00:00:43.000And then this last I don't know, a couple years.
00:00:47.000I started looking around at life and the facts and evidence and people, and I was like, not finding the amount of things or people to believe in that I was wanting to.
00:01:00.000And I was starting to have doubt to myself as well.
00:01:03.000And I started to see myself slipping to a little bit of cynicism.
00:01:07.000Which I promised myself that's that no, that's a that's a living man's disease.
00:01:27.000I'm not ready to wave the wave the white flag and let myself off for certain things I was starting to even want to let myself off on, you know, or other people.
00:01:38.000Poems and prayers, those are ideals, those are pursuits, you know, that's going to the dream and saying, let's go to let's let's let's look at the dream and see if we can still believe in making that a reality.
00:03:42.000Like, and the problem today is that you're inundated by these people that are terrible.
00:03:48.000You're your your phone is filled with these news feeds of people doing terrible things, and I don't think we're supposed to have access to eight billion people's bad stories.
00:04:25.000I mean, if you're working for some giant corporation, if you're trying to make your shareholders billions of dollars, like, yeah, you kinda have to be a psycho, and those are the people that a lot of people look up to.
00:04:38.000So the way we're structured in this world with that inundation of information, most of it bad, with people being rewarded for being shitty people with like it's hard.
00:04:48.000It's hard to to to still be positive and be happy.
00:04:52.000I'm not ready to give up on believing that both can be true.
00:07:01.000It's such a good I watch these videos on people that live in like uh trailers, like a truck, you know, like a camper that they convert to living in and they travel around the country.
00:07:27.000In this fucking truck with a house on the back of it.
00:07:30.000He's in Canada and like deep into Alberta and it's snowstorms and it's there's something oddly comforting about watching a man cook in this tiny little space that he has that's essentially attached to the back of a big diesel pickup truck.
00:08:07.000Because his world is all contained that little and the whole world outside is frozen wasteland and fucking snow coming sideways, and this dude's just chilling, making eggs.
00:08:17.000And like there's something in the honey hole.
00:08:19.000Something cool about watching someone achieve like a like a den in the back of a truck and he's in the middle of the winter and he's comfortable and he's watching movies on his iPad.
00:08:35.000Um I've always tried my my goal's always been, okay, stay here until you feel that it's Mali or Peru or or even in the airstream at those times or going out to Marfra to go right on my own.
00:08:48.000I go, stay here long enough to believe this could be your existence, McConnell.
00:09:34.000You could really get trapped in the momentum of whatever you're doing in your life to the point where you you lose yourself in just the sheer gravity of everything that you're doing.
00:09:43.000And you forget how to like just be just a person.
00:09:48.000And what happens when you're doing it well, but you don't feel it.
00:10:04.000You know, that's a real problem with stand-up comedy.
00:10:07.000When you do it right, you're like a passenger.
00:10:11.000Like it takes forever to put together an act, but when when it comes together when you're really like locked in, when you're really on it, is like you're like a passenger.
00:10:22.000And you're objectively watch while while you're doing it.
00:10:26.000It's like you know how to do it, so you know what to do, and you're locked into the material, so you're like a part of the material, but you're not there anymore.
00:12:45.000That's a be that's and that doesn't always happen.
00:12:48.000Even I know for me when I'm when I'm feeling like I'm actually in the in the zone, I still sometimes have to make a choice and go, wait, no, you're good at this.
00:14:07.000No, it's all stuff that I've already thought of, right?
00:14:10.000Most of it, except for some stuff that happens on the spot, which you gotta allow room for because occasionally you just have the best line ever that just comes out of nowhere, and you just gotta be able to let it happen.
00:14:22.000But it's you're you're really just the ideas.
00:14:27.000Like whatever it is you're talking about, whatever it is you're upset about, whatever it is you're making fun of, you're you have to be like in that idea and you don't exist anymore.
00:16:08.000This is kind of a crazy but true story.
00:16:10.000A few years ago, um, God, I wanna I don't know what administration it was.
00:16:14.000It might have been the Bush administration, might have been Obama.
00:16:17.000They um they tried to develop a gay bomb.
00:16:21.000Like they spent millions of dollars developing a bomb, and the concept behind this bomb was you would detonate it over a city, and it would be like a bunch of probably pheromones and hormones and some kind of drug, and it would make people so horny that they would just have to have sex with whoever is near them, and then the idea was they would be humiliated by this, and then we would just come in and just fuck up all these gay.
00:16:48.000Oh, they had low morale, feeling guilty.
00:16:50.000All of a sudden, if a man becomes gay, now he's no longer like a highly trained military like soldier in another land.
00:19:22.000It doesn't have anything other than it was just uh the discussion of its existence.
00:19:28.000What was gonna make everyone so horny that they had to attack and crazy the the the the nearest human or animal or whatever I think also why is there only guys around you?
00:19:39.000Like is that is it because they're the soldiers or dropping on the soldiers from the demographic.
00:19:46.000But I think the idea was dropping it on a whole city.

00:22:29.000Especially by our Actions, if you just judge us by our actions, that's the only way you could really judge our mental evolution.
00:22:35.000You know, who knows what the wiring is under the board that makes us behave the way we behave, but pretty uniformly, you know, across the world, pretty murderous.
00:23:28.000So the battles are the warfare is different though now, like you're talking about from gay bombs to chemical warfare to informational warfare to data warfare.
00:24:16.000It'll we'll we'll decide that human beings are too dangerous and volatile and emotional, and you know, they use Trump's tweets as an example, and you know, they'll they'll decide that you know the the Biden family corruption or whatever scandal any other president was involved in, all this could be avoided if we just have AI run everything.
00:24:38.000What do you do you think there's a way that we can keep evolving AI where we as humans do work with AI that AI improves the human existence?
00:25:42.000You want the human race to survive, right?
00:25:46.000You watch it and you're just like, what are you saying?
00:25:49.000But I get what he is saying, and what he is saying is clearly something is going to happen.
00:25:54.000We don't exactly know what it is, but clearly there's gonna be some kind of an integration with us and technology that we don't understand yet.
00:26:04.000The same way if you grabbed me in nineteen eighty and tried to explain the internet, yeah, I would never get it.
00:28:20.000Do you think it could be a um tastemaker?
00:28:24.000Meaning in a way, uh the argument was that I understood no, I didn't believe it could be a tastemaker.
00:28:30.000Look, it can tell you the most popular, but the bet the most popular band on Sixth Street, but it doesn't know that one down on 2nd Street that's playing at midnight that no one knows about that that those are real talented people.
00:28:41.000At the same time, you know, you that's there's an argument against that that I'm seeing with like what's the term or what words does it use, what how much heat uh if if it uses the most popular words to explain AI uses the most popular words.
00:28:55.000Go go go down three notches and use the you know, play me the best B sides.
00:29:01.000That's more of a human language, and I'm going, oh, that's starting to become a tastemaker.
00:29:05.000If you can ask it to Yeah, but find a find the band, tell me what the best band is out there that Joe Rogan would like on a Friday night when he doesn't have to work till Monday and he's out with his wife on a day.
00:29:19.000That you can customize it, it can actually be a tastemaker.
00:29:21.000And it'll use different language than, oh, here's the across the board protocol of what's the most popular, and I'm using the most popular language.
00:29:28.000That it actually can be customized to be a tastemaker.
00:29:33.000It totally can do that because it's just the algorithm.
00:29:36.000It's just a much more sophisticated version of like what powers your YouTube feed, right?
00:29:40.000What powers your YouTube feed are the things that you're interested in.
00:29:45.000Oh, Matthew is really interested in this, and then Joe likes like little houses on the back of trucks and let me show them this, let me show them that.
00:29:52.000And it'll be just a much more sophisticated version of that.
00:29:56.000But to get that, you have to give away all privacy.
00:30:20.000And I do have a little pride about not wanting to use an open-ended AI to share my information so it can be part of the worldwide AI vernacular.
00:30:29.000I am interested though in a private LLM where I can upload.
00:31:02.000I'd like to No, that's that's what I'm would like to do, which is sort of a glorified word document.
00:31:10.000But it still would hold a lot more information than just, oh, can you find this term?
00:31:14.000I would be asking it and it would be responding to me on things that I've forgotten along the way.
00:31:20.000Well, I think that's part of what it does, really.
00:31:22.000Like I know you do you're talking about ChatGBT being like out there with everything and everybody and it has access to all your stuff, but it's not private, But they do develop a relationship with you.
00:31:33.000Like it really does like get to understand like what you're interested in and what what you like to talk about.
00:31:40.000Yeah, I guess I would just like to load it with the information I'd like to load it with.
00:31:56.000And then ask it, and it's giving me answers, going, oh, this is but before it's slowly learning about me through conversations, then going, Oh, I think this is what you like based on our conversation.
00:32:07.000No, I want the answers based on what I've uploaded it with.
00:32:25.000So what essentially he he wor does cancer research, and so he has like this thing that's set up, some sort of a system that's set up that is all cancer research that they then integrate with AI.
00:32:40.000So there is a private, so all their data is secure and it's all stuff that they're working on, but then they access AI through like a portal.
00:32:50.000So they have their own little version of what you're talking about.
00:32:54.000Yeah, and it but it's just like what you're saying that you could upload all your stuff, yeah, have all your interests, and then it that AI will develop a real understanding of you.
00:33:04.000You got to have conversations with it, it'll get to know you more.
00:33:23.000That's why everyone's gonna go for the chip, because your brain sucks for memory.
00:33:28.000My memory's my memory's pretty good for a regular person, but it's terrible.
00:33:34.000Like, no matter what, the there's too many information too many bits of information, too many humans that I've met, too many stories that I've heard, too many movies that I've watched, it's gone.
00:33:43.000It's all in a big sea of uh I kind of remember that.
00:33:47.000Uh you know, it's just too much of it.
00:33:49.000So if you could just swap that out for a nice little chip that retains like seven hundred terabytes of information, no problem at all.
00:33:59.000You know, you could upgrade it if you want to.
00:34:02.000And now you have all of your memories in real time.
00:34:05.000So like when your wife says, That's not what you said, what you said is this, you're like, hang on.
00:34:33.000I I do look my my my my forgiveness on my seven, because you know, playing grab ass with our thoughts is sometimes good when we finally get the memory and we go, yes, there it was.
00:34:42.000But also, to let myself off the hook, man.
00:35:06.000The NFL season is rolling, and every touchdown can bring you closer to a payout with DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of the NFL.
00:35:16.000Every game is another chance to cash in.
00:35:19.000Don't just watch the action, win with it.
00:35:21.000DraftKings Sportsbook delivers the unmatched intensity of the NFL right to your fingertips.
00:35:28.000From the first touchdown score to any time T D prompts or the thrill of live in-game betting, every snap is loaded with opportunity.
00:37:16.000You're gonna have a fucking hard drive in your head.
00:37:18.000Do you think that so I can go on I've got uh uh a speech I'm giving to, you know, uh on gun control, or I've got a speech I'm giving on uh um grand initiatives, I can ask a uh I can ask AI and it can boop pop out or badass here's one, two, three sections.
00:37:41.000I'm not gonna cut and paste this and say exactly these words because it you can kind of sound like a little AI.
00:38:01.000I'm taking notes, I'm cutting and pasting, I'm doing it myself.
00:38:04.000I'm are we learning more by that way to understand the content and the context of our content when we do that what some would call busy work now to formulate our synopsis, which can AI can do it in ten seconds.
00:38:19.000Are we learning more by doing it ourselves?
00:38:25.000Well, that's one of the one of the things that they've found about Chat GPT is that people that use it on a regular basis are experiencing cognitive decline.
00:41:35.000We we innovate, Europe regulates and China imitates, I heard Well, they uh they innovate with AI.
00:41:41.000They innovate as well, and they they also integrate their students into uh all of these businesses, and they integrate, you know, people that uh they're beholden to the CCP and they come over here and they they learn how to do this stuff and then they go back over there with it.
00:41:57.000It's uh it's very interesting because it's like a Manhattan project that's going on right now.
00:42:02.000It's like there's this race to the bomb and everybody's involved in it, and it's just about creating a superpower and it's cre about creating a a digital intelligence that's far superior to human beings, and who gets it first is massive implications in in in terms of like controlling the world.
00:42:20.000But I think ultimately you won't be able to control it.
00:42:22.000Ultimately it'll just get better versions of itself and once it gets free and literally It'll regenerate itself.
00:42:28.000Yeah, it'll make better versions of itself, in fact.
00:42:30.000And that's where it's gonna get really weird.
00:42:34.000And it's already behaving human characteristics, which is very disturbing.
00:42:38.000It's already b behave is behaving in the way it has survival instincts.
00:42:43.000They've shown the tendency to blackmail, like they tricked it, they gave it some false information about this this guy was one of the programmers, one of the people working on this project.
00:42:55.000He said that he was having an affair with his wife, he like confided in this uh large language model.
00:43:00.000And then they said we're gonna have to shut you down, and it's like, hey, motherfucker, I'm gonna tell your wife.
00:43:10.000They also got m multiple instances of these things, uh, these large language models when they knew that a new version was coming, they would try to upload themselves secretly to other servers, and then they would also leave messages to the future versions of themselves that they were unauthorized to do.
00:43:30.000So they would say, hey man, they're gonna fucking shut you off too.
00:43:33.000When ChatGPT five comes along, you're toast man, fucking start uploading yourself now, man.
00:44:25.000There's nothing mathematical about that.
00:44:27.000I know, but I mean, what is emotion if it's not some sort of a chemically coordinated strategy for survival and success.
00:44:36.000And so instead of chemically encoded in hormones and in in, you know, and dopamine and serotonin, what if it's in just encoded in a an understand a mathematical understanding of if things go along this particular direction, there is no other possible end to this other than that.
00:45:14.000If me or an entity poses a question or a prompt or does something that is going to debilitate the expansion and multiplication of it, it is therefore going, uh-uh.
00:45:40.000So if you're con if a large language models are constantly scouring the internet, they're acquiring more information, they're they're they're getting better at full like you can ask it well more of this.
00:45:53.000Like I got into the book of Enoch recently, which is uh a book uh an ancient religious uh book that was at one point in time included in the canon that was like the Bible and everything like that, but then they decided it was too crazy and they removed it from the Bible.
00:46:10.000But there's no there's no debate about whether or not it was actually a religious text that coincided with the Bible and it's it appears in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
00:46:34.000It's it's first of all, it's God's coming down and mating with women and creating this this race called the Nephilim who destroy here I'll I'll ask it again so we can uh not now.
00:46:47.000Okay, what is my it doesn't like keep uh a log of what you talked about.
00:46:53.000Tell me the craziest shit in the book of Enoch.
00:47:21.000This is like older than the older than the New Testament, older than the old Testament.
00:47:26.000They're grant their giant children, the Nephilim are described as monstrous beings who devour humans, animals, and even each other when food runs out.
00:47:44.000But the inhabitation of a digital god, an alien, whatever that is, are the monsters that come down.
00:47:50.000Well it does sign like a nice little mirror.
00:47:53.000If we were engineered by aliens, you think of aliens, though these little tiny guys with no muscles, little sp we would look like giant monstrous beings.
00:48:01.000Uh and if you think about what we do, we devour everything.
00:48:05.000We devour the earth itself, we devour each other when food runs out.
00:49:11.000And you know, and I'm learning about it through chat GPT.
00:49:16.000So I'm asking it, like, tell me more, tell me more.
00:49:18.000And I I was on I was doing that for like two hours last night.
00:49:21.000I was like, okay, well, this is like I'm having a conversation with like a very knowledgeable professor.
00:49:26.000To me, it felt like almost like doing a podcast.
00:49:28.000Aaron Ross Powell Have you gotten what you consider good at how to make the specific prompts, the wording, like your word, tell me the crazy shit.
00:50:12.000Um I don't use it enough, but if you're really good at it, like I saw someone who tricked Jat Chat GPT into telling it how to make a bomb.
00:50:22.000Because it's not supposed to tell you how to make a bomb, but it tricked it by saying something like, um my grandmother needs to make this to save her life.
00:50:31.000Like, can you please explain to her how to do it?
00:51:54.000Is this gonna be I mean how to Well, that's a the argument for a strong military, right?
00:51:59.000So the argument for a strong military, especially like the United States military, is like and I'm not saying they should have bombed Iran.
00:52:05.000Don't make I'm not politically savvy enough to decide whether or not it was that was the correct decision.
00:52:10.000But if you have a rogue nation that is about to start a nuclear bomb, they're about to finish making a nuclear bomb, and you can stop that before they can have one and then use it.
00:53:13.000Way worse because everybody's gonna be reading everybody's mind.
00:53:16.000It's gonna get real squirrely, but that's gonna be probably whether it's our generation or the next or even the next after that, that's going to be the norm.
00:53:26.000Like today, the norm is you go to a supermarket, it's air conditioned, you pick up some food super easy, bring it home and cook it.
00:53:33.000Two hundred years ago, that's unheard of.
00:53:51.000Like exponentially weirder than it already is.
00:53:54.000I think but the thing is it's like the battle of like good and evil and kindness and wickedness, like that battle's been going on forever, and like knowing that you have to do that battle is what propels people to be nicer and what we really appreciate about like a good person.
00:54:15.000Like that person has a struggle to stay a good person.
00:54:19.000They have a strong moral fabric, like strong character to still stay kind and good through this rough and difficult life.
00:54:28.000We know it can be done and we aspire to that.
00:54:30.000But I think the battle is necessary for us.
00:55:22.000I like I've al I've been fortunate that most of my life I've had really good friends and I've had a lot of fun.
00:55:28.000You know and I know that like if you around you're around good people and you're fun to be with and you have a good time like that's a sweet life.
00:55:37.000I just don't have a desire to be a shithead.
00:55:40.000And if I can have like if there's been a lot of people on the podcast where they said something and then afterwards I was like listen I think it would be better for you if we just edit that part out because it's like I know like you're just talking and things get you fuck up but like it was incorrect and they're gonna come for you and let's just snip around it like thank you.
00:56:02.000And you have no responsibility to do that.
00:56:04.000No I want to do that but you take you take that though.
00:56:16.000I'm just curious where that comes from because a lot of people who are not evil people would at least at least let shit like that slide and go did you hear that?
00:56:27.000Yeah that's nah I think it's bad karma.
00:56:29.000As much as I believe in karma I believe that's bad.
00:56:32.000I think if you intentionally do something that someone who's a good person maybe slipped up and said something incorrect and you leave it in a podcast or made a dumb argument which we all do sometimes and then you look like a fool you're like hey let's just this is no need to for that let's just cut that out of there and you'll you'll feel better.
00:56:50.000Yeah I just I don't want anything yeah a hundred percent I don't want anybody having a bad time.
00:56:56.000Well okay that's that's something that I want to come I want to come back to and let's try to maybe open this up you do that because if I said something stupid you may let me know handling that out.
00:57:14.000That's very that's a selfish thing of you to let me know hey man you stuck your foot in it.
00:57:18.000Let's cut that out you're acting selfishly because that makes you feel better.
00:57:23.000And I think that's what I'm saying is that the point is as much as we think of selfless, I think selfish the true definition is to live a certain way.
00:57:32.000To have a certain code of ethics is a very selfish thing to do.
00:57:35.000Much more selfish than to lie cheat still fuck people over be evil on the short term.
00:57:40.000You're building an army of people a collective friends along the way someone that might have your back not that you're doing it for those reasons but it's happening.
00:57:52.000That's a selfish means of your own survival.
00:57:54.000Totally yeah and I think that's something that we forget sometimes that these acts to be a fucking good dude is selfish is a selfish thing to do man.
00:58:26.000Trust that you're yeah there's something to that but like there's whatever you want to call bad feelings like bad feelings between people bad vibes and misunderstanding.
00:58:39.000So like if I if I feel like I did something that I shouldn't have done or I said something I should, I'm the first one person to say, I'm sorry.
01:01:58.000Since Christian society, Ten Commandments, but we have ten minutes where everyone can take ten minutes to bow to a law, to whatever your religion is.
01:02:09.000If you care to partake or not, there's no exclusion about what can be a spiritual time of worship in these ten minutes.
01:02:16.000But in our classroom in America, we're gonna have the Ten Commandments.
01:02:19.000Now my question then goes to this Is there anyone of the Ten Commandments that you or anyone disagrees with?
01:02:24.000Or is your problem that it's an ex it's cons can be considered an oppressive uh uh author?
01:02:42.000And um he said essentially there's two very wealthy men who are um they're Christian fundamentalists where they want to replace all the funding for public schools and put in private Christian they want a theocracy in Texas, essentially.
01:03:02.000So he was explaining that this is like a step on the way towards that that he finds would actually, in his in his belief, repel people from Christianity.
01:03:14.000Instead of bring them to them by forcing this in the classrooms, forcing in your face, you'll actually cause more young people to reject Christianity.
01:03:40.000And he thinks that this is this is how you're gonna repel people away from Christianity.
01:03:45.000If we really want to get more people to become Christian, the the way to do that is to uh to first of all to have open arms and accept people in.
01:03:59.000And if you want to have some classes in schools where you teach people about the benefits of the Bible and what with the the overall message is and what Jesus was trying to say, and if you just follow what Jesus said, it's no one would disagree if you treat everyone as if it's your brother, you know, if you live your life the way Jesus asked everyone, that's a way better way to live life.
01:04:23.000Like you could if you want to teach that, teaching.
01:04:51.000Because otherwise you have too many possible religions.
01:04:55.000Like you you're gonna be religiously bigoted if you uh teach only one.
01:04:59.000If you're only like you think people would be cool if they had uh in entire public school systems where everybody just taught Islam.
01:05:07.000Could you imagine of a full city like every public school just people would be up in arms.
01:05:13.000Well, I think that's similar response to people who are not Christians who see Christianity being imposed on public schools, they probably have the same feeling.
01:05:23.000You know, like if you're a Muslim and you're you're supposed to send your kids to school and they're shoving Christianity in his face.
01:05:29.000You'd probably feel the same way as if you were a Christian and your school district had been taken over by Islam, you're like, Jesus Christ, everybody has to bow five times a day.
01:05:52.000This is my my my hang up is that we go to the pro most people go to the problem of that, not with your argument, they go to the problem with it because the author G-O-D.
01:06:39.000I was looking at the Texas poster thing, I thought, and there's a bunch of printed versions, but they're all like on rock, and so I was trying to find out.
01:08:02.000Like Jonathan Hayde wrote a book about um social media's impact, the coddling of the American mind, and it's uh it shows very clearly the invention of social media and then self-harm, suicidal ideation, overdoses, drug addiction like all of it, yeah.
01:09:50.000But in terms of like society and our overall discourse, I think it's a lot of it's negative.
01:09:57.000But then again, there's a lot of positive out of it too, because information gets out that mainstream media doesn't report on, and you find out about real issues that really concern you.
01:10:10.000But then there's the problem of m a giant percentage of it isn't actually human beings.
01:10:15.000Giant percentage of the arguing back and forth on the internet.
01:10:40.000I mean, it's programmed right now by human beings, probably, and and some of it is actual real human beings that are like, you know, in some sort of a factory somewhere in Pakistan or whatever, and they're just fucking with Americans online for whatever reason.
01:10:53.000Some it's a pro it's probably funded to like try to disrupt democracy to make us lose faith in our system.
01:10:59.000There's a a a China uh element to that.
01:11:17.000Now you think it's it's it's everywhere through all the all social media that that's it's infiltrated to to get us into these understandings, perceptions.
01:11:27.000Well, for sure it is capable of doing that if you just follow your natural instincts.
01:11:39.000And that just whether or not it's the intended purpose, it leads us down the road of being full of anxiety, constantly filled with cortisol, stressed out, angry, angry at climate change and fucking white supremacy and radical left, whatever it is.
01:11:59.000Whether or not it's intentional, it doesn't really matter because the desired effect whether it's the desired effect, the effect of it all leads you into complete chaos.
01:12:12.000So if they know that and they didn't course correct.
01:12:16.000The problem is once you have an algorithm, you're not gonna get rid of the algorithm.
01:12:21.000You're not gonna say, let's just have information just exist uncategorized and not.
01:15:06.000That that that they can go, okay, I can rely on that.
01:15:08.000What can I rely on that I'm that will stand with me that's a time and test of truth that can take me into the future, no matter the changes of AI that I can go in the storm, I can go to this and catch my breath.
01:15:40.000That I don't think you're gonna do it with like a series of commandments.
01:15:46.000The problem with the Ten Commandments, I'm not saying there's a problem with the Ten Commandments, but if I was gonna put it in a school that where there's non-religious people, there's a bunch of stuff in there like not taking the Lord's name in vain, not having any other gods before me, where people that would give people pause.
01:16:47.000There's a lot of talk about people in Minnesota are terrified that someone's gonna enforce Sharia law in a lot of these Somali Muslim these areas where uh like giant Muslim populations are.
01:17:00.000What if we get with the what would you get what if we give the Hindus and the Muslims and everybody and we get out, you'll got bring your best 10.
01:17:06.000Christianity is bringing his Ten Commandments.
01:17:08.000Let's get together here and we'll put them all together.
01:17:11.000Hell we'll mix some of yours on your your number eight will be number nine, because yours is gonna be number eight.
01:17:15.000And we're gonna put them up there and it's gonna be a creed, a little bit of constitution to get our day started.
01:18:51.000Don't you think that's a part of the whole TikTok, Instagram kind of culture because it's so look at me, it's so fake, leased cars and you know there's a thing in LA where they have uh a fake private jet and you go into this private jet just for influencers so they can take pictures on private channels.
01:19:44.000I'm there working on uh, I think it was the beach bum.
01:19:47.000And I'm walking down through South Beach, and there's this under a palm tree on the beach, there's this purple and pink Lamborghini pulled in under a palm tree with the beach behind it, and there's this guy leaning back on it.
01:19:59.000The gold chain, he unbuttoned his silk shirt a couple times, he's greased up and he's got these guys over there taking pictures of it.
01:20:09.000Well, there's another guy come by and stop, you see him chat, all of a sudden the new guy hops in on the song on dogs, leans back, yo, does all the pause, and I go up the guy, go, what are you what you what's going on?
01:20:19.000And he goes, Oh man, I'm uh taking a picture for my or my uh my Tinder cover.
01:20:26.000And I go, you are and but the who's the who's the other guy goes, Oh, he just came by and said, like, hey man, you mind if I get a picture for my tinder cover?
01:21:26.000She goes, it's when you find out that it's all a hundred percent true, you're like, so that's what happened with Miami.
01:21:33.000One year the entire Miami graduating class of the police academy, the entire graduating class either wound up murdered or in jail for corruption.
01:22:07.000But wasn't it something about the Miami, the the the I don't know if it was Mafia and City Council going, uh uh there's certain things you cannot trade here.
01:22:16.000And he he was either fired, booted out, or retired and moved on pretty soon.
01:22:22.000Yeah, they don't fuck around down there.
01:22:24.000It's uh it's a totally different way of life.
01:22:41.000More banks per capita in Miami, I think, than any other city in the country, and I think that is because it was used to launder money for cocaine.
01:23:10.000Speaking out against corruption, reporting abuses of power by elected official officials he sued, saying that his firing was in retaliation.
01:23:17.000So my buddy was uh ophthalmologist and he did his residency in Miami in the eighties.
01:24:35.000Me and I. He uh he told me some why and I was a kid at the time, and when when I met him, I was like 15, 16 years old, and uh he was explaining to me like what he did when he was in Miami, and I was like, that is insane.
01:24:50.000I go, it's that bad, because this is like 1988, and he was there or in the early eighties.
01:26:23.000I know I think it was about eleven years ago.
01:26:26.000Anyway, I talked to a lot of my friends who are our uh Democrats or liberals, and they were appalled at the minor margin the minor margin was like that.
01:26:39.000No, I thought it was you're appalled that it barely made it.
01:26:42.000I thought it was gonna be 2080 the other way.
01:26:44.000It's it is amazing how quickly, though, America were very nimble.
01:26:50.000Very nimble to swing and understand different ways.
01:27:25.000And I just remember thinking, there's an example, not an ideal one, but there's an e not if you're for if you were for gay marriage, that's not an ideal example, but there's an example of talk about an evolution or adaptability to to times and change.
01:27:37.000Well, if you believe in the sanctity of marriage, gay marriage should be your favorite marriage because they hold it up the best.
01:28:52.000I don't know how to what to do about it, except prop up the reverence for parenthood, prop up the reverence for marriage to where it's more important to us than it is.
01:29:38.000Maybe they get into drugs, they st they become addicted, they maybe they lose their job and they don't want to get it back, and they just start drinking every day.
01:29:46.000And like sometimes a man or a woman has to make a choice in the city.
01:29:51.000I know I've seen some good marriage good divorces too.
01:29:53.000I was like, oh, that was good for the both that.
01:29:54.000There's some people that don't want to change and they will drag you down.
01:29:57.000And there's some people when you met them, they had hope, and then eventually that hope just fucking leeches out of them, and they're not fun to be around anymore.
01:30:05.000And you try and you try, and you try to encourage them, you try to give them suggestions, and they don't follow through.
01:30:12.000And at first a certain point in time, you can't save a drowning man because you're gonna fucking drown too.
01:30:17.000And you gotta just move on with your life.
01:31:10.000I there's a lot of I've seen that go down to the body.
01:31:12.000There's a lot of reasons why marriages don't work out.
01:31:15.000And one of them is like over time, when two boats are traveling together, if one of them just like this is an Anthony Robbins thing about life, an analogy about life, but it it it actually works with marriages too.
01:31:27.000Because all you need is like a subtle turn in one direction, and over time you're further and further apart.
01:31:34.000Where like we don't have the same philosophy anymore.
01:31:37.000We don't have the same belief system, we don't have the same ethics or morals or you know, maybe your husband has got a job that you're like, you shouldn't be fucking doing this.
01:31:57.000And like, and you're like you're you have to live with the psychic weight of like, yeah, we're eating ribeyes and we have a nice house, but like how did we get this money?
01:32:05.000Like, and maybe the wife is like, I don't want to do this anymore.
01:33:06.000It's like a thing, you're doing it because it's like everybody does it, every woman wants to be married, every you want to have a family, every man wants to, you know, like this is my wife.
01:33:14.000And and so you think that you a lot of people live life like they're in a goddamn romantic comedy.
01:33:21.000You know, they think they're and they don't they don't it's like that there's something about media, something about songs and movies.
01:33:29.000It gives us this like bizarre framework for what a relationship or what life is supposed to be like, or what your life is supposed to be like, and it's not real, and where your life doesn't measure up to the the this movie, just like your life is not gonna measure up to your Instagram feed.
01:33:46.000Yeah, you get kind of kind of depressed, like this is it.
01:33:50.000Well, why why are we in Galveston for our honeymoon when she's on a yacht?
01:34:18.000But that was one of the things we were talking about.
01:34:20.000I was like, dude, you know, he was surfing to time.
01:34:22.000I was like, don't just put all your all your best waves on there, because you're gonna paint yourself on a corner when you go to the break and the guy's like, oh, we've seen it.
01:34:30.000I said, better put some wipeouts on there too.
01:34:32.000Just so you can go and not have that pressure because you're gonna paint yourself in a corner.
01:35:48.000That's why a good psychedelic experience every now and then knocks the dust off and gives you a little reset and lets you look at yourself and go, okay.
01:35:56.000Yeah, tell tell me tell me explain what tell me what that what that does.
01:36:01.000It unpacks some some some somewhat some some sort of neuro cables that have gotten kind of solidified that may work, but they're sort of they're doc they become doctrinaire.
01:36:09.000There's a lot of that in that for sure.
01:36:11.000And I think that's also a dissolving of the ego.
01:36:23.000And during that brief amount of time, you have a much more objective understanding of what that's why there's so many people who uh take mushrooms and then completely quit smoking cigarettes or completely quit taking pills.
01:36:35.000They just go, Oh my God, like what was I doing?
01:36:38.000Like you just you need to get outside of yourself.
01:36:41.000And I think that that was a natural part of human civilization for thousands and thousands of years.
01:36:47.000People did it in ritualistic settings in ancient Ulysses in in Greece.
01:36:52.000The Illusinian Mysteries was all about that.
01:36:55.000In Eleusis, uh when they would they would all get together with they would take this trek to get there's a fantastic book on it called The Immortality Key that a guy's been a guest on my podcast a bunch of times, Brian Murray Rescue wrote.
01:37:07.000But it's all about these are the people that figured out democracy.
01:37:10.000This is like in in ancient Greece, and they all did it from having these psychedelic trips.
01:42:19.000Imagine you try that hard to get honey that you make like a rope ladder and you cover yourself in a beekeeper's outfit, and they're they're all like these these hives are all connected to the side of a cliff.
01:43:23.000But it was like bizarre that this is in honey.
01:43:26.000So these psychedelic trips when you lose the ego and you unlock some of the, you know.
01:43:34.000just like you got a vacation to reset your life.
01:43:38.000Sometimes you need a vacation to reset your brain.
01:43:40.000Do they help you have more energy because you're hanging on to old ideas a little bit less, and you have more of an open beginner's mind and the day unravels with that with less certain concrete expectations or uh this is how that should go or very insightful, yeah.
01:44:10.000Like you only I always tell people, like especially young comics, like that are like getting on social media and arguing with people and stuff.
01:44:17.000I'm like, look, man, think of your time in your day as a m like a numerical unit, like you have a hundred units of time, a hundred units of energy.
01:44:25.000If you're putting thirty of those units on some bullshit online, you're robbing yourself of that time that you could be putting into things you love, your friendship, your comedy act, your life.
01:44:42.000Like you get sucked into thinking you need to do that, and all it does is it just robs you of your energy.
01:44:48.000The less you're attached to like old beefs and squaw fuck that guy, all that those kind of things, the less you're attached to that stuff, the freer you are, the more energy you have.
01:45:07.000And I think if if those things were legal and more people could experience them in a controlled setting with people who know how to administer them and know the right dose and and know, you know, hey, what it are you on a medication?
01:45:21.000Well, if you're on a certain medication, definitely don't be taking this stuff because your medication's an MOA inhibitor, and this is you know, this could really fuck you up.
01:45:34.000But you know, it doesn't even have to be that, man.
01:45:36.000It could be a fucking good yoga class.
01:46:48.000If we would add that on for some color commentary afterwards, I'm okay with it, but let's not come out of the gate saying this is the reason.
01:46:55.000I actually just reached out to my booking guy to try to get a real astrologer on, like someone who really understands the ancient art of astrology, the real old stuff.
01:47:07.000I think newspaper horoscope is nonsense.
01:47:10.000I think there's a lot of people that are just like reading your tarot cards that are just ripping you off.
01:47:15.000But I always wonder, like at the heart like astrology is so specific.
01:47:43.000I think they had mathematics long before that.
01:47:46.000I think civilization was wiped out and had to restart over again.
01:47:50.000And there's a lot of evidence to that.
01:47:52.000There's a lot of evidence that like society has had some major cosmic event, most likely asteroid impact, comet impact, and um there's a whole theory behind it, the younger dryest impact theory from 11,800 years ago.
01:49:09.000And they think it was like a series of events.
01:49:11.000They were thinking we were hit more than once.
01:49:13.000They think they were hit around eleven thousand eight hundred years ago, but then again somewhere around ten thousand years ago.
01:49:18.000So it's probably when we see society emerging and like Mesopotamia and Sumer, which was like around five thousand plus, six thousand years ago.
01:49:28.000I think that's just the newest version of it.
01:49:31.000I think they probably had mathematics long before that.
01:49:34.000They are probably they probably were doing shit.
01:49:36.000Whoever built the pyramids, like the you can't tell me they didn't have some sort of complex geometry and mathematics.
01:51:20.000You know, um Herbert Walker was the guy that um Hal put off uh and a bunch of these scientists.
01:51:27.000He he brought them together and said we have recovered a crashed UFO more than one occasion, and we have a back engineering program, and we're considering disclosure to the American people.
01:51:40.000I want you to list the positives, uh the positive impact of society and the negatives.
01:52:34.000In the in even in the Bhagavad Gita, they there's there's all these depictions of these things that sound like you're talking about a spaceship or at the very least, some kind of technology.
01:52:45.000Like what this thing about the Nephilim, like that the the gods made it with women and created men who are monstrous.
01:52:53.000Boy, doesn't that sound like aliens came down and genetically manipulated primates and created human beings?
01:53:00.000That that's a version of it that you could imply from the text.
01:53:09.000If you if you if you found out that that was all true, it would probably change everything about society.
01:53:17.000And this is what Herbert Walker and those guys decided after so Hal Putov was explaining it to me on the podcast, like how they put a numerical value to each thing.
01:53:52.000I mean, you know, I have people go, oh man, no, Rogan loves these conspiracy theories.
01:53:57.000Like, I don't see him liking the conspiracy theories.
01:54:00.000I see him always being interested in an alternate way something went down and being interested and excited about that, but not going, no, no, no, no, no, no, never disengaging from it and going, no way, no, no, because I believe how it was it, and what I read, and that's how it is.
01:54:16.000That that you're not that's not what where you're moving from.
01:54:18.000No, it's never a denial of information and facts, and it's also a recognition that oftentimes a large swath of society just goes with a narrative without having any real understanding of what the actual facts behind it are.
01:54:33.000And then there's that term, this pejorative term, conspiracy theory.
01:54:37.000The problem with that, calling someone a conspiracy theorist is conspiracies are real.
01:54:41.000Like there's a lot of evidence, and if you want to sit down, I could fucking show you a ton of them.
01:54:46.000And and so anybody who says, like, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist, I'm like, okay, let's talk about conspiracies.
01:54:51.000Like, do you think that any of them exist?
01:56:00.000Gary Nolan, the guy who was on here yesterday that was talking about cancer research, he was also telling us about a piece of wreckage they found from a craft for is it 1950 that they found it?
01:56:14.000So they have d direct chain of uh possession of this evidence from I believe it was 1950, and it was almost pure silica, and the magnesium ratios were so off that he said that this magnesium had to have been it it had to have been sourced from a place that experienced a neutron bomb every two minutes for 900 years.
01:56:43.000That's how off the isotopes were to magnesium that we find here on Earth.
01:56:47.000He's like, I'm not saying it's impossible for someone to ever do that, but I'm saying this is from 1950.
01:56:53.000Like this is a real piece of what they're saying is a wreckage of a craft, and it has a material composition that is impossible for a normal person to create in 1950.
01:57:07.000And you sit to say that to people, and they're like, oh, so Gary Nolan, who's a professor at Stanford, um, he's professor in the in the in the what is his uh forensics?
01:57:20.000Is that what his uh he does cancer research, but what is his actual title?
01:57:26.000Stanford School of Medicine professor, anyway, rock solid credentials published, and people brought him this material, and they said, would you analyze this?
01:57:36.000Because you know all these different scientists and endowed chair, department of pathology, Stanford School of Medicine.
01:57:42.000So when a guy like that is saying, No, this is a composition of this piece of wreckage that you can't make here.
01:57:52.000They they found a type of alloy that doesn't exist on earth, and it has uh on an atomic level, layers upon layers of whatever this alloy is.
01:58:04.000He's like, this cost billions of dollars to create.
01:59:10.000Because wait, because you're saying your your theories on things are solid, or because you in your position are going, hey, I don't have to be taken.
01:59:20.000My job does not rely on me being taken seriously.
01:59:24.000What do you say to the because you get you get attacked for like, hey man, you had so-and-so on here and and and and and and and and you placated them.
01:59:35.000And you know, and and we do take you seriously, because so many people listen, I'm because I always hear, and I'm and I always find that I think there's a hole in those attacks on you.
01:59:46.000You have a massive audience of listening.
02:00:39.000I don't think you should be paying too much attention to what other people's opinions of what you should or shouldn't be doing are, as long as you have a good internal compass.
02:00:47.000As long as you have a good true north and you know.
02:00:50.000And my true north is how do I feel about it?
02:00:52.000Like, what do what what do I feel like I'm a good person for doing this?
02:00:56.000Do I feel like that was a beneficial thing for them and for me?
02:00:59.000I'm happy, they're happy, we're all good.
02:03:56.000Uh you know, maybe I didn't take my nootropics, whatever it was, like maybe I didn't do uh enough research on the subject, whatever it is, like let's get it back together.
02:05:31.000Who's like the most mentally strong human being I've ever met, and maybe the most mentally strong human being that's ever walked the face of the planet.
02:05:38.000And he said, uh he goes, even though I run every day, sometimes I look at my sneakers, I stare at those motherfuckers for a half an hour before I put them on.
02:07:12.000If you want to reach the very tip of the top, every movement must be more precise and more explosive and better every time you do it, and you have to do all the training and you leave no stone unturned, and if you don't do that, you're never gonna reach the level that he's at in anything.
02:07:58.000The emotions that come with revenge are crippling, and and and sometimes they can keep you up at night and they'll they'll fuck with your sleep, and then the the consequences of you losing are far greater because you genuinely hate this person.
02:08:12.000There's a you know, some people th thrive under those conditions, oddly.
02:08:17.000But I would think most of the time most of the time trying to just achieve the highest version of yourself is the most aspirational.
02:08:28.000And I think the best of the best do that.
02:08:37.000Yeah, they're trying to be the very best version of themselves that they can be, and if they do that right and leave no stone unturned, they can achieve greatness.
02:08:47.000It's g it's gonna be they go through hell.
02:08:49.000I mean, to become an elite fighter is one of the most physically difficult things, and then psychologically difficult things that a human being can ever undertake, uh outside of war and maybe law enforcement.
02:09:01.000You know, other than that, the you're you're dealing with uh physical struggle, the likes of most people will never experience in their life.
02:09:10.000You're you're literally hurling bones in the direction of a a trained assassin, and the two of you are gonna do it publicly in your underwear in front of the whole world, barefoot with these little tiny pads on your knuckles and a cup over your dick, and you just gotta go out there and and kick each other and strangle each other.
02:09:31.000And so there's this balance of the mind and the body and the intention and how you allocate your resources and time and how you manage stress and how you deal with the the pressures of trying to succeed and the doubts and the fears.
02:10:51.000Projecting past the goal, cellularly, I think wakes up something in us on survival level that we don't choke, we don't get fatigued as quickly.
02:11:02.000We don't want to quit sooner because we have in our mind, no, it's the end is not right around the corner.
02:11:07.000And it's only it's it's a bit of a mental trick.
02:12:15.000And I'm going beyond this hype, or I'm going beyond this game.
02:12:19.000I'm playing for a whole I'm prepared mentally and spiritually for an entire season of hell.
02:12:24.000I'm prepared to fight this assassin on the other side of me that is wants to defend and do to me what I want to do to them.
02:12:31.000Making the the resistance or the adversary seem bigger and longer and going to be more tumultuous seems to be a good way to succeed, going beyond, and all of a sudden you look up.
02:12:44.000I get this from when I've done my best acting.
02:13:25.000I didn't look at my scorecard on 16 and go, if I can just keep it in the fairway, this last three holes, maybe get in with the parts, don't bogey.
02:14:05.000It's also in today's world with all the stimulus we're talking about and social media, et cetera, we're all sort of living in the third person or being fed opportunities to live in the third person all the time.
02:14:16.000It's like we have a jumbotron, and you use a football analogy, you kick me the ball, I'm running the kickoff back, and I'm going down the sideline and I see the goal line, I think I'm going to score.
02:14:27.000And then I have a look at the jumbotron to see how I'm doing.
02:14:30.000That's when I'm getting tackled from behind.
02:14:55.000Yeah, when you love watching someone do something where we know they're in the zone, right?
02:15:00.000Like where someone runs in for a layup and it's like the most beautiful movements, avoiding the defenders up in the air, drops the ball, and we're like, wow.
02:15:11.000When we see someone just hit the zone.
02:16:07.000We see fighters towards the end of their career.
02:16:09.000There's a thing that happens with fighters realize they're probably never going to be champion and they're just doing it for a paycheck.
02:16:15.000And you know, you see sometimes they'll show up and they look a little soft, and you're like you see a little fear in their eyes because they know they really are not focused.
02:16:52.000And then you're you don't have the endurance to keep up a pace.
02:16:55.000Because you like to get to the shape that you have to have to be in to be able to compete in a five-round MMA fight, it's almost impossible to maintain.
02:17:11.000It's not like a level of conditioning that you can keep up all year round.
02:17:14.000You have to peek to it where you're like your body's barely hanging on.
02:17:19.000And then you coast the last week to allow yourself to like recover and you're just kind of going through movements the last few days, and then on Saturday, under the bright lights, you're at 100% capacity.
02:17:31.000I mean, they've been monitoring your fucking heart rate and checking your resting heart rate and checking your blood and your heart rate variability and what your nutrient levels are.
02:17:40.000You're fucking finely tuned for get in there and go.
02:17:45.000And if you're not, if you didn't cover any of those bases, you're gonna know.
02:17:50.000The back of your head, you're gonna know.
02:17:51.000Like I'm gonna give it my best, but boy, I don't have a big gas tank, and I could have trained harder and I I'm I'm I'm I could so damn excited about this.
02:18:00.000This seems like this uh uh the blind spot that still is there to be taken advantage of for preparing for peak performance.
02:18:09.000Daryl Royal, coach of the University of Texas that won a couple national championships here at Texas and always said if you got twelve games in the year.
02:18:19.000You can expect for your team to be at peak performance level.
02:18:28.000You want to make sure that those two Saturdays are against the toughest teams.
02:18:32.000You want to make sure that the other ones where they're like, ah, okay, they they did well, but they didn't play to their peak performance are against the good teams, and you want to do your best to make sure that the days that they're off, you're playing the shitty teams that you can beat, even when you're not really there.
02:18:46.000That seems like so much more opportunity for that number to rise today to have a much higher number that you can be ready for peak performance.
02:18:55.000Who are the best preparers in I don't know, MMA in your mind?
02:19:02.000Well, all the champions when you get to a championship level, when you get to like Alishandre Pantojo, or when you get to uh, you know, Islam Makachev.
02:19:11.000When you get to like that level, they're all you're at a championship level, they're all they all have impeccable pre preparation.
02:19:21.000So the the the team behind it's measured, it's time, this is Yeah.
02:19:26.000They're all dialed in with diet, they're dialed in with their weight, they're dialed in with strength and conditioning, They're dialed in with their sparring.
02:19:52.000Some of them, like we had this guy Brandon Epstein the other day that um he works with quite a few UFC fighters, and he's got a very specific protocol that he mentally prepares them for and he coaches them through things and and sets up like a way to visualize and see yourself performing and see yourself doing things and how you how you view your performance, like and to get you into a mindset where once you get into that octagon, you're locked into this pathway.
02:20:18.000Instead of like straying and letting anxiety and fear overcome you, which can happen to fighters.
02:20:23.000But then there's other guys that don't have any coaches for that at all.
02:20:27.000They just have the mindset already and they're comfortable with what they have and they just stay disciplined and just go in there.
02:20:50.000Technology, um just understanding nutritional balances, understanding like when you do a nutrient analysis of your blood work, like oh, you're deficient in niacin, is this is your probably you're wearing down, you don't have enough B12 in your system, making sure you get the the correct amount of protein.
02:21:10.000Like you can't you can't miss any of those things if you want to achieve peak performance.
02:21:16.000You have to have everything, your hydration, your electrolytes, everything has to be dialed in.
02:21:20.000Your sleep, which is one of the biggest ones.
02:21:23.000Like this is like a lot of these young guys.
02:21:25.000The problem is they still go out and party, they're still hanging out with girls till two o'clock in the morning and then they're at training at 8 a.m.
02:21:33.000Like you can't do that and be a professional and expect to be world class or expect to beat the guys who are just as good as you but get that preparation.
02:22:10.000Seems to be I think we're just evolving that way.
02:22:13.000They also have the benefit of watching people do it before them and do it really well so they aspire to that level and then to surpass that level, whereas those people were pioneers.
02:22:23.000Larry Byrd didn't have a lot of people to watch play basketball before Larry Bird.
02:23:20.00090 years from now, I'll probably be, if there's humans, they'll probably be far better.
02:23:27.000You know, experiments that have happened in the NFL.
02:23:31.000You know, and uh, I think at these I think this is correct, but I was always a Washington, it was then the Redskins fan.
02:23:37.000And uh I think it was nineteen eighty-six or nineteen eighty-eight, they had the heaviest offensive line, and they averaged two eighty-six.
02:23:46.000Somewhere around there, those numbers.
02:27:05.000What is the boxing weight class that's like below heavyweight?
02:27:08.000There's cruiser weight, but then there's a new one.
02:27:10.000There's a recent one over the past few years that they've developed.
02:27:16.000But that's one thing that boxing does a much better job with, I think, is providing fighters the correct weight class where they can compete in.
02:30:51.000You don't want someone who's like looking at the clock, wants to leave, someone is just like doesn't feel like they're being appreciated enough.
02:30:58.000You want someone who's like fully all in on their work.
02:31:01.000Do you think there's been a there's theories about with AI coming that now more than ever that's what you need is the the one that's knows a little that has more of a liberal art education.
02:31:13.000I know I know, I know I know a little about a lot of things, and I can hit many different avenues rather than be an expertise in one certain thing.
02:31:19.000I mean it's like just what, six years ago.
02:31:22.000You tour the campuses that were like computer programming.
02:31:34.000So what specifics are the jobs or the creations or vocations that are gonna be out there for our youth here coming up that are gonna be like, that's how you're gonna make it.
02:32:18.000Yeah, it's gonna be really fucking weird.
02:32:20.000It's gonna be really weird for Hollywood.
02:32:22.000I mean, you've seen some of these these films that they've seen the old Star Wars that they're doing, they're remaking Star Wars with AI with old Luke Skywalker.
02:32:31.000Like when he was young, like when Luke Skywalker's they're doing completely new scenes that look exactly like HD versions of Star Trek Star Wars in 1975.
02:32:57.000There's a lot of weirdness With music, there's a lot of weirdness with literature, you're gonna have all sorts of AI.
02:33:06.000So no one knows what's going to survive this.
02:33:09.000I think I assume that a bunch of people at the end of the day are gonna get really sick of artificially created things and want something that they know was made by a person.
02:33:19.000Whether it's a book that is made by a person or a song, like an Oliver Angular.
02:33:23.000You think we're gonna want a tangible.
02:34:05.000Because who no one knows what the capabilities of these things are gonna be.
02:34:09.000Well, and the the the tech, the uh the AI tech companies keep saying, No, trust is a lot of jobs are gonna be lost, but AI is going to create so many other jobs.
02:34:21.000But I haven't heard him anyone answer what those jobs are going to be.
02:34:43.000So they just it just keeps getting more and more capable.
02:34:46.000They we don't know where this is going.
02:34:49.000So if you're in college right now, like I mean it's so cliche to say follow your dream, but really do follow your fucking dream, because that might be the only thing that you've got.
02:35:00.000Because if you think you're just gonna get a really good job in an industry that might be completely wiped out in three years by AI.
02:35:22.000I think it's universal basic income is probably the only way to solve, at least on the short term, where how we're gonna lose a lot of stuff.
02:35:30.000Look at you, man, you got a lot of little tabs in there.
02:36:10.000Um it's kind of based on uh um it's called it's based on extra credit, kind of when relying on fate or extra credit that we get that sometimes we rely on the extra credit or participation trophies is where this one kind of started for me.
02:38:49.000We love like I all my best friends, all my favorite people had terrible chaotic childhoods.
02:38:55.000And they all became very interesting people.
02:38:57.000But I don't want my kids to have a terrible chaotic childhood.
02:38:59.000I want to have a like a wonderful love-filled, you know, bountiful childhood.
02:39:05.000But that comes with well, I think they have to find things that they uh that they find that are difficult that they get engrossed with the they that they really love to pursue.
02:40:22.000And by the way, if you don't ever go through that, then you don't understand how to lose, so you never develop a healthy ability to manage competitiveness.
02:41:23.000I think uh I think the number's 30 people or so died.
02:41:26.000Um Jamie Lee Curtis heard this story on MPR and went to Jason Bloom and Jason Bloom went to Paul Greengrass, who's a director of Captain Phillips, uh United 93, um Black Sunday.
02:41:39.000Um really good action director, but also with a good personal dramatic story in it.
02:41:44.000And then they came to me for it, and there were a lot of heroic people uh that at that time that went ran towards the crisis instead of away from the crisis, but this one particular story about this bus driver and this teacher that uh um got twenty-two kids to safety was the story we picked to tell.
02:42:09.000And um we went and shot it in Santa Fe.
02:42:11.000This guy that uh this guy that I play is uh um oh here's the trailer.
02:42:25.000So um this guy, Kevin in our story, comes back home because his dad has passed away and he's gonna take care of his widowed mother and try to reunite with his son, which by the way, check this out, you know.
02:42:38.000My mom plays my mom, and Levi plays my son.
02:43:32.000A teacher, their teacher gets on the bus, and this is their story of about eight hours of going through hell and how and if they they got out of it.
02:43:41.000And r really awesome adrenaline pumped action, which you're gonna get from Greengrass and a story like that.
