I've listened to a lot of his podcasts, I do not recall him mentioning MIT once.
>- blocks anybody who looks into his past
What? You mean in youtube comments? Aren't they supposed to be talking about the video not about whatever his past is? (I have no idea about his past, I just know he did something related to self driving cars at some point)
>- styles himself as an expert version of jre while being a terrible interviewer
He often describes himself as a terrible interviewer (which I disagree with), so I'm not sure how he's "styling himself" as anything
>- is often misinformed about the subjects of his podcasts.
He's an audience stand in who asks questions to the subject matter expert that he has on his podcast. If he already knew everything it would break the format.
