the Joe Rogan experience how much time before there's regular travel back and
forth to Mars roughly like a real civilization on Mars well I think it's
gonna take a while to build a real civilization the the real the real the
threshold that really matters is for getting past the great filter is do we
have enough resources on Mars such that if the if the spaceships from Earth
stop
coming you can survive yeah so yeah I can only be just missing one little thing
you'd be like you're on a long sea voyage and the only thing you're missing is
vitamin C yeah so lucky it's only a matter of time you know yeah and those
can be curtains so you got to have all the things necessary to sustain
civilization on Mars and the reason that those shifts from a stop coming could
be
World War three or it could be due to a slow decline of civilization so
civilization here on earth could end with a bang or a whimper or natural
disasters yeah asteroid impact yeah that everyone came out in the bank category
yeah it could be like a whole series of things like so like what killed the
dinosaurs well it wasn't just one thing you know it was like a whole bunch of
things happened in a row and and you know well they could have taken any one of
those things they had like three things happen and no dinosaurs which is kind
of
amazing that crocodiles are still here yeah those fuckers well they're
resilient
crocodiles they they'll they'll live on decayed meat they love rotten meat and
so
in a any kind of disastrous situation there's a lot of dead creatures and the
crocodiles love it so that's why they're around crocodiles and bugs and
mushrooms and shrews shrews yes is why we're here yeah exactly our great great
great great great great grandparents were shrews what a strange thing so like
you
have to come from so there's hope there's hope for all you rodents out there
yeah
one day you can go to Mars just keep doing your homework absolutely so so there'll
be the you see the great filter what did you mean by that um well so
there's something called like the fermi paradox of like where are the aliens
yeah so yeah where are the
aliens um and um i think it was carl sagan that said like uh if there either
are a lot of aliens or
none and the either they're equally terrifying um if there are a lot of aliens
well i mean
the invasion ship slash uh
you know bug infestation just you know like
starship trooper style well yeah i mean it's like it's an alien civilization
might just view us as like a bug
infestation right you know so hey we left that planet was fine now it's got a
bunch of bugs just go fumigate
it you know um like we fumigate a house um yeah that's certainly impossible and
then uh but if
there are no aliens well could it be that all civilizations are just destroyed
before they become
inter inter uh stellar you know so uh and i know i want to be clear like to the
best of my knowledge i there
is no evidence for alien life on earth that alien there's no evidence for alien
life there's no direct
evidence for alien life no you know and if somebody says oh what about this
alien for uh you know uh
sighting or whatever i'm like listen it's got to be at least as good as a 7-eleven
or atm cam
okay it's like if somebody's got at least like an iphone one level camera yeah
like something you know
the problem with that is it's just too easy to fake things today too
yeah sure i look at least try hard and they're faking are you familiar with uh
commander david fravor's
account of uh the tic tac ufo that he encountered off of the uh coast of san
diego
like you know lex lex friedman yeah lex friedman interviewed him on his podcast
and i interviewed
him as well and if you ever get a chance to listen to lex's uh conversation
with him it's really
excellent but this guy is a naval fighter pilot and he talked about this thing
that they tracked on radar
that went from more than 60 000 feet above sea level to one foot in less than a
second shaped like a tic
tac no visible sign of propulsion uh blocked radar uh actively jammed their
tracking systems and then
went to their predetermined point that they were supposed to uh that the the
fighter jet was supposed
to scramble to went to it uh 30 miles away in you know a couple seconds like
they have no idea how it
did it they don't know what it is and these guys that were uh working for the
navy off the coast said
they'd encountered them several times they didn't know what they were they didn't
know what to do
what they just did photo or something i mean they do they have video of it uh
okay they have video of
it they have um there's you ever see the new york times article that came out
in 2017 about this stuff
i don't know yeah there was a new york times article in 2017 that was detailing
this and there's a couple
of there's a couple other different sightings that were very similar they were
trying to figure out what
these things were and why and it was also in the covid relief package that the
cia was supposed to
release yeah the politicians are trying to figure out what all this is so they
tried to get them to
release all the information they have within 180 days honestly i think i would
know if there were aliens
i would hope so that's why i'm asking you no i i i i'd be jumping on that like
like you should watch that conversation with lex it's like here's the thing do
you think that they
would want us to know or do you think they would just be observing and making
sure we don't blow
ourselves up would i don't know man they're real civilization they sure are
subtle
i mean if they wanted us to know obviously they could just for sure you know
show up and walk down
main street you know right hey i'm an alien check me out you know right uh here's
my spaceship i just
land in the middle of time square i'll be like right okay or hover over
downtown la yeah yeah yeah we
were like okay we believe you yeah um so whatever they're they are very subtle
very subtle these aliens
how often do you think about it nine zero zero even though you're thinking
about interplanetary travel
you don't really think about aliens no i mean if they show up i'm like great
okay now this is new
information but we yeah what an interesting way of putting it this is new
information this is new
information like where are you guys up till now yeah um so anyway uh listen i'm
if if i see some
evidence for aliens i'll be like i'll be the first to be like ah aliens you
know right then you'll
investigate but until then you think it's kind of a waste of time yeah yeah it
definitely seems like
a waste of time if nothing's happened so far you think about all the people
that have been researching
aliens for their whole life and they have very little to show for it well you
know there's other
than cool stories yeah um i mean we have archaeologists going all over the
world looking at things you
know where there's this the people like if we were to find something like let's
say like a cube of
titanium just like a one inch cube of titanium see in the middle of the pyramid
i'd be like aliens for
sure there's no way they could have made a titanium back there hmm there's no
way they that's hard
that's all one little don't even need a computer like a computer would be like
hey wow computers
they didn't have computers back then so it must be aliens but but even just
like some advanced metallurgy
anything like means anything like that right nothing like that that we could
point to that we can't do
everything that we found archaeologically is consistent with the time uh the
technology
they had at that time archaeologically yes yeah yeah so you just talked about
old stuff yeah yeah just
throughout history it's not like yeah like like if aliens visited there would
be something buried
somewhere i think um we haven't seen anything so anyway i mean maybe they were
aliens but they're
very subtle if they are they're just very uh they're being pretty shy um so
as far as we can tell there's none so nor are we seeing signals from any other
solar system or anything
like that so um now and the thing is that um on a galactic time scale even with
sublight travel you
could absolutely colonize the whole galaxy even some of the neighboring
galaxies um so if you gave if
you said a million years with with with and say there's no there's no new
physics could you colonize
the galaxy in a million years absolutely the entire galaxy so you would start
with mars build bases on
mars then use mars to jump off to all these other planets set up places there
and over thousands of
years easily yeah kind of like you know from one solar system to the next and
yeah that it seems like
that's imperative like that has to happen if the human civilization is going to
survive because our
planet is just we're too subject to natural disasters and our own folly and if
the species is going to
survive we kind of have to escape it's mostly about the species i mean there
have been some real doozies of
like you know massive meteors and super volcanoes and the continents moved all
over the place and earth's
been a snowball and super hot the if you read like the geological history of
earth it's like very long and
complicated um so and then there have been so many extinction events not like
just a few um yeah i mean the
the permian extinction event that was a real rough one where it's like well
over 90 percent of all species
died out um and that doesn't tell the whole story because a huge chunk of the
remaining species were
fungi and um you know like sponges and stuff like that you know uh but like if
are you are you a sponge
okay you're probably doing okay they're still around are you a mushroom do you
like being in the dark and
feasting on dead dead mat dead plant and animal matter okay but if you're like
a human you're screwed
