I relate to understanding the emptiness of our egoic dynamics, understanding the non-absolute nature of our ego, the relational nature of things, the interconnectedness and the interdependence of all things. I think it's so easy to have an identity which we think is like, I am this. but we're not this. This doesn't exist out of relation to that.

And that doesn't relate in relation to this other thing. So understanding the chain of relationality and then how our ego manifests in all of that. So having the ability to both dissolve one's relationship to like static egoic dynamics, but also having a sense of identity and having a sense of what one's self-expression is and having like when we are, there is this thing about will

When you're competing, you can feel when someone has an unbreakable will. When you're matching up against somebody and they're wishy-washy, you can just blow through them. But when their will is just like – I'll never forget Marcelo Garcia against Colossans in a big world championship match.

Colossans was wrist-locking everybody, and Marcelo put his hand right into the wrist lock and looked into his eyes. It's like, try it. He just put his hand into it. And you can break someone by being unbreakable. You can see a lot of fights where somebody tries to submit someone and someone is unsubmitted.

And the person who has the huge advantage gets broken because they realize, holy shit, this guy is unbreakable. And so they become broken, right? So there's having the ability to have that, like when you touch a fighter, like fighters all rub up against each other. You learn a lot, like feeling someone. So if you meet fighters that hug, you learn so much on the touch.

And you can feel when someone is brittle. You touch them, you can feel how much contact they've taken, how much they've been hit, how much they've absorbed, how much they've been abused, how much they've received. And you can feel where their energy stops. You can feel if there's just static things in them. And then you can also feel when the earth is moving inside of them.

When it's just like this molten energy, it's just moving in them. And when you feel a body that like, like it just can envelop you and it can be a mountain or it can be like water. So I relate to ego in that. You want to be able to be like water and be like a mountain. I've never answered that question before. I just riffed on that. But that's like the essence of how I relate to it.

I really respect Lex. I think what he does is awesome. I love his podcast. He's brilliant. And the way he, in really prickly issues, has got people on both sides of things and welcomes everyone in and has dialogue. I have a huge amount of respect for how Lex handles himself in the public world.
