Lex Fridman’s interview with Elon Musk and the Neuralink team clocks in at 8.5 hours.
That’s almost double the spoken length of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
Is the resultant content anywhere near comparable?

@Daojoan the poor editors!
It reminds me of photographers that are unable to cull their collected images down to a digestable volume for the public to consume. I curate the images I take down to the not-terrible at minimum, and the best of the best.. at best - depending on audience and criteria. But usually yields maybe 10% of the images eventually going on my website. I shot a motorsport event and had maybe 200 images I deemed good enough to put up, then saw someone dump their entire sd card of 2000 images on facebook. Most were shit, and clearly they spent no time curating and culling down, and they were absolutely painful to click through.
I suspect, in the case of Musk though, that he probably deems everything he says to be of tremndous value as you say, and any editor would be terrifiedof his wrath at cutting out 5 hours of him speaking. I say he probably needs to be more concise, and Lex needs to be a better host and guide the conversation better (he’s a terrible conversationalist - I dislike unnnecessary small talk as much as the next person, but I feel completely adequate after watching him), and it seems a lot of things are clarified in a circle for the sake of seeming intelligent yet accessible to the wanna-be intellectuals following them.
