sticking together code
word jre we're also brought to you by hover hover is a internet domain name
company that
is owned by the people that own is it hover.com forward slash joe rogan is that
what it is
hover.com forward slash rogan hover dot com forward slash rogan i think it's
nice let's see you gotta
get all these people to make the same one no it is all make the same one yeah i
know that together
they can code that in no time because they don't want to pretend that each
other exists they're like
if you're a single guy and you got a bunch of girlfriends they don't want to
know that they
have his other girlfriends nobody wants to think that why should we change our
shit to jre you know
just because squarespace.com uses that i mean what the fuck man hover is uh the
domain company that i
use actually and if you um if you're like a techno idiot like myself i i do not
know how to do anything
correctly other than really easy simple intuitive shit like facebook or twitter
or something like that
like i don't i don't know how to you know if i can register a website like
super easy and it has
things that you normally have to pay for like who is domain name privacy which
is uh that's
that's key if you order ari shafir's legs and then you know you put that shit
online you don't want

yeah this is really
great this is as sexy as it gets for me i'm very happy to be here man thank you
for having me back
it was so cool running into you with the the global future 2045 conference man
that was badass dude
that was awesome that is your world dude that's where larity man yeah
well i was actually talking about with duncan about this a little while ago
what was your guys's
impression because i mean that's kind of like the mecca of the singularity you
guys visited mecca
yeah singularity and because we visited for the show we got to talk to some
really cool people that
that probably would never sit down and talk to us yeah you know like aubrey de
gray i got to talk to
aubrey de gray we'll have that on the show and you know you guys got to talk to
what was the
gentleman's name of the robot uh hiroshi hiroshi ishigura hiroshi ishigura is
his name crazy robot
man yeah really did you talk to the one that didn't have limbs no the one the
little baby one that
talks back to you like somewhat limbs well that that one freaked me out because
that one responds to
you in conversation it understands what you say and it responds to you so you're
like hey how you
doing and it goes good how are you and then it's like and it's like good man
where are you from he's
like i'm from tokyo and i'm like oh cool did you like to travel here yeah it
was fun but here's the
thing it's this like humanoid baby with no limbs which feels like the beginning
of like a creepy sci-fi
movie yeah that starts out with showing like the first ai but it's limbless so
it's this like
weird thing like so we're gonna build them but they're gonna be like a little
circus freaks you know without
limbs it just felt really honking what would it be weirder if it was limbless
or if it had limbs it
couldn't move it was paralyzed it's like you with his nubs right with this no
but that's why it was
freaking that is because it responds to you like a human and it's cute you
immediately anthropomorphize
it and you start to respond to it like it's alive and at some point it'll be so
good at responding that
by all measures that we know about when it comes to knowing if you're some you
have a subjective experience
or if you have a subjective we'll just believe that they're conscious and at
that point are they
just going to be these living thinking things that we keep like limbless behind
like up you know behind
a rope so people can like throw money and look at i mean it was just freaked me
out the presentation of
it i didn't think it was it was i i don't think they're gonna i think one thing
that people haven't
thought of with robots yet is that they think that they're going to be confined
to one form i think the
reality is going to be that they are going to be able to disassemble into
individual droplets if they
want to they're going to be these self-assembling things that can kind of like
the terminator remember
it became that's it that's what it's going to be it's going to be like but
think about that in a way
it's kind of like time-lapsing reality because what are atoms if not self-assembling
entities that
link up with other atoms and become cells and then those cells like self-assemble
into into tissues and
organisms i mean the whole story of the universe the whole the opposite of
entropy is extrap right the
things that move towards greater complexity and self-assemble so people talk
about robots or
nanotechnology yeah it's like an acceleration of it so that it becomes discernible
to us from this
scale and this is funny because that already exists when mckenna talks about
his dmt experience he
calls them self-transforming machine elf so it's almost as though he's come in
contact with a future
version of what these uh androids are going to be well just stop if you think
if you accelerated life i mean
time is all it's it's all our perspective because if you accelerated our life
human life the experience
of humanity yeah but accelerated at times in a billion right and you got to see
the first single
cell become multicellular and and on and on and on cities rise people fly and
then the earth crash
again you got you would get to see it all in like some sort of a psychedelic
trip that only takes
three minutes right and you would see the the earth form out of the cosmos yeah
i mean you could yeah
that's that's psychedelic i mean that might as well be a mushroom trip 100 i
mean if you could like
literally just a perspective thing it's a time thing it's all perspective like
even when you see time
lapse of trees growing yeah you see the tree and it aims towards the sun yeah
the plants like aim towards
the sun the flowers blossom i mean it's kind of crazy it's almost like agency
itself which is that
what they call the you know the life force that there's agency even plants seem
to have it through
time lapse like you see agency intent like it wants to go towards over what
does that say kevin kelly
okay the the trippy white co-founder of wired in his book what technology wants
he calls technology the
technium he says it's the seventh kingdom of life and that it also has wants
and needs and he says that
if we were able to zoom out and remove ourselves from the being the co-participants
and in creating
technology it would actually look like the technology itself is self-assembling
and has a direction like
the time lapsing of plants which is crazy right yeah and then when mckenna was
tripping out and he
starts talking about singularities hello hear the echo with kurzweil and mckenna
sure mckenna's tripping
on dmt and talking about singularities he's talking about universes that engender
novelty universes that
allow the sprouting of new possibility it's the same thing that kevin kelly's
writing about in his
technology book so you see like the respected technologists writing these books
about what's happening
you know even eric schmidt the age of augmented humanity and google google
represents the
literalization of the psychedelic dream you know the literalization of the idea
that we are expanding
our minds with these technologies whether they be chemical technologies or
whether they be these
external technologies and what you're saying this is why it's hilarious when
you hear people start
railing against it's unnatural we shouldn't do it because what you're saying is
like no actually there
appears to be some form of transcendent uh invisible architecture that all
things grow upon in a
similar way whether it's plants technology humans it just stretches on this
invisible framework and
reveals what's hidden and underneath all things which seems to be this ever
perfecting absolutely
ever complexifying harmonious expression that's right and pierre de chardin who
was a famous jesuit
love called it the omega point he called it the omega point he got pushed out
of the church because he
basically sort of divinized the idea of the singularity and he was using the
language of god but he was
talking about this move towards complexity and the phenomenon of man and man
was the point in whic
