In this episode, the boys talk about the end of the world, the future, and H.G. Wells. They also talk about their favorite movies and TV shows from the 80s and 90s, and the weirdest things they thought were going to happen in the future.

Timestamps: 0:00 - What's your favorite sci-fi movie? 5:30 - What would you like? 6:15 - What do you think about the future? 7:20 - What are you looking forward to? 8:00 9:40 - Is the future going to be better than the past? 11:00s - What kind of utopia? 12:30s - Who are you most likely to have? 13:40s - Is there a better timeline? 15:10 - What is your favorite movie from HG Wells? 16:20s - How do you want to see the future in the 21st century? 17:00Solo? 18: What s your favorite superpower? 19:00-20s? 21: Is it a better than 20th century utopia ? 22:00 + 3:00 Is it possible? 26:00 -- What s the future coming in 2020?
00:02:56.000In Men Like Gods in 1923, Wells invites readers to a futuristic utopia that's essentially Earth after thousands of years of progress.
00:03:05.000In this alternate reality, people communicate exclusively with wireless systems that employ a kind of co-mingling of voicemail and email-like properties.
00:03:17.000For in Utopia, except by previous arrangement, people do not talk together on the telephone, he writes.
00:03:25.000A message is sent to the station of the district in which the recipient is known to be, and there it waits until he chooses to tap his accumulated messages.
00:04:03.000He also imagined forms of true entertainment.
00:04:05.000It says, in When the Sleeper Wakes from 1899, the protagonist rouses from two centuries of slumber to a dystopian London in which citizens used wondrous forms of technology like the audiobook, airplane,
00:04:21.000and television, yet suffer systematic oppression and social injustice.
00:05:22.000Well, I think that magic leap shit that you know that you've seen that new headset that they Are saying they're gonna eventually wind up selling you have like a hip pack and you wear these goggles.
00:05:31.000Mm-hmm, dude That seems like step one to me Yeah, Apple is putting all their money in AR instead of VR for that reason, right?
00:08:00.000There's even, I think, Levi's and Microsoft or Google teamed up, and they're trying to do a jacket, like a tech jacket, where you just look at your jacket and read text and stuff off the sleeve and stuff.
00:08:11.000Imagine having a shirt and going, like, today I want a purple shirt.
00:10:25.000Where where you could just have like instead of walking your shoes just roll, you know, like like kind of glide along glide.
00:10:32.000Yeah Isn't that what I was always goofing around about the aliens that what aliens are is what we imagine is us in the future And maybe that's what they really are.
00:10:42.000Maybe that they're time travelers because if you had to think like If you go back and look at ancient Like Australopithecus.
00:10:52.000You ever see like a depiction of Australopithecus?
00:10:56.000It's like this weird sort of half-human monkey things, like one of the first people.
00:11:01.000And if you go back and look at that, and then you look at a regular person today that maybe, you know, takes a spin class.
00:11:09.000You know, go to the one where he's standing up.
00:11:13.000There's some pictures of what they think they would have looked like.
00:11:16.000It's weird because there is people that look kind of like these people.
00:13:32.000The food thing makes the most sense because we are probably gonna run out of food and having like the future of food is gonna be really weird where it's just gonna be like almost like a Brick like a vitamin.
00:13:44.000You know, there's Yeah, man, right the future of food Like when they're you know, there was some article a real recent like I think maybe even today, that was talking about their progress in synthetic meat.
00:14:01.000To be able to just make meat in a laboratory.
00:15:34.000They just engineer it with the right bacteria so it could stay on the shelf indefinitely.
00:15:39.000I remember making a mistake that the first time the grocery store had these things called, I don't, complete meals?
00:15:44.000I don't know what the fuck it's called, but it's like meat, like biscuits and gravy, but not in the cold section, not in the hot section, and you barely had to heat it up.
00:15:52.000It was just like kind of ready-to-go meals.
00:15:54.000Me and my friend ate it, but I think we both got sick as fuck.
00:16:49.000If you go to Starbucks, sometimes if you're trying to not take in too much sugar or something like that, you look at all that stuff and you're like, God damn it, there's got to be something here for me.
00:17:43.000Every time I get a coffee bean, though, when you get used to a certain taste of coffee, even if the coffee's better, it's really hard to go, like, that's not an iced coffee.
00:17:51.000In my head, an iced coffee is Starbucks iced coffee.
00:17:53.000This is just, like, some other bullshit.
00:17:55.000Like, I went to Denny's the other day.
00:17:57.000Maybe the best coffee I've had in a long time.
00:23:44.000Canadians are so nice, you don't believe them.
00:23:46.000They would record no effects on their sounds, on their guitar.
00:23:52.000For instance, no distortion, no delay.
00:23:54.000They would record literally putting the guitar right into this board, kind of, and it records this real weird electronic sound that you could manipulate completely in Pro Tools later, changing everything about it.
00:24:05.000They were like one of the first bands that got popular doing that, I think.
00:24:08.000And so that's sort of like, I'm sure traditional musicians had a big problem with it.
00:24:12.000Isn't Nickelback the band that every single one of their songs sound exactly the same, like whiny?
00:24:55.000Put on some headphones and listen to a song.
00:25:00.000That was created by the first wave of British superstars that came to America and they're on acid and they're saying about Lucy in the sky with diamonds and it's amazing.
00:27:33.000This is my perspective in 2018. I think the more we can relax that, we will have less conflict, interpersonal conflict, which often fuels extra-personal conflict.
00:29:23.000Whole set up in his house with these crazy speakers that are like stupid expensive and he has this amazing record collection and he'll just sit there and play his records.
00:29:32.000And he does a radio show, I believe it's once a week, is it once a week?
00:29:37.000He does a radio show once a week where he picks the songs and he plays the music.
00:31:16.000But when you meet him, maybe it's because I'm meeting him later in his life when he's Mellowed and matured, but he is one of the most fascinating guys I've ever talked to.
00:31:27.000One of the most absolutely unique individuals.
00:32:06.000One of the main podcasts that he did that really, like, fucking blew my mind was him describing all this travel that he does on Ari's show.
00:32:18.000Because, you know, Ari's a travel nut, too.
00:32:19.000So the two of them together, it's like, wow.
00:32:23.000I think he probably was one of the inspirations, or at least helped fuel the inspiration that Ari had when he already took off for like four months.
00:32:32.000I didn't know he was on Ari's podcast.
00:34:48.000He felt like he had lived a whole life like for months a whole different life for months and then came back from that trip Like it just happened he realized oh my god, no, I just took salvia They really got rid of salvia fast,
00:35:07.000Remember when that was legal, you just buy it online, and then within like a year, they just kind of took care of salvia.
00:35:35.000Salvia used to be for sale at head shops everywhere, and it was one of the most blow-out-of-your-fucking-mind psychedelics you could ever encounter.
00:36:00.000I wonder if it shows what states they will ship to, or if you try to buy it, it tells you, like, hey, this is illegal.
00:36:07.000It says it's legal in most parts of the world, including the United States.
00:36:10.000Here's the big problem with all these things.
00:36:13.000I think all these things could be handled way better than they have been.
00:36:16.000So people are going buck wild with them.
00:36:19.000Whether it's mushrooms or whether it's LSD or anything, people left these important compounds in the hands of people that were willing to take them illegally.
00:36:30.000And that's where most of our data is coming from.
00:36:34.000Because they couldn't do any tests on anything.
00:36:36.000Everything was just schedule one, schedule one.
00:36:40.000But the people that tested it, they're all, you know, people willing to take mushrooms.
00:36:45.000It's a lot of people that would just white knuckle that shit to death.
00:36:49.000Me included at various times in my life.
00:36:52.000You tried to bring me mushrooms, I'd white-knuckle myself to death.
00:36:55.000So it was the people, the only sampling size that we have from the benefits, the people that were wild enough to do it.
00:37:01.000Like, what if we had actual scientists studying this shit, going, hey, maybe if we took this stuff in, like, low doses, we could evolve quicker.
00:37:08.000Like, this really might be something, there might be something legitimate to the idea that stoned ape theory is that humans discovered psilocybin mushrooms, and that's why the brain grew Like, double its size over a period of two million years.
00:38:47.000In the chair across from me in reality.
00:38:50.000That's when they started pulling me back into this existence.
00:38:53.000But what they didn't know was that I couldn't breathe air anymore.
00:38:57.000I'd forgotten how after breathing underwater for so long.
00:39:01.000I had to relearn the experience of breathing.
00:39:06.000And he says, man, that was a good trip.
00:39:07.000It looked hellish if you watched the video, but what's important to understand is that the That the hellish part was not me wanting to leave my friends, family, and life in the lake.
00:39:17.000It was just adjusting back to this reality that hurt.
00:39:20.000But the months or years I was living there were some of the most beautiful and peaceful of my life.
00:40:36.000This is something long, so I think probably people, because this is something you gotta, it only works visually, but if you see it visually, it's fascinating.
00:40:45.000So it's Ari Shafir on Salvia, and it's on Brian's, is it on yours?
00:40:59.000Salve is why I never did DMT, because I had too many, like, okay, I'm too old for this, I'm gonna break my brain moments that I'm like, I don't need to do anymore.
00:41:07.000Yeah, there's some weird, weird drugs out there.
00:41:13.000And part of the problem with, like, legal definitions...
00:41:17.000For like what is and isn't legal is like it's it's kind of weird and blurry like there was some stuff called 5-MeO dimethyltryptamine which is the most potent form of DMT and up until like the year 2000 and like you'd be able to order it online They would just send it to you.
00:41:35.000It's legal just says not for human consumption.
00:41:37.000They're like, I don't know what you're doing with it But here it is pure And you'd be able to get enough to blast yourself in the universe every day of your life until you're dead for like 50 bucks.
00:41:51.000It was the Wild West because people didn't know what it was yet.
00:41:54.000Because they had made a distinction that NN-dimethyltryptamine, which is the one that gives you all the visual hallucinations, that that was more illegal.
00:42:21.000Dude, there's probably a shitload of those in the Amazon.
00:42:23.000There's probably a shitload of things that have never been discovered, and you eat some fruit, and you fucking go blast off into the center of the universe.
00:42:36.000If we all decided, alright, we're gonna leave, let's have humans live everywhere except one really big spot.
00:42:45.000No people can live in this one really big spot.
00:42:48.000We gotta manage other kind of ecosystems in a more hands-off sort of a way, because we're just so deep, except for like the Congo and places like that.
00:42:58.000But if there was like one country where everybody agreed, Alright, let's just leave this, leave this spot alone.
00:43:44.000Just leave all that shit alone who knows what kind of weird symbiotic relationships we could have with plants That might have easily been how they came up with ayahuasca in the first place They're probably eating a bunch of weird fucking plants and all those plants were talking with all those other plants And I'm like listen,
00:44:04.000I know I know where we can get this shit bumping way quicker We got to get these monkey people To figure out how to eat these mushrooms and turn into regular people.
00:44:17.000Imagine if that's really what it was all along, just grasses and leaves communicating to us through some non-verbal language and giving us this idea of how to do certain things.
00:44:31.000And all these things are all just designed to get us to eat the mushrooms.
00:44:34.000We eat the mushrooms, get to the point where we accelerate, to the point where we have enough brain power and enough people combined interacting with each other and sharing information that we can build artificial life.
00:45:22.000They can alter DNA. It's very complicated, and I'm doing a terrible job describing it.
00:45:29.000What it is, essentially, for a dumb person like me, really super smart people have figured out a way to change biology.
00:45:37.000They might be able to turn genes on and off, like for autism, for Alzheimer's.
00:45:43.000Like weird, weird genes that create birth defects or various illnesses that we've been able to figure out how to target, that we identify rather, they might be able to target those things.
00:45:55.000They'll shut things off, turn things on.
00:45:59.000And I think there was an article really recently saying that the original CRISPR is now even out of date and the new one is far superior.
00:47:54.000There's this island that only birds can get onto.
00:47:58.000And on this island is a tree that has these seeds.
00:48:02.000That are sticky seeds, so they get stuck onto the birds, and when the birds travel from island to island, they kind of drop them off or whatever.
00:48:38.000Maybe evolution is like a word that's so under fire with a lot of people.
00:48:45.000Maybe it's because of the ramifications of it.
00:48:51.000That it's that we're not even we're not even gonna be the final thing it's gonna be something like where did darwin go that just how he found out about darwin's galapagos is where he went the first time imagine going there for the first time and seeing all sorts of crazy but you know that you know what's really up people have gone there and they go there with in their shoes and seeds from their shoes get into the galapagos island and non-native plants start growing And I identify that it comes from,
00:49:17.000literally from people walking through fields near their house and wherever the fuck they live.
00:49:22.000And then going to the Galapagos and walking around.
00:49:24.000And that island has been so isolated that it's this delicate immune system that they have to monitor.
00:49:32.000Just the crack in your shoe could have a seat in it.
00:49:35.000Yeah, you know, there's a lot of those islands.
00:49:53.000We used to bring goats to islands, and they would let the goats off so the goats could populate the island, and then they would have things to eat when they would come back, because goats eat everything.
00:50:59.000They have, like, services where companies have trained goats, and they bring them to your farm or wherever the fuck you want, and they just let these goats loot, and it just, like, eats everything.
00:51:09.000They shit all over the place, they eat all over the place, and they just keep going.
00:52:14.000Yeah, so it is about that very island.
00:52:16.000It's about Galapagos, and it's about these goats that they just decided at a certain point in time that you have to control the populations of them or they're going to devastate everything else.
00:54:38.000He still approved it and then released it.
00:54:40.000Yeah, and then he made a thumbnail where it looked like he posed for like photos with the guy in the background.
00:54:45.000It's very, you know, this was a person and and they're like laughing right next to this body, you know, it's But I don't know that disturbs the shit out of us, right?
00:54:54.000Like making like joking around you joke around But you can't joke around near a dead guy Well, suicide's not funny.
00:57:51.000That that way was like accepted in 1930. All this new stuff, like this Magic Leap, these headsets, all these different things that we're doing...
00:58:06.000I think they're gonna I think we're in the middle of this so it doesn't it's not registering It's how fucking ridiculous it is and how insane it is I think we're just so caught up in the frothy waves of how crazy all this new shit is That we're not we're not really paying attention enough This is this is happening way quicker than I thought it was going to I Think we're going to have flying cars by now though?
00:59:52.000I think it would be funny to have the first version now.
00:59:54.000Early version, before they had massage chairs, they might have had massage chairs at the same time, but they had this thing that you would grab a hold of.
01:00:04.000It had like handles on the side and it did like shiatsu.
01:02:33.000Like, in terms of, like, retired heavyweight champions, there was a trend that existed, you know, where someone would retire, and then they would, you know, they wouldn't keep their form.
01:03:35.000This might be just a personal trainer, not a boxing person, but I'm looking in the background and I feel like I see boxing and stuff on the wall.
01:08:10.000I heard a lot of people were a little worried about the over-under for the Holly Holm cyborg fight being only one and a half, I think, was the over-under.
01:08:19.000Everybody thought it probably was going to go away longer.
01:10:52.000Yeah, and apparently there's, like, a guy who wrote a book, a guy who was a bodyguard or something or another for someone in the music business back then, claimed that that was, he wrote a book about this and claims that's what happened, that Jimi Hendrix's girlfriend at the time jumped off a building,
01:11:10.000she committed suicide, and they're like, no, they threw that girl off a building.
01:13:42.000Like he was the drummer for Nirvana and then totally created the Foo Fighters right after Nirvana and it's one of the best bands ever, you know?
01:13:51.000And he's now not even playing drums anymore.
01:18:16.000As fictional local TV host, the duo made jokes about the parade's marching bands, flower-covered floats, and inaccurate historical uniforms.
01:23:06.000They have that OnStar thing where you could actually have calls, make phone calls with whatever it is on the other line.
01:23:15.000You could say, hey, can you book me a reservation at a restaurant?
01:23:19.000They're also monitoring, like, how fast your car is going.
01:23:22.000They're monitoring, like, certain metrics, you know, certain things they can figure out, like, what happened when you were causing an accident.
01:23:33.000Like, if they could track you on GPS. And at a certain point in time, they're going to be like, why can't we just film them?
01:23:40.000We're just gonna film you all the time inside your car and like if you want to drive a Cadillac don't have any fucking orgies in it because Because we have to film you because otherwise we're never gonna know what the fuck you did to cause this car accident We don't want to get sued Oldsmobile is that Oldsmobile has the camera So like if you're doing the lane departure setting,
01:23:58.000it detects if you're not paying attention So then by tracking your face.
01:24:04.000So there's a camera in I think it's Oldsmobile's now.
01:24:07.000Wow Well, that's sort of like the iPhone X or X, right?
01:29:23.000I mean, if the batteries are going to start failing because it can't...
01:29:27.000You know the power is all fucked up in a battery.
01:29:30.000But to deny that they know that the throttling down of performance of the phone is not going to influence people into deciding to buy a new phone is ridiculous.
01:30:48.000It's not going to be like the Brian and Joe Corporation.
01:30:50.000I mean, you need something with massive resources and a shit-fucked ton of people to be able to put together the cash to make an iPhone X. I mean, you've got to hire a lot of fucking people to make this thing right.
01:31:06.000You gotta hire wizards and sorcerers and goddamn silicone geniuses and people who know how to get lithium-ion batteries thinner than your fucking fingernail in these things.
01:31:20.000Not thinner than your fingernail, right?
01:31:37.000If you ever could flatten out a potato chip?
01:31:40.000It's a little thicker than that, actually.
01:31:42.000What's crazy, though, is that the phone before this, iPhone 7 Plus S, whatever the fuck it was, when I downloaded the new operating system on it, it was crashy, it was buggy, it fucked up all the time.
01:31:55.000But then when I got the iPhone X, the same operating system, it worked way better.
01:31:59.000So that's not anything to do with the battery.
01:32:02.000That's just because they built an operating system around this processor, and this screen, and all the components on this, and then they're emulating it for all the other phones, or whatever they're doing.
01:32:13.000It's almost like the only way to be truly awesome at something is just to be greedy, too.
01:32:20.000It's like, we've got to fuel this motherfucker, okay?
01:32:23.000This is projected sales, and we can get that up at about 20%, and this is how we're going to do it.
01:32:29.000They had dark secret meetings where they just had candles, went into the fucking basement, and they were going to slow down the old phones.
01:32:59.000I've watched, I think, one episode of the new season, which was the video game episode, but the guy was in the lifelike video game that was remarkably similar to Ari Shafir's Salvia Divinorum trip.
01:33:10.000Oh, there's no new season as of like two days ago.
01:33:31.000Yeah, the lady, she was trapped in a bunker for 15 years in a religious cult and she gets out and she's living in New York City and she doesn't know what the fuck's going on.
01:34:15.000Black Mirror did a subject that I talked about, too, but it was just because a lot of people were talking about potential future technologies like this video game thing where they put something in the back of your head, like the Matrix, and plug you into some artificial experience that's indistinguishable.
01:34:32.000I've talked about that a hundred times, just from being high and thinking about what are they going to be able to do next that's crazier than Duncan Trussell when he had that HTC Vive.
01:36:11.000They're a giant part of what made people at this level, in terms of our understanding of world events, a giant part leading to 2017. If you look at the history of human beings, understanding the reality of a detailed intellectual Understanding of the reality of certain current world events compiled in a daily resource.
01:36:41.000It offered people super high-level information from uber-smart people on a regular basis.
01:36:51.000And to dismiss that and say that that's just as good as any other paper, no, no, no, it's a pursuit.
01:36:57.000They were in a pursuit for excellence In information.
01:37:02.000Now, whether or not they made some mistakes, I criticized them for that Conor McGregor weird thing that they said his face was covered in blood and he was...
01:39:43.000North Korea just made a speech recently where they were actually open to high-level talks and it was way more passive and less threatening.
01:39:53.000And people like this crazy motherfucker might realize Trump is a crazy motherfucker, too, who actually runs the U.S. And unlike Obama, who would probably never consider attacking North Korea, he's looking at Trump.
01:40:10.000He's old as fuck, he's been a gangster his whole life, and now he just took over the country.
01:40:15.000And he let the military guys do whatever the fuck they want to do.
01:40:18.000You don't think there's a high possibility that some of those spaceships from Nevada might come out of a hole in the ground and go rocketing towards North Korea in 20 minutes and let loose some crazy new bombs that you haven't even heard of yet?
01:42:04.000And they did it like right at dusk, right as the sun was setting.
01:42:08.000I think they thought they could get away with it.
01:42:10.000They could sneak it in there before we could see it.
01:42:12.000It's it's weird that they do that like there was a lot of car accidents when that happened because Everyone thought what the fuck were we getting attacked?
01:42:19.000It's weird that they don't like you know how your phone goes off if Pablo gets kidnapped by his stepdad, you know you have that But they won't say hey, there's gonna be a big rocket launch.
01:43:26.000What if your calculations are off like, you know, sometimes people are saying they get up to the Tesla and the door handle doesn't open up automatically and then you don't even have a door handle?
01:49:31.000Kimball's probably the real Elon Musk.
01:49:33.000He's a super genius that exists in the lotus position and floats in midair in some wheat silo somewhere in New Hampshire and they go visit him a couple of times a month.
01:51:54.000I think it's sort of a similar topic as District 9. It's crazy that a guy like Elon Musk, some super duper fucking genius, would come out of that spot.
01:52:58.000I remember them actually telling this story on here.
01:53:00.000I think they shot the lion part here in LA. The reason why I ask is they have places in South Africa where they let the lions loose or not.
01:53:08.000Like, they know when to let them loose.
01:57:10.000And I think the combination of those two things, the combination of taking a month off and then trying some new different stuff, there's different stuff.
02:00:03.000Isn't it interesting, too, that we've all just accepted that we have to put chemicals on certain parts of our body in order not to smell after you've been moving around for too long?
02:02:09.000It could be something called synthol that some bodybuilders engage in and what it does.
02:02:15.000They think it helps them balance out areas of their body that aren't big enough.
02:02:21.000And it's real weird because there's a ton of videos of people taking, you know the videos, of people putting synthol on their muscles and dancing around.
02:02:30.000That's not, that's just him looking buff.
02:02:33.000That doesn't look anything nearly as bad.
02:02:36.000We're looking at Carrot Top where he can see his dick root.
02:02:40.000It goes, the photo goes all the way down to what I like to call.
02:03:49.000But what doesn't make sense is the people would stick the oil in their arms and they would create water balloons where their muscles should be.
02:06:01.000We had a family dinner for my girlfriend the other day and I come in and they're cupping.
02:06:06.000They're doing that thing where they puncture a little hole and then they put these glasses and they pretty much suck the bad blood out of you.
02:06:14.000So I walk in and there's just blood everywhere and towels and shit like that.
02:06:21.000We've talked about this before, right?
02:06:23.000It's supposed to accelerate blood flow to the area, like pulls the tissue, the skin away from it, and accelerates blood flow?
02:06:30.000Sometimes the blood comes out as gel, which is weird.
02:06:34.000What I didn't know is, because I posted a video of it while they were doing it, a lot of people were saying that cupping's bad for you, and then I did research.
02:07:58.000What made sense to me is that you would kind of like create damage, which is why all that blood exists, and that maybe that it'd be like almost like a PRP sort of a thing, where all that extra blood that you've created from that area would go and help the blood flow to the part that's injured,
02:08:18.000You never know, man, because you can't say that people that are in the Olympics don't ever do anything stupid, because they definitely would do something stupid.
02:08:26.000Someone could talk to me into doing a bunch of shit.
02:08:28.000Sometimes, like, the psychological edge in believing that there's something that's going to work really good will be just enough to get a few people to do it.
02:08:58.000You know, I mean, the only way you find out if stuff like this works, which is like a really unconventional therapy, is you got to try it.
02:09:07.000If all those super genius type guys that are training these Olympic athletes and getting them to peak performance and what could potentially be worth millions and millions of dollars in sponsorship money if they win the gold medal, if they're having these people get all cupped up, there's probably something to it.
02:10:00.000You're making it all bleed in there so it flows everything out of there and heals it up quicker.
02:10:04.000It kind of makes sense to a dummy like me.
02:10:06.000Like, I don't know anything about how the actual body functions in terms of like how things heal and whether or not it would accelerate or not, but...
02:10:22.000Well, it's like people that wanted to deny the benefits of cryotherapy.
02:10:27.000Before, like, some papers came out, there was a lot of people poo-pooing, and partly for good reason.
02:10:33.000It's because a lot of the people that were running these cryotherapy sites got overzealous in their claims.
02:10:38.000They got real overzealous in their claims of how much weight you can lose, how much better you can look, all these different things that may or may not be true when it comes to cryotherapy, especially in the way they described it.
02:10:51.000But what can't be denied is the way it makes you feel.
02:14:54.000You know, like having a robot be your home base, like computer.
02:15:00.000I don't know like these Alexas and like Apple's about to release theirs and Google has released theirs and Have you seen the autonomous robots that monitor parking lots?
02:15:10.000Yeah, I tweeted it I think yesterday But definitely robots we're gonna give up our security and all our privacy at the same time We're going to be fine, because the robot's going to be watching us.
02:18:19.000As long as this is password secure and encrypted, they allowed to have the fire detector in the corner double as a video camera that records everything in the room at all times.
02:18:52.000I'm more nervous every year when it comes to technology, because I'm not nervous in the way that I think it's totally 100% negative, but nervous in the way, like, it just seems to me that we might be in the middle of something and not be paying attention.
02:19:04.000Like, that it's happening so fucking fast that we're caught up in it, and it's just this wild wave of change, and I'm just trying to make sense of it while it's happening.
02:19:14.000But then there's something about, like, numbers.
02:19:16.000Like, I used to think that saying, like, the year 2017, it's stupid.
02:20:12.000I started listening to the audiobook of Sapiens, and I feel like that's what it's getting to, that question you're asking.
02:20:18.000The first couple chapters are leading up to, he says it over and over again, thousands of years from now, maybe 2,000 is what it's saying, that the human race won't be, or human beings won't be what we are today.
02:22:22.000Anytime anything, especially back when there was no media, anytime anything catastrophic happened in your area, you thought that was going to be the end.
02:22:40.000When you just think about hundreds of thousands of years, it seems like a long ass time.
02:22:45.000But it's not when you talk about the shape of human beings and what's happened in that amount of time, especially in the last few hundred or few thousand years.
02:23:23.000Then all of a sudden, one 10,000 year period and you have everything.
02:23:27.000You got the pyramids, you got space travel, you've got the internet, you got video, photography, 3D printers.
02:23:36.000Every time you say something like this, this pops in my head, the end of Gangs of New York, where it shows that montage of the 100 years or so of New York changing.
02:23:45.000And I just think about it, that's only 100 years that New York changed from this crazy nothingness, even though it's really big then, to like tons of skyscrapers and bridges and all of what it is today.
02:23:57.000And it wasn't anything close to that back then, and that's like 100 years.
02:24:58.000Yeah, unfortunately the people are Straddled down by the echoes of the emigrants that were their great-grandparents and their grandparents and their struggle that they had to get from Europe Over to America.
02:25:13.000This is my thought because this is my own family.
02:25:15.000I'm talking about I feel like a lot of the Italian immigrants with my grandfather He came over When he was a boy, his family, and on both my mom's and my dad's side, they all came over from Europe, either from Ireland or from Italy.
02:25:30.000They were all, like, really aggressive, risk-taking people, you know?
02:25:34.000And those are the people that built that whole area, which is just, when you think about, like, what a...
02:25:41.000Crazy accomplishment it is to build this gigantic city from all these immigrants that came over from Europe, you know, from 1700, whatever it is, on just constructing all these incredible buildings.
02:25:53.000It's a very, very bizarre accomplishment.
02:25:56.000But that same kind of energy that brought those people over there in the first place would create a lot of interpersonal conflict and a lot of aggression.
02:26:05.000I don't know if New York's totally gotten past that.
02:26:08.000I think they have more now than ever before.
02:26:10.000I was reading something about the crime rate, that New York's crime rate is the lowest it's been in a long-ass time.
02:26:17.000I think we're at the highest right now, right?
02:26:44.000Police chases are fucking terrifying, because you don't want the cops to just let someone run away, or you don't want the cops to slam into you while they're chasing some guy.
02:28:34.000No, but I mean, if you have crops in your backyard, say, say if you're growing tomatoes, and you decide to water it with ocean water, would that be a bad idea?
02:30:21.000Well, let's explain to everybody what you're talking about.
02:30:24.000So we do the Kill Tony show, and Jeremiah Watkins and Tony Hinchcliffe kind of copied the Tom Zegura formula, but backwards.
02:30:33.000To see how much weight they can gain in a month.
02:30:36.000Tony did the, like, working out and trying to gain muscle weight, where Jeremiah just ate like shit for 30 days and gained 30 pounds in 30 days, where Tony only gained 2.5 pounds, I think it was.
02:30:55.000Yeah, 30 pounds to Tony Hinchcliffe, who gained just over 3 pounds.
02:30:59.000Jeremiah will now get to host Kill Tony's show and keep his hair.
02:31:02.000Yeah, the bullshit was the bet, though.
02:31:03.000And one of the most funniest nights I've had in a long time was you calling out Tony about how it's not fair if Jeremiah lost, he had to shave his head.
02:32:27.000Do you remember I was saying that and everybody was dying laughing?
02:32:30.000The reason why everybody was dying laughing is because they knew I was just fucking with him.
02:32:33.000I was like, it was his idea, which is so weird.
02:32:37.000No, but the idea was you would have to go on stage, and then once you're on stage, you have to put lipstick on, or we would decide that you had to have it on when you walked out to the crowd.
02:32:49.000And then you could take it off after 15 minutes.
02:32:51.000So if you were doing a headliner set somewhere, and you're doing an hour, for the first 15 minutes, you're wearing makeup.
02:32:56.000So I said, but here, the thing about that beautiful red lipstick is that it would make you concentrate On a joke about why the fuck you were willing to make a bet, how you lost the bet, and then rationalize away about nothing wrong.
02:33:14.000How come chapstick's okay, but lipstick ain't?
02:33:17.000How come girls get to wear lipstick, bro?
02:35:26.000It was just straight, raw mental toughness and a resolve that...
02:35:33.000I mean, you think about him, you think about him as a comedian, a funny guy, a thoughtful guy, and he had that odd thing that he was doing where he was wearing women's clothes and all that stuff.
02:38:58.000He also did all these marathons in South Africa where the weather was a bit hotter than it would be in the UK. Yeah, listen to the Antwerp music and ducking crocodiles.
02:41:14.000Step one is the Google Pixel earbuds that let you listen to someone speak Spanish in real time translated to English.
02:41:20.000Step two is they figure out some sort of a universal code that the plant world is willing to accept.
02:41:25.000And we start communicating back and forth with the plant world.
02:41:28.000Step three, they develop a headset, some sort of a neural interface with a human being when they put this thing on and you go out into the forest and you communicate with the trees.
02:42:00.000Like, the smell of them getting consumed by another animal will change the way they taste.
02:42:04.000Like, that was the case with the Keisha bush and giraffes.
02:42:09.000They found out giraffes that were eating these acacia bushes upwind, when they would eat them, the smell of them consuming them would come downwind and it would change the flavor profile of all these other trees.
02:42:24.000They would turn nasty tasting to avoid the giraffes from eating them.
02:42:30.000So then they figured out that they could play the sound of caterpillars munching leaves right next to the tree, and it would have the same effect.
02:46:27.000If we did figure out a way to never have an animal suffer again, but we could all eat meat, what would you do with all the animals that existed?
02:48:37.000You'd have to bring over predators too.
02:48:39.000You'd have to create a wild ecosystem, just a fully wild ecosystem.
02:48:45.000There's so many people by the year 2099 that we have occupied every single stretch of the world and everything looks like New York City except one continent which is like Central Park for the world.
02:48:58.000So the world is now one enormous city but we've maintained like the Amazon.
02:49:03.000The Amazon rainforest is what we cherish.
02:49:05.000That's our last connection to Mother Earth before we completely Slip in to some symbiotic relationship with computers.
02:49:13.000We're allowed to visit this island in a little hamster ball, so.
02:49:20.000I mean, it sounds crazy, but if you're talking about 500 years from now, we literally could have occupied every single part of the earth, except for one place.
02:49:29.000We literally could make some sort of a deal.
02:49:42.000Can you imagine you're underwater and you see a little crack in the wall and you're coming home and you're on edibles and you're so tired but you have to be at work in three hours.
02:49:50.000And you look and you see a little, just a small crack in the world.
02:49:54.000And you go, do I talk about this crack?
02:50:06.000I'd trust underwater cracks more than going in a Tesla to Mars.
02:50:10.000Just the feeling of all the walls exploding instantaneously and billions of gallons of ocean water crushing your very existence instantaneously.
02:51:06.000Can you imagine if you're a lady and you go out there and you're looking to do a story about a guy who made his own submarine and then somewhere along the line he kills you and chops you up and throws you in the ocean.
02:51:18.000You've got to think, like, when you're going to interview a guy who made a submarine, there's no way this guy's going to chop me up.
02:51:24.000He knows that everybody knows I'm going to visit him.
02:51:28.000I kind of believe his excuse a little but then I you know that where the the hatch just closed on her head Yeah, but you're supposed to tell people yeah, you're not supposed to chop her up and throw in the ocean and pretend nothing happened You just tell everybody is a horrific accident and you feel terrible and you get punished and Fuck man Poor lady.
02:53:34.000I think they're going to have the same sort of lane departure warnings and all the stuff that keeps cars from crashing into each other, the correct.
02:53:40.000And then people are just going to say, well, as long as they're autonomous, it actually makes it more efficient to use the entire 3D space and not have the landscape marred with all these hard roads.
02:53:54.000I haven't been a bummer today, have I? I feel like I'm freaking...
