Good things end.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

It sucks.

#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

But then it makes the moment more delicious, you know, that you do get to spend together.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

Okay.

#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

Lex Fridman Podcast
#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

Right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

And there's something like body language, the presentation of the whole thing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

I mean, yeah, I'm a big fan of constraint mediums of communication, which writing is, or voice, like Clubhouse.

There's a personality to a human being when you just hear their voice.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator

It's not just, you could say it's the tone of voice, but you can like, what is it?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#364 โ€“ Chris Voss: FBI Hostage Negotiator
