Joe Rogan isn't just living off of his fear factor money
First things first, I'm not condoning drug use. I found the video and was more interested in what he talks about at around the 6:30 mark onwards.
If you want to hear about trippy DMT stuff first, by all means listen to it from the beginning.
just thought it was an interesting worldview.

All you do is hit the source button at the top left of this text box (the one you type in) and paste the code from the 'embed' box under the vid description on youtube. I've done it below:

I've always liked the view that nature itself is an evolving entity. I just don't like associating with folks who follow it up with, "We're just big AMOEBAS, maaannnn." It's like they (stoners) say something profound, and follow it up with absurdity. At least it's entertaining, right?

Yeah I mean the way he makes his point is a little off, and you can tell he's probably just playing up the fact that he had this revelation through psychedelics. But you have to admit, the core message is a decent parallel that makes sense.
His delivery lies in the fact that he is an actor and stand up comedian for sure. But it seems to me he has thought about it for a while and it isn't just some fleeting idea in his head.
I know what you mean, it just seems that guys who get tied up in drugs do find meaningful points, they just wrap them in ideas that are way off. It's almost like religion, in the sense that you are taking a profound concept and twisting into something it isn't. Here he's taking the idea of us evolving, but is twisting it by labeling us as amoebas (or whatever it was he said we were). There are uses for the comparison, but it really isn't necessary to the point where it comes across as him just saying it for a 'wow' factor for his clearly druggie interviewers... lol

Agreed. Completely unrelated... what are you doing in your picture?
I'm tightening an upstop wheel on a roller coaster car. I've got an internship with Great Coasters International (they make wooden coasters), and my job is mainly to help assemble the trains. The upstop wheel is the wheel that rides under the track, preventing the train from flying off on a hill or inversion. In the picture the chassis is upside down.

Sounds complex and beyond my scope. One of my friends, who is a guitarist in a band I'm in (I'm assuming you are in/have been in a band based on your name) is an engineer for Pratt and Whitney designing engines for planes. Whenever he gets all engineery on me I lose him in a second. A lot of applied science, biology, functional anatomy and the like come easy to me... but once you add a math equation or two into the mix I'm lost.
It interests me, but its hard as hell for me to grasp. Sounds like an interesting internship/potential job though.
Well for my internship I am basically a mechanic; there isn't any design or engineering involved. I am getting all the engineery stuff in though; I'm working on some side projects of my own to make myself more marketable (the industry is small, so it's tough to get in).
But I know what you mean. I HATED chemistry, and yet somehow I enjoy programming in MatLab. It just doesn't make much sense... lol

Rogan's hippie rant does remind me of Howard Bloom's book, The Lucifer Principle. A fantastic book IMO, which also likens human society to a "super organism". After reading it, Rogan doesn't sound much like a stoned fool. He makes some very, very good points.
A daughter of hope and fear, religion explains to Ignorance the nature of the unknowable. -Ambrose Bierce
His description sounds exactly like the rosetta stoned song I posted in the music dept.
Btw I mentioned a theory similair to this in another post a while back. The box in a box in a box and we could be some bacteria or cancer in someones genitalia theory lol.
Faith is the word but next to that snugged up closely "lie's" the want.

Good Joe Rogan clip stand on noahs arc.

The guy was saying they found a boat, boat anchors and animal waste from multiple species. That is news to me.
Everything makes more sense now that I've stopped believing.
I'm sure they found some dead animals in a boat somewhere. I don't have to look into it to know they didn't find kangaroo shit!
