my guy your mic is hot! Overpowers everyone
Any suggestions for what accounts to follow to learn more about the "Indian network"?
Great show, but... you seriously need to wear headphones or turn down your guest's voice volume locally. The vocal feedback is super bad both for the guest + for the playback afterwards
Good listen! Need balaji more on here to just talk about random things and not just AGI and AI xD. Cracked out when Aarthi asked him how can you get jacked by having 'tayyir saadam' 😝
Right? I still don't have an answer to the question :D
Soooo good 🥳🥳🥳
thank you!
I was here … 2022 …great show ✊
I've learned a lot of things from Mr Srinivasan but the incidence of humans shitting in public in San Francisco tops them all
35:11 Übermensch reference
Guys: great content, but you score a D on production quality… balaji’s mic is soft compared to yours, and most of the episode has an echo on balaji…
Agree - need to sort out the live stream audio issues (less options to post produce when live)
The interviewer was too jumpy! Let the man talk!
it's as if he was on meth.
For how incredibly & wicked smart Balaji is, it makes me chuckle how bad he is at pronunciations. "Forage" as "foh-raazh"; "route" as "raoot"; and "Taoiseach" as "tao-seech"? Lol.
Great guest, but you guys need to get better at not interrupting the guest and each other. If the guest is going off track please have a polite way to get the guest back on track.
Great show! But please, please stop interrupting him… let him finish.
Still not convinced by the Jordan Peterson for the crypto set.
1-8
interesting convo (although you should've let balaji talk more without being interrupted and the sound quality was bad and echoey times). annoying intro.
Come on man ..!!! Let him speak
Man Balaji jacked photos when?
good ep but pleese fixed mic
I hope you’ll discuss the major conflicts between Iyers and Iyengars
Hang on.
“Decline in state capacity is bipartisan”.
I’m not sure whether that’s completely true Sriram and Aarthi.
For one thing, when it comes to waging wars abroad and being warmongers BOTH sides are in agreement and have no qualms sending weapons and money (Ukraine) or deploying massive numbers of troops to distant countries and completely f*** them up (Iraq and Libya and Afghanistan and Cambodia and Vietnam).
The military spending is generally agreed upon by EVERYONE in the US government.
So there’s SOME agreement, unfortunately in the evil direction.
Sriram, please don't interrupt while Balaji talks. It is very annoying!
Blue ticks becoming more racist - what a prescient observation 🙂
Far be it from me to disagree with an intellect like Balaji but i think he grossly underestimates (likely due to lack of familiarity?) India’s potential to be a manufacturing and industrial powerhouse. Making content and doing punditry for American liberals is all v good but it’s the physical that will determine greatness (or lack thereof).
