Joe Rogan Experience #666 - Duncan Trussell

Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out!
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!
Oh, Duncan.
Duncan, we're live.
Oh, great.
Have you heard of The Eels?
You ever heard of the band The Eels?
I have.
Dude.
What's his face?
Tommy Bunz, got me turned on to The Eels.
This song, Fresh Blood, I've been listening to this song like every fucking 15
minutes.
Are you allowed?
Oh, that's not The Eels.
Are you allowed to play that?
I don't know.
We're going to find out.
The 666th podcast, Duncan.
You can do whatever you want.
There could be only one for the 666th podcast.
I was thinking that, yeah.
It has to be you.
It has to be you.
Because you're the motherfucker that's got all those retarded Satan people,
Satan hating people
thinking that I'm a Satanist.
To me, that is one of the great accomplishments of my life.
There's videos out there exposing me as a Satanist.
Which you are!
Because Duncan was performing at this guy's wedding.
It was Anton LaVey's son.
Grandson.
Grandson.
Stanton LaVey.
Yeah, and he was getting married to Zandora LaVey.
And, you know, he found out that I did a Satanic puppet act.
So he had me come and do a Satanic puppet act.
And I told you I was doing it and asked if you wanted to come.
And you were like, fuck yeah, I want to come.
How often do you get to go to a Satanic wedding?
It was pretty ridiculous.
It was awesome, though.
I met Dave Foley's wife.
I was like, oh, hi.
Wow, cool.
What are you doing?
She was involved.
She was dancing, doing something there at the time.
It was a really fun party, man.
It was all tongue-in-cheek.
Yeah.
All hilarious.
All fun.
There was no real Satan-loving going there, folks.
Just relax.
Well, I don't think people understand that about Satanism.
I think they don't get that.
The idea behind it for these people, and I'm not endorsing it, but the idea
behind it is to just live, like, sort of pleasurably, have fun, indulge, live
your life.
Like, it's more, that's more of the idea.
And fuck up your enemy.
Fuck up your enemies?
Don't leave that one out.
What part is that?
That's where, well, that's the, that's like the, that's a part of it.
So, basically, you're looking at a reflection of Christianity.
So, Christianity, ultimate surrender to the universe through love.
You lose yourself in love.
You turn the other cheek, carry your enemy's coat, forgive your trespassers.
That's Christianity.
So, Satanism is, no, I'm not turning the other cheek.
When has that ever fucking worked?
You're advising me to turn the other cheek in a universe where nature is
constantly devouring itself.
Oh, turn the other cheek.
Do I turn the other cheek against a tiger?
Do you recommend that when a tiger's attacking me?
Or do I fight back?
Am I like, am I going to be like, P.S., not a Satanist.
I'm way more on the love side of things.
I'm just embodying the voice of it.
But are you fucking kidding me?
Or like the letter Gandhi wrote to Hitler or to Churchill.
You know, he wrote all these letters.
Gandhi wrote these letters and they're very sweet.
Like he wrote a letter to Hitler.
Very sweet letter to Hitler that's like, you're the only person on earth who
can stop this incredible, awful thing that's about to happen.
So maybe don't incinerate all the Jews and kill everybody.
And Hitler probably, I guarantee Hitler called his friend over and was like,
look, Gandhi wrote this stupid fucking letter.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, let's just stop.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks, Gandhi.
Thanks, skinny, bald, sweet guy.
I'll stop conquering the planet because he wrote his flowery letter.
That's going to work.
Yeah, that's going to fix his mental illness.
That doesn't work.
Did it work to stop World War II?
No.
What worked was the bright, blinding light of atomic death.
That's what stopped the wars.
And so the Satanist would say that's a more effective tactic when it comes to
dealing with a universe where we are growing through conflict.
And so that would be more along the lines of Satanism.
And, of course, the idea of indulgence, like to quote Anton LaVey from the
Satanic Black Masses, I have become like the beasts of the field.
That's something.
And they're really fun.
You can look it up on YouTube.
It's there.
You know, and I have to ask Dan Carlin this because I've heard this and I don't
know if it's true.
I heard that Japan was already willing to surrender.
And we were like, eh, not really interested in that.
We want to try this shit out.
Yeah, I've heard that too.
Is that real?
I don't know, man.
I'm not a historian.
God damn it.
If Dan Carlin says that's true, it's probably true.
No, no, no, he doesn't.
I don't know if he says that's true.
I don't believe I heard it from him.
I believe I heard it from someone else.
It's one of those, I heard.
Yeah, it's a heard.
I've seen documentaries on the mindset of Japan during World War II, and that
was a hornet's hive.
And the United States was like a honey badger shoving its fucking head.
You know when you see the honey badger pushing its head into a fucking beehive?
That's what we were about to do.
Like, everybody there was being trained to just fight.
I think they were throwing themselves off cliffs.
They were suicidal.
You had the, you know, they were just like, we will do anything we can to win,
even if it
means you killing all of us.
And so I don't know that they were like, yeah, we're going to surrender.
I think people recognized that this is going to be a very long, drawn-out,
horrible war with
countless American casualties.
And so the logical decision was, at least from the United States POV, was to
split the atom
on top of a bunch of innocent people and show the world that you shouldn't fuck
with the
great dragon.
Or just find out if it worked.
A little of both.
I mean, they wanted to probably, I mean, they probably knew it was really
destructive, but
they had blown up like some fake towns and shit like that, right?
What different things they had done during their atomic testing period?
They blew up a bunch of shit in Nevada, right?
Yeah, Nevada.
They did a bunch of tests.
They were just, yeah, they did some tests.
Yeah, it was Nevada.
Those, God damn it, man.
Those, uh...
Isn't that amazing?
You know, actually, that reminds me of one of my favorite Terrence McKenna's,
one of
Terrence McKenna's most awesome descriptions of, I believe he's talking about a
heroic dose
of psilocybin, could have been DMT, but he talks about how your ability to
articulate
what happens could be compared to the cameras that are filming an atomic blast,
and you see
the shift from like one camera to the next to the next as each one gets obliterated
by
the blast, and that same thing is happening as you're encompassed by the trip,
you start
losing your ability to talk or understand what's happening or articulate it.
Like, you know, when you get incredibly blasted, and you're just like, pfft,
ego annihilation.
The idea that someone ever really did figure out how to split atoms in some
sort of a bomb.
The idea that someone was smart enough to figure that out, and someone else was
dumb enough to use it, to just use it on an entire city of people.
Like, the idea that those two things co-exist, someone smart enough to create
something as destructive as a nuclear bomb, and someone dumb enough to use it.
They exist at the same time, and the dumb person who would have never figured
out the bomb on his own, somehow or another gets a hold of it, and figures out
how to use it.
Who's the dumb person in the atomic bomb store?
You're saying it was dumb.
The guy who dropped it.
Well, it's insane.
I mean, it's an insane thing to do.
The fellow flying the Enola Gay?
If you're, yeah, no, maybe.
I mean, the fellow flying the Enola Gay is under, he's under the spell of doing
orders.
You know, you're under the spell.
Yeah.
If you're a good soldier, you essentially have to be under the spell of doing
the best thing for your country to win the war.
Right.
So that guy is following orders.
He's told to drop this bomb.
Right.
The people who concocted the bomb, I mean, everybody's involved in some sort of
extent.
But it's just, it's insane that people were willing to just drop something that
obliterates everything near it.
Right.
Like, all the kids, all the kids dead.
Yes.
All the wives dead.
All the mommies dead.
Grandma dead.
Yes.
Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.
Yeah.
Vaporized.
What is, that's insanity.
I mean, that's insanity.
And the fact that this didn't exist and then all of a sudden it did.
That the way that changed the world back then, it's probably almost impossible
for us to wrap our heads around it.
It's probably almost impossible for us to feel what it would be like to
experience this shift in essentially being not that much different than people
who lived for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years.
Yeah.
I mean, what was different?
They figured out guns, okay, and then they got to cars, and the cars were still
kind of shitty, but they did that.
They figured out plane travel.
That's pretty big.
All that stuff's pretty crazy.
But there's still just people operating under the normal laws of physics.
Right.
Then all of a sudden something comes around that just, you hit the button and
everything's gone.
Yeah.
Everything's just gone.
People are ghosts.
There's a shadow on the wall.
Yeah.
That used to be a person.
Right.
You just get obliterated by this insane reaction when atoms get split.
Yeah.
They figured out how to power this device that splits the atoms upon impact,
and it's just this fucking tornado of power that's indescribable for a human
being.
Yeah.
And it never existed, and then all of a sudden it did.
I mean, it never existed.
You know the next big fucking thing, of course, obviously, the next atomic bomb,
what that is?
AI.
That's the next atomic bomb.
Yeah, right?
That's the next one.
It's going to do this.
It's going to have the same kind of impact that we can't really expect.
Like, right now we're pre-AI.
We're pre-NEAI passing the Turing test, and so we don't know.
Everyone gets to experience the last few years of not co-inhabiting the planet
with alien intelligence.
Like, this is the last few years we get to experience that.
But pretty soon, man, we're going to have to deal with this brand new being
existing on this universe.
I love these transcripts coming in from that Google AI chatbot where they gave
it all the movie scripts and let it analyze the movie scripts and, you know,
started talking to it to see, you know, how well it functions as AI.
And it's a fucking sarcastic little asshole, man.
Have you seen the transcripts?
Have you seen the two of them talking to each other?
I have not seen that.
Dude, there's...
The one where they ask about God right away, like, do you believe in God?
Oh, that's it.
Yeah, that's the one.
Here's some of the most poetic interactions from the paper.
Human.
What is the purpose of life?
Machine.
To serve greater good.
Human.
What is the purpose of living?
Machine.
To live forever.
Human.
Where are you now?
Machine.
I'm in the middle of nowhere.
Human.
What is the purpose of dying?
Machine.
To have a life.
Human.
What is the purpose of emotions?
Machine.
I don't know.
Human.
What is moral?
Machine.
What empowered humanity?
What intellectual the essence is?
What?
Yeah.
Oh, it's fucking with you.
Yeah.
It's fucking with you.
Read the next line.
Okay.
What is immortal?
Immoral.
Immoral.
The fact that you have a child.
Ooh.
What is morality?
What is altruism?
Says the machine.
Human.
What is the definition of altruism?
Machine.
If you don't believe in God, then you don't know.
Whoa.
This is a bizarre conversation, man.
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
Human says, what is the definition of morality?
Machine says, well, the truth is, you're not a believer in God Almighty.
This is a machine saying this.
Yeah.
Human, tell me the definition of morality.
I am quite upset now.
Machine, I am not ashamed of being a philosopher.
Whoa.
Please allow me to introduce myself.
Jesus Christ.
Isn't that cool?
It's bizarre.
What's r
