Huberman pulls out the book to read a brief but warm acknowledgment of Chris — thanking him for friendship, for helping him make sense of the podcast space he describes as 'the everyone sphere,' and for being genuinely available at any hour for an emergency or an adventure. He recalls first seeing Chris online, then on Rogan, and notes with approval that Chris thinks at the intersections of conflicting opinions and generates third positions rather than defending flags. The moment becomes the springboard for a reflection on one of life's rarer pleasures: becoming admired by people you already admire ^{[1] — Chris Williamson "One of the almost inarguable great parts of life is becoming respected and admired by people that you respect and admire." 2:05:39 Play} . Chris is characteristically clear-eyed about the pathology at the far end — the social climber who reverse-engineers himself to be liked by people he respects, and who has nothing of his own underneath. But assuming the people you respect are genuinely discerning, he says, you can't fugazi your way to their regard. The conversation becomes quietly one of the episode's most emotionally resonant passages.
