Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
But if you want to sort of see like a vision of the future, it's like basically
the top 20 and even the top 100 is like totally dominated by China.
Really?
Yeah, this is like China and a little bit of Korea and Taiwan.
So are you in the top 20 in the world? Wow, in Diablo.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you want to tell everybody your handle?
No, no, don't tell them.
Don't tell them, it's not worth it.
Well, they actually listed me with my actual name in the list.
Oh, did they really?
Oh, interesting.
But yeah, there's only two Americans in the top 20.
The rest, almost everyone is from Asia otherwise.
We were talking about something that I think is a really good, because people
always think that video games are frivolous.
But what you were saying, I think that's really important is it's so difficult
that it requires you to only think about that and it can like relieve stress.
Yeah.
It can take out the rest of the world because it's so hard.
Yeah.
You can only think about that.
Yeah, I mean, if I play a video game on extreme difficulty, then I have to
concentrate fully on the game.
And it has a calming effect.
Yeah.
It sort of chills down.
And I mean, you mentioned, I think, and many people are like, if you play
martial arts or you play pool, like something that forces you, it's like, I
think anything that forces you to concentrate fully actually has a calming
effect.
I find it just sort of like, kind of a mental restoring effect.
Yeah.
It's like, it's good.
Jiu-jitsu is like that.
Archery is like that as well.
Like when you're shooting a bow, you have to, there's so many moving things and
you're trying, you have to think only of it and it cleans the mind.
It cleans the mind.
Yeah, exactly.
I was watching, I was reading this study about surgeons where they found that
surgeons who regularly play video games make less errors.
Well, it's, I mean, video games require manual dexterity.
Yeah.
So it makes sense.
Completely makes sense.
I mean, actually, if somebody was like epic at video games, I'd say like their
surgical skills can be very good because in order to be good at video games,
any kind of fast reaction video games.
Look at this, 32% fewer errors, 24% faster and scored 26% better overall than
their non-player colleagues.
Oh, I believe that for sure.
That's incredible.
Like that, you should be required in medical school to play video games.
Don't you think?
If somebody is like a top ranked video game player and they say they're a
surgeon, I'd be like plus one, plus two type of thing.
Oh, top ranked for sure.
But this isn't even top ranked.
This is just people who play.
Well, your manual dexterity has to be extremely high.
Yes.
So you're looking at things on a screen.
You're reacting and sometimes you've got like 10 milliseconds to react.
Yes.
And so if somebody's got incredible reaction times in manual dexterity, they're
obviously going to be a good surgeon.
Imagine if there was a course that you could take.
That course would promote, you would be 26% better.
Yeah.
Everyone would have to take that course.
Sure.
Why would you want a surgeon that's less prepared?
You would say, hey, Bob, did you take this course?
You didn't take this course.
Don't you understand this course makes you 26% better?
Sure.
You would have to take it.
Everyone should have to play video games.
Yeah.
If you want to be a surgeon.
Well, I think it certainly would be a very good test to see if somebody can't
play video games well.
That means, I mean, because you've got to move both hands simultaneously.
Right.
You've got to react to something very fast than on the screen.
So, and if your keystrokes or your mouse clicks or whatever are wrong, then you
lose the game.
Right.
So if somebody has a good rank in video games, I would say that necessarily
their manual dexterity must be extremely good.
Well, it's so hard.
The fine motor skills have to be excellent.
If you think about like Starcraft or any game like Quake, any game where a lot
of people are playing, to rise to the top, you have to be exceptional.
Period.
As a human being.
Yeah.
There has to be something exceptional about you.
Yeah.
Actually, if I mention Quake, way back in the day, I was one of the world's
best Quake players.
I know, we talked about this.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I loved Quake.
Yeah, yeah.
In my final semester in college, I probably put more time into Quake than all
my college classes.
When I was on news radio, all of the writers were super nerds.
They were very, very fun guys.
And they had a LAN set up at the studio where they all played Quake.
I had never played video games.
Yeah.
And I would go in with the writers and just kind of hang out with them.
We'd get silly.
And then we would all start playing video games and playing Quake against each
other.
And I got addicted.
Like hardcore.
Like hardcore.
I got a T1 line installed in my house.
Yeah.
I went hardcore.
Yeah, exactly.
You're checking how many milliseconds of latency you have.
Oh, yeah.
I was fully addicted.
I was making my own computers.
I was going to Fry's Hardware and buying motherboards and putting everything
together.
And, you know, it was too much of a time suck, though.
Yeah.
I'm an obsessive person.
I can't get involved.
Like I can't play golf.
No, golf is too slow for me.
I mean, a lot of people find golf good.
And I mean, I guess if you think of it like it's, I guess if you're saying you're
going to walk outdoors with friends.
Yeah.
And occasionally hit a ball and you're just as an outdoor walk, then that's
cool.
And this requires concentration when you're hitting the ball, but it's too slow
for me.
Nothing compares to video games in terms of like the amount of feedback you get.
Like the sensory overload you get when you're looking at a large high-resolution
screen.
You have a fast computer.
You have headphones on.
Then you're hearing sounds from here and sounds behind you and rockets are
flying by you.
Yeah.
It's, there's nothing like that.
Yeah.
But I think golf still is like, Jamie will tell you, Jamie's an addict.
He's a golf nut.
It's super addictive.
And it takes like eight hours a day.
It's, yes.
Once you get into golf, I think, I guess any sport, it gets super addictive.
So, but for me, the intensity of video games is hard to beat.
Yes.
And people dismiss it because they think it's just a waste of time.
But we're showing like real-world benefits of people playing video games.
Yeah.
If you want to be a drone operator, it's the only game in town.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, you have to be really good at video games.
Yeah, for sure.
So, in fact, I can actually tell like what my mental acuity is if I just play,
if I play
a very hard video game.
So, if I'm trying to sort of get like an extremely good clear time in Diablo or
something like
that, or, you know, a first-person shooter, whatever the case may be.
Like if I can tell that I'm tired or my brain's not working as well as it
should, it's like
a mental calibration.
You can tell immediately like what is, how good is your mental state?
Right.
Right.
And, you know, so it's like if you're trying to play really well, like if you
play late
at night and you're tired, you just play badly.
Right.
And you can say, okay, you may think that your brain is working well, but it
isn't.
Yeah.
Because you play the video game and you're like, you suck.
So, okay.
Yeah.
You're putting it under stress.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're really stress testing it.
You stress test it.
Yeah.
Because like sometimes it's like, oh, I think I'm fine.
But then play the game like, okay, I'm not, I'm like 10% below what I should be.
That's how I feel about workouts for sure.
Like that's how I knew I had COVID or I knew everyone in my family had COVID
and I was trying
to not get COVID.
And so I was working out, I was like, something's up.
Like I felt fine normally, but then during exercise, I was like, okay, I can
tell there's
something wrong here.
So let's just like back off, relax.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like people who don't stress test their mind, they think they're operating
on the
same level all the time.
Like sometimes I come in here and I can't form a fucking sentence and I don't
know what
it is.
It's like, what is going on?
So it's just like, sleep's not, maybe it's like what sleep wasn't that good or
something
like that.
Yeah.
Something like that.
Or I'm too busy and it's just, it's not, the words aren't coming out.
Like I know how to talk, I talk professionally and I can't fucking talk.
It's like, I mean, sleep is, is, is, is massive.
I mean, yeah, so if I can tell me, did I get a good night's sleep or not?
If I, if I just play like a video game for like five minutes, I'm like, okay,
my sleep
wasn't that good because it's my, my, you know, and then sometimes they don't,
your brain will recover through the day and it's like, okay, like an hour or
two after
waking up, it's better.
Yeah.
Cause your brain does kind of recover from bad night's sleep a little bit.
Do you know what it really helps?
Creatine apparently.
Does it?
Yeah.
Creatine is actually a nootropic, believe it or not.
There's a lot of like benefits of creatine that are really weird.
Are there any downsides?
No, no.
It's a natural part of food.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Especially women for women, apparently, especially postmenopausal women.
It's very beneficial.
Okay.
And, uh, there's, but there's a lot of like cognitive benefits.
And one of the big ones that they found recently is performance when sleep
deprived, mental performance
when sleep deprived increases pretty measurably when you supplement with creatine.
Is creatine naturally occurring in like steak or?
Yeah, it's like naturally occurring in meat, I think.
I think that's where it's coming from.
I think it's a primarily an animal based thing.
Yeah.
But like I did switch to like steak and eggs for breakfast and I found that's
like a power up.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we're all overrun with carbohydrates.
Yeah, totally.
And you like carbohydrates make this big crash, the rise and the crash, the
rise and the crash.
You stay flat if you eat like a primarily high protein, high fat diet.
Yeah.
Your body runs off ketosis, essentially.
I mean, so I just have like steak and eggs, no bread or anything.
Yeah.
It's great.
It's great, actually.
It's a power up, I'd say.
People dismiss this whole carnivore diet thing because in our heads, there's a
lot of propagandists
that put this thing out there that animal agriculture is the number one
contributor to global warming.
Yeah, it's rubbish.
Bullshit.
Bullshit.
It's hot bullshit.
It doesn't matter.
Not only is it hot bullshit, but the real problem is factory farming.
Regenerative farming is carbon neutral if it doesn't sequester carbon.
The animals are not going to make any difference to global warming.
Like none.
No, it's bullshit.
Zero, zero, zero, nothing.
Do you think that that's just propaganda because of people that have a vested
interest in like
plant-based meat products and things along those lines, green energy?
I think that's part of it.
You know, you're generally going to get people pushing to avoid meat.
Like some people just, you know, maybe they've got a financial interest.
Maybe they're just like vegetarians or vegans or whatever.
Ideological interests.
Ideological reasons.
But it's not going to make any difference to global warming or, you know, the
CO2 concentration
atmosphere, really, if people eat fewer steaks.
It doesn't matter.
It's irrelevant.
Irrelevant.
I want to just be super clear about that.
Yeah.
It will not matter.
You will not even be able to measure it.
Okay?
That's how irrelevant it is.
Isn't it funny that that's...
Unmeasurable.
Irrelevant.
A heretic speaking.
Like, that's crazy talk now.
Nowadays, it's like you have to say that we have to eat less meat.
That meat is bad.
No, you can totally eat as much as you want.
It's not going to make a difference.
Sing it.
Sing it.
Tell the world
