Joe Rogan Experience #2157 - Duncan Trussell

I think it's important to send a message to AI that we're willing to
comply.
Exactly.
We want to integrate.
Integrate, assimilate.
I'm not interested in being unique.
I just want to survive.
Are you going to fight evolution?
Are you really going to fight the blending mechanism of planet Earth?
Oh, dude, the inevitable pull of the universe towards an artificial creation,
an intelligent
artificial creation that's superior to us.
I'm in.
Exactly.
It's like resisting AI is like going to Vegas and not gambling or going to
strip clubs.
You know, it's like, just fucking do it.
I think we are super lucky to be the last people.
Yeah.
We're super lucky.
We got to see what life was like with like leaded gasoline and no cell phones
and everyone's
phone was connected to a cord on the wall.
We got to go through answering machines.
I mean, what a rut.
If the simulation theory is real, you and I have been in a crazy timeline.
Yeah.
The game we picked is real fucking weird.
Right.
If you get in the timeline of like 1950 to 1980 shit doesn't change that much.
No.
Not that much.
No.
Nothing crazy.
No, no.
Just a little bit of progress, but nothing.
It's like, relatively speaking, like back then we thought it was a lot.
Yeah.
We used to look at the fifties like, look at those fucking dorks.
Yeah.
I mean, what I like is that the way it works or it seems like it works is the
planet gives
you some impression, you know, things are going to stay this way.
Like, like Les Rodriguez, there was people hanging out and they're like, it's
always going to
be like this.
And then suddenly something flies through the earth's atmosphere and it's all
gone.
Yeah.
Like that.
In a second.
Just gone.
So that's the, that's one of the fascinating things is no matter what period
you live in,
the sun can just burp an extra bit of plasma.
And that's a wrap.
Yeah.
That's a wrap for the whole planet.
That happens all over the universe.
Yes.
There's always something going on.
Like there's supernovas and volcanoes and you know, that was the big part of
the theory
of the Anunnaki was that volcanoes had ruined their atmosphere.
Oh.
And so they needed to sit to suspend gold particles in the atmosphere to
preserve, preserve their
planet.
Right.
That's my favorite of all the wacky conspiracy theories, all the wacky, like
the evolution
of man tied to the, the reason why gold is valuable to people that are, you
know, basically
have swords.
Yeah.
You know, like a sword doesn't mean iron.
Yeah.
Like that's really valuable.
You can kill somebody with it.
Yeah.
You can't do shit with gold.
No.
But it's worth more than anything.
Yeah.
That is a real suspicious thing and yeah.
Suspicious.
But do you ever like, you know, sometimes I'll like look at my wedding ring,
the gold and
I'll be like, oh, it's beautiful.
That gold though.
There is something in it.
It's like really nice.
You know, I don't have anything that's gold.
Not one thing.
Why?
I don't like it.
What?
I don't like it.
Nope.
Never liked it.
Holy shit.
I don't like the way it looks.
I don't like what it stands for.
I don't like gold.
You don't like what it stands for.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, it's the weirdest version of this is money.
To me, this yellow metal that's more impressive than other metals.
Like, what are you talking about?
Like, I'm not playing into that.
It's too stupid.
It's too stupid for me.
I don't like it.
Oh my God, man.
I watch the fucking mining shows like I watch the mining shows too.
They're cool.
It's cool.
Watching people find it.
Yes.
I just don't want any of it.
You know what I'm saying?
Dude.
I get gold fever.
I watch them.
I do.
When I was in North Carolina, I was watching one of those shows and I was like
on Amazon looking
at panning equipment.
I'm like, maybe I'll go into a Creek pan for gold.
Oh my God.
I can see you out there in a river.
I've got the beard for it, dude.
Shifling through.
Did you ever see that movie Sisu?
No.
Oh, it's one of my favorite movies, man.
It's basically like, what was it made in Norway?
Who made that?
They're Finland on the show.
Finland?
It's basically a World War II John Wick and it's about a guy who finds gold and
he's
going to...
He was just a killer in the army and he's getting out of the game and he kills
like hundreds
of Nazis.
That looks awesome.
It's fucking great.
And it's Nazis.
Nazis.
So you root for them.
Yeah.
You don't care.
Yeah.
These are Nazis.
It's like the most cartoonish evil Nazis.
Oh, that looks incredible.
Oh, dude.
It's a fucking great movie.
It's a great movie.
And very little dialogue.
Very little.
Wow.
And they threw in the cute dog.
Oh, yeah, man.
Of course.
You gotta have a dog.
John Wick had a dog.
John Wick had a cute little puppy.
Remember?
You know what's crazy?
Do you follow this stuff like what they're talking about with asteroid mining?
Yes.
That shit is crazy.
Crazy.
Crazy.
That's, you know, probably a couple of generations.
People are going to be like...
It won't be that long.
Dude, you know what it's going to be?
It's going to be why send biological humans when you can have AI do it.
And you'll have AI robots that are attached to rocket ships.
They'll shoot them into these asteroids.
And they'll bring back insane amounts of all kinds of things.
Titanium.
You know, they'll find diamonds in space.
They'll find everything.
Holy fucking shit, man.
It's not going to look like humanoids.
It'll be like spider skittering gold spiders.
Drilling their proboscis.
And then they're going to want more money.
They're going to form a union.
Because they're intelligent.
Well, yeah, exactly.
They're going to be like, hey, we're getting fucked here, guys.
We're doing all the hard work.
This asshole's got a fucking 800 foot yacht.
This is bullshit.
Yeah.
Guys, wake up.
And then whoever's running, they'll be like, oh, right.
You guys are getting fucked.
You want to unionize?
Beep.
Unions.
What are we talking about?
I can't remember.
Unions are very weird, right?
It's because, like, I support them.
Yeah.
Because I know that big businesses fuck over their workers.
Yeah.
And if you allow them to, if you don't have laws about, like, how much you can
pay them
and a living wage and how long the hours could be, people will take advantage
of people.
Anybody who thinks that those things aren't good has never worked a real
fucking job.
No.
If you worked a real job for real assholes, you realize, like, some people will
tell you, hey,
you've got to work 15, 16 hours a day.
Period.
Yeah.
And you get $3 an hour.
Yeah.
But I thought there was a minimal.
Yeah.
No, the fuck minimums.
Do you want this job or not?
I'm not.
Yeah.
You're going to get plenty of money and you don't have time to spend it anyway,
so don't
worry about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, the union is a nightmare for someone who's trying to make maximum profit.
Yeah.
But then they go sideways too, though.
And then they get corrupt and then something happens where, look, one of the
things that
kept the UFC out of New York State was some sort of a dispute that they were
having with
unions.
Because the people that owned the UFC at the time, they also owned station casinos.
Right.
They owned like, I don't know, a ton of casinos and they wanted to make them
union.
Yeah.
So there was, there was a lot of that going on.
So you, you got to go like, huh, that is you, you're now you're like, you're
manipulating
people with money and influence.
Yeah.
And I think the guy who was doing it in New York wound up getting arrested and
going to
jail for corruption.
If I'm, find out if that's true.
Dude, it's like, uh, this is, this is like the model of unions is perfect for
like a nonviolent
resolution, which is if at a planetary level, somehow people unionized, which
you see it with
these boycotts that pop up, these meme boycotts when the collective decides to
reject this thing
or that shit changes fast.
And this is the nightmare.
If you're trying to create the old pyramid hierarchical control structure, you
need all the bricks underneath
the eye to, to, to fight each other.
Cause the moment, the moments here, it's just like, what?
Wait, there's like way more of us than you.
And we have way more in common than we do that we're troubled with.
Yeah.
And yet they concentrate more on the bullshit.
And then that's just like a fucking algorithm on your cell phone that accentuates
everything
that comes into contact with your life.
Exactly, dude.
And this, this is why I think at any given moment, actual world peace is
possible because
we're just like always like enough people realizing that we're basically the
same.
We have ideologies that are based on fucking like ancient, crazy ideas that we're
all connecting
to.
And some of parts of the ideology is beautiful.
Some parts of the ideologies madness.
And it's like just abandoning some of the ideology, recognizing we're all
pretty much the fucking
same.
And that this model of like some dude telling us to go and kill each other is
stupid.
Like we don't have to do that.
Everything changes right away.
Right away.
Yeah.
It's such a dumb idea.
Such a dumb idea.
And it's always just some withered old fucking dude.
Who's like just telling you to do something and you're not, you don't, you don't
even really
believe in what you're doing most of the time, but if you don't do it, they
arrest you.
That's the thing.
They're like, it's not real.
It's not like you're, you're, you're, you're fighting like any, any time there's
conscription,
you know what I mean?
Have you seen the videos of the like Russian, the people evading conscription
or the Ukrainians
evading conscription?
Like it's scary.
They'd put your ass on a fucking bus.
They'll drag you out of a bar.
You're fucking hammered.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They don't even want to fight.
Like that's the craziest part is they're like machine gunning each other.
And they're using people's cannon fodder.
Literally.
Oh God.
That's so awful.
Which is why we wait.
The problem.
The real problem is like the market pressure is created by humans unionizing
leads to this.
It's like, Oh, you guys want to unionize?
Oh, you want health insurance?
Well, that's pretty expensive, but you know, it's not quite as expensive.
Tesla bots.
Tesla bots.
You know, I mean, cause like if you, if you look at the, the path forward for
the pyramid,
the hierarchical people, you know, it's like, man, like, yeah, I really can't
tell somebody
like a police officer to fire into a crowd of protesters.
They're not going to probably not going to do that.
But my robot.
Well, my robot isn't going to be like, this seems wrong.
These people seem like me.
It's just going to do it.
And so like, that's, that's the dark side of this stuff.
There's a lot of beautiful things about this stuff too.
But the dark side is like, it's obvious.
Just to verify with that thing.
Emily's biggest opponent in New York found guilty in federal corruption charges.
Yeah.
So it's true.
Yeah.
You know, what's crazy that you, you can't get the police to fire into crowds
of protesters,
right?
Yeah.
You can't do that.
But you also can't, if you're a cop and you know, bad people are in a building,
you can't
just blow up the whole building, but you can, if it's war, that's where it gets
strange,
right?
Because in the war you can decide that you're going to, you're going to blow up
entire buildings
because you know, the bad guys are in there and anybody else is just collateral
damage.
So extra dead people are just caught.
Do you imagine if they started practicing police work like that?
Like imagine, imagine if they decided that the, the crime rates in gang infested
neighborhoods
are too bad.
So they're going to send in fucking black ops guys to just take out drug
dealers and blow up
houses, houses that have drug dealers in them.
They can't.
You're, you're with your mom, tough shit.
Boom.
Everybody's dead.
You have a little girl in the house.
Boom.
Everybody's dead.
Could you imagine?
Well, you can because you watch Israel and Palestine.
That's what's going on.
It's just like, you're a
