Joe Rogan Experience #1052 - Mick West

four three two one yes mcwest we are live finally are you ready i am ready let's
do it
do you're getting a lot of heat online from all these it's all the flat earth
people and the chem
trail people those are the people that are mad at you the most yeah that's my
specialty chemtrails
and flat earth yeah well that's i asked people just this is hilarious i asked
people online i said
mick west from metabunk is going to be here what would you like me to debunk
and one of the first
ones was chemtrails because you cannot debunk it it's real dun dun dun i would
i would say this to
anybody who thinks that that has got to be the most ineffective government
program of all time
like you ask people what they're doing by spraying things in the sky and the
the number one thing
they'll say is like weather control weather control is one well they don't have
any
fucking control of the weather because if they did they'd make it rain all over
santa barbara
and stop these fires yeah i mean there's hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of damage going on
right now there's a fire that's bigger than the city of washington dc they
think they're making those
fires they think that that's part of the conspiracy anything that happens is
always part of the
conspiracy what do you think it is like what is what is it with conspiracies
like why are they so
attractive to people there's something going on with people right yeah i think
yeah i've been looking
into this a lot uh and you have especially since your government shell well i'm
doing research with
a book i'm writing it's called escaping the rabbit hole and it's about how
people get into the rabbit hole
and how people get out of the rabbit hole so the whole thing is about the
rabbit hole which is
something basically people get sucked into and i think people do a lot of
research into the reasons
behind people getting into conspiracy theories like the psychological reasons
and the uh uh personality
reasons and things like that but i think most conspiracy theorists are just
regular people they're
just ordinary people who get sucked into something and why do you think that is
uh just from talking to
them uh they tell me like their their origin stories the origin stories
essentially and they tell me what
happened to them when they got into conspiracy theories and it nearly always
starts with them looking at
some video right now nowadays it starts with them looking at some video and
then they just get sucked in
and then they start looking at another video and another video and another
video and facebook and youtube is
feeding them these videos because once you start going down that road you just
can't you can't uh
change your trajectory right it's it's hard to train youtube uh what since they
instigated this uh
autoplay thing or instituted this autoplay thing or the next video plays
immediately and they're all
related yeah i think that's definitely been a thing with people and also like
the suggestions on the
right hand side if you're watching one video on a particular subject yeah i was
doing some experiments with
that i set up like a completely blank youtube account and i would just go in
there and type in one thing
like contrails and of course when you look at contrails on youtube like half
the videos you're going to
get are going to be chemtrail videos right and so if the first video you click
on is a chemtrail video
then that just sets you down that road well i remember this was in the days i
think before youtube
this was in the days when maybe youtube was around but it just wasn't that
popular i remember me and my
friend eddie were high as and we're uh talking to my neighbor and there was
some plane that was flying
over and we were wondering why the clouds coming from behind this plane stood
so long wow so i i asked
him i used to have this neighbor i used to call him bling bling because uh bling
bling was incapable of
talking about anything other than objects like all we talked about that's a
nice car is that a new car
where'd you get that watch like that was bling bling all bling bling wanted to
talk about is like
material possessions so so he he and i were parked uh in front of his i was
saying hi to him and i said
hey man do you remember clouds look sticking around in the sky that long and he's
like uh no i don't
know is that a new truck and like i just remember how ironic it was because i
had told eddie about
bling bling you know like this is all this guy cares about and wants to talk
about and then he did that
while we were out there but i remember thinking man how weird would it be if
all of a sudden clouds
from jet engines started appearing and it just appeared right before our eyes
and we hadn't noticed
it but i wasn't sold it didn't make any sense to me because my thought on it
was the amount of people
that had to be involved you're talking about all these different airplanes get
all these people to keep
their mouth shut these are or they're pilots right so they're not making tons
of money and they live
here too that's the other thing like if they're actually spraying something in
the sky they live
here too like what are they spraying themselves well the theory now is that it's
basically the power
elite in the country is doing these chemtrails as a kind of latched last ditch
attempt to maintain
power before the entire world collapses into chaos so they think it's kind of
like a desperate situation a
power grab hmm well not exactly it's it's the they're hanging on to have their
kind of last hurrah
like really the they feel like the end of the world is nigh like you know there's
about to be this
environmental disaster and the chemtrails are the only thing that is uh holding
everything together
hmm that's the thing that you get if you go to like you know geo geo
engineering watch that dain
whittington guy he he's basically uh an apocalyptic prophet now he's basically
preaching about how
everything is going to end soon and the the the chemtrails are the only thing
that's stopping it
but they're also making it worse so he's kind of saying like you know the chemtrails
are helping but
we've got to stop them otherwise they'll they'll make it even worse but we're
pretty much all going
to die either way yeah there's a lot of money and we're going to die there's a
lot of people that
love that that that trope it's just like something that gets carted out
constantly throughout history
because it's true you are going to die it's like when are you going to die you
don't know so because
you don't know you're freaking out like is it going to be a car accident is it
going to be a fire
is going to be an earthquake it's going to be a slow aging death or is it going
to be the chemtrails
yeah i think that type of thing like fear of dying is one of those fundamental
things right so you know
every human is hardwired with certain things that they're they that happens in
their brain without
them thinking about and fear of dying and fear of other things fear of you know
fear of wolves or
whatever something that's hardwired and that's the type of thing that leads to
different types of
thinking that uh you know you end up being a conspiracy theorist in part
because your brain is is wired that
way you had a great quote about chemtrails when we did that television show
together you said chemtrails
are like the uh training wheels for conspiracy theorists yeah because they're
like there they're right
above your head and you just like you see them right there for people who don't
understand why jets
produce clouds please explain that because it's very simple it is very simple
uh jet engines have water
have water in their exhaust if you look at a car on a cold day and you see the
exhaust coming out of
the tailpipe you'll see like a cloud of condensation sometimes and you'll see
some water coming out
and when the the exact same thing happens with jet engines uh and when that
exhaust hits the cold air
it condenses it freezes it makes a cloud and contrails are essentially clouds
they're exactly the same
physically as a regular cirrus cloud and it's dependent upon the amount of
moisture in the atmosphere
and you can actually monitor it online nasa actually has a website that will
show you
and i believe it's set up for pilots right is that what the air traffic people
nasa actually has a
contrail forecasting site which isn't isn't really for pilots or anything it's
just part of their
contrail research uh but yeah they have a site where it'll predict like where
the contrails are going
to be but you can do it yourself you just got to look at the relative humidity
at a certain altitude
there's lots of different sites you can go to i've got a whole bunch of them
listed on metabunk
and just like the clouds vary in the sky all the amount of moisture varies in
the sky as well which
is one of the reasons why you will see a jet pass through one area and you'll
see a contrail and then
it almost looks like they shut the the contrail jets off and then you see it
pick up maybe a couple hundred
yards later yeah and that's you say like a cloud it's really exactly the same
as a cloud if you look
at any picture of a cloudy day and then just remove all the clouds but they're
still there as invisible
clouds then when the plane comes along it's almost like the plane is this magic
pen revealing these
invisible clouds because all all the cloud is is a region of the sky where the
humidity is above a
certain level so you know the humidity is pretty patchy across the sky because
like there's a cloud
here and right next to it there's no cloud so where the cloud is it's high
humidity where the cloud
isn't it's low humidity but if both of those were just lowered like 10 then you
get no clouds at all
then a plane comes along it raises the humidity in the cloud area and in the
non-cloud area but this
area because it was a bit higher uh you get a trail forming in this area you
get no trail forming so it's
exactly the same as invisible clouds yeah and for people that are watching it
and you're looking up
you think they're spraying something if you're conspiracy minded and because of
a lot of the
videos that are out there in particular two that were recommended to me are
what in the hell are they
spraying right so i got to meet with that guy that made those documentaries and
right away i knew
something was wrong like he's either on adderall or something he's just like
real real edgy
and speeded up and just just an odd guy which is like a lot of people that are
conspiracially
conspiratorially minded they seem to be like very they're nervous and agitated
and and when we went
over like why he think one of the things he was talking about was the soil
samples and water samples
and that um they've detected all this aluminum and barium in water and
particularly aluminum and he's like
showing me all these results that he had but even on the very results that he
showed me it said sludge
like he had sent them out for testing and i said well what did you send and he
goes well i sent some
water from these you know ponds and i said but it says sludge on your testing
and he said no but it was
water i go okay but the lab said it's sludge i go what is sludge he goes well i
don't know what sludge is
exactly i go well let's look sludge is a combination of water and dirt okay so
you sent water and dirt
so do you know that aluminum is one of the most common metals on earth and you
could basically scoop
up a patch of dirt pretty much anywhere and find a bunch of aluminum in it it's
really really common
in trace amounts i go so what you did is you tested dirt and it tested positive
for being dirt
i mean exactly that's exactly what it is and the guy was kind of freaking out i'm
like how did you
how did you not put this together yourself like if you're the guy who's making
this video and you're
trying to find a reason why you could you know some facts that you could throw
at people we could say
hey look the government is definitely sp
