Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Showing by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Hello, Duncan.
Hello.
I don't think this is going to work.
Oh my God, I can't see.
Oh, fuck.
I can't, like, I can't see at all.
I don't know how you're supposed to see out of that.
It's a deadly outfit.
I guess I'll just put that on when I want to say something incriminating.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Well, the thought police.
So, pull up that article, Jamie, at the beginning of this podcast.
We should probably go right into this.
Because, apparently, the Department of Homeland Security and Twitter were
working together.
Are we on?
Yeah.
I don't hear me.
There we go.
The Department of Homeland Security was, they had a plan to police information
and they were
working with Twitter in some fashion.
Like, look at this.
Quietly broadening its effort to curve speech it considers dangerous.
Yeah.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
An investigation by The Intercept has found years of internal DHS memos, emails,
and documents
obtained via leaks and an ongoing lawsuit, as well as public documents
illustrate the
expansive effort by the agency to influence the tech platforms.
Shit.
The work, much of which remains unknown to the American public, came into clear
view earlier
this year when DHS announced a new disinformation governance board.
Good Lord.
A panel designed to police misinformation, false information spread unintentionally,
disinformation,
false information spread internally, intentionally, excuse me, and malinformation,
factual information
shared typically out of context with harmful intent.
Malinformation is a weird one.
Malinformation?
Yeah.
Because it's factual, but it's shared typically out of context.
Oh, out of context.
With harmful intent.
That's where you're like, look, you don't understand why we mowed down those
reporters
with a chopper.
It's out of context.
You can't just show the video.
While the board was widely ridiculed, immediately scaled back, and then shut
down within a few
months, other initiatives are underway as DHS pivots to monitoring social media
now
that its original mandate, the war on terror, has been wound down.
So that's been wound down, apparently.
Platforms have got to get comfortable with government.
It's really interesting how hesitant they remain.
Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly.
Look at that.
Platforms have got to get comfortable with government.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
Tim Poole sent me this this morning.
I didn't get a chance to read.
I was in the gym.
Look, you got to get comfortable with government.
Yeah, that's what I've been saying.
Just get comfortable.
Yeah, why aren't you comfortable with government?
Cozy up.
Why aren't you comfortable?
Put on some sweatpants.
Cozy up.
Wow.
That's creepy.
I mean, I guess we all kind of suspected it, though, right?
It's not like anybody...
Is that a shocker?
Well, what Tim Poole said is that Twitter was working with them.
That they...
I guess they weren't being honest about it.
They were working with them.
What were you telling me?
That Jimmy Kimmel tweeted something and tried to delete it?
Yeah, it looks like...
I could be wrong about this, but Kimmel was pissed at Musk...
Why?
...for buying Twitter.
But what does he care?
What is he mad about?
So, basically, like, a lot of people seem to be really upset with Elon for
buying Twitter
because Elon is saying that he's not going to censor Twitter anymore.
He's going to, like, let, you know, all the banned people are going to get back
on, apparently.
You know, it's like they're trying to figure it out, how to do it.
And so, this has upset a lot of people who were happy with the idea that it was
being, like, hyper-moderated.
In a way, I think, that fits in with their politics.
Yes.
That was the idea.
So, it's like...
So, like, their team was in control for a second, and now somebody...
You know what it reminds me of?
It's like when a new booker shows up at a comedy club.
And all the comics start talking shit.
It's, like, scary.
It has been interesting over the years to watch you blossom from the electric
car guy into a fully formed piece of shit.
Wow.
And look, see, it says this tweet was deleted by the tweet author.
Learn more.
He was replying to a tweet that Elon tweeted.
And what was the tweet?
That Elon deleted.
Oh, that was a tweet where it's this...
It's like the Santa Monica Observer or something like that was tweeting
something about the Paul Pelosi attack.
And that Santa Monica Observer has been known to tweet things that aren't
correct, or at least has, or not tweet, publish things that aren't correct, at
least has in one instance that they were citing.
Something about Hillary Clinton.
I don't know.
But, you know, he...
I think what Elon tweeted was there's a tiny chance that we might not be
getting the full story, and then he tweeted that story.
Yeah.
And this is the idea that maybe Paul Pelosi knew this guy, because people have
been trying to pin that guy and say that he was a right-wing MAGA guy.
But didn't he live in, like, some fucking hippie collective, and he made, like,
hemp jewelry?
He did Wu to Q Pipeline.
He went Wu to Q.
So, like, he apparently had some kind of blog or something.
I think he started off Wu, super hippie, ayahuasca, mystical, and then
gradually kind of devolved into Q.
QAnon.
QAnon.
The best analysis I saw of it was a reporter saying that what the real story
here is not, like, is that there's people who are psychotic.
Who are psychotic all over San Francisco from doing so much speed, meth, drugs.
That's the real story.
The real story is that all over, like, the great cities of America, people are,
like, high as a fucking kite and have been for so long that they're, like,
spinning out of control.
And that's what it is.
And that's what it is.
That's the story of stories.
It's like, yeah, sure.
This guy went Wu to Q.
Very common.
It happens.
You start off.
You're, like, into, like, taking supplements.
That leads to a new supplement you've never heard of.
That leads to, like, some weird website you go to.
The next thing you know, you're rubbing weird balm all over your body under a
crystal.
Still fine.
Still cool.
But somewhere along the way, you get on, like, one of these slides that lead
you down into Q.
And then the next thing you know, you're, like, completely, like, deep in that.
So that's what I've heard.
He's Wu to Q.
Wu to Q pipeline.
Yeah.
I like that term.
Is that a new term?
Wu to Q?
I've never heard that before.
It's been floating around for a little bit.
It's just, like, it's just one of the, you know, it's one of the things that
happens.
It's, like, you know, Robert Anton Wilson, the great Robert Anton Wilson, his
recommendation is maintain agnosticism when it comes to the exploration
philosophically of these.
So when you're contemplating this or that, let yourself believe it, but don't
believe it all the way.
Maintain agnosticism.
You can, like, play around with the idea that the Earth is flat.
You can play around with the idea that the Illuminati elite run the planet.
You can play around with any idea you want, in fact, in the great simulator of
your brain.
But don't go all the way.
If you go all the way, that's where you can start, like, spiraling out.
Here, Wu Anon, the creep of QAnon into Southern California's New Age world.
Yeah, that's it.
Oh, wow.
Wu to Q.
Wow.
Wu to Q pipeline, right there.
Okay, so this is a new thing.
You know, I think part of the problem with a lot of these theories is that some
people, I'm just going to try to say this as kindly as possible,
they don't have good brains.
And I say this as a person who has, like, a decent brain.
Yeah.
But I know people with fantastic brains.
It's not, there's no, there's no fairness.
You know, I met this guy the other night.
And this poor guy, I don't know what was wrong with him, but he was, like,
hunched over.
And, you know, he was very, very frail and hunched over.
And whether this is because of a disease or whether this is because, I don't
know what was wrong, something was wrong with him.
And I'm like, this is not fair.
It's not fair.
This guy got just a shit roll of the dice.
Yeah.
And now he has this body that's failing him.
And then you can meet someone like Francis Ngannou, who has this insanely
perfect body.
Like, he's like the super alpha.
Right.
UFC heavyweight champion, 6'6", 265 pounds of just pure athleticism.
Yeah.
It's not fair.
It's not fair.
And then that, the same applies to, I think, everything.
Like, all sorts of aspects of being a human being.
And the same applies to the way your brain works.
And if you're a person who, unfortunately, for no fault of your own, you have
this brain that's, like, not that good.
Yeah.
And it can't discern things that are illogical.
It can't make reasonable conclusions.
Yeah.
It can't look at things objectively.
It just can't.
Right.
It's like a two-gear car.
It's like, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then other people have a Tesla.
And that thing can just sort of maneuver around ideas.
Oh, I see what's going on here.
Oh, this is a conflux of all these conspiracy theories that all come together.
And this person has, unfortunately, adopted these wholesale.
Right.
And hasn't looked into them at all.
And now thinks there's lizard people that are shape changers, that are behind
closed doors, that are running the world.
Yes.
And that are trying to collapse all the societies.
You know, there's a real benefit to letting the fucking culture figure out what's
right and what's wrong.
But along the way, people are going to get tricked.
They're going to get duped.
And some people are going to fall into the hands of very manipulative people
that are very charismatic.
Yeah.
And they have wacky fucking ideas about lizard people or whatever it is.
Whatever.
Look at fucking Heaven's Gate.
Jonestown.
Yep.
Yep.
Fuck.
Think of that.
Like, how out of it do you have to be to get to the point where someone is like,
it's time to drink cyanide.
Or, and, you know, we've been doing the test or something every day for a while.
But how out of it.
Like, if you want to, that's, see, that's what's scary about being human.
We're hackable.
We're fucking hackable.
And people are really good at hacking us.
And you might think you have the most incredible mind of all time.
But you're still susceptible.
In the same way, you've got a great immune system.
Have you ever been hypnotized?
Yeah, I got hypnotized.
My mom hypnotized me and a wart came off my hand.
Isn't that weird?
She was like studying psychology.
She hypnotized me.
I had this wart on this finger.
And then over the next few days, it just kind of like fell off.
Hypnosis is real, man.
Yeah.
It really does work.
But what it is is not what everybody thinks it is.
I think before, well, I should just correct that.
It's not what I thought it was.
I thought, like, you don't know what's going on.
And you go into, like, some sort of a trance.
And the person can get you to do anything.
Give me your ATM code.
But what it really is is, like, it puts you in a state of mind.
Where you're very aware that you're in the state of mind.
And I've been thinking about it a lot.
And I've been thinking about, like, the cult thing a lot.
And just the cult of joining one party or another party, too.
You know, like, deciding you're a conservative or deciding you're a progressive.
I think it's a part of the design of the human animal that got us to cooperate
in tribes.
I think in order for things to work and function, you have to have a very
strong inclination that there's one leader.
Right.
And then, you know, you have to have resistance of that to find the better next
leader.
Right.
And so that's where people get angry at this one person that's running the
whole thing.
But I think that when you scale that out to, like, 300 million people, it just
doesn't work.
How could it?
It doesn't work.
It's chaos.
We didn't design it for that.
Right
