Joe Rogan Experience #2418 - Chris Williamson

the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day
feel a bit less shit about myself to stave off death well doesn't it do
something for your mind
doesn't it help you yeah of course it of course it does but when you compare it
with
life and death there's a little bit of a difference oh yeah yeah for sure
yeah there's a definitely a difference but uh just for mental health that's the
main reason to do it
for me it's mental health it's it's such a difference between not doing it and
doing it
like two different totally different people you got notes on that thing or
something always you
gotta get one of these babies little kickstand jammies those are the shit oh
sexy look at that
sexy sexy yeah all right all right encourages you to waste your time watching
youtube videos
yeah without having to hold it because it props up yeah beautiful you feel like
a fool sitting there
staring at your camera holding it in your hand i always said like if there was
a drug that made
people stare at their hand for six hours a day everybody'd be like oh my god we're
was this really
a problem in this country people were just staring at their hands yeah well we
looked at that last time
that we were on we had uh the photo of that that guy that artist that had taken
images of people
looking at their phones yes with no with their phone and then remove the phones
it's such a crazy thing we're doing and now of course there's ar glasses that
are eventually going
to put whatever tick tock feed in like one eye where you're watching someone in
the other eye
have you ever tried those i've messed around with them a little bit uh zuck was
here and uh he let
me try the new ones that haven't been released yet they were really interesting
and you're you move a
cursor around with your eyeballs and you can do things with your fingers you
can pinch and spread things
and stuff with your fingers and and play games with your fingers you can like
it's not quite as responsive
as you'd like it to be but it's very beta you know it's pretty cool it is
pretty cool but also
we're losing humanity we're gonna we're gonna be taken in we're gonna
incorporate with the machine
yeah well i don't know i think a lot of people feel like that would be a better
version of the life
that they have and that's the saddest thing that um people people of older
generations look at young
guys and girls and how much time they spend online and they think this is
ridiculous why are they spent
why are they caring so much about what is occurring on the internet but they
don't realize people spend
more time on screens than they do asleep so the digital world is the real world
for these people
like the digital world is more real than the real world is oh i didn't think of
it that way
there are a lot of people that do spend more time on screens than they do
asleep that's really common
yeah i like to balance that out i'd like to spend half as much time on my phone
as i do asleep
well that would be a good way to enforce it right you have to you log how much
sleep time you've had
yeah so i'm gonna start sleeping 12 hours a day so i can spend six hours
wasting it's quite a resource
if you think about it like a like a lack of an appreciation of your resource
because the resource
of your time and your attention it's very valuable and you can convert it into
all sorts of amazing
skills and information and you know you know knowledge and change your whole
life or you can just stare
stupid shit all day long it's so compelling that dude it's been designed by the
most profitable
companies on the planet with the smartest behavioral scientists in history like
it's an unfair fight
it really is an unfair fight and that's why
sort of you could not do it though oh you need to lean in but it's like oh
there is an there is way more
willpower you need to use in order to be able to not than like just whatever
the course of natural human history is
or natural human behavior yeah it's so easy just or alternatively you can dye
the venice river green
that's what happens when you don't have enough phone battery
i said that to chris today greta thurnberg she dyed the venice canals green to
protest what a lack of
action and and climate change yeah pull back a a call to pull back carbon fuel
in europe and they
didn't just do it in venice they did it in 10 cities around italy but venice
has obviously got this
gorgeous waterway it's an entire city built on water bro yeah that's hard to
see how ugly it is
jamie i could send you a video of it she because i sent chris a video it's uh
you know it's just
like how much attention do you need lady okay stop sky news australia refers to
her as a swedish doom goblin
sky news is the one that's weirdly pro republican american politics super right
wing it's like
who's funding that there's no way that there's that much of an appetite in australia
for american
politics so that's what it looks like that's disgusting i was there this summer
it's
fucking beautiful it's so venice is so gorgeous and so ancient and so
interesting and to have this
self-important twat pour a bunch of green dye into that water you should go to
jail for that
like you're you're ruining this experience for thousands and thousands of
people who don't not
just the ones who live in that amazing place but the ones who get to visit i
mean someone figured out
a way to make a whole city by shoving pylons into the ground and they did it a
long time ago it's all
wood the whole city is stacked up on wood they take these wood poles they shove
them into the ground
it's a specific type of wood that doesn't rot when it gets wet and waterlogged
it actually hardens
i forget what kind of wood it is they i watched this whole thing on it but i
mean it's very stable
i mean sometimes they get some flooding like one time we were there and like
the the lobby of this place
was flooded it does flood but it's also it's so beautiful and the architecture
is so amazing it's
such a gorgeous place and it just relaxes you like instantly when you're there
like wow i just want
to have a espresso and eat some pasta and just chill out summer it's one of the
most beautiful places i've
ever been and this dummy decides to just pour green dye and how much green dye
did you put in there and what
kind of an effect is that going to have on life so they claimed that it was
environmentally safe
rah-rah i don't know how environmentally safe anything of that green color can
be uh but yeah
what was it 48 hour ban and 170 fine that's it yeah yeah wow i should you
should go to jail for a night
i think about this a lot man the um in some ways i understand why the rhetoric
gets more and more
inflammatory so if you care about an issue if you really really think that this
issue is important
and people don't listen you start to shout a bit louder right and then you
shout a bit louder and then
you shout a bit louder the british are coming the british are coming you know
who first said that
wasn't paul revere bonnie blue who's that she is the lady that slept with 1057
men in a day oh that
poor lady yeah um so people don't listen do you ever see uh don't look up that
movie that's very funny
by the way i missed that joke because i didn't know jamie got it who that was
jamie got it from over
there even with the kind of proud that i can't recognize her name though
honestly i'll take that
it's probably a good sign um people don't so uh don't look up that film with leonardo
dicaprio a
couple of years ago you remember it was like an asteroid coming in oh yeah yeah
yeah yeah and um it's
a funny movie right like half funny but kind of it's supposed to be a comment
on the impending doom of
climate change and nobody's listening right yeah they're not correct that's the
problem you know who
are those two gentlemen that we had in recently jamie the guy from mit and the
other guy from was he from
yale or stanford where was he from anyway these two brilliant scientists who
have analyzed the data
and one of them was going over the actual the understanding the equations that
you would need
to understand in order to really be able to calculate what is having an effect
on the climate and what is
how many different factors there are and all of them working synergistically in
some weird
unexplainable way and then the cold hard reality of climate data over the past
x amount of millions
of years where it's always done this glaciation and then the glaciers they recede
and then you get
higher ocean levels it's like constant every 12 500 plus years it goes up and
down and up and down and
and it never stays static ever it's never static and the real fear is not
global warming the real fear
is global cooling why global cooling kills everything and we got that close at
one point in history to
having such a low oxygen level at this point on this planet and such a low
carbon dioxide level because
there was no plant food right that these fucking plants almost died we almost
lost all life on this planet
we've gone like a few degrees from that happening this is the glaciers are
fucking scary ice ages are scary
when it gets warm you just move and i know that sucks if you're living in a
city of 20 million people but
it hasn't happened yet and they've been talking about it forever that stupid
movie an inconvenient truth
was wrong about everything he should have to give back every penny he made from
that movie
you were wrong about everything you scared the out of everybody and you were
100 wrong one of
the problems i think people have is if you really care about something and you're
convinced whether
your conviction is incorrect or not you're convinced by it so what you do you
say a thing people don't
listen right say it a bit louder people still don't listen right say it a bit
louder again people still
aren't listening and the problem is it's a misunderstanding about what compels
and convinces other humans
what we think is if people aren't listening if i shout louder they're going to
pay attention
what we don't realize is that actually turns everybody off because if you just
see someone
throwing soup over a van gogh painting uh turning the canals of venice green gluing
themselves to the
m25 in london and stopping people from being able to get to work like it gets
attention but you're not
looking for attention you're looking for conviction you're trying to compel
people to believe the thing that
you believe and i think that it does the opposite and i understand why it's so
seductive because you
think making it's cool to your own side to do something uh flaming sword wielding
truth teller i'm
going to charge through and look at how cool it is but making somebody feel
stupid or embarrassed or
inconvenienced or upset is a really bad way to change minds so i think if
people really care
about changing minds they need to realize and assuming that they think that
they're correct they need to
realize that like intellectual chasm from where they are and where other people
are and you go okay
i'm going to take you one step at a time so even if you were to accept that the
science and all of the
stuff that the climate change people believe in is accurate i still think that
the strategies that
they're using aren't going to be effective because i think it turns more people
off right and they're
scolding they're shrieking scolding and they're not the type of people that you
want to talk to
so you avoid them hey looking down from one home looking down from one yeah it's
my british heritage
um yeah it's it doesn't cause you to feel inclined to support them the opposite
it causes you to want to
burn tires yeah i want to buy spray paint and hair spray just blow it by my car
have you heard of the
cassandra complex you know this is no fucking brilliant dude so uh in ancient greek
mythology
cassandra is uh given the gift of being able to see the future by apollo and
then she rejects his
advances so he curses her and he says that for the rest of time you're still
goin
