Lex, That's an extraordinary tribute to a woman who had a monumental impact on the world. The character you display and your eloquent speech and manners are a testament to the greatness she instilled in you. You needn't worry if you've achieved success...your strength, wisdom and love of life are very evident. She is proud of you, I am proud of you. You deserve to be proud of yourself....therefore, never speak down of your past, present or future. May she rest in peace and may you find solace in her passing in that she resides in you. Godspeed
It's not that hard for a blogger to speak on a funeral. Was Lex around when Babanja was old and weak? No. She died alone in Moscow, thousands kilometers away. Sad. A glass of vodka won't do.

May she rest in peace, condolences man. She's proud. Judging by the comments, seems that grandmas are a very important part of our lives. Mine's the case as well since I grew up without a dad and with an ill mom, she and my grandpa took care of me, so I feel your feels man.
Oh Lex! what a beautiful beautiful beautiful video!! (You've got me crying with this one) I'm more than sure that your wonderful grandmother is more than proud of you, don't even doubt it great man! Lots of love
91 years is a journey to be proud of. Given her age and ancestry, I can't begin to imagine the life she lived, the things she experienced, the history she saw unfold. May she rest in peace and thank you for sharing this, Lex.
I have always loved how much you focus on words in your podcasts. You seem to understand, on a deep level, how much words really matter. From one "words person" to another, I really wish words could actually be more comfort... even if from a stranger on the internet. At any rate, your grandmother obviously means a great deal to you. Now, you've just brought that woman's life to the consciousness of over half a million people across the world. You are a good man Lex... and an incredible grandson. I am sorry for your loss.

Your grandmother was a fighter. She survived during the most difficult times in recent history a human could face yet she did not see herself as a victim. Like many from that part of the world and going through that time, you had to fight to survive or you just died. Americans definitely need to hear this story, Lex. Today in America, our culture has been turned upside down by groups competing against each other trying to establish who is the biggest victim.
Lex, How beautiful that through you your grandmother continues to inspire others. You are beloved by so many people throughout the world, for your work and for that bit of love you put out into the world. Thank you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you understand this in the spirit I intend, but I am also envious. To have had someone like that in your life is a great gift, and one which I wish I'd had. Please accept my sincere condolences and also gratitude on your behalf that you were blessed enough to have her in your life.
"Бабань, я уже скучаю" Its heartbreaking to hear those words and sadly knowing the way it feels. If theres something to be said its better to be said in russian - Ты - прекрасный человек. Не секунды не сомневаюсь, что она гордилась тобой и то, кем ты стал и продолжаешь быть. То, какие ценности ты смог впитать и хранишь в фибрах своей души и своей памяти, те, что продолжаешь беречь и несёшь дальше : Человечность, самосознательность, трепетную и искреннюю любовь. Благодарю за прочитаную в конце поэму и соболезную твоей утрате, Лекс.

Somehow, while listening to the memories of his grandmother, tears flowed endlessly. I was delighted to see that he inherited the greatness of his grandmother's spirit. A glimpse into some of the pioneers of the age of inheriting the great consciousness of artificial intelligence.
Grandmothers and grandfathers don't last long and often you're too young to appreciate them. Cherish your time with them and when the time comes, stay strong.
My condolences to you and your family Lex. She lived and persevered through the toughest of times and shaped several generations of your family with her strength. You have done everything and more that she could have envisioned, and will continue to do so with the lessons she instilled in you.
What a beautiful tribute. My joy for you Lex is that your Grandmother's love lives on through you. What an incredible Warrior of Hope she was. Our thoughts, prayers and Condolences are with you and your family. 🌷
Lex my deepest sympathy Son your grandma has taught you well . Her humanity shines thru you, you avoided the extreme weakness and addiction to wealth The true value of life
Our dear Alex: Thank you for having shared your loving requiem with us, the brothers and sisters you've all over the world. You are a great man, a true inspiration for many of us. Sometimes, when I watch your videos, I imagine you are the smart, trustful and cheerful friend I never had. A friendship with an intelligent, wise and emphatic person like you would have made a great difference when I was younger, to get the best of me, to fight harder for my dreams, while they were still alive. I'm happy you are so young, you have so much energy, plans, method, knowledge... you'll get very far, I know. You must know for sure that you honor your grandmother's memory by being the way you are, and by helping and inspiring others (like me) to get over their mind limitations every day. Thank you. Peace and respect to this loving and strong woman.
I find it sadly beautiful that your Grandmother survived through pure chaos, at a seemingly hopeless time - knowing not of the great impact her Grandson has and will continue to have on the present and future of the western world. You're a great man Lex, on a great path. I hope to join you on a similar pilgrimage some day.
I wish Lex had made a good impact in Russia and Ukraine not thousands kilometres away from his grandma. Horrible things happened there because grandsons left their Babanjas when the old and weak needed them. They prefer to launch careers in a richer countries. Sad. A glass of vodka and nice words won't substitute care and real support.
I’m so sorry, Lex. I just lost my grandmother last week, and I lost my mother this May. 2020 has been such a challenging year for all of us, but losing those we love amplifies the bitterness of it all. Wishing you and your family strength and healing - and strength and healing to anyone reading this!
You have made her proud by being the inspiration of hundred of thousands of people in this world. She is proud to have you as her grandson.. You really have all those qualities that she wanted to instill in you. She is proud of you❤
My heart is with you. I feel that your grandma is a big influence in your life and I'm lucky that you transfer her influence forward through yourself. Your work influences me a lot, keep being you, you're awesome. 😊
Sorry for you’re loss Lex. What a WONDERFUL Woman... God Bless Her... May she rest in piece, and Love. So much Love for you, and your beautiful family.... 🙏
We're lucky to experience some of her wisdom through your podcasts, your words, through the great wisdom and life lessons she gave you. May she rest in peace.
God bless you Lex, and may she rest in peace. I lost my last grandparent, my mother's mother, last year, and there's no real way to describe that feeling of letting that generation of family go.
I love that you pubically honored your grandmother. Grandmothers don't often have much power in the wider world but wield tremendous power in the minds and imaginations of their grandchildren throughout their lives. The depth of your loss shows in this video, but so too does the enormity of strength and wisdom you have been gifted. Here is a poem I wrote after my grandma died. It always comforts me and makes me cry. I am the mother of 4 grown children and hope to be a grandmother soon. I am certain not a single accomplishment you accrue going forward will come as close to making your grandmother as proud of you as the kind of person you already are. Your integrity, kindness, and work ethic are a beautiful testament to the kind of woman your grandmother was. Grandma Vonnie... I stop Picture her at day’s end With her tea. I wanted to be just like her. But she would never Stop To dawdle, To write, To daydream The way I do. I write poetry. She was a poem. She never Stopped Til we were all thoroughly fed, Babies happy, House clean, Laundry done. Her poetry was the grace of her movements As she worked from morn til night. Her poetry was How loved she made us feel. Her poetry was her kitchen Where anybody could Stop Anytime And be fed the dishes she woke well before sunrise to prepare. Her home was a sacred place to us, Her enormous kitchen a sanctuary. After she died I was stunned to realize how Tiny her kitchen really was, And that it could exist at all Without her in it. I will always strive to be like her. And will make the dinner soon, but for now I Stop And watch As the tears Fall On my poem For her.
Lex, Thank you for sharing some of what made your grandmother profound with us. My takeaway from your words and the poem as a whole is to be okay with that which you have, and if you aren't, fight everyday until you have that which you are. I'm glad you have allowed that fire your grandmother instilled within you to burn so bright and have shared its warmth with us. Best Regards, Hunter
Thank you for not being normal and for sharing your most personal feelings with us about how inspiring your grandmother was for you. This is why you are a podcast pheeenom. You are extraordinary.
How utterly I failed to stop myself from crying. That is the most beautiful tribute that I have witnessed. Your lessons are our lessons. Love is everything. Thank you for sharing.
It's not that hard for a blogger to speak on a funeral. Love isn't just beautiful words. Was Lex around when Babanja was old and weak? No. She died alone in Moscow, thousands kilometers away. Sad. A glass of vodka won't do.
This moved me far more than I expected it to. Here you have described exactly my own mother who, I am endlessly grateful to say, is still with us. She has always been an angel and a blessing to all who know her. I really understand and feel for your loss for, if I ever lost my mum, I can't imagine the pain it would cause me... Your sharing this has filled my heart with those that I love. I wish you the strength that she bestowed to you and the solace of knowing you made her proud.
I lost my father 5 years ago, it was hell .... may her soul rest in peace , and I hope god gives you the strength to deal with these hard times . much love, and god bless you.
Lex, this really hit home for me personally. A few weeks ago, my grandmother (Ruzica) passed away. Like Ann, she grew up and lived through WWII. She was of Serbian descent, and grew up in Austria/Germany through the 30’s and 40’s, eventually fleeing to the United States with her husband to pursue a better life for her future generations. Lex called Ann Baban, I would call Ruzica Baba. Baba was tough. But not like the kind of tough I’m used to growing up in California… She was the kind of tough where if she had a tree fall on her and break her arm, she’d be up the next day trying to walk because “my arm is the thing that’s broken, not my legs”. The first day she came to America (in Chicago, bc ofc that’s were all the Serbs went back in the day), she got a bucket and some sponges and walked door to door asking each neighbor if there was anything they needed cleaned, or if there was any kind of work she could help them with. She inevitably got a job at a manufacturing plant in Chicago, working long 12-hour shifts, every weekday for 3 decades…famously never being late a single day. Although her husband was a doctor by training, he was too ill to find work, so she rose to the occasion and became the bread-winner of the household, as well as the mother that her children needed. She was the closest thing I could ever compare to a superhero. She’d commonly joke “Well, I always wanted to marry a pilot, but I had to settle for a doctor”… Like Ann, she never complained about the work she needed to do - she was just did it out of the love for her family. Her husband passed away in his 50’s or 60’s, and she never remarried. She outlived every one of her friends, and her generational family. She lived out the last 7 or so years with my mom and I, when she moved with us she was like, 84 or 85. And man when she moved in with us, this lady was SHARP - at all her checkups, doctors talked about how strong and sharp she was for her age and how she’ll make it to 150 years old - she was extraordinary. Around the last year two years of her life her mental decline happened pretty fast. She was never aggressive or anything, but she kinda got on my nerves. She would repeat the same questions, day in, day out - she had like 5 stories she would cycle between. She would switch between English and Serbski when she talked (and unfortunately for me, I only speak English), so I couldn’t really understand or communicate with her very well anymore…. And this kinda frustrated me. Like it kinda got on my nerves, my patience grew thinner than it every should have. At first I’d be entertaining the conversations and I thought the redundancy was kinda endearing… but after about 6 months of this I started not really giving her my full attention each time I spoke with her. Sometimes I would just feel like I needed to get through the conversation and that was the goal - not to engage a conversation, but rather, to ‘survive’ it without losing my patience. Sometimes I would finish her sentences for her (because I knew every word to the stories she told at this point), and when I would try to talk to her, I would usually try to make the conversation as brief as possible. It would just be to ask her if she needed anything (like food or water or to change her position in her bed, etc.), and try to keep it as simple as possible. Like I always told her I loved her, and I’d always do something for her if she needed me to, but there was this feeling of kinda dreading the moments I have to talk with her for extended times. I think part of this came from thinking she was going to be around forever - like she was so healthy for her age at 85, I thought this situation was going to last for the next 10, 15 years. And she died a few weeks ago, at age 91. I feel so guilty for the impatience that I had. She was such a tough lady, who did everything for her kids, did everything she needed to do and beyond… and look at the product of that… impatience and frustration at the inevitable cognitive decline that most people will have to face in their lifetime. I wish I could take back the times I finished her sentences, and even though I think I fulfilled my duties to her in an acceptable way…she didn’t deserve acceptable. She deserved much more than that. I can at least look to my mom, who really gave Baba the full attention she deserved. Any time Baba would start a story “Did I every tell you about the time me and Sasha went to Florida….” my mom would say “ Ohhh Baba I don’t think I’ve heard that one yet”, even though she’s heard it hundreds of times at this point. I hope when my mom gets to be Baba’s age, I can give her the same patience she gave to Baba. So I know that Lex’s story and mine have some similarities at the surface, we likely had very different experiences, and different lessons could be learned from them. I’d say to anyone who reads this - be patient with people - especially old people. If you are going through periods of time when you need to grind through discomfort, find a way to link it back to your life goals. Try to find a way to link any kind of grinding action to a long-term goal, and it quickly transforms it from a demoralizing task to an enjoyable one. I have a really long way to go to master that skill. Lex, I think Baban is super proud of you, for all you’ve accomplished in your life already, and she knew you’re gonna be accomplishing much more in the future. I think you’re super strong for holding it together and not shedding a single tear during this conversation, because I know I would be if I were in your shoes. I’ll be speaking at a parastos service on behalf of Baba this weekend, and this video really showed me how a brave role model speaks on behalf of their loved ones.
Thank you for sharing your story. You was a good granddaughter! Lex said nice words about his Babanja, but words are futile. Babanja died alone in another country. Real care from Lex she hasn't got. Real deads seem not so spectacular. I wish I could live the end of my life with my family who knows and loves me. Even if they haven't angel patience all the time with me. Condolences!
Lex you are such a great inspiration and role model for many of us. Through your podcasts you have ignited the flame of curiosity for science and innovation which is necessary to recruit young minds that will make the difference in this world. Your lessons are watched by your Mexican student (myself) whom you have never known. It is not only the work you have done but also the positive influence it has on others. Thank you for being Lex Fridman, and continue with the Legacy

My family is from Russia (in Canada now), and my Babushka was actually originally from Kharkiv aswell, and listening to you speak of her truly brought me to tears. When you spoke about her watching over the world silently, and speaking only when she had wisdom to impart, and teaching you that the emotional ups and downs of everyday will always come, but to stay steady, if was as if you were speaking about my Grandmother. She taught me the importance of words, and how to use them, and to always be wary of the power that they hold, and to wield that power wisely. She taught me that I can do anything, and to never forget the strength that lies within me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing these beautiful memories and lessons. Любовь побеждает. Респект вам из Канады. (Forgive my Russian, I don't ever get to use it)
I'm so sorry for your loss, losing a grandparent is very hard, I have lost mine and that's something that I'm still getting over many years after. I'm sorry Lex, stay strong.
Lex I don't know if you will read this, but this is so beautiful and vulnerable. I don't have the words to say how I felt looking at this. I was deeply inspired, deeply saddened by your story of your lovely nan, inspired and strengthened by her through this, and ultimately, I felt deep hope. Every time I watch one of your videos I breathe a sigh of relief, you are a breath of fresh air to me. Your ethics and values that drive you, resonate with me, and back me up. I don't know anyone like you, and it brings me deep relief and hope and comfort listening to someone I can deeply relate to. Thank you for taking all the risks you do, and or being who you are. It has changed my life, in listening to you. Strengthened me, guided me, and brought me home to myself. Resonating with you, has been profound. Thanks.
Words are just words. Horrible things happen in the world because sons and daughters left their Babanjas when they are old and weak and need help. They prefer to launch careers far away. Sad. A glass of vodka and nice words won't substitute care and real support.
I wasn't blessed with an inspirational grandmother, but you have now allowed me to make your grandmother my grandmother. I am thankful for the lessons, and thankful that you shared them, Lex. You're the best.
If she was the one who taught you those things, how to be a man.... She did a fine job. I don't know you, but it is obvious through your words that you are a good man, a good person and just a wonderful human being. I am sure she is and has always been proud of who you are. I am so sorry for you loss.
Such beautiful words. As a mother, it made me think about the impact I have in my kids and husband. You made me cry, you are a wonderful man and I am sure your grandmother is proud that your message of knowledge, kindness and love is reaching out to so many people - you've already accomplished a great thing in life: to inspire thousands of people all over the world. I am praying for your grandma and for you. We love you, Lex.
My deepest condolences, Lex. Rest in peace, Babanya. You are carrying her torch now. Her light shines through you. May she smile. What a blessing this deep love you -- and others -- shared with Ann. Thank you for sharing with us your grief and her lessons. May you heal, and may we learn. I have never personally known anything approaching the bond of affection and support you describe. What an astounding strength of spirit. What a rare and great heart. She lives in you. Believe in yourself, and love on. 🙏♥️🕯️
My condolences to your family Lex. I have watched your channel for some time and can see the positive influence she has had in your life. When a loved one passes, you being to realize (hopefully) what is important in your life.
She would be proud You cannot disappoint your Grand Mother, because she saw you and she saw the value of your respect and beliefs and belief in her. She could not disappoint you because she was always living to make you proud and inspire you. She empowered you to be more than a mere man. You are the epitome of her values and beliefs. Through you she has ensured a bold legacy will endure. You are a super dense and resilient object, a suit of armour that she built.
This was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen here on youtube, and maybe outside of it. Thank you for sharing your memories and lessons, I will take them with me. You have made a difference. Thank you.
Lex, I do not know you, but I love what you stand for. Thank you for sharing with us man. She sounds like an amazing person. You have done her a great honor with this video. But you have done her an even greater honor with your spirit. I lost my Grandpa seven years ago. I know it was exactly seven years ago, because it was right when I began dating my girlfriend at the time, who is now my wife. He never got to meet her. It has been seven years, and I don't know that I've went a single day without thinking about him, or something he has taught me. Like your Grandma; he taught me what it is to be a man, to be a good person, and to fight for what I believed in. I know you will never forget what you learned from her. You will continue to make her proud, and you will help make the world a better place because of it. Just like she did. Cheers.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like a wonderful grandmother. I lost my grandparents over twenty years ago, but still think of them all the time.
Thank you lex for this video. I was born in really bad conditions in Russia as well. This video helped me appreciate even more my grandmother who sacrificed for my parents and me. Whole my life I tried do become financially free and everyday I'm getting close to my goal. I want to give my grandma and my parents a really good life since they worked hard their. Царство небесное твоей бабине.
I grew up with my grandmother in a small town Myanmar until I became 6 years old so I can relate the story with you. But my grandmother was an immigrant from China and totally illiterate as all of my parents too. my father learned how to read and write from the monastery. I wish I was given valuable teaching and advice like your grandmother. In that sense, you have a huge advantage so thank her more. Thank you for sharing a heartwarming story.
I love my parents and the love and compassion they have shown on everyone. This reminds of my parents. What a way to tribute your grand mother. She will be very happy to watch this video where ever she is.
Lex, I think your grandma changed life for a lot of people by making you who you are today. You, Joe rogan, David goggins, Jocko Willink have had a very profound impact on my life.
It is inspiring to read the comments and witness the community of real, thinking, loving humans you have built around your podcasts. Stay strong and keep that fire going.
My Grandmother was an indentured servant from the the age of 8 to 28. To escape, she married a man who turned out to be an abusive alcoholic. From this she raised two daughters. When family and friends told her to leave him she would not. She believed life in such a house (abusive, an outdoor toilet, a wood stove, and freezing in winter) was preferable to living in a housing project. A place where corrupting influences would dominate her daughters, their virtue would be taken, and their life paths would be little different from hers. Forty-five years did she live that life. She did this so her daughters, one of which is my Mother, would have a better life. Likewise, my Mother stayed with my Father for her children. Outgoing, educated, and most of all virtuous-I never saw my Mother drink alcohol, she did not curse, she made home cooked meals, she forced us to study, and she made a home I miss. Most of all she taught me how to treat a woman and what to look for in a woman. There is a lot of negativity she could have passed onto me from her upbringing. I saw none of it. The curses of alcoholism, abuse, and the unthinking mind died with the tormented man that was my Grandfather. My Grandmother and my Mother are the most important people in my life. Though, half of me is of my Father, I could not have changed the path of my life from that of my ancestors without these two women. And 4th Generation Feminists say "Well behaved women don't make history". Whatever. Such women make people to continue and advance our civilization. So, Lex, to our Mothers and our Grandmothers. Que descansen en su merecida paz
I think your grandma and mother are strong and beautiful souls. Feminists are often just selfish and seek only personal comfort and pleasure. This won't bring any sweet fruit after all.
Thank you Lex, have my heartfelt sympathy. I loved you from the first interview I've heard with you but now we are sister and brother because our magical grandmothers. What stood out most for me was "Love life whether it's good or bad and love people as well." that is how our life will be magical.
Thank you Lex I can tell that would have been hard and I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost 2 best friends and my dad myself over the last few years. It left a hole in my heart that I don't think will be ever filled. I'm not someone who cries I pushed that emotion down a lot to the point that I stopped myself from crying over my dad's coffin. I'm not saying that to sound tough. This video got to me a bit. All you can take is the lessons that people leave you with and try to live a good life in their memory. Cherish the people you still have. Stay strong.
Lex my man, my grandmother is 92 from Vinnystia. I feel this videos on many levels, thank you. Sending Love brother stay strong, she’s looking down with a smile
I am sorry for your loss my internet friend, but remember her inspiration inspires you to do what you do. Your videos inspire me to learn and wake up everyday. She's still inspiring everyone.
I miss you. I love you. Rest in peace.

i know theres nothing that can help, but take care dude
It sounds like your grandmother was a remarkable woman. Your tribute honours her. RIP
Lex,
That's an extraordinary tribute to a woman who had a monumental impact on the world. The character you display and your eloquent speech and manners are a testament to the greatness she instilled in you.
You needn't worry if you've achieved success...your strength, wisdom and love of life are very evident.
She is proud of you, I am proud of you. You deserve to be proud of yourself....therefore, never speak down of your past, present or future.
May she rest in peace and may you find solace in her passing in that she resides in you.
Godspeed
You have already made your grandmother proud by becoming a great man, Lex.
Blessings to you and your family.

Спасибо Алекс, я уверена что ваша бабушка гордится вами каждый день. Из вас вырос прекрасный человек. Будьте счастливы.
You are not fraud; you are most genuine and full of life.

Sorry for your loss. "She inspired me to enjoy the successes of others" that is a very wise thing. Thanks for sharing about her. RIP.

May she rest in peace, condolences man. She's proud. Judging by the comments, seems that grandmas are a very important part of our lives. Mine's the case as well since I grew up without a dad and with an ill mom, she and my grandpa took care of me, so I feel your feels man.
Oh Lex! what a beautiful beautiful beautiful video!!
(You've got me crying with this one)
I'm more than sure that your wonderful grandmother is more than proud of you, don't even doubt it great man!
Lots of love
This was a beautiful tribute Lex, she sounded like an incredible lady
She certainly did a good job! Grief never grows old, keep her in your heart.
91 years is a journey to be proud of. Given her age and ancestry, I can't begin to imagine the life she lived, the things she experienced, the history she saw unfold. May she rest in peace and thank you for sharing this, Lex.
May the light of her guide you through your long nights thinking about making the world a better place.
I come back to this video at low times and it gives me strength
I have always loved how much you focus on words in your podcasts. You seem to understand, on a deep level, how much words really matter. From one "words person" to another, I really wish words could actually be more comfort... even if from a stranger on the internet. At any rate, your grandmother obviously means a great deal to you. Now, you've just brought that woman's life to the consciousness of over half a million people across the world. You are a good man Lex... and an incredible grandson. I am sorry for your loss.

Your grandmother was a fighter. She survived during the most difficult times in recent history a human could face yet she did not see herself as a victim. Like many from that part of the world and going through that time, you had to fight to survive or you just died. Americans definitely need to hear this story, Lex. Today in America, our culture has been turned upside down by groups competing against each other trying to establish who is the biggest victim.
Your grandma makes me remember my loved ones that were gone and those are still here, thank you for sharing this moment with me.
For all the survivors I have the honor of knowing, thank you for these words and a different perspective.
Lex, How beautiful that through you your grandmother continues to inspire others. You are beloved by so many people throughout the world, for your work and for that bit of love you put out into the world. Thank you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you understand this in the spirit I intend, but I am also envious. To have had someone like that in your life is a great gift, and one which I wish I'd had. Please accept my sincere condolences and also gratitude on your behalf that you were blessed enough to have her in your life.
This hitting deep lex I love u man 💜
"Бабань, я уже скучаю" Its heartbreaking to hear those words and sadly knowing the way it feels. If theres something to be said its better to be said in russian -
Ты - прекрасный человек.
Не секунды не сомневаюсь, что она гордилась тобой и то, кем ты стал и продолжаешь быть. То, какие ценности ты смог впитать и хранишь в фибрах своей души и своей памяти, те, что продолжаешь беречь и несёшь дальше : Человечность, самосознательность, трепетную и искреннюю любовь.
Благодарю за прочитаную в конце поэму и соболезную твоей утрате, Лекс.
Unfortunately loss is universal. I know what you mean though even I don’t speak Russian
It's not that hard for a blogger to speak on a funeral. Was Lex around when Babanja was old and weak? No. She missed her grandchild when she was still alive and died alone in Moscow, thousands kilometers away. Sad.
A glass of vodka won't do.
He didn’t have to be. We meant to teach, love and let go. She was happy and proud for him from afar. She knew that he loved her very much.
Somehow, while listening to the memories of his grandmother, tears flowed endlessly.
I was delighted to see that he inherited the greatness of his grandmother's spirit.
A glimpse into some of the pioneers of the age of inheriting the great consciousness of artificial intelligence.
Grandmothers and grandfathers don't last long and often you're too young to appreciate them. Cherish your time with them and when the time comes, stay strong.
My condolences to you and your family Lex. She lived and persevered through the toughest of times and shaped several generations of your family with her strength. You have done everything and more that she could have envisioned, and will continue to do so with the lessons she instilled in you.
What a beautiful tribute.
My joy for you Lex is that your Grandmother's love lives on through you. What an incredible Warrior of Hope she was. Our thoughts, prayers and Condolences are with you and your family. 🌷
Lex my deepest sympathy
Son your grandma has taught you well .
Her humanity shines thru you, you avoided the extreme weakness and addiction to wealth
The true value of life
Our dear Alex: Thank you for having shared your loving requiem with us, the brothers and sisters you've all over the world. You are a great man, a true inspiration for many of us. Sometimes, when I watch your videos, I imagine you are the smart, trustful and cheerful friend I never had. A friendship with an intelligent, wise and emphatic person like you would have made a great difference when I was younger, to get the best of me, to fight harder for my dreams, while they were still alive. I'm happy you are so young, you have so much energy, plans, method, knowledge... you'll get very far, I know. You must know for sure that you honor your grandmother's memory by being the way you are, and by helping and inspiring others (like me) to get over their mind limitations every day. Thank you. Peace and respect to this loving and strong woman.
So wonderfully expressed ScienceANDesign💛
I find it sadly beautiful that your Grandmother survived through pure chaos, at a seemingly hopeless time - knowing not of the great impact her Grandson has and will continue to have on the present and future of the western world. You're a great man Lex, on a great path. I hope to join you on a similar pilgrimage some day.
I wish Lex had made a good impact in Russia and Ukraine not thousands kilometres away from his grandma. Horrible things happened there because grandsons left their Babanjas when the old and weak needed them. They prefer to launch careers in a richer countries. Sad.
A glass of vodka and nice words won't substitute care and real support.
"For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love."-Carl Sagan.
May she rest in peace.♥️
True love is truly infinite.
They just don’t make them like that anymore. She’s an inspiration, you’re an inspiration. Thank you 🙏🏽
Sure they do…you’re just not looking in the right places.🕊️💜🕊️
I’m so sorry, Lex. I just lost my grandmother last week, and I lost my mother this May. 2020 has been such a challenging year for all of us, but losing those we love amplifies the bitterness of it all. Wishing you and your family strength and healing - and strength and healing to anyone reading this!
I’m a grown man that looks up to, and has the utmost respect for Lex. What a solid human being!!
Such a beautiful tribute. Love to you and your family
Mine just passed yesterday. Was time. So happy to have this. Thanks for the information, hope all are well.
Condolences
🙏
Heartfelt condolences 🙏💛
You have made her proud by being the inspiration of hundred of thousands of people in this world. She is proud to have you as her grandson..
You really have all those qualities that she wanted to instill in you.
She is proud of you❤
Absolutely 🕊️💜🕊️
My heart is with you. I feel that your grandma is a big influence in your life and I'm lucky that you transfer her influence forward through yourself. Your work influences me a lot, keep being you, you're awesome. 😊
Sorry for you’re loss Lex. What a WONDERFUL Woman... God Bless Her... May she rest in piece, and Love. So much Love for you, and your beautiful family.... 🙏
It's amazing how well Lex holds himself together with this. Beautiful words for the passing of a beautiful soul.
We're lucky to experience some of her wisdom through your podcasts, your words, through the great wisdom and life lessons she gave you. May she rest in peace.
Спасибо бабе Ане за её жизнь и достойное наследие. Очень жаль, когда уходят люди того поколения.
Strong loving Grandmothers raise generations. RIP condolences to you and your family Hermano.
Wonderful tribute. She would no doubt be immensely proud. May her memory be for a blessing.
God bless you Lex, and may she rest in peace. I lost my last grandparent, my mother's mother, last year, and there's no real way to describe that feeling of letting that generation of family go.
I love that you pubically honored your grandmother. Grandmothers don't often have much power in the wider world but wield tremendous power in the minds and imaginations of their grandchildren throughout their lives. The depth of your loss shows in this video, but so too does the enormity of strength and wisdom you have been gifted.
Here is a poem I wrote after my grandma died. It always comforts me and makes me cry. I am the mother of 4 grown children and hope to be a grandmother soon. I am certain not a single accomplishment you accrue going forward will come as close to making your grandmother as proud of you as the kind of person you already are. Your integrity, kindness, and work ethic are a beautiful testament to the kind of woman your grandmother was.
Grandma Vonnie...
I stop
Picture her at day’s end
With her tea.
I wanted to be just like her.
But she would never
Stop
To dawdle,
To write,
To daydream
The way I do.
I write poetry.
She was a poem.
She never
Stopped
Til we were all thoroughly fed,
Babies happy,
House clean,
Laundry done.
Her poetry was the grace of her movements
As she worked from morn til night.
Her poetry was
How loved she made us feel.
Her poetry was her kitchen
Where anybody could
Stop
Anytime
And be fed the dishes she woke well before sunrise to prepare.
Her home was a sacred place to us,
Her enormous kitchen a sanctuary.
After she died
I was stunned to realize how
Tiny her kitchen really was,
And that it could exist at all
Without her in it.
I will always strive to be like her.
And will make the dinner soon, but for now
I
Stop
And watch
As the tears
Fall
On my poem
For her.
Lex,
Thank you for sharing some of what made your grandmother profound with us. My takeaway from your words and the poem as a whole is to be okay with that which you have, and if you aren't, fight everyday until you have that which you are. I'm glad you have allowed that fire your grandmother instilled within you to burn so bright and have shared its warmth with us.
Best Regards,
Hunter
Thank you for not being normal and for sharing your most personal feelings with us about how inspiring your grandmother was for you. This is why you are a podcast pheeenom. You are extraordinary.
How utterly I failed to stop myself from crying. That is the most beautiful tribute that I have witnessed. Your lessons are our lessons. Love is everything. Thank you for sharing.
It's not that hard for a blogger to speak on a funeral. Love isn't just beautiful words. Was Lex around when Babanja was old and weak? No. She died alone in Moscow, thousands kilometers away. Sad.
A glass of vodka won't do.
This moved me far more than I expected it to.
Here you have described exactly my own mother who, I am endlessly grateful to say, is still with us. She has always been an angel and a blessing to all who know her. I really understand and feel for your loss for, if I ever lost my mum, I can't imagine the pain it would cause me... Your sharing this has filled my heart with those that I love.
I wish you the strength that she bestowed to you and the solace of knowing you made her proud.
God bless you, Lex. God has another angel now, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less for those of us left behind. You will be with her again one day.
Who on Earth would downvote this? My deepest sympathies Lex. Sounds like she led a great life
This was incredibly moving Lex. Your grandmother would be proud. RIP
I lost my father 5 years ago, it was hell .... may her soul rest in peace , and I hope god gives you the strength to deal with these hard times . much love, and god bless you.
Lex, this really hit home for me personally. A few weeks ago, my grandmother (Ruzica) passed away. Like Ann, she grew up and lived through WWII. She was of Serbian descent, and grew up in Austria/Germany through the 30’s and 40’s, eventually fleeing to the United States with her husband to pursue a better life for her future generations. Lex called Ann Baban, I would call Ruzica Baba. Baba was tough. But not like the kind of tough I’m used to growing up in California… She was the kind of tough where if she had a tree fall on her and break her arm, she’d be up the next day trying to walk because “my arm is the thing that’s broken, not my legs”.
The first day she came to America (in Chicago, bc ofc that’s were all the Serbs went back in the day), she got a bucket and some sponges and walked door to door asking each neighbor if there was anything they needed cleaned, or if there was any kind of work she could help them with.
She inevitably got a job at a manufacturing plant in Chicago, working long 12-hour shifts, every weekday for 3 decades…famously never being late a single day. Although her husband was a doctor by training, he was too ill to find work, so she rose to the occasion and became the bread-winner of the household, as well as the mother that her children needed. She was the closest thing I could ever compare to a superhero. She’d commonly joke “Well, I always wanted to marry a pilot, but I had to settle for a doctor”… Like Ann, she never complained about the work she needed to do - she was just did it out of the love for her family.
Her husband passed away in his 50’s or 60’s, and she never remarried. She outlived every one of her friends, and her generational family. She lived out the last 7 or so years with my mom and I, when she moved with us she was like, 84 or 85. And man when she moved in with us, this lady was SHARP - at all her checkups, doctors talked about how strong and sharp she was for her age and how she’ll make it to 150 years old - she was extraordinary. Around the last year two years of her life her mental decline happened pretty fast. She was never aggressive or anything, but she kinda got on my nerves. She would repeat the same questions, day in, day out - she had like 5 stories she would cycle between. She would switch between English and Serbski when she talked (and unfortunately for me, I only speak English), so I couldn’t really understand or communicate with her very well anymore….
And this kinda frustrated me. Like it kinda got on my nerves, my patience grew thinner than it every should have. At first I’d be entertaining the conversations and I thought the redundancy was kinda endearing… but after about 6 months of this I started not really giving her my full attention each time I spoke with her. Sometimes I would just feel like I needed to get through the conversation and that was the goal - not to engage a conversation, but rather, to ‘survive’ it without losing my patience. Sometimes I would finish her sentences for her (because I knew every word to the stories she told at this point), and when I would try to talk to her, I would usually try to make the conversation as brief as possible. It would just be to ask her if she needed anything (like food or water or to change her position in her bed, etc.), and try to keep it as simple as possible.
Like I always told her I loved her, and I’d always do something for her if she needed me to, but there was this feeling of kinda dreading the moments I have to talk with her for extended times. I think part of this came from thinking she was going to be around forever - like she was so healthy for her age at 85, I thought this situation was going to last for the next 10, 15 years.
And she died a few weeks ago, at age 91.
I feel so guilty for the impatience that I had. She was such a tough lady, who did everything for her kids, did everything she needed to do and beyond… and look at the product of that… impatience and frustration at the inevitable cognitive decline that most people will have to face in their lifetime. I wish I could take back the times I finished her sentences, and even though I think I fulfilled my duties to her in an acceptable way…she didn’t deserve acceptable. She deserved much more than that. I can at least look to my mom, who really gave Baba the full attention she deserved. Any time Baba would start a story “Did I every tell you about the time me and Sasha went to Florida….” my mom would say “ Ohhh Baba I don’t think I’ve heard that one yet”, even though she’s heard it hundreds of times at this point. I hope when my mom gets to be Baba’s age, I can give her the same patience she gave to Baba.
So I know that Lex’s story and mine have some similarities at the surface, we likely had very different experiences, and different lessons could be learned from them. I’d say to anyone who reads this - be patient with people - especially old people. If you are going through periods of time when you need to grind through discomfort, find a way to link it back to your life goals. Try to find a way to link any kind of grinding action to a long-term goal, and it quickly transforms it from a demoralizing task to an enjoyable one. I have a really long way to go to master that skill.
Lex, I think Baban is super proud of you, for all you’ve accomplished in your life already, and she knew you’re gonna be accomplishing much more in the future. I think you’re super strong for holding it together and not shedding a single tear during this conversation, because I know I would be if I were in your shoes. I’ll be speaking at a parastos service on behalf of Baba this weekend, and this video really showed me how a brave role model speaks on behalf of their loved ones.
Primite moje najiskrenije saučešće
Thank you for sharing your story. You was a good granddaughter! Lex said nice words about his Babanja, but words are futile. Babanja died alone in another country. Real care from Lex she hasn't got. Real deads seem not so spectacular. I wish I could live the end of my life with my family who knows and loves me. Even if they haven't angel patience all the time with me.
Condolences!
🕊️💜🕊️
One of the hardest things we must face and deal with in life is losing someone we care about and love.
Beautiful to realize what unconditional love and support can do! Thank you for sharing.
Lex you are such a great inspiration and role model for many of us. Through your podcasts you have ignited the flame of curiosity for science and innovation which is necessary to recruit young minds that will make the difference in this world. Your lessons are watched by your Mexican student (myself) whom you have never known. It is not only the work you have done but also the positive influence it has on others. Thank you for being Lex Fridman, and continue with the Legacy
It's not that hard for a blogger to speak on a funeral. Was Lex around when Babanja was old and weak? No. She died alone in Moscow, thousands kilometers away. Sad.

My family is from Russia (in Canada now), and my Babushka was actually originally from Kharkiv aswell, and listening to you speak of her truly brought me to tears. When you spoke about her watching over the world silently, and speaking only when she had wisdom to impart, and teaching you that the emotional ups and downs of everyday will always come, but to stay steady, if was as if you were speaking about my Grandmother. She taught me the importance of words, and how to use them, and to always be wary of the power that they hold, and to wield that power wisely. She taught me that I can do anything, and to never forget the strength that lies within me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing these beautiful memories and lessons. Любовь побеждает. Респект вам из Канады. (Forgive my Russian, I don't ever get to use it)
I'm so sorry for your loss, losing a grandparent is very hard, I have lost mine and that's something that I'm still getting over many years after. I'm sorry Lex, stay strong.
Lex I don't know if you will read this, but this is so beautiful and vulnerable. I don't have the words to say how I felt looking at this. I was deeply inspired, deeply saddened by your story of your lovely nan, inspired and strengthened by her through this, and ultimately, I felt deep hope. Every time I watch one of your videos I breathe a sigh of relief, you are a breath of fresh air to me. Your ethics and values that drive you, resonate with me, and back me up. I don't know anyone like you, and it brings me deep relief and hope and comfort listening to someone I can deeply relate to. Thank you for taking all the risks you do, and or being who you are. It has changed my life, in listening to you. Strengthened me, guided me, and brought me home to myself. Resonating with you, has been profound. Thanks.
Words are just words. Horrible things happen in the world because sons and daughters left their Babanjas when they are old and weak and need help. They prefer to launch careers far away. Sad.
A glass of vodka and nice words won't substitute care and real support.
I am honored to know you for decades in some small way, thanks to her tenacity and love. RIP Lovely Lady
I wasn't blessed with an inspirational grandmother, but you have now allowed me to make your grandmother my grandmother. I am thankful for the lessons, and thankful that you shared them, Lex. You're the best.
If she was the one who taught you those things, how to be a man.... She did a fine job. I don't know you, but it is obvious through your words that you are a good man, a good person and just a wonderful human being. I am sure she is and has always been proud of who you are. I am so sorry for you loss.
Such beautiful words. As a mother, it made me think about the impact I have in my kids and husband. You made me cry, you are a wonderful man and I am sure your grandmother is proud that your message of knowledge, kindness and love is reaching out to so many people - you've already accomplished a great thing in life: to inspire thousands of people all over the world. I am praying for your grandma and for you. We love you, Lex.
I'm sure your grandmother is very proud of you, Lex. Sending love to you. Keep going. You are so inspiring.
man u made your grandma proud...may her soul rest in peace...strenght to u and your family
She did a fantastic job... She can be proud.....never doubt yourself and share your ability with others.... She was so right...
My deepest condolences, Lex. Rest in peace, Babanya. You are carrying her torch now. Her light shines through you. May she smile.
What a blessing this deep love you -- and others -- shared with Ann. Thank you for sharing with us your grief and her lessons. May you heal, and may we learn.
I have never personally known anything approaching the bond of affection and support you describe. What an astounding strength of spirit. What a rare and great heart.
She lives in you. Believe in yourself, and love on.
🙏♥️🕯️
My condolences to your family Lex. I have watched your channel for some time and can see the positive influence she has had in your life. When a loved one passes, you being to realize (hopefully) what is important in your life.
Youre a good man lex I truly wish you nothing but the best in life. Also thank you for sharing these thoughts they really do bring people happiness
Держитесь, Лекс. Все, кого мы любим, навсегда остаются с нами, в сердце. Лучи поддержки вам от бабушкиной землячки.
She would be proud
You cannot disappoint your Grand Mother, because she saw you and she saw the value of your respect and beliefs and belief in her.
She could not disappoint you because she was always living to make you proud and inspire you.
She empowered you to be more than a mere man. You are the epitome of her values and beliefs.
Through you she has ensured a bold legacy will endure.
You are a super dense and resilient object, a suit of armour that she built.
This was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen here on youtube, and maybe outside of it. Thank you for sharing your memories and lessons, I will take them with me. You have made a difference. Thank you.
Lex, I do not know you, but I love what you stand for.
Thank you for sharing with us man. She sounds like an amazing person. You have done her a great honor with this video. But you have done her an even greater honor with your spirit.
I lost my Grandpa seven years ago. I know it was exactly seven years ago, because it was right when I began dating my girlfriend at the time, who is now my wife. He never got to meet her. It has been seven years, and I don't know that I've went a single day without thinking about him, or something he has taught me. Like your Grandma; he taught me what it is to be a man, to be a good person, and to fight for what I believed in.
I know you will never forget what you learned from her. You will continue to make her proud, and you will help make the world a better place because of it. Just like she did.
Cheers.
Алексей, примите искренние соболезнования. Передайте мои соболезнования своим маме и папе. Пусть земля будет Вашей бабушке пухом.
My grandma would have been 81 today, she passed away at the end of last year. Thank you for this video.
Very touching. Sorry for your loss. Lost both of my parents last year hit me deep
Sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like a wonderful grandmother. I lost my grandparents over twenty years ago, but still think of them all the time.
Thank you lex for this video. I was born in really bad conditions in Russia as well. This video helped me appreciate even more my grandmother who sacrificed for my parents and me. Whole my life I tried do become financially free and everyday I'm getting close to my goal. I want to give my grandma and my parents a really good life since they worked hard their.
Царство небесное твоей бабине.
Sorry for your loss, take care Lex.
What a touching tribute to your grandma. It sounds like she was a wonderful woman in your life. 💖
Such a beautiful tribute.May she rest in peace!
That was so beautiful. 💙
To all my oma i lost this year aswell, gone far too soon but never ever forgotten and her love share i treasure for eternity!
I grew up with my grandmother in a small town Myanmar until I became 6 years old so I can relate the story with you. But my grandmother was an immigrant from China
and totally illiterate as all of my parents too. my father learned how to read and write from the monastery. I wish I was given valuable teaching and advice like your grandmother. In that sense, you have a huge advantage so thank her more. Thank you for sharing a heartwarming story.
I love my parents and the love and compassion they have shown on everyone. This reminds of my parents. What a way to tribute your grand mother. She will be very happy to watch this video where ever she is.
Lex, I think your grandma changed life for a lot of people by making you who you are today. You, Joe rogan, David goggins, Jocko Willink have had a very profound impact on my life.
It is inspiring to read the comments and witness the community of real, thinking, loving humans you have built around your podcasts. Stay strong and keep that fire going.
My Grandmother was an indentured servant from the the age of 8 to 28. To escape, she married a man who turned out to be an abusive alcoholic. From this she raised two daughters. When family and friends told her to leave him she would not. She believed life in such a house (abusive, an outdoor toilet, a wood stove, and freezing in winter) was preferable to living in a housing project. A place where corrupting influences would dominate her daughters, their virtue would be taken, and their life paths would be little different from hers. Forty-five years did she live that life. She did this so her daughters, one of which is my Mother, would have a better life.
Likewise, my Mother stayed with my Father for her children. Outgoing, educated, and most of all virtuous-I never saw my Mother drink alcohol, she did not curse, she made home cooked meals, she forced us to study, and she made a home I miss. Most of all she taught me how to treat a woman and what to look for in a woman. There is a lot of negativity she could have passed onto me from her upbringing. I saw none of it. The curses of alcoholism, abuse, and the unthinking mind died with the tormented man that was my Grandfather.
My Grandmother and my Mother are the most important people in my life. Though, half of me is of my Father, I could not have changed the path of my life from that of my ancestors without these two women. And 4th Generation Feminists say "Well behaved women don't make history". Whatever. Such women make people to continue and advance our civilization.
So, Lex, to our Mothers and our Grandmothers.
Que descansen en su merecida paz
I think your grandma and mother are strong and beautiful souls. Feminists are often just selfish and seek only personal comfort and pleasure. This won't bring any sweet fruit after all.
Thank you Lex, have my heartfelt sympathy. I loved you from the first interview I've heard with you but now we are sister and brother because our magical grandmothers. What stood out most for me was "Love life whether it's good or bad and love people as well." that is how our life will be magical.
Thank you Lex I can tell that would have been hard and I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost 2 best friends and my dad myself over the last few years. It left a hole in my heart that I don't think will be ever filled. I'm not someone who cries
I pushed that emotion down a lot to the point that I stopped myself from crying over my dad's coffin. I'm not saying that to sound tough. This video got to me a bit. All you can take is the lessons that people leave you with and try to live a good life in their memory. Cherish the people you still have. Stay strong.
Thank you for sharing this, Lex. You truly are putting love out into the world. Keep it up, brother.
Lex my man, my grandmother is 92 from Vinnystia. I feel this videos on many levels, thank you. Sending Love brother stay strong, she’s looking down with a smile
your pain, sentiment, pride and love for her are palpable. a beautiful tribute that brought me to tears.
I am sorry for your loss my internet friend, but remember her inspiration inspires you to do what you do. Your videos inspire me to learn and wake up everyday. She's still inspiring everyone.
im very sorry to hear about your loss, youre a fantastic person and this podcast has given me a shred of hope for humanity recently
