In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, the boys talk about a conspiracy theory that has been going around since before the internet existed. They discuss the disappearance of Art Bell and how he may have faked his own disappearance to cover up a UFO attack on the United States. They also discuss the possibility of a Nibiru attack on Earth and the possibility that it could have come from another planet. The boys also talk about some of their favorite conspiracy theories that have been around for as long as they've been alive and how they think it could be coming to us in the near future. And of course, they talk about what they think is going to happen to us on the day of the eclipse on September 9th. We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for the next one!

00:04:03.000Terrence McKenna had this crazy setup in Hawaii where he lived in Kona on the mountain, and he was totally off the grid, but way more than Art Bell.
00:04:34.000He's just up there writing and tripping, and then he would leave, like, every six months.
00:04:39.000He would take off and leave for six months and just do these tours where he would do these speaking things in, like, hippie places like Austin, Texas, and, you know, Portland, Oregon, and shit like that.
00:04:51.000And they would gather around all these people to listen to all of his stuff.
00:04:58.000Psychedelic Salon's a podcast, a great podcast, and I've had Lorenzo from Psychedelic Salon on, but it's all like old recordings of Timothy Leary and Alan Watts.
00:06:42.000It was Terrence, along with a lot of other psychedelic researchers, they sort of formulated some of the parts of this hypothesis.
00:06:49.000But the parts of this hypothesis had to deal with human beings evolving from lower primates because the lower primates were forced to try out new foods because...
00:06:59.000The rainforests were receding in the grasslands, and all these undulates who were eating up all the plants as they were growing up, they were shitting.
00:07:06.000And they were leaving cow patties, and in these cow patties, the mushrooms, of course, would grow.
00:07:11.000So these monkey people-like things that were us, that were living in the trees, they were forced to test out new food sources.
00:07:19.000And it coincides, this theory coincides with climate data that we know about changing of the temperatures back in Africa during that time, in these particular regions.
00:07:29.000And he thinks that these lower primates started experimenting with mushrooms.
00:07:34.000They'd flip cow patties all the time to get beetles and bugs and things along those lines.
00:07:38.000And so they would flip it, and they would pick these mushrooms out to see if they could eat them.
00:07:43.000Well, in low doses, mushrooms enhance visual acuity, so it would help you be a better hunter, makes you more sensitive, and it makes you more horny, which would make you more likely to breed.
00:07:54.000So you would be much more likely to be a successful hunter and more likely to breed.
00:07:58.000That's like a triple threat right there.
00:08:02.000And that's outside of the psychedelic effects, right?
00:08:05.000The psychedelic effects of enhancing community, of creative thinking, all these things that happen when you do mushrooms in varying doses.
00:08:13.000And he believes that mushrooms are responsible for the doubling of the human brain size over a period of two million years, which is apparently the biggest mystery in the fossil record.
00:11:29.000And you, and you, it's just a joyfulness because it's, it's like you get this perspective.
00:11:34.000It's like such a zoomed out perspective on this thing in such a small instant of time that it's just like, it's like being on a ride, you know, it's like you're just suddenly there and you're like, Do you feel like when, I've been talking about this a lot, do you feel like that what's going on is like a form of hypnosis?
00:11:52.000When a comedian is like killing over a crowd, like it's like a form of hypnosis?
00:11:56.000Because I always feel like when I'm watching someone on stage and they really got me, I'm not really thinking, I'm kind of allowing them to think for me and I'm just like sitting down smiling and enjoying the ride they take me on.
00:12:10.000That's one of the reasons why it's very important to really think carefully about people's attention spans and how to get these ideas into their head.
00:12:19.000I think it is, in a way, a state of mind that you achieve on stage that's very similar to hypnosis.
00:12:27.000Yeah, you're talking about the effect on people and the idea of what's happening.
00:12:33.000I think the comedian as well, because I feel like it's my job to put all the pieces together and practice it and just tweak it.
00:12:40.000But when I get on stage and it starts happening, I feel like I'm as much of a passenger as I am the driver.
00:12:50.000I mean, you know, like sometimes I'll say that the feeling that I get on stage, if I'm, you know, making music or even just like riffing or whatever, is that I feel like I'm actually, I'm watching the show or I actually step out of myself and I'm actually kind of enjoying the show.
00:13:07.000And then there'll be a moment where I'll be like, oh, fuck, right.
00:15:56.000That's a tough racket because some people, I don't know, I mean, obviously there are people that have this weird thing that happens when, you know, that hangry thing or whatever, their bloodshed, so then they kind of get crazy.
00:16:07.000However, I will say, for the most part, it's about discipline.
00:18:34.000Like, you know, like for breakfast, it's like this, what I call the, or what he calls the Yorgi shake, my trainer.
00:18:40.000He has this shake that he digs, and it's like half kefir, half, or no, a cup of, yeah, a cup of oats, raw oats, half a cup of kefir, half a cup of water, and then 35 grams of J-Rob chocolate.
00:19:13.000There's a lot of fucking dummies that also eat good and they're annoying.
00:19:17.000And then for regular people that like want to be healthy but they don't want to be that annoying guy at the gym that's fucking just droning on and on about his sets and his lifts and you start thinking that being healthy is for idiots.
00:19:32.000You know my favorite thing that I've been learning like lifting and sometimes I go to Gold's on Saturday like as a treat so like we go to Gold's in Venice And what I love about anything that I get involved with is just observing how the system works.
00:21:02.000Because if someone's giving you a small piece of corrective advice for an exercise that you're doing in the moment, or that you're doing, so it's not a critique of the exercise itself, It's more like, I'm looking at you doing this exercise, and here's a little piece that might make it more efficient.
00:22:37.000There's nothing that pisses me off more.
00:22:39.000It's like when someone's like, here, let me capitalize on an idea that was not really delivered at the right timing, you know, or whatever.
00:22:47.000It's like, but I'm just going to claim responsibility.
00:22:49.000Yeah, don't say, Debbie just had a great idea.
00:23:10.000That culture of like not like being in a corporate world and like one person is the boss and the other people have to kiss ass on the boss But then the boss has a boss the regional boss was coming by everybody tighten up.
00:23:21.000Yep, and he's gonna put his good tie on The only time that system works is if the boss is a really Sure.
00:23:36.000That's the only time, which is very, very rare.
00:23:50.000Just from a rational, logistic, efficient-making mindset.
00:23:56.000And what the value of efficiency also relates to the happiness of the workers and their well-being.
00:24:02.000Not coddling too much, but providing just the right amount of things plus a little bit extra to give it the grease that it needs to feel good.
00:24:10.000And also finding people to fill your team that are like-minded or willing to kind of think that way.
00:24:31.000You know, because everything changes, so it might not be sustainable.
00:24:33.000If we keep going, I feel like people like to look at the worst aspects of any point in time, right?
00:24:40.000Whether it's with climate change or a crazy presidential situation or race relations or whatever.
00:24:46.000We always look at the worst aspects of it.
00:24:48.000But I think, overall, it's pretty undeniable that this is the best time ever to be alive.
00:24:54.000In terms of healthcare, in terms of the science behind keeping people alive, in terms of your ability to get information, in terms of our ability to communicate with each other, and bullshit to get through to us.
00:25:07.000It's way less likely that bullshit gets through to people today than the propaganda they could spew just in the 1960s and get over on us.
00:25:14.000That's the Gulf of Tonkin thing, the whole reason why we got into war.
00:25:18.000So I just think that if we can keep it together and we can keep going, I think 40 years from now, 50 years from now, I think we're going to realize that that should be the norm.
00:25:28.000And that the really healthy communities is going to be the norm.
00:25:30.000And all these things, this is almost like aberrations that when we look back in time and think of people who were kings and they had people under them and they executed people at their own whim.
00:25:41.000That only exists in a few places today.
00:25:44.000It's like North Korea and maybe a couple other places.
00:25:48.000I feel like in the future, we're all going to move towards it.
00:25:51.000It's just hard to see while we're in it.
00:25:53.000We're all moving towards a better way of living.
00:25:56.000I mean, I think of it, you know, if I go back to that, like the reality awareness issue or the idea that, you know, there are multiverses and that every choice splits off and makes another choice, makes another choice.
00:26:15.000In essence, if anything is possible, if the amount of realities and possibilities that exist are infinite, but we're perceiving one point as a consciousness experiment or whatever you want to call it, but as your point of reference,
00:26:31.000as you move in every choice that you make, you can actually steer yourself to the reality that you want to live in.
00:26:37.000I mean, I think that there's something great about seeing the trajectory of what you just described and moving towards that future.
00:26:46.000But being proactive in the way that you can.
00:27:27.000Distributed power is the best power, especially if it is connected, because then it can manage itself.
00:27:33.000I mean, even with artificial intelligence and things like that, or just really good programming, it just optimizes constantly in real time based on a sensor array.
00:27:43.000Well, you know, they use really good backcountry solar panels to charge batteries for cameras and batteries for phones.
00:27:51.000My friend Adam was in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.
00:27:57.000He went on this epic backcountry hunt, and one of the things that he did is he brought this solar thing to charge his phone every day, and he would do Insta stories from the top of the mountain.
00:28:18.000There's a company out of Australia that makes these solar generators, and they're like 17 grand or something like that, or maybe even...
00:28:24.000Oh, no, they might even be more, like 30 grand or something.
00:28:26.000Anyways, it's this fairly lightweight system.
00:28:29.000It's like a mast system that has a base and a solar array, and it tracks the sun.
00:28:37.000So it moves automatically with the sun and it also has some other pre-programmed weather data that's also integrated into it, either real-time or stored.
00:28:46.000But it's able to produce a pretty decent amount of electricity.
00:28:51.000I don't remember the numbers, but it was definitely way more than a trickle charge.
00:28:55.000You could run a refrigeration system on it, like a small refrigeration system.
00:29:01.000So you could keep food from perishing and maybe even get some air conditioning going or something.
00:30:09.000I think it's the same thing, like, just look at kids on a playground and see how they organize themselves socially.
00:30:16.000And then just expand that with a little bit more complexity, and you have this idea of the structure of secrecy and ancient cults that have now risen to Rosicrucians and Masons and the Illuminati and those types of things.
00:33:02.000I mean, I don't think it's impossible, but again, I think it's not to the extent at which, when you compress all the data and you formulate a story about it.
00:33:19.000Like, you can't talk about that stuff broadly.
00:33:21.000It also seems super likely to me that in the future we won't send biological entities into these places that have all these limitations as far as, like, what we can survive.
00:33:31.000We'll send some sort of an artificial intelligence.
00:33:39.000Oh man, but then the question is, my theory is that the whole propulsion or compulsion to constantly be making technology is based on our desire to make or build ourselves outside of ourselves.
00:33:55.000So without the normal biological means, it's like we're fascinated at simulating ourselves outside of ourselves.
00:34:03.000And so, in essence, we could just be that already.
00:34:08.000And so it's like we're just like on this constant carrot-chasing propulsion system.
00:34:16.000Yeah, there's a lot of people that when they look at the image of the alien, they look at that image and they say that it's entirely preposterous that someone would achieve or something would achieve a humanoid-like shape with all the massive amounts of different shapes that we have on Earth.
00:34:49.000Yeah, and the other thing is, it's one of my pet peeves, and I'm just putting this in the spectrum of science fiction.
00:34:58.000Every celestial body, every planet, every moon, they all have different gravities.
00:35:03.000So there's going to be different types of creatures.
00:35:06.000Not only that, but when they come to our planet, they're going to need a really strong exoskeleton suit.
00:35:11.000Or they're going to be so incredibly strong that it wouldn't matter.
00:35:16.000Atmospheric gases, like how they produce energy.
00:35:20.000There's such a vast complexity that life is the way that it is now because of all the elements that were present at the times that they were present in our reality.
00:35:32.000And so, and even if you take it on a software level, like something like, what was that game Spore, where it was built on a generative idea.
00:36:25.000It starts super small as little one-celled organisms and works all the way up to an organism getting on land and then you're really running a whole planet.
00:36:33.000So when these things are happening, do these little fuckers evolve?
00:37:15.000That's why I call human beings, the human race, a simulation species.
00:37:19.000It's like everything that we do, we generate our ideas.
00:37:23.000They're all based on our observation of the world around us and then utilizing that in some way for ourselves.
00:37:30.000And so, like, you know, design of things, why we color things the way they are, certain chemicals, or why things are, you know, look the way they look, or they're shaped the way they're shaped, all of that.
00:37:41.000So when I see a game about simulation, of course, we're going to make a game about simulations.
00:37:49.000Arguably, like, children playing with dolls and figures and stuff like that's another form of simulation.
00:37:55.000But the idea of, like, having the awareness of another reality and...
00:37:59.000Projecting the idea that you want with bigger, I guess, more control.
00:38:07.000Having control over a representation of your idea of a desired reality is crazy.
00:38:13.000I mean, that's like simulation within simulation within simulation.
00:38:17.000It's totally, to me, a nice piece of evidence for that.
00:38:21.000Yeah, I think we're going to get better at it, and it's going to get indiscernible.
00:38:24.000You're going to be able to put some headphones on, and they're going to plug some stuff, maybe put some of those greasy pads with the wires.
00:45:27.000Could you fucking imagine, like, of all the superpowers, that's the one that I think so appeals to kids like me when I was young, when I was little and worried about the world and nervous and, you know, you get picked on.
00:46:23.000I mean comic, like comic from the 70s, and just like, he's beating the fuck out of Loki, and Loki's kind of like, ugh, kind of fucked up, and Hulk is just motionless, and then it said that.
00:47:56.000It's adult humor, but today it's totally rape culture.
00:47:58.000There's a lot of shit that was in Playboy magazine and those ads that if you saw, or those cartoons rather, that you saw today, you'd be like, you can't print this.
00:49:37.000And when she was apologizing, Remember, she made this video that will make your fucking brain hurt.
00:49:44.000She's sitting there with Doreen Mackeson from Black Lives Matter, and they're sitting on a couch, cross-legged, with their shoes off, which, by the way, nobody knows.
00:49:54.000You sit down like that with me, I'm like, hey, what are we doing here?
00:50:55.000So they went over to Japan to talk to these folks and they universally were saying when they interviewed people in the street that they're happy that someone is expressing Japanese culture and that they're aware of Japanese culture and they thought it was a very good thing.
00:52:56.000And not to say that people fighting for rights to have handicapped parking in the front of a building, that's just a great idea.
00:53:06.000But I'm just saying that what you were kind of referring to, that sensitivity comes from that, where someone's afraid of doing something wrong.
00:53:14.000And it just starts feeding back and feeding back and feeding back.
00:53:17.000And then you get people so fearful of any choice that they're making.
00:53:21.000Because I feel it, you know, every time I walk into a grocery store, I'm like, this entire store could be reduced to 5% the volume that it is right now, and the amount of people in that store would have all the products they need.
00:53:36.000So, the inundation of choice, choice, choice, choice, choice, and fear of doing something wrong, whether it's because I want it to look perfect, or I want to look perfect, or whatever it is.
00:53:50.000Mix that all together and it's a recipe for...
00:53:54.000I think another factor though is that people get to complain and that people don't like when people are mad at them So when you have a giant group of people that can communicate instantaneously with with anybody at any time you're going to get More prevalence of complaining.
00:54:12.000It's the same percentage of people are complaining, but they weren't able to access everyone as they were to get to Katy Perry and bitch about her wearing braids, right?
00:54:21.000So in the past, like in the Bo Derek days, when Bo Derek wore braids in 10, which is really back before nobody was wearing those cornrows.
00:56:28.000Everything's going to be totally cool.
00:56:30.000I really think that this complaining thing is what's going on.
00:56:34.000Nobody likes to have people mad at them.
00:56:36.000And that's why people get mad at people.
00:56:38.000That's why people get mad at people over nothing.
00:56:40.000They love to find someone who fucked up and get mad.
00:56:43.000We were talking about this yesterday, the Anthony Bourdain casual response that he had at the airport by TMZ that became this huge thing where they said, if you had to serve dinner to Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump, what would you serve?
00:57:15.000If you are really offended by that, really offended by that, you are such a monumental pussy that you don't deserve to have an opinion on things.
00:57:25.000Like, if that really bothered you to your core, I can't believe he's threatening POTUS. Like, you are such a fucking baby that you shouldn't be allowed to talk about things.
00:57:39.000And there was hundreds of those people that were commenting on the TMZ thing.
00:57:42.000And I realized, like, this is just a consequence of people being able to communicate openly with anybody.
00:57:48.000So, because of that, you're getting...
00:57:51.000In the moment that they're feeling it.
00:57:52.000Yes, and you're getting so many people whose opinions just you don't care for, you don't want to hear, you don't appreciate or respect their intellect, and they're spouting out nonsense.
00:58:02.000But if you're a person who has to hear that, it hurts.
00:58:05.000If you read something that's saying, someone's saying really mean shit about Katy Perry and her hair, this fucking bitch thinks she's going to appropriate black culture and this and that, you know, fuck you ho, and she starts reading that.
00:58:15.000The panic that sets in, thinking that poor Katy Perry, there's bodyguards with fucking machine guns looking out the windows, and Katy Perry is in her Beverly Hills mansion, and all these girls are like, I'll fucking cut you, ho!
01:00:26.000You've got to be able to moderate yourself, and you've got to create some filters, and understand how to just process something very quickly, and just be like, is this worth Energy or not?
01:00:39.000When you're someone like Katy Perry, too, you're riding on this wave of popularity.
01:00:43.000I mean, it's not to say that she's not talented.
01:00:46.000She certainly is a talented singer and performer, but a big part of who she is relies on her attractiveness and her cultural relevance, like how famous she is right now.
01:02:43.000Well, it's like the king has no clothes.
01:02:45.000But, you know, the thing before that, what you were saying about pop star, like, you know, on how you look and your relevance, that's absolutely true.
01:02:55.000And that's the thing I always feel for, in a way.
01:02:58.000I feel for people that base their careers on that.
01:03:07.000But when you're someone like Joni Mitchell, who both was very striking, but obviously involved in the music that she made, she was responsible for what she was making, and you knew that it was her, her.
01:03:20.000Whereas a pop star is like, I don't know, they're using Stargate from Sweden.
01:05:38.000Like, there was a woman that he ended up getting together with one night in Las Vegas and But it was kind of a team, kind of catfished a little bit.
01:05:47.000They got a tape of him or something like that.
01:05:51.000This is me just hearing it from other people.
01:07:34.000And it kept getting more who knows and more who knows.
01:07:38.000And the who knows that I'm at right now is just like, fuck man, where is this going?
01:07:43.000I really think it's going to some weird virtual reality thing that people are going to plug into and it's going to be better than life.
01:07:50.000Well, yeah, I mean, we're designing a better interface for it all the time, but right now we're limited to little glowing rectangles.
01:07:57.000We are, but the kids that are super into video games, they're essentially experiencing it right now, just in a weird, you know, they're right in front of the screen, playing games.
01:08:10.000I had an issue for a few years with Quake playing online, which is really fun, multiplayer, but I shy away from computer games now because of that.
01:10:19.000I think it's because it's like a movie, but it simulates real-time action from the first-person point of view, and so it's kind of exciting.
01:10:44.000I feel like my seven-year-old now, like if I take my seven-year-old to a restaurant and the TV's on, they stare at the TV. You know, little kids like stare at TV. I feel like that.
01:10:52.000Like, you're talking about Hardcore Henry, and I'm like, yeah, probably pretty cool.
01:10:55.000But I mean, while I'm just staring at this fucking video game.
01:12:16.000If they're watching it on Twitch, can someone have a chat in the other screen where the person who's playing can read the chat and read where people are?
01:12:22.000I've been doing that recently, and they can talk to me while I'm playing.
01:12:57.000So, like, Mighty Mouse is actually doing this, too, and he did a custom game with all of his fans, and 100 people that were just watching him, I jumped in, too, were all playing, and Rampage does this, too, and people end up going to attack them, because they want to be the guy that killed Mighty Mouse in the game, or whatever it is,
01:13:13.000but, like, they're just watching his thing.
01:13:19.000But the thing that I like, I like co-op games.
01:13:22.000So I like fighting AI with other humans.
01:13:24.000Like, you know, like people either, like, that are, they're coming, because what I discovered when I was playing, um, uh, what is it called?
01:13:47.000But I was playing it, and it's one of those massive...
01:13:51.000Multiplayer games and like every time it starts like there's all these people running around and you don't know anybody you might you might but I didn't and I would just get killed within Milliseconds.
01:14:07.000Yeah unreal and unreal tournament Does that was another one that kind of like oh gotcha came like quake like and they had all these crazy cool weapons Yeah amazing graphics.
01:14:17.000That's what these all are They're all that.
01:16:12.000So this is what you're seeing in the reality.
01:16:14.000And so certain things, you know, it depends on how one-to-one.
01:16:17.000I hope that in the future with real-time...
01:16:22.000Data capture with cloud capture you'll be able to pick up objects like it'll actually be able to Track up teddy bear and you reach out and the teddy bears there.
01:16:31.000It's lined up well So you naturalistically grab it you squeeze it and in real time the the the system is reading it so it's actually puppeting all the objects in the room and So yeah, and then the floor rumbles.
01:16:46.000There's steam that comes out, you know, kind of like a ride, but you are the visual component you're hijacked.
01:17:01.000Yeah, so The Void, but there's a place that's opening up hopefully in Los Angeles, which is totally rife for it because there's a huge VR community here.
01:17:27.000They have titles that they're working on, and they have experiences, what some people call simulations, experiences, interactive experiences, or just puzzles or whatever.
01:17:40.000There's people innovating for VR, so they're production companies that make VR videos.
01:17:49.000Create software, or they're just really good at capturing.
01:17:52.000There's 8i, which does spherical capture, or volumetric capture, it's called.
01:17:59.000Yeah, so there's a lot of people here.
01:18:02.000So the technology is here, and it's always being innovated, but at warehouse scale is the perfect marriage for people, especially in LA, who like to be active.
01:18:11.000It might feel weird about sitting down in a chair and just staring at a screen with a controller in their hand, but they can understand naturalistic movement.
01:18:20.000And you can, in a warehouse scale, you can actually see the size of the room and feel the breadth of the space.
01:18:26.000So, in that particular video, it seemed like they had chairs and tables and everything like that, but the actual textures on those chairs, that was all added later.
01:18:55.000I'm saying in the future, you'll actually be able to just have a movie set, and the system will already have a preloaded, pre-scanned, sized version of that room, but then there'll be sensors that are real-time calibrating it to make sure that it's rock solid,
01:19:11.000so when you reach out, you're like, oh, I don't feel like I had to move my hand a little higher to grab this.
01:19:15.000Right, you can just reach out, and it's right there.
01:19:16.000Yeah, it's a one-for-one representation.
01:19:18.000Do you think that the chair is bolted to the ground?
01:19:21.000Wow, look at these people all walking through there.
01:19:48.000I mean, that sounds like a whatever, but it's like, it's not, it's not.
01:19:52.000And then once it becomes wireless, I mean, remember when the only way to get to the internet, yeah, the only way to get to the internet was to have an ethernet cable connected to your device, right?
01:20:05.000The only problem with VR is that the processing power, so for a while it had to be tethered to a PC. Now they have PC backpacks.
01:20:13.000Well, now I guarantee you what they're going to have is like one of those, you know how you get one of those five charge battery packs for a phone where you recharge it five times?
01:20:22.000They're going to get one of those bitches.
01:20:23.000It's going to hook up to your phone and everything's going to take place.
01:20:26.000All the processing is going to be on your phone.
01:20:28.000You're going to have a Bluetooth headset and you're going to be able to go out into a park and do this shit.
01:21:11.000Microsoft's HoloLens uses this real-time, like, basically can see the environment around it by mapping it.
01:21:16.000So it stereoscopically maps it, and it creates a really quick texture map of the environment that you're in.
01:21:23.000So imagine that mixed with, like, the idea behind, I forget the name of the The project, but it was an early Microsoft project where it basically scraped all relevant types of photos and stitched them together and created virtual 3D environments of locations based on photographs that are everywhere on the internet.
01:21:43.000So it could recreate a plaza in Italy.
01:21:46.000And then using, like, kind of interpolation, like the AI software, kind of stitching it together, blah, blah, blah.
01:21:51.000So imagine that existing already just because people are passing by with their phones, they're taking pictures, they're taking video.
01:21:58.000So all of that data is now present according to the location that you're at, mixed with headsets that are able to scan in real time collectively that also gets processed and stitched together, cross-referenced together, so that instantaneously you can have a mapped, almost one-for-one game zone in a giant park.
01:22:19.000But, like, using things that are in the headset, that are tracking in real time, and then transmitting, or that are completely internal to the headset, and then also networked intelligence, too, simultaneously.
01:22:30.000And then also probably some fake stuff that they can create visually and with 3D sound.
01:22:45.000They're not even like regular speakers.
01:22:47.000They're slits that are above your ears that are pointed down.
01:22:49.000It's almost like hypersonic sound, you know, like sound that can be basically paper thin.
01:22:54.000So if I move the axis, you can't hear it.
01:22:56.000And then if I move it back on axis and you haven't moved your head, you'll hear it specifically in one tiny, thin slice of audio.
01:23:05.000It has to be very precise, so it's a form of that, but they're just pointing down, and they can simulate Dolby 5.1 binaurally, which is insane.
01:23:13.000Think about how crazy your earplugs are, right?
01:24:54.000I have to adjust to its detail, whereas the iPods, as soon as I put them in, I'm like, oh, that just sounds like a nice, perfect frequency curve.
01:25:52.000I mean, if I'm going to a concert or something like that, I think what's great about this, when I saw people talking about, like, what do you think about the Apple Watch when they first announced it?
01:26:03.000There were so many people that were like, it's so stupid.
01:29:04.000But it's so much more beautiful than seeing that edge.
01:29:07.000That edge is like the obvious edge at the bottom of the iPhone, where your fingerprint scanner goes, and the top of the iPhone, where that speaker is.
01:29:38.000It legitimately feels to me like a big step up from like a regular phone.
01:29:42.000I look at that, I'm like, okay, this is obviously next level.
01:29:45.000Yeah, I got the Essential phone, too, just to see what that display was like to kind of get a preview for the iPhone X. The iPhone X is going to be insane.
01:29:53.000That's going to blow it all out of the water.
01:30:01.000Just kind of like their last few iterations of computer.
01:30:04.000I mean, I always get the new everything from Apple, pretty much, and then just either sell or find someone who needs a computer or whatever and just give it to them.
01:30:13.000So I cycle through a lot of technology.
01:30:17.000And just for a while, the laptops were cool.
01:31:27.000There's probably a keyboard combo you can use.
01:31:29.000I think it's Command-App or Plus- The only other complaint that I would have is, I really like a tactile, mechanical-feeling keyboard when I write, in particular.
01:32:25.000So you have to just understand the spacing of it, but it's almost like they're preparing you for typing on a glass screen the same way you type on your iPhone.
01:34:41.000I want it to be a computer and I want to just do what I'd like it to do.
01:34:44.000I don't need to hear like, okay, you know, the sunlight today is really beautiful, but I'd watch out, wear some sunscreen, unless I wanted that.
01:34:51.000I want that option, but I also want it to be neutral.
01:34:54.000So over time, I want an AI to learn what I dig and just kind of do that.
01:35:01.000Yeah, there should be an option for whether or not you want it to behave like a corny human.
01:35:38.000I could talk to John Lee Hooker everywhere you go.
01:35:40.000Yeah, you get linguists and language experts and mimics to all sit down and create a program so it can actually do impersonations off of inputting audio so it could actually become that person.
01:36:52.000The front and the back were not very good.
01:36:54.000Well, I wonder if they're adding that reverberation, that weird...
01:36:58.000If it thinks that's part of the audio, like the quality of the audio?
01:37:00.000I wonder if they're doing that on purpose.
01:37:02.000Because you're talking about the president.
01:37:04.000Can you do an audio version of the president and pretend like that?
01:37:07.000You might get in real trouble because that audio could be used.
01:37:11.000If he never actually said that about not doing business with North Korea, if they didn't make an obviously fake version, see if you find another person.
01:37:38.000The problem, too, on this, the way they have it set up, like if you and me did it today, they have specific sentences that we would need to read to hit the syllables, and I think they're taking speeches, and they probably tried to find the words as opposed to going directly into their computer program, which it was built for.
01:37:53.000The only issue though is it doesn't sound good.
01:37:56.000Those don't because they didn't actually have Obama reading specifically for them into their...
01:38:00.000They just took speeches probably and found the words that matter.
01:38:03.000Right, but even if they took speeches, it sounds so much shittier than the actual speech itself.
01:38:09.000My friend who showed it to me said he did it himself and got really surprised that he just typed a sentence in and was like, holy shit, that sounds like me.
01:38:17.000They're going to be able to have people saying all kinds of crazy things.
01:38:34.000And then that guy says, fuck him, and says some crazy shit about him, and the next thing you know...
01:38:37.000Do the reality TV show editing trick where it's just set off camera, and you show somebody's reaction to what they heard, and then you can send that to your friend and be like, look, they're fucking pissed at you, and then you start fights.
01:38:56.000As soon as someone gives the green light to put that on the Apple Store or the Google Play Store, someone's going to figure out a way to use that to make weird copies of people.
01:39:47.000They have some wonky-ass website where they're trying to pretend like they can control the digital voice that gets printed using their app.
01:40:24.000For now, for sure it's going to get better, and for sure they're not going to be able to control it.
01:40:29.000Once it's gotten to that stage, it's that crazy, I just think it's a matter of time before we have no idea what the fuck is real and what's not.
01:40:36.000But at that point, why not just hire an Obama impersonator?
01:41:02.000At the very bottom of the site, they had this little disclaimer agreement regarding biometrics, so I clicked it, and right here it's how we disclose biometric data.
01:41:09.000We may also disclose biometric data in the following circumstances, law enforcement agencies, including a warrant, etc., etc., etc.
01:42:07.000Mark Zuckerberg is to fucking hire Mossad to protect him in his mansion because he feels that Donald Trump's trying to assassinate him because he wants to be president.
01:42:29.000I think he stole it a little, but not so much as someone who might be in a band and they break up and they make a song that was kind of based on some riffs that someone was doing.
01:44:23.000Make a difference in your bank account, ho.
01:44:26.000Over the years, we have built a vibrant community and received valuable support and encouragement.
01:44:31.000However, due to the evolving landscape in our challenging industry, the online gaming community did not engage as much as we had hoped for.
01:44:42.000Profound development in the gaming industry has also led us to rethink our strategic priorities.
01:44:49.000We have thus made the decision to take a break and pause our services effective June 14, 2015. That's not a break, kids.
01:49:55.000Expensive CGI. Yeah, see, that's what I was saying.
01:49:58.000So maybe they used a body double to track the movements, and then they got overzealous when they went to give him six packs and pecs and delts.
01:50:04.000Just like they made the new Star Wars figurines are all jacked.
01:53:04.000But the rest of it, I mean, it looked very natural.
01:53:07.000What's really cool is that they, for a movie like Avatar, is that they can have something that's not a real thing.
01:53:12.000Like, what's really challenging is when you do a CGI of a real thing, like a wolf, or Game of Thrones does it with wolves, and they have to be real careful how they shoot it.
01:53:22.000Like, I Am Legend with Will Smith, they did it with lions, and it was kind of clunky.
01:53:35.000This is from Logan that They digitally did his face in almost all these action scenes, because I don't know whether he didn't do it or not, but this little piece just came out.
01:53:44.000I don't know if it just came out this week.
01:54:58.000Yeah, because you can't actually have the guy punch the guy.
01:55:02.000You can't actually have the guy shoot him first, you know, and he absorbs the bullet and keeps going and cuts the guy's head off with his claws.
01:55:10.000But they could have done something along those lines.
01:55:14.000They choreographed it like they would choreograph a fight scene in a Six Million Dollar Man episode.
01:55:55.000Like when fucking Winter Soldier gets hit and he like slides backwards.
01:55:58.000You know, there's always that thing where a guy gets hit and he slides backwards and the pavement gets torn up and he's like holding his stance.
01:56:20.000So when she gets hit, she knows what it looks like when you get hit.
01:56:25.000But a certain way or a certain angle or whatever.
01:56:28.000And not saying that she's like, the best, best, but just as an example of somebody who actually does make contact or has had experience in that.
01:56:35.000The reactions are a little bit more believable.
01:56:38.000And also they're probably more willing to let people get closer.
01:58:44.000So you just need to create efficiency.
01:58:47.000You know, all it is is just like lethal efficiency with a kiss of artistry.
01:58:53.000And there's a uniformity in John Wick's personality that is so, so samurai that you believe that he could do all this and not be affected by killing all these people.
01:59:38.000If anything, even if you like that type of stuff, or if you don't like that stuff, just watch a scene, look at the artistry of the choreography, think about how old he is now, Hardy Train, and then try to have someone who's sitting on a couch going, I can't lose, I can't lose 30 pounds.
02:05:40.000Probably since they're like late teens.
02:05:42.000See, that's what every long-term smoker, they hear that story.
02:05:45.000They go, as long as I just know when to jump off this ride, I'm gonna be okay.
02:05:50.000Remember those Bugs Bunny movies where a plane was about to crash, and right before the plane hit the ground, Bugs Bunny would just hop off?
02:08:34.000Whether or not you have high cholesterol has to do with your lifestyle, if you're sedentary, whether or not you're eating a lot of sugar and carbs.
02:08:43.000So this is something that I posted earlier today.
02:08:46.000When people eat saturated fat, the risk of stroke drops.
02:08:50.000If they're also avoiding refined carbohydrates, their triglycerides also come down.
02:08:56.000So what they're saying is that when people eat saturated fat in conjunction with eating a lot of refined carbohydrates like white flour and sugar, it's not good for you at all.
02:09:09.000So that saturated fat is bad is the wrong culprit.
02:09:13.000Like saturated fat might be bad for you if you had refined carbohydrates because you're just fucking your whole system up.
02:09:20.000But, if you can remove the refined carbohydrates, saturated fat consumers have a lower risk of stroke, and their triglycerides come down too.
02:09:29.000You actually get healthier by eating saturated fat without carbohydrates.
02:09:45.000It's only true in combination, but you extract the one that we know to be bad because there's many, many studies right now showing that low carbohydrate diets are beneficial for a bunch of different health benefits.
02:09:54.000So when you take out these refined carbohydrates, it turns out the saturated fat is good for you.
02:10:00.000Haven't we known, though, for a while, I mean, carbs, like refined carbs, are not good.
02:10:04.000I mean, I look at it like- We did, but we didn't know how bad they were.
02:10:26.000That thing was widely criticized by scientists.
02:10:28.000That was the American Heart Association who wrote that.
02:10:31.000And all these scientists got together and Onnit actually published an article about it where we sent, essentially, the American Heart Association is kind of whack.
02:12:20.000The issue is in the dehydration, rehydration process, it's so different than with hemp, where you're essentially just getting the plant fiber, grinding it down to a fine powder, and then you eat it.
02:14:33.000That gallatin's weird because there's a lot of people that fly fish in that gallatin river, but almost everybody releases the fish that they catch.
02:14:45.000Yeah, it's more like the sportsman take on it rather than the eating.
02:14:49.000You're just tricking this fish and sticking a hook in its head and then you're pulling it to shore and then letting it go.
02:14:55.000Like how many times if this is like a stream where a lot of people on this river, if a lot of people fly fish, what are the odds that a fish gets caught and released like several times in its life?
02:15:09.000Man, that would be something to ask a stochastician.
02:16:19.000I mean, some things are gonna happen, but I do think that it's an interesting thing because I was vegan for like seven years and now I'm not...
02:16:26.000Do you get people mad at you because of that?
02:16:28.000You know, I've gotten some people like, I thought you were vegetarian or I thought you were vegan.
02:16:32.000I thought you opened Yeah, I thought you cared.
02:16:34.000But the thing is, I do care, and I'm pretty particular about the sources of my protein.
02:16:40.000But I am excited about this idea, because it poses an interesting question to someone who's choosing to be vegan for ethical reasons, or health reasons, or both.
02:16:54.000If meat was able to be grown, It's saying that you liked meat before you became one.
02:17:00.000I like the flavor, but I don't like the ethical.
02:18:01.000All this confusion about whether or not red meat is bad for you.
02:18:04.000Because a lot of these studies that show that there's a direct correlation between red meat and heart attacks, what they don't do is differentiate what kind of red meat.
02:18:13.000They don't make a differentiation between red meat that's grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle that's very healthy, or bison.
02:18:21.000Versus a fast food burger with a white bread bun and french fries and a soda with all sorts of sugar in it.
02:18:29.000Because of the fact that people eat red meat on a daily basis, they don't take into consideration what they eat that red meat with.
02:18:36.000And there's a giant difference between eating a piece of grass-fed meat with vegetables and a glass of water, maybe a yam.
02:19:05.000Because the correlation between red meat and cancer, you could say, maybe, maybe, but not the way you guys showed it.
02:19:12.000The way you guys showed it is just eating red meat with a bunch of other shit versus eating red meat and living a healthy life and eating with vegetables and having what you would call a balanced diet.
02:20:57.000You get a lot of fat, and it's just, like, cooked in there, and you get a fucking nice, dark surface on the outside, and you slice in, it's red in the middle, and you get a hunk of fat in your mouth.
02:22:28.000Yeah, you know, I mean just because like well just an efficiency I mean, you know get rid of the empathy the emotional thing but like even just for efficiency's sake.
02:22:37.000How about this saving the environment from methane?
02:22:50.000A dude online sent me a photo from his house in Long Island, and he was saying that Long Island is just infested with deer, and that they're literally going in and giving these deer operations.
02:26:17.000Apparently, the genetic diversity of the mountain lions is threatened by the 101, because there's mountain lions on the ocean side, and they're breeding too much with the mountain lions over there.
02:26:26.000And it's too hard for them to get across the 101 to find all the mountain lions on this side, as you go deep into Simi Valley and those areas.
02:26:35.000So apparently, they're trying to figure out some way to mitigate that, and one of the best ideas is this really wide strip of land, so these things feel comfortable.
02:26:53.000I mean, it's like, you know, if we have enough shit, humans already, like, even some of us, I mean, minus mental problems, mental issues, it's like, that's, we have so much, it's just, it's crazy.
02:27:07.000Even when I was like, I mean, I was never like destitute, but I was definitely very, very poor and wasn't sure if I would make rent or had to borrow a lot of money for a few years and things like that.
02:27:18.000But you just realize how much you have.
02:29:25.000But meanwhile, those microbes are going to get eaten by fish, and those fish are going to become huge, and they're going to start thinking through, and they go, I'm tired of these motherfuckers coming in and killing us.
02:29:34.000We've got to go out there and kill them.
02:30:02.000Did you see, I posted this thing on Instagram a couple days ago that I saw from Nature is Metal, the Instagram account, and it's a cuttlefish.
02:30:10.000Have you ever seen how a cuttlefish jacks other fish?
02:31:01.000I mean, nature is like way more advanced than we'll ever.
02:31:04.000I mean, well, we are nature, but it's just like, from our point of view, looking at nature, which is just like an evolution of, you know, it's molecular evolution.
02:31:13.000Meanwhile, the octopus is like, what the fuck are you complaining about, dude?
02:34:11.000That's why, you know, like when people talk about doing DMT or, you know, or even ketamine, you know, like the kind of dissociative intelligences that people are, intelligences being dissociative is like that they feel around them like almost an insect-like intelligence.
02:34:28.000That's why I think like everything is just pure consciousness.
02:34:30.000It's just everything is consciousness.
02:34:38.000I mean, as far as we know, we're vibrating weird particles.
02:34:41.000We just don't have the senses to deal with whatever the fuck else is around.
02:34:46.000We have the senses to deal with all our biological needs, all of our imperatives, what we need to concentrate on in order to stay functional as a flesh bag.
02:38:49.000Yeah, when I first moved to New York, a friend of mine, a performance artist, took me to this experimental theater that was in a garage in Williamsburg, like, way back.
02:40:03.000Well, yeah, but his whole, like, con artist kind of vibe, whether he would have ascribed to it or not, but the fact that he was kind of conning a little bit, you know, the Campbell's soup can thing was a little bit of a con.
02:40:16.000A little bit, but people enjoyed looking at it, though.
02:40:19.000They did, but it started, it's kind of like, when I see it, I'm like, ah, it's a little bit of a con.
02:40:25.000And the factory idea is also a little bit of a con.
02:42:19.000I mean, that's my favorite art is like, one of my favorite moments in kind of discovering that was when I was going to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle.
02:42:31.000I think it was every Tuesday or Thursday, or maybe every Wednesday, one of the middle days, they would allow students to throw a concert in the theater, in the small poncho hall theater, and you could just sign up for it, and you could do whatever you wanted.
02:44:01.000That's when I started realizing that static, whether you're seeing visual static or audio static, after a while, you start to hallucinate, and you start to hear music in static.
02:44:11.000So if you hear, eventually, when you defocus, it's like those, you know those magic eye puzzles where you're supposed to hold your thumb up?
02:46:36.000Yeah, results may vary, but it's a sincerity.
02:46:40.000We all know, if we're watching other comics up there that we haven't seen before, you can tell pretty quick when it's coming from an honest place.
02:46:49.000You can tell they're nervous and they're kind of playing a cool front.
02:46:54.000You can tell that the jokes, the point of view is coming from an honest place.
02:46:58.000Well, it's also, I think we lost that with DJs.
02:47:04.000Like, when I was a kid, I would remember DJs playing songs, and there was, like, sincere appreciation for the songs they were playing, because they had picked this song.
02:47:12.000They really want you to dig this song.
02:47:13.000And you'd find a DJ that, like, you really enjoyed his show.
02:47:17.000Like, oh, he's gonna be on from 3 to 7. This guy's a shit.
02:54:03.000Like, you can steer, you can drive within certain parameters, but if the computer senses you're going off the rails, it'll fuckin' guide the car back.
02:54:11.000Well, you know, that's why it's so, there's such a demand for really old cars that have, like, tactile feedback.
02:54:20.000Like, if you buy a 1973 Porsche, which is only about, like, 150, 200 horsepower engine, if those things are in good shape, they're worth a fuckload of money now.
02:57:07.000Yeah it's like it's crazy and so it does uh it it definitely does um vector steering and vector power power power distribution so those things are gorgeous it can corner like a motherfucker and because the computer's monitoring traction all the time if to each wheel with an electric motor that has instantaneous torque you're able to steer the car with acceleration whoa so if you're coming around a corner Depending on the mode and the way that you're driving,
02:57:35.000you can actually push the car around the corner with the wheels using the input from the steering wheel.
02:57:41.000So you're directional steering but also vectral steering at the same time.
02:59:27.000I'm gonna say 150. Yeah, maybe not even, right?
02:59:29.000Yeah, 140. What did you think about, like, during the hurricane in Florida, Tesla released a bunch of these cars that had restrictions on the amount of distance they could drive?
03:00:12.000I think as long as the battery system is modular, so that you can add or take away from it without huge manufacturing costs of changing the shape of the battery, which is what Tesla does, you can either elongate the body of the car and then add more packs, or you can shorten the body of the car,
03:00:52.000Instead of, like, say if you buy an engine, and it has 800 horsepower, and then there's another option, you could buy the V6, and that only has 350 horsepower.
03:01:13.000They've intentionally crippled some of their cars, and the other ones, they've given you an option to not cripple, but we want you to pay more.
