Highly recommend listening to the entire 2.5 hour Joe Rogan podcast[1]. It really does give a nice glimpse into his mind, and at times he appears to almost start choking up talking about fossil fuels and climate change. Once they get into the whiskey it actually gets more interesting, from evils of AI, to life being a simulation, to thinking positive and asserting as a whole judges, police, and military are some of the finest people we have. You can tell Elon is fed up with the constant negativity toward people and pervasive pessimism fueled by social media. I also honestly think he is probably dealing with depression, as you can almost see it in his face and speech. [1] [this video]

Joe Rogan Experience [0]. I love that he sits down with people and actually has long in-depth conversations with them. Here's a few interesting ones: * Let's start with his Elon Musk discussion [1]. It came out 2 weeks ago and it already has 14m views. They basically discuss a bunch of his ideas along with things such as AI and the future of humanity. It's fascinating to get a peek into the kind of person he is. * His discussion with Matthew Walker has been one of the most enlightening ones for me [2]. He's a sleep expert, and in the podcast they go over different myths relating to that. There was recently a HN post [3] where some people were quoting him and his book. * Another big favorite

Strange as this may sound, this reminds me of Joe Rogan's interview with Elon Musk: [this video] Some of Asimov's predictions about the future were... off. The middle segment of Musk's interview with Rogan was about the future of AI and cybernetics. It will be very interesting to watch that interview in 40 years.

This was talked about at length on Joe Rogans show by Peter Schiff: [this video] I think its a net benefit to Puerto Rico to be in this position.

Reminds me of something Elon Musk said. A lot of the content on the internet is a "projection of our limbic system". (Elon saying this [this video] ) I see the craze around crypto the same way. It is a representation of something in our limbic system. Perhaps greed?
