Joe Rogan Experience #1318 - Hotep Jesus

um two one boom hotep jesus how are you sir i always wanted to say that i
wanted to call somebody
that i need that drop how the do you get a name like hotep jesus how'd that
come about it wasn't
my idea you know i was uh i had just went through my uh spiritual awakening i
just left the hip-hop
industry and i went through like that mace thing you know you go to what are
you doing with the
headgear we got a lot going on up there i had to tie my hair down this is a
black thing man i got
so you have a spiritual awakening yeah i had this spiritual awakening and i'm
you know tweeting on
twitter like i do right and uh somebody said what do you think you are some
kind of hotep jesus oh
yes i do think i'm hotep jesus that's perfect and now you own it that person is
probably like
god damn it that was a great name i gave that dude yeah i don't know who that
person is or was or where
they are now shout out to whoever you are exactly and vibe high your twitter
why didn't you switch
it to hotep jesus can you switch it does anybody own hotep jesus i do you so
you have hotep jesus on
twitter too yeah i reserved it oh dude i think they could probably swap do you
have a little one of them
cute little blue check marks yet no what the is that how do you get one of
those i don't know there's
some people there's some people that have those that have like a thousand
followers yeah how are you
getting like if you work for the new york times or something i thought you had
to hook up
i'll do joe and then i get verified i don't know how twitter feels about me
i mean i think jack likes me he's been in a couple of times but i think the
whole
they're they're weird man they want i mean i think all social media all tech
companies want you to toe a
line right now and if you're not towing that line you're bringing on forbidden
guests and you have
people that have controversial ideas you know they have that finger on the
button of getting ready
you they don't know what to do it's just like radio you know like radio uh a
lot of people don't know
but radio has to play happy songs because happy people buy things really yeah
that's well that's
what the studies say allegedly the marketing studies and advertising studies
say people who are in a good
mood tend to buy things right so the radio is supposed to play happy songs all
day long and the radio works
for the advertisers kind of like media you know so on so forth so social media
is no different
they have advertisers so if there's people on the platform who are creating
disgruntled crowds
it could be hurting the bottom line yeah but facebook's algorithm actually
favors that the way facebook
has it set up like say if if you uh if you get into debates with people on
abortion or something like
very controversial they will start sending that to your feed that will they
will prop it will they'll
sort of steer it in your direction because the more you engage the more clicks
they get the more
money they get the more advertising dollars they get absolutely absolutely uh
the facebook algorithm is
quite unique and uh the way that things can go viral there um twitter i feel
like
the twitter safety and council board yeah what do they call it trust and safety
yeah is that what it's
called something like that yeah so when i go and look at the entities that
contribute to that board i kind
of start saying oh okay i see why certain topics are taboo you know um there's
when you when there's a
board those people on the board are the voice they're the ones that have the
opinion you know so if your
group isn't represented maybe you need to figure out how to get on that board
you know what i mean right
i don't know anybody's getting on that board no it's not gonna happen and you
better be left wing
if you're gonna get on that board yeah i don't think there's any right but do
you think like is
i think jack's more like in the middle yes i think he's closer to the middle i
don't think it's jack i
think it's you know jack's working on a bunch of different projects um but i
think it's probably
you know whoever else is in the office making the day-to-day decisions yeah i
like jack a lot but i
think jack is in the middle of a gigantic corporation and there's so many
people with so many ideas
essentially the founding fathers of our country had a great idea when it comes
to freedom of expression
they felt like it was very important that you have free speech and you don't
you can't be silenced
you can't be you can't be undermined by people who disagree with you because it's
dangerous it's
dangerous when someone can just decide that you can't have a voice anymore and
only their voice
can be heard and we're kind of seeing that with twitter and we're kind of
seeing that with facebook
and with google and they're they're deciding what could be heard and what not
can be heard they think
they're doing it for good reasons they think they're doing it to preserve our
culture and our
civilization and they want to protect people from the election do you know reddit
shut down the donald
the uh the the donald trump support uh reddit page yeah that's not a good idea
the right right before
the dem yeah them to be right before the democratic debate and you know that
was like where all the
funny memes come from and look man this you you can't do that i mean just
because if you have some
people that are saying some that's bad on there get rid of those people get rid
of that but you can't just
shut down a whole forum like it seems that seems insane is there a reason for
it it's not shut down
it says it's quarantined yeah what the does that mean does it have a disease uh
it's sort of like
temporary it's got ebola it happens to people they got to do something i don't
it says there's
violent threats i'm looking to see what oh repeated misbehavior violent threats
skeptical very seems weird right i feel like all this stuff is like we're
seeing what the first
amendment is really all about why it exists we're seeing it play out yeah with
all these social media
sites i really think you know my thing is with like the reddit thing right it's
very easy to create an
actor right the left can create a right-wing actor online to pretend like it's
something about sure it's
something else they can go into reddit do something malicious to get the whole
reddit band right like an
agent provocateur yeah exactly and uh i never leave that off the table when i
look at instances like
this when you say oh somebody was it's the internet everybody's anonymous you
know right you're tracking
this back to who it is you know what i mean do you know it's conservative do
you know it's a republican
are you sure so you know i take these things these pieces of information with a
grain of salt yeah you
should but is this election meddling it kind of is right is what it feels like
if you're killing a
whole sub what does it depends i mean so if they're really that would be really
interesting if it turns
out that it was someone from the left that was posing as someone from the right
in order to shut
down a forum and pretend there's death threats or i mean you look at youtube
right and what what's been
happening with youtube uh even just the algorithm you know uh i'm pretty good
with keywords i do seo
marketing so when i type in certain keywords or find certain things i know what's
going to come up or
what type of content comes up now when i type in those keywords it's like abc nbc
abc cnn and i'm like
that's not what i wanted they don't even talk about these keywords what are you
talking about yeah so when
you start seeing that you start thinking about ingsock and orwell in 1984 and
socialism and communism and
fascism and uh the degradation of society and um a lot of control coming down
um you know people
you know in some ways it's like was the internet created for freedom or was it
created for control
right so it's two different pathways we could probably look at that but
it seems like in many ways they set us up to be controlled and they're doing it
through monopolies
google controls search through youtube and google and by what you search you
can think it's a truth
but what did kanye say kanye say google lied to you you know so kanye says a
lot of crazy though you
gotta really think about that he does and i like crazy i do too i'm a big fan
of crazy i'm a little
crazy a lot of crazy sometimes so i appreciate his crazy side more than his
calm side well great things
come from wild thoughts right exactly i think the internet was initially
created to exchange information
and then when it got loose to the general public they realized what a crazy
idea that was what i think
we're seeing right now with the algorithms is that these corporations are
influencing these companies
to say hey when someone's looking for these things how about you send them over
to abc how about you
send them over to nbc how about you you know like we want to be able to get the
first views on these
things so if someone's searching for that i don't know how they do it i don't
know what they whether they
have agreements with them maybe i mean there's also a lot of copywritten that's
on there that could
get youtube in some significant trouble if they ever really decided to pursue
it right and how many videos
are on youtube that people have on their channel that are just straight off of
fox news or nbc news or
there's a lot of like copyright protected content that youtube is essentially
profiting off of oh yeah
yeah they make a ton of money off of that stuff yeah um so they might have
deals where they say look
we'll send these people to you know this first yeah and that's why i say you
know that's where the
control comes in you know the advertisers the advertisers are the ones paying
you know for the platform to
be a thing it's not us the users that are paying for youtube's free so who's
paying right yeah they're
they're monetizing us they're monetizing us the users and the viewers yeah that's
where it gets tricky
right because as soon as the advertisers get on board they say look we uh you
know we want to give you
money but this content is not advertiser friendly right yeah and then they
start moving stuff around and
demonetizing things and and with demonetization the real thing that they're
doing in a lot of ways
whether it's intentional or not is you're influencing what people post you're
kind of you're asking them
to self-censor because if you say hey you guys want to discuss abortion rights
or you know like there's
there's some things that you start discussing them and they will automatically
dump demonetize you
yeah well who is the girl that put out the uh abortion documentary right and
they snatched that
down i forget what it's called um i'm bad at memorizing these things but there
was a basically
an anti-abortion thing that exposed some things about abortion there's a
documentary and i believe
the day it went up it got shut down she had to re-upload it um was it lauren
southern might have
been yeah there's those two cute white chicks that everybody thinks are super
racist lauren southern and
tammy what's the other one tammy lauren tommy lauren tommy lauren so she did a
documentary but then you
have like uh the james o'keefe thing where you know he put up the exposing uh
youtube and then that got
you know obviously they're going to take it down the most recent one that
exposed google right right
yeah i've been asking people about that i'm like okay break this down for me is
there any way that
this could have been deceptively advertised or deceptively edited like it seems
to me like they're saying
that they're going to manipulate search results and they're going to manipulate
the way people see
things because of the 2016 election they don't want that happening again in
2020 that's what it seems
what i'm looking at it absolutely that's exactly what it looks like could it be
doctored of course good
you know that's that's yeah that's always possible but um when you go and
experi
