JRE MMA Show #107 with Georges St-Pierre

Joe Rogan podcast check it out the Joe Rogan experience train by day Joe Rogan
podcast by night all day
how many times a week you have guests you have times that you have two guests
during a day
it's rare but it did it once last week and then today yeah that that burns you
it's not it's just
talking I you know we up yeah yeah okay good it's insane you know why is it
insane because man
sometimes I you know I can train all day yeah you know but if I do something
like this like it like
in like an autograph signing or any like things that require more I would say
you know meet and
greets and stuff like that that take more out of me than a physical something
physical like a training
that's just because you're accustomed to training all the time it's like
everything
else like the the more accustomed to it you are the easier it is man anyway you
you look fantastic you
do too you haven't you haven't aged a bit you're like wine you get better when
age I like the frosted
tips man what are you doing change my uh my style you know when you get older
you try to look younger
when you're younger you try to look uh older right that's true like young guys
try to grow beards
that's right let it go I just shamed I had I had Lex Freeman podcast yesterday
yes and I told myself I
said you know what it would look it will look weird if I appears on both
podcasts in Austin with the same
style you know so I it's better that I should some way when they put it on on
the social media at least
it's kind of a different looks I saw with Lex you wore the suit and tie just
like him right and men
in black style that's right it's nice reservoir dogs yes look at you too I love
Lex he's he's such a great
guy he's amazing I I really enjoyed talking to guys like this because you don't
meet people like
this every day he's so educated so smart yes but also a martial artist I agree
yeah yeah that's right
he he says that he was a big fan he was kind of intimidated I said I'm
intimidating talking to you
Lex because I cannot teach you anything you know like you can teach me stuff I
can learn from you you
cannot you know in regards of perhaps martial art yes but in terms of life I'm
like in terms of
knowledge you can teach me so much more than I can do it's true if you talk to
him about artificial
intelligence and AI and machine learning and everything like oh bro yesterday
we went deep in
the rabbit hole we we you know like in your podcast sometime you curves go you
go in the field
with Lex yesterday we went in the right field like far away would you would you
discuss man at one
point I was the one interviewing him because I'm curious the podcast took
another turn like 180 W I
was the one interviewing him because I'm so curious you know when I meet
someone like him I like I take
advantage of it you know like it's uh I think he likes it and I ask him about
what he thinks about
free will uh if he thinks at one point AI will be could be a potential threat
for humanity and what do you
think about that he actually changed my mind quite a bit on the subject did you
think it could be a
threat now you don't no on free will because I knew I never like before I met
Lex like yesterday
before that I thought that free will was just an illusion and everything is a
result of causality
right right determine determine determinism that's right a lot of people don't
know what it that's
called determinism but Lex came up with the like very good argument and now I I'm
not so sure anymore
I think both things are true I think it's like many things involving human
beings there's not an
absolute in one side or the other for sure free will is a thing because we both
know about discipline
we both know how difficult it is like you know more than anybody how difficult
it is when you're in
like a full training camp and you're exhausted but you know you have the work
that you have to do and
there's some people that will find a way out of that work they'll they'll quit
or they'll they'll not
answer their phone or they'll take time off and then there's other people that
will just bite down
and deal with it and and be uncomfortable but do the work that's free will that's
that's discipline
there's something but why can you do it and why can other people not do it like
what about
how much of your personality was instilled upon you because of your genetics
because of your life
experiences because of the environment that you you grew up in how much of it
was the people that
you experienced when you were younger that showed you the value and the benefit
of hard work and how
many of the people that you mirrored were lazy and and then found excuses and
maybe you maybe you lean
towards them like how much of determinism is true how much of free will is true
it's a balance there's
there's a lot of both things that's that's right i you know in a mechanical
world if a car
broke we're not gonna say this the car decide to break right or if a trees fall
down we're not gonna
say the trees decide to break maybe the asymmetry of the tree makes it falls
down maybe there's a reason
why but i feel that us as human beings sometime or ego want us to be in control
of the universe which is
i do not believe it's the case so that's why i tend to before i met lex i was a
hundred percent
convinced there is no free will and uh you know everything is this determined
by causality now i'm
not so sure because about we talk about consciousness what it is and he had
some incredible
argument and he made me see a different point of view that i never never seen
before well just
think about this think about how many people seek out inspiration think about
how valuable it is like
matt frazier was on my podcast a couple of weeks ago he was a five-time crossfit
champion
and uh one of the things that he does now he has this art collection that he's
selling on his
website and all it's all these inspirational quotes and the idea is to put up
this art with all these
inspirational quotes and that will give you fuel to get through your workouts
or get through difficult
things that you want to do in your life we all are like how many people post
inspirational things
online and then how many people like you know read those things and get excited
and it inspires them
to action there's some real cause and effect that's right where there's
inspiration and then there's
action that's motivated by that inspiration whether it's going to the rocks
instagram and watch him at
five o'clock in the morning the rock here working out in the in the the the
church of iron you know
like all the that that guy does or all these other cam haynes or david goggins
all these other
inspirational people that are online why are they so motivational why do so
many people flock to them
because there's there's a reality to the there's a give and take to these
things and there's certain
things that inspire you to action you can externally be motivated by those
things it's not necessarily
a hundred percent determinism there's there is some free will well however
there's for example
a coat that can inspire you but to me it doesn't have the same effect because
of my background it
doesn't get me to my core because i cannot rely really much to it so it's a
little bit of
determinism because it's the causality that makes it who i am and who you are
that makes it the effect
of that coat as on you is different than it has on me or you could both grow up
in the same environment
you could have a brother that's inspired by things that are not even remotely
inspirational to you
but to him it's everything whether it's music or whether it's a movie or a book
or whatever it is it's
true like in in families very often you have someone who's going the right way
and may perhaps one of
his sibling will go the wrong way you know and we always tend to say oh we don't
understand because
they've been raised the same way but they did not the the moment you you take
one of your kid in your
arm and the other one is looking at at the kid that you're you know it's it
changed everything you
know what i mean yeah it's very hard to understand i but but i i'm not saying
that i'm convinced that
there is no free will but i i don't know now he didn't completely convince me
he didn't complete me
make me change my mind but he's got his point in and now man i i don't know i
think the real
problem is people that are convinced one way or the other that's the real
problem because it is an
open-ended on uh conversation i don't think they're really i i think determinism
is a real factor
but i also think will is a real factor too and that there's something about the
open-ended variability
of your decisions and what you decide to do what you don't decide to do and
there's moments in your life where you go
fuck it i'm gonna do it i'm gonna go for it and when you do go for it your life
changes like what
makes you say fuck it i'm gonna go for it it depends entirely on what happened
that day to you
it depends entirely on how you feel whether or not you got rest whether or not
you you broke up with
a girlfriend or she broke up with you or you got fired from a job or you quit a
job or you took on a
new path in life like all those different things play a factor but there's also
your own personal
decision making that's based on your own personality and maybe your own life
experiences there's so many
things involved but for sure we all value discipline we all value the ability
to take action well why
do we do that because we know it's a variable it comes and goes it ebbs and
flows and sometimes
it's there and sometimes it's not it's like what is that expression there's a
there's an old expression
i don't remember who said it but that inspiration is like bathing it's
effective but you need to do it daily
hmm and i think there's something to that it's like you need to seek out
inspiration and that's
why again people like david goggins are so inspirational because you can go to
his page
every day and that's running 30 miles a day you know what i mean like there's
something to that like
you get you get you get fuel out of that there's people like my friend cam haynes
there's people or
the rock or whoever it is they give you fuel you see them training hard you go
oh there's fuel in
that yeah like i want to go train they are unbreakable yeah they have an unbreakable
will
and this is very uh inspirational yeah that's right so there's two things
happening there's one it's
like yeah you are a lot of who you are because of genetics and because of life
experience and because
of all the things that have happened to you but there's also decisions that you
make there's lines
in the sand where you draw there's moments where you say i'm going to do
something different now
i'm tired of this like people that are drunk their whole life and up on drugs
and then one day they go
enough enough i don't want to do this anymore i'm going to change and they have
inspiration and then
they go to a 12-step program and they meet other people that also have
inspiration and they feed off
of each other i think it's important to face adversity at it helps if you face
it at a very young age
because it's it molds you yeah especially if you able to overcome it because if
you never faced adversity
before and when you face it for the first time and you're not prepared for it
it can break you yes it
can make you fold right you see that very often in in a career of them in mixed
martial art guided
some of the guys they've been protected for too long and then when they face a
real challenge they fall
yeah same thing in anything and and i think guys perhaps like david gogan's or
you know when i heard
their back stories because they face adversity they had to face an incredible
amount of adversity and they
were able to overcome each of it and they become stronger because what doesn't
kill you make you
stronger right or it fucks you up to the point where you're weaker than you
were before exactly
but i think it it's it's a litt
