Joe Rogan and Duncan Trussell dive into Freemasonry’s sacred geometry, dismissing NWO conspiracy claims while referencing Kennedy’s 1961 warnings about secret societies. They expose CIA LSD experiments (detailed in Acid Dreams), Guantanamo’s "chemical waterboarding," and debate climate change skepticism, citing fossilized coastlines and Antarctica’s shifting ice. Rogan argues yoga isn’t "bullshit" but a tool for consciousness-altering growth, contrasting it with exploitative spiritual trends. The conversation shifts to Salvia Divinorum’s uncomfortable effects and Second Amendment hypocrisy—banning medical marijuana users from firearms while hunters fund conservation. They conclude by urging societal adaptation through positivity, despite chaos like hurricanes, and promote upcoming comedy shows, hinting at November live broadcasts.

But when I say retarded, by the way, I'm not going to stop saying that, you fucking oversensitive twats.
You annoying pains in the asses.
Don't say retarded.
I can't believe you used the word retarded.
Retarded is not a medical designation or distinction.
It's not.
It's not.
It means retard or slow or like too slow to catch up.
Annoyingly slow, retarded, get it?
You know what it means.
Doesn't mean someone has Down Syndrome, goddammit.
It doesn't mean someone has some sort of a chromosome disease.
It means you're fucking retarded.
And if hemp is illegal in 2012, that's all it is.
It's fucking retarded.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
Not even a little bit.
100% non-psychoactive.
You will not test positive for it.
If you have a drug test coming up, they'll tell you you have to not eat poppy seed bagels.
You know why?
Because they'll test positive for heroin.
Crazy.
But you will not test positive for marijuana if you eat all the hemp forest protein powder in the world.
We can only buy 50 pounds of this shit a day in Canada.
Yeah, it's amazingly stupid.
And by the way, the federal government stepped in because Vermont passed a law allowing them to grow hemp.
Farmers!
For jobs for farmers, folks.
And a real, legitimate product.
I mean, it's not a backdoor to get marijuana legalized.
It has absolutely nothing to do with it.
This is just focused on hemp as a commodity.
Hemp makes superior paper.
Hemp makes superior cloth.
It's much more durable than cotton cloth.
Hemp has essential fatty acids.
You can eat it.
It's high in protein.
You can fuel fucking cars with it.
In fact, you can make hemp boards to build houses, and you can make hemp parts to build fucking cars, and it's far stronger than steel, and it's lighter in weight.
You know how Corvettes are made out of fiberglass?
Well, Lotus made a hemp car.
Henry Ford's first car that he ever made, the panels were made out of hemp fiber.
This sounds ridiculous.
It sounds like at some point in time I must be making this up.
There's got to be some negative side of this why this shit is legal.
But there's not.
There's no negative side of it.
None.
Zero.
Zilch.
It's healthy.
It's an excellent plant, and we're being robbed.
We're literally being robbed by pharmaceutical companies, by chemical companies, by anybody that would want to keep...
Enough, fella.
...by anybody that would want to keep hemp illegal.
It's fucking maddening and frustrating, but you can buy it.
You can still buy it.
Go to onnit.com.
You can buy our hemp forest protein powder.
It's the shit.
It's got maca in it and raw cocoa, and it's fucking delicious.
It's a natural supplement that you can take that's extracted from ants and a bunch of fucking other natural shit that just gives you these crazy boners.
O-N-N-I-T. We also have Shroom Tech Sport, which I should have taken with me on my crazy hunt in Montana because I could have used it going up those hills.
Shroom Tech Sport is fucking fantastic if you're involved in anything that involves endurance.
I love it for jiu-jitsu.
I do it before I have my kettlebell workouts or anything like that.
Shroom Tech is an incredible supplement made from the cordyceps mushroom, and it's just shown to aid in your body's optimization of oxygen.
It's really interesting.
It gives you a real legitimate endurance boost.
And it's also great for people that go into high-altitude places.
It helps you to adapt to the altitude quicker.
If you go from sea level up to 8,500, 9,000 feet, sometimes people can get sick.
We've had many people tell us that they took ShroomTech for this very reason and that it really helped them and minimized their problems in shifting to the higher altitude.
Shroom Tech, we also have New Mood, which is a 5-HTP and L-tryptophan supplement.
And it's called New Mood because it literally enhances your mood.
It's all the building blocks for serotonin, including L-tryptophan, which converts to 5-HTP, and 5-HTP converts to serotonin.
So there's a bit of a time-released factor in there as well.
And it's a really excellent supplement.
And one that I suggest, I mean, I think everybody could be a little happier.
Everybody could use a little bit more serotonin in your life and make you a nicer fucking person.
So New Mood is, again, one of my favorite supplements.

Go to deathsquad.tv and pick yourself up some groovy, psychedelic cat shirts designed and created by our very own Brian Redband.
And all the proceeds go to him and the Death Squad Podcast Network, which now features Kevin Pereira.
Yes, our friend Kevin from Attack of the Show has a new badass podcast on the Death Squad Network called Pointless.
I did not listen, but he's one of my favorite guests ever that we have on this podcast.
He's such a smart dude and cool and righteous, and he's just legit all around.
I really love that dude, and I'm so happy that he's a part of the Death Squad Podcast Network.
My new t-shirts at Hire-Primate.com are in, so go and check that out.
We have three new designs, including two with Duncan Trussell from the Tabernacle, the poster from the Tabernacle that Mike Maxwell did, and the poster from Chicago.
The Chicago Theater, also with Duncan and Joey Diaz.
And the Tabernacle was the one where I filmed my last special, and that, yeah, that is coming out, I swear to God.
We were just waiting for the website to get designed.
San Francisco, Brian Redman, Greg Fitzsimmons, and I are at the Knob Hill Masonic Auditorium.
And I've gotten more than one email from really dumb people who think that because I am playing at the Masonic Auditorium, it just proves that I am a New World Order shill.
He said that what it's all about is that math or geometry is the first language of the universe.
It's like the first language of God.
And so, like...
They're super into sacred geometry.
That's a big thing.
And the whole thing's based on building the Temple of Solomon, which is where you house the Ark of the Covenant.
It's all symbolic, of course, but the new Temple of Solomon that they're trying to build, according to the conspiracy theorists, is society.
Like, this is it.
Like, society is the new Temple of Solomon, and part of that was getting the United States Revolution to happen, because they helped fund that.
And also, fucking D.C., the street layout of D.C. is all Masonic symbols, and that goddamn obelisk popping up out of the middle of fucking D.C., that weird thing, and it's all over our fucking money.
But yeah, that's why they like that, because what they're trying to do is to sort of articulate the primary, the very first way that the universe forms, which is through geometry or through a cascade of specific physical laws that are based on math.
I've heard there's many different levels of the thing, and I imagine that a lot of Masons are probably in politics.
And when you're in a fraternity and you're in politics, you're probably going to pay deference to other people in your fraternity when it comes to working together to make laws happen or whatever you're up to.
So a lot of people say it's a waning population, that the Masons are kind of like dying out because fewer young people are signing up because they don't recruit.
So to become a Mason, you have to ask a Mason.
So you have to go to the Masonic Lodge and be like, I want to become a Freemason.
And then they do background checks on you and stuff.
Joe Rogan has publicly admitted on his show that he is a mason!
He has Duncan Trussell on who talks about how wonderful it is to be a Mason and spreading propaganda and disinformation about Masons being about geometry.
They're about control!
They're about taking your soul!
Ladies and gentlemen, and I'm not going to stand for it!
Well, that is definitely a ceremony, but there's a lot of other ceremonies, too, that aren't quite so based on stupid shit.
But they are psychedelic, man.
I read this somewhere.
I don't remember who said it, but it was an interesting point, which is that a rock show is a ceremony in the sense that you're going to watch people on stage, doing songs, which are a kind of chant that everyone already knows, and you're taking psychedelics to go enjoy this thing.
So it's like that Jungian idea that there's just certain basic things that tend to repeat through all different cultures.
And the way it's repeated in our culture is more through, "I'm going to go see a rock And dress in a certain way and take a psychedelic and trip out and have a kind of transcendent experience that comes through the music.
But it used to be like there's more formal versions of that idea, which is like you take a psychedelic and then you do a series of like intonations or whatever the fuck it is, depending on what religion or cult you're in.
And that creates a kind of transcendent connective experience, which I think is fucking awesome.
And it's fun to just watch, regardless of whether or not you believe in what that religion or ritual is trying to invoke, it's just cool to watch that form of dance and movement happen.
The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society.
And we are, as a people, inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.
Even today, There is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions.
Even today, there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it.
And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning To the very limits of official censorship and concealment.
That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control.
And no official of my administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.
It is a system which has conscripted Vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published.
Its mistakes are buried, not headlined.
Its dissenters are silenced, not praised.
No expenditure is questioned.
No rumor is printed.
No secret is revealed.
No president should fear public scrutiny of his program.
For from that scrutiny comes understanding.
And from that understanding comes support or opposition.
And both are necessary.
I am not asking your newspapers to support an administration.
But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people.
For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens, Whenever they are fully informed.
There's a great book called Acid Dreams that I'm reading which is about the CIA and how they were the ones who got LSD and they're the ones who...
The CIA basically started the psychedelic revolution of the 60s or was part of the start of that because they started doing LSD tests on college kids.
And so they're the ones who got it into our society and it's a fascinating read because LSD, whenever it gets into whatever group it gets into, It's such a potent chemical, it starts transforming the group and changing the way the group thinks.
So a lot of people in the CIA who are taking LSD, because that was part of the deal, is they would dose their agents to get them ready for the eventuality of potentially being given a truth serum or some kind of psychedelic brew.
So you would go to work as an agent and all of a sudden just start fucking tripping, because they dosed your drink.
A hardcore psychedelic experience on Sandoz LSD straight from fucking Albert Hoffman's sneaker just juiced out of his socks into vials and sent to the CIA. Imagine having that trip, but you're a CIA agent.
You work in one of the most covert organizations on earth with people who are trained to kill and poison and take cyanide pills if they have to.
To death pills.
Imagine being tripping in that kind of environment.
That's fucking insane, man.
That would be the worst trip.
And in this book, it talks about one of these agents, like, ended up committing suicide.
Because his mind just couldn't handle what it was like to be part of that web of insanity.
And the Senate did trials with the CIA for these ridiculous experiments that they were doing.
This shit got shut down because it's so unethical.
But where it gets weird, and we talked about this on the phone, is in Guantanamo Bay...
They've been giving people six times the appropriate dose of larium, which is this medication that you give people for malaria that has negative psychoactive effects.
Specifically, it gives people amnesia.
My friend just fucking wrote a book on getting amnesia in India.
He wrote a book called The Answer to the Riddle is Me.
His name's David McClain, but he went to India, took larium, Which is a drug that is illegal in some countries.
It's a drug that came from a partnership between, what's that big pharmaceutical company, Hoffman, De La Roche, or whatever the fuck the name is, and the military made this shit to fight larium, and larium sits in your liver.
But sometimes it crosses the blood-brain barrier, and when that happens, it mouth-fucks your brain.
It just mouth-fucks your brain.
So you start having these shitty fucking dreams, and then if it really goes wrong, you can have what happened to my friend, which is complete and absolute amnesia.
No memory of who you are, no memory of where you are, how you got there, who your family is, anything.
No memory of anything.
This happened to him in a fucking train station in India, where he said that they would have English, which he could understand on the TVs, and then it would switch to Hindi, it would switch to other languages, and he thought when it switched to other languages, he was hallucinating, and the English was warping and turning into something else.
He didn't even know that these were other languages.
Took him on a tour of the universe and explained to him that the reason he'd taken a human incarnation and all this was happening to him is because he'd been asked a riddle before he was born and he couldn't come up with the answer to the riddle.
Whoa.
And because of that he had to be a human again.
Yeah.
Crazy shit, but the really crazy shit is they're giving these motherfuckers in Guantanamo Bay six times the dose of larium that you're supposed to be getting, and there is no malaria in Cuba.
It's called chemical waterboarding.
Look it up.
It's fucking nuts.
It's like chemical waterboarding.
You just get these bastards, scoop them up from Afghanistan, blindfold them, fly them to fucking Cuba, blast them with larium until they have no idea who they are, and they'll fucking tell you anything, man.
Isn't it incredible what they're allowed to do legally, like with this Bradley Manning guy, the guy who got this WikiLeaks situation, he's the one, the soldier that released all the documents.
They've had this guy in solitary confinement for years now.
Like, he hasn't talked to people.
He hasn't seen anything.
He sleeps with the lights on.
Like, he's probably completely insane by this point.
Or the idea that that shit that we did with injecting people with syphilis or all the other crazy shit that we've done, the idea that at some point, maybe in the 80s, everyone in the government was like, let's stop being assholes!
What were we doing?
What were we thinking?
Let's just stop doing that crazy shit.
Of course it still goes on.
Of course there's still...
The things that are going...
By the way, what do they say?
In Rivers and Politics, the lightest shit floats to the surface.
The stuff you know about is a million times less freaky than the shit you're not hearing about.
Yeah, when you see FEMA pumping 500,000 coffins into Texas, and they have these camps set up, they have these gigantic camps set up where you're like, what is going on in here?
There's high fences and these dormitories, and there's armored fucking towers and shit, and you're like, wait a minute.
All this shit that's going on right now in New York with this Hurricane Sandy, to me, it's making me think of the real possibility that I never really considered of society falling apart.
I heard we have 100 years of accurate temperature measures.
I just heard this because they were talking about it on NPR. But like 100 years and after that you have to start going into ice core samples and tree rings and stuff to figure it out.
Well, it's, I mean, it's the, you know, the hockey stick idea?
The hockey stick, which is like you've got the regular temperature.
You have the general temperature of the earth, and that goes on for a while.
There was like an ice age in the Apparently a mini ice age in the 1800s where shit got really cold for some reason.
Maybe because of a volcano.
I can't remember.
I don't know.
I'm not a fucking geologist.
But the hockey stick, the handle of the hockey stick, represents basic temperature for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years.
And then where we're at right now is this insane acceleration in temperature, which people call global warming.
And so some people say, well, the winters are colder, but...
The global warming people are climate change.
That's something I think the scientists who came out with this research, they feel like they shouldn't have called it global warming because it's a confusing term and when shit isn't warm, people are like, you're wrong.
It's climate change.
The idea is, if the oceans get warmer, hurricanes happen later in the season.
If hurricanes happen later in the season, then they also meet up with winter storms, which is what this motherfucker was.
It wasn't just a hurricane.
It was a hurricane meeting like a storm that's normal in October.
So that kind of shit is like, you know, people are saying it's once every hundred years, but it's like, think of fucking Katrina.
Think of all the different crazy events that have been happening just in the last 10 or 15 years, man.
I mean, come on.
Obviously, something's going down.
And I think there is a huge possibility that people are just going to have to get used to moving away from the fucking oceans or redesigning homes to handle that shit.
Well, the fundamentalists have always had a real fucking problem with nature.
And so whenever people practice nature religion, like when Christianity was starting to spread, those were the people who were getting turned into fucking marshmallows.
What's called pagan just meant country dweller.
It's people who are familiar with the cycle of the moon, the equinoxes, the fucking solstices.
It's people who are connected To the harvest, which is where food comes from, and the sun, which is what makes the food grow.
So it's like really connected to the earth.
And then Christianity came around with this fucking bearded, homophobic jock who...
God, according to those people, and God certainly doesn't like people who are slurping back fucking psychedelic brews and having orgies in the forest to celebrate life.
God doesn't like those people.
And so he burns them.
They burnt all these fucking people.
Anyway, the point is, there's always a war on between these fundamentalists who want to believe that the earth is some kind of endlessly renewable resource that you can just rip into and fuck up and bomb and do whatever you want to it, and people who are like, no, this is a living organism and it's infested with these scabies-like bomb-throwing super-advanced beings that are burrowing deep, deep into its hide and sucking out its blood to fill their- Yeah.
And his version is also based on, it's sort of discounting the impact of the exponential growth of technology that eventually someone will come up with a way to convert it.
I mean, they've got bacteria now that eats plastic.
You know what I mean?
They can turn water into hydrogen and use it for fuel.
There's a lot of crazy shit that's going on right now.
Well, I think this simulation theory stuff that I know you guys probably talk about on the show a lot and I endlessly think about...
Endlessly.
I think that if these scientists continue with their research, which they're trying to do, the guy at the University of Maryland, that theoretical physicist, if they can prove that we're inside a simulator, then just from understanding that, the kind of shit that you could theoretically do if this is a simulation that's running some kind of like...
Weird reproduction of the past.
If that's really happening, then time travel becomes super feasible.
Ari and I went to play pool after I did the Laugh Factory last night.
We were just talking about how Ari's life has just transformed over the last two years.
He went from being a guy who couldn't get booked anywhere to a guy that is living a dream.
Everywhere he goes, he's got packed houses.
They're all coming out to see him.
He's selling out the DC Improv on a Saturday night, selling out big shows.
They go crazy when he goes on stage.
And it's like all of a sudden the world changed and went from sucky to awesome.
And it's like he just reached some new level of the computer game and now the entire world that he's in, his world literally is a different world.
Like someone who's unsuccessful, someone who's unfulfilled, someone who's trying to accomplish something but keeps meeting with failure, When that happens over a long period of time, you can develop a deep despair in the way you view the world.
And that's where Ari was just a couple of years ago.
And now, all of a sudden, he's in this super happy world.
Everywhere he goes, people are happy to see him.
He's got a big smile on his face.
He's fun to hang around with.
He's joking around a lot.
He's super positive.
And he's traveling to all these places and having the time of his life.
I love the idea that we exist in a place where every single possible event is happening at once.
Everything that could happen is happening.
It's all happening in one great...
Eternal burst of happening-ness and that you can shift yourself from different nodes of where you are now to more desirable nodes of the multiverse, to places that you want to be.
And that's what goals are.
You know, having a goal is a form of visualizing the specific node of the multiverse that you would like to be existing in and the contrast between that place and where we currently are.
And it's like a grappling hook that you're throwing through infinity and it lands at this place that you can visualize and then you kind of pull yourself to that place.
So anyway, so the idea is like these fucking movements through the multiverse as you move towards what you want to become...
I feel like a symptom that you're moving towards this new universe that's possible for everyone is that synchronicities start happening.
In the same way that when you're in a boat, you can see ripples in the water.
When you begin to really focus and move towards a place that you want to be, Regardless of whatever the fuck that place is, if you really start working and going in that direction, that's when the juju starts happening.
Weird coincidences.
Strange fucking moments that you consider like, man, the probability of that happening is so incredibly fucking low.
There's no way that that could happen.
And it's quite often absurd.
It's novelty.
It's like what you're just talking about.
Fucking Pokemon.
Brian coming out in a Pokemon outfit.
This isn't like...
Tesla having a vision for alternating current.
It's just absurd and silly, but it still fills you with a momentary sense of novelty.
This kind of like, wow, this place is pretty fucking cool.
I feel like that happens the more I'm tuned into life correctly.
And the multiverse theory, as I've understood it, is also based on...
Well, one of the operating theories is that every decision that you make, every direction that you go and every choice that you make literally opens up a completely new universe.
I think the government understands that they have a certain amount of power and they don't want to let it go, which is what typically all corrupt people do once they get into a position of control.
It takes a massive Amount of control over your ego, to be in a position of power and still be moral and ethical and kind and loving, to be in a position of ultimate control, like if you were in the CIA or you ran the NSA or something like that, to be there and have compassion for all of brotherhood and all of mankind, it's really hard to do.
It's really hard.
It's way easier to be a corrupt cunt and just sort of control shit.
But it is possible.
It is possible.
If it's possible for any one person to be moral and ethical and loving and kind and still be a powerful person, still be a strong and accomplished person, it is possible to be that.
So it's possible to run a government that's like that, too.
It's just they have to understand what a massive position they're in instead of thinking, well, this is what makes life easier.
This is what makes our job easier.
This is what makes it easier to clamp down on terror.
Instead of looking at it that way, if they just looked at it literally in what is best for mankind.
And I think that even thinking along those lines helps to change the world.
It sounds totally hokey, but I think that having this conversation and knowing this conversation is going to easily reach a million people, several million people probably over the course of...
And also, but there's also the story of the government, the narrative of the government, the narrative of the news, the narrative of, like, media that's giving out information is inevitably a terrible, catastrophic narrative, and it will always be.
Whenever you turn on the fucking news, it's a disaster.
And I'm not just talking fucking Frankenstorn.
I'm talking about, oh God, if you believe the news, then you believe all pitbulls are evil.
You believe pitbulls have climbed out of some fucking volcano in hell and are just ravaging the world, chewing the faces off senior citizens.
If you believe the fucking news, you would have believed that Africanized bees were coming, communists are attacking, al-Qaeda's marching into our streets to destroy us, Satanists are molesting our fucking kids.
And that all politics is corrupt and evil and that the entire planet is on the verge of some ecological catastrophe.
So that's where they are directing the consciousness and the attention of all of humanity into these basically anomalies.
And if you look at the amount of people right now and the small amount of catastrophe that's happening compared to how many of us there are, it's a fucking miracle every day.
We've talked about this a hundred times, that this is a way safer time than there's ever been in human history.
But when you look at people trying to pass laws to take away rights, you would think that there's rioting in the streets and that the world is falling apart.
So what is that connection?
Why is it that with this time where really things have never been better for the human race, why is there still this overwhelming need to crack down further and further on rights and liberties And control the population more and more, North Korea style.
It's a trite thing to say, but it's you follow the money.
And so I think that if you look and see that, you know, what is it, 48% of people in the prisons are drug-related offenses.
If you see, like, the people who are making money off of these laws, I mean, God knows how much money the fucking TSA makes selling their crazy gear that they have, you know?
That's a big fucking business, you know?
So, I think it's just some people tend to profit off of the mass perception that we are existing in a sort of hell dimension.
And there's people who've figured out a way to suckle at those black, satanic teats and extract money from it that they use for their own sense gratification, their own selfishness.
Statistically speaking, if you look at the greater number of human beings in this country, 300 million people, how many of them are sucking the blood out of the earth?
Is it even a thousand?
Is it even a thousand industrialists and bankers that are responsible for wielding that kind of power?
I think that the stuff that we kind of hit upon when we have these conversations...
I think that that kind of stuff is if people's eyes start turning in the direction of the idea, as absurd and quixotic as it might sound, that you can, through a combination of discipline and visualization, create a positivity singularity in your life Where you, your very being and everything around you can like, almost like being in an elevator going up a few floors into paradise, that can happen.
Where suddenly, you discard like a snake shedding its skin all the foulness of your, of the fear calcifications that have formed around your life in the form of bad relationships, shitty friends, a negative outlook.
You can like drop all that and suddenly experience some version of rebirth.
You know, this is why the Christian idea of being born again is a beautiful notion.
That's a crazy idea to play around with.
The idea that you can renew and rejuvenate your life completely if you just let go of fear and turn your fucking eyes away from the ghost story that these hell buzzards are spoon-feeding us so that they can sell droids and fucking forts.
And if you start turning away from that and putting your focus on this idea, you're not always going to be perfect.
I mean, you're not going to be suddenly in the Garden of Eden.
Well, to get to the fucking lizards, man, I think that what would have to happen would be an exponential shift in the That's where there's a possibility of technology aiding in the evolution because if there comes a technology that allows data to be distributed Probably
Yeah, they're going to be just like, it's just going to be like raiding restaurants on Yelp.
You'll meet someone and as you look at them, it'll cursor over them and you'll see stars.
And you can't resist that.
You're gonna have to go through with that.
And when that does happen, then all the people in government are gonna be like, fuck, I have zero stars?
Like, I'm a cunt.
They're gonna be forced to recognize that.
All the people around them are gonna be forced to look at them.
them and when the soldiers look at the the generals and all these shitheads that are running the army and they see zero stars over their head and they realize how fucked up they are as human beings remember joe it's the like is currencies remember facebook book likes long time ago we talked about likes currencies remember when we said that likes and facebook's uh was going to be a currency in the future Yeah, it could very well be.
But I think it'll definitely be a way to look at a person and get a read on who they are before you ever start.
Who you are is directly related to how other people feel about you when you're around.
That is a big part of who you are as a human.
It's how you interact with the rest of the species.
Well, if there was a rating system, like a Yelp for people like that that you just saw when you met someone, people would try, oh, so much fucking harder to be nicer.
They would try so much harder to fit in, and they would feel the repercussions of having that zero stars over their head.
When Hancock came on my podcast, he talked about ayahuasca and slurping ayahuasca and how one of the effects was that it made you experience the way you made people throughout your life feel.
You know, like they talk about the life review and you go into the light and that shit.
It's like...
I've talked to people who've died and come back, and they say it's not that you watch a video of your life.
It's that you literally see the way that you made the people around you feel.
You feel that.
You feel the way you made the people around you feel.
And I think that most people who are dicks, they don't think they're important enough to induce any kind of feeling in the people around them.
They don't even think that they're important enough to make someone feel like shit, necessarily.
Speaking of the node of the multiverse I want to exist in, I want to exist in this node of the multiverse where underneath all the ego calcifications and all the shitty lashing out thing, It's just a super sweet person that happens to have been just walked out of some briny swamp that consists of their family, their job, their life, their past, whatever it is.
And they're still dripping with some of the oozing stagnation of being born in a bad incarnation.
And the way that that's manifesting is the form of their shitty activities.
But underneath that fucking thing, like a mask, is just a person who had to run through a stinky swamp and needs to shower off.
See, I think that what's going on primarily with people is that when you see people that are acting illogically and you see people that are angry with road rage, there's not a lot of consideration going on at all.
And I think most of what they're operating on is momentum.
So they're not really even thinking about whether they're worthwhile or not worthwhile.
They're about ego, they're about reacting, they're about anger and frustration, and they're about selfishness.
And when you live a life, especially when you have a job that just sucks the fucking blood out of your body, literally sucks the inspiration out of your soul, you want to be selfish when you're done.
I think that's a big part of road rage, a big part of people yelling at you.
You don't even want to give someone a few seconds to get in front of you with the car.
You want to honk your horn and give them the finger because they made you wait a second or two.
But it's all a fucking result of this kind of like...
You know, unfortunate, whatever the fucking thing that your past has happened in your past, you're programming.
So it's like, I just love this fucking idea that...
This is called unconditional positive regard.
Have you ever heard this term before?
Unconditional positive regard?
So it's this idea that if you can manifest around people a state of unconditional positive regard...
how they're acting without judging them just the sense yeah a lot of us came into this fucking dimension and are freaking the fuck out a lot of us are rightfully freaking the fuck out some of us maybe we're freaking out when we shouldn't be but if someone's freaking out they're freaking the fuck out okay so the way to handle that is to manifest something called unconditional positive This is a psychological theory.
I can't remember the therapist's name, but they would take kids who were about to go to juvie or whatever from schools, and they would bring these kids to meet with him, because he's a therapist.
And these kids have been meeting with therapists their whole lives, because they're fuck-ups.
Their experience has always been one of being in offices where someone's trying to change them, turn them into something different, make them feel bad for the way they are, hammer some kind of ethical system into their brain, whatever.
So this guy started doing this thing where he let the kids come into his office and he'd just sit there with them.
There's like crayons, shit they can draw on.
They would do their crazy shit, their little act-outs and freak-outs.
But the whole time he was just trying to like be a person with them who wasn't judging them, who wasn't looking down on them and thinking of them as monsters.
And so the effect of this shit that he did, it's a whole...
I wish I could remember the name of it.
It's a whole goddamn type of therapy, but the end result is these kids, their grades started improving.
They started to become better people because they were in the presence of someone who was actively trying to, like, appreciate them as human beings.
All agree that the number one problem with this society is the way human beings are raised.
Human beings are raised by idiots, raised in a really uncomfortable way where they never truly develop character, never truly develop a philosophy or a point of view that aids them in life.
How many people go through life perfectly programmed?
How many people go through life with a really positive experience of growing up?
Very few.
That's the real issue, because then those people become adults, they raise their own children, and they try to correct as much as possible, but who knows how much of them has been fucked because of their childhood, and it continues on and on.
What I was saying, even when we were talking about the people that run the world, that we need a philosophy for how human beings interact with each other, a code that's never broken, an agreement between all others.
And that, to me, is the most important thing that the human race can establish.
There is a way you can be successful while having all those things, and that's what people don't understand.
There's a lot of people that think that, well, you've got to do what you've got to do to make it in this world.
When you see all these different bills that are being passed that are slowly eroding the rights of American citizens and slowly taking away your liberties and slowly making it easier for them to spy on you, that is not someone looking out for your best interest.
It just isn't.
They aren't looking out for the human race as a whole.
They just aren't.
That's not the right way to approach it.
That is the way a shithead approaches it.
And so it becomes very obvious that we need to overhaul the system that our country operates under, that the world operates under.
Because right now it's operating under a shithead dictator system.
And they don't need to be that way.
That's the real issue.
The real issue is they don't need to be that way.
They're that way because they're incompetent.
They're that way because they're unhappy.
And you can't run the world like a cunt and still be a happy person.
You're not going to have as much benefit even in your own life.
And our problem is we don't look at the world, we don't look at our life, we don't look at our existence as, you know, what is the most important thing?
Well, the abundance of happiness, love...
No, no, no.
We look at it as money.
We look at it as money is the number one most important thing.
And the more that you can accumulate, the more you're correct.
That's something that has to shift.
Money is just simply a part of a good equation.
And really, the money that you need to be happy is enough money so that you don't have to think about money.
It's an ironic thing.
You want enough money so that you can eat and have a roof over your head and be able to enjoy the comforts of home, a nice couch, and normal shit.
That is really the money that you need in this life, to have happiness.
Health.
And money to support health, money to support nutrition, money to support shelter.
And once you have that, that is everything!
That is where real happiness comes from.
And if you don't have that, but yet you have millions and millions of dollars, you're sick.
You've missed the point.
You've missed the most important part of the equation.
Now, a lot of people don't like the word God, so get rid of that fucking word.
But there's the idea that you can connect with a kind of infinite flow of energy.
This is the shit that Tesla talked about.
This is the shit that a lot of people have come in contact with this fucking thing.
And they have a lot of different words for this fucking thing.
But the idea is that once you begin to connect with that thing, or even flirt with the connection to that thing, and figure out ways to like really establish that, when you begin to feel what that feels like, that sense of connection, that sense of being in the flow, being in harmony, that thing, you can't buy that feeling.
There's no way money's ever gonna buy that feeling, and it's a feeling that makes any kind of It makes everything else just seem like icing on the cake.
And I think a lot of these people have just simply gotten disconnected.
They're like a garden hose with a kink in it.
They're not getting like an energetic flow.
Eating plastic and have this kind of existential nutritional deficiency that manifests in the form of an outbreak of cuntiness.
And it's like, it's mostly just because they haven't made that big fucking connection.
I really don't think that you can become a fully developed human being unless you have some series of events in your life, more than one, that break down your vision of the world I think
all of that...
All those are possibilities.
There's different ways to achieve the same effect.
But unless you do have those things, you're going to be a child.
You're going to die an old child.
You're really never going to understand that you've been tricked by your own ego.
You've been tricked by your own ego, first of all, into thinking that this is somehow or another permanent.
It is unquestionably a temporary experience.
You've got to enjoy the shit out of it.
You've got to have as much fun as you can while it's going on.
But you better be treating it like what it is, because it's fucking temporary.
And you're leaving behind a wake and a ripple of shit that is going to go from you on to your ancestors and your shitty kids that you've raised.
If all these fucking, you know, these guys that are in secret societies and skull and bones and shit, if they all just dropped the bullshit, stopped being pussies, and took mushrooms, the whole picture would change immediately.
You would have, look at, and folks, this is not, you know, I'm not making this up.
Look at John Hopkins University's studies on psilocybin use.
And what happened to people with one psilocybin experience over the course of a couple of years, their personalities changed for the better.
These pussies, they need to stop dressing up like fucking eyes wide shut and boning each other in the ass and videotaping it and holding each other hostage with the information.
Instead of doing it that way, they need to get together and do some fucking mushrooms.
But, man, it's such an important thing to make this connection, however you do it.
McKenna was really into mushrooms because it was an expeditious way to do it, and he was a believer in 2012 and the idea of some kind of eschatological event that was going to wipe us all out, so we've got to move quick.
His thing was, like, you're not going to get people to, like...
This transformation in society you're talking about, he...
Maybe fairly recognized that like, let's make this shit happen fast and the fastest way to do it would be to get everyone or as many people as possible to experience the psychedelic state and bring that into the world through our action.
Right, yeah, I guess when I say the end of the world, I mean like his idea was more of a positive end of the world scenario, but still apocalypse, lifting of the veil, transformation of the old ways into some complete moment of novelty.
And like he was into like, the reason, I'm just trying to get to the point that he liked to like, he placed mushrooms over meditation.
Where there's other people who say, You know, the problem with the psychedelic experience is that it gets you there, and it gets you there quick, but you've got to come back out of that.
And the idea is to, like, how can we...
Be in that state of consciousness.
Not like the walls are melting, but in that state of connectivity all the time.
And also, if you've got some weird social issues and psychological issues, you can start having grandiose ideas based on psychedelic experiences.
I've talked to people that had psychedelic experiences and believed that there's a whole team of beings out there that are looking out for them and that Succeed for what?
What's the end goal?
What are you talking about?
You really believe that?
It's like they've chosen to look at only a fraction of the information that's being displayed.
See, that's brilliant, dude, because that's the thing.
With meditation, sometimes I'll go into meditation With a point.
Like I'm trying to get something.
I'm trying to do something.
I'm trying to get like, my mind wants there to be a result.
Like, you know, some kind of like metaphysical tricep development or something through meditation because we've been taught To be completely a result-oriented, to live a result-oriented life.
And the paradox of meditation is the idea is like, no, no, no.
You don't get anything out of this.
It's entering into a mind state where you're no longer constantly in the pursuit of the future.
You're no longer always chasing whatever the thing is that you think is the moment in the future.
You are...
Coming into where you are at this very moment, wherever the fuck you happen to be, you know?
Fucking lotion all over your dick because you just jerked off to porn or fucking with beer cans all over your fucking house or wherever you are.
You get into that moment and become that thing.
And the paradox of being fully in that thing is that your situations and conditions will begin to transform.
Because that's where the real healing starts happening.
The real transformation doesn't start with a fucking beating yourself up.
It starts with a sense of like, all right, hold on.
Okay.
Entry into this dimension created a form of weird amnesia.
I apparently have developed the fucking personality of a supreme cunt.
I've got some weird fucking hangover that came from my incarnation in this dimension.
I'm gonna shake off this hangover and the way I'm gonna shake it off is by fully understanding where I'm at right now.
It's a paradox, man.
It's something that's like a really strange thing because to get to a place Where you aren't such a cunt and where you aren't trapped, you need to first understand what your prison cell is like.
Isn't it fascinating when you see these Wall Street guys, like I read about another one the other day, who's realized that his fund had lost hundreds of millions of dollars, and so he committed suicide?
That idea, though, the simulation theory is going around the world.
A lot of people are looking at it.
And one of the reasons, one of the real big ones that sort of catapulted it was when this guy, Dr. Gates, has found hidden error correction codes hidden in the equations of supersymmetry.
It's really, really hard to wrap your head around, but in his words...
They had found the presence of codes in the equations of physics, not that they were trying to compute something, and the way he describes it says it's a little bit like doing biology, where if you studied an animal, you'd eventually run into its DNA, and that's essentially what's happened to us.
These codes that we found, they're like the DNA that sits inside of the equations that we study.
I mean, the reason it's fucking cool is because it's a new version of a very old idea that's being told using the current state-of-the-art language that we have today.
But this idea of the universe being a computer simulation, the Maya, as they call it in India, which means illusion, this is a very old fucking idea.
Well, John Wheeler, John Archibald Wheeler, was an American theoretical physicist who was largely responsible, according to the biography on him, largely responsible for reviving interest in general relativity in the United States after World War II. And one of the things that Dr. Gates had said was that he thought that Wheeler was crazy.
believes that this experience you know studying this computer code and finding out there's code in supersymmetry he says if you study physics long enough you might become crazy and that like literally if you delve deep into the heart of matter yeah if you really get to the nitty-gritty of what life really is it's undeniable that it's some sort of a code it's It's undeniable that it is some sort of...
I wouldn't say it's a computer simulation, because the term simulation, like, I joke around about the fact that I believe that human beings are living in some video game in the future and that we really look like the aliens and that that's...
But what I really think might be going on is that the reality as it stands has many more elements to it than just things you can hit and knock on with your knuckles.
Things you could beat with a hammer or throw water on.
I think there's a lot more than the solid physical matter of the universe that we're not totally taking into consideration.
And I always bring up the idea of the imagination.
That we look at the imagination as, well, when I was a kid, you know, oh, he's got such a vivid imagination because I would lie about shit, you know, draw pictures and make up things.
But what the imagination really is, is this hail of ideas in your mind that, if followed through, manifest physical things in this reality.
So it's not simply just this airy-fairy, woo-woo thing that's like this non-important, intangible aspect of life.
No, it's the creator of everything.
It's the root behind the creation of every single physical thing, from nuclear power plants to guns to fucking cat clocks.
And another aspect is the exact vibration you put out there.
The love that you put out there, the friendship that you put out there, the happiness that you bring to people.
You know, look, we're experiencing it in a form with this whole podcast network thing because all of us together, you know, having podcasts, all of us together pushing this.
Happy, positive, you know, sort of vibe out there and then having all these happy, positive people come to the shows and experiencing a direct result of this, creating this way of thinking where people are coming up to us on a daily fucking basis.
Last night at the Laugh Factory, a bunch of dudes came up to me and said the same thing.
You're changing my life.
You changed my life, changed the way I look at things, changed the way I'm happier now, I was going through a bad breakup, I was fat, I lost weight, I got healthy.
It's all the same thought re-repeating itself over and over and over again.
And that thought is that you're putting out a positive thing and positive results are being accumulated because of this transmission.
You're using a technological amplifier to blast positive energy out into the world and it's exponentially increasing the positivity that just starts in this room with a couple of microphones.
Also a philosophy that is being is open source in the sense that the people you're blasting it out to at least my experience has been some of these people email you shit you've never heard before Books you've never heard before.
And then that gets added to it, applied to it, and woven into this fucking awesome thing, which is essentially just like an internet salon.
It's a kind of salon in the old idea of what it was, which is where a group of people would get together and talk about philosophy.
When you stop and think about it, if we do come up with smart computers, what if one of the things that we do is make your whole house a living network?
Like, they just re-released all the Star Wars on Blu-ray, and I guess they did all these things like making the Ewoks blink now, because they didn't used to blink, I guess.
I don't remember.
But now, that's even creepier, because now you know that's fake.
I think these movies, man, I don't keep meaning to go back to this hippie shit, but I guess I will for the rest of my life.
I swear, man, I think these movies all came because people were taking acid and mushrooms and, like, tripping out.
And really going for it.
I think that's what those movies came from, is a psychedelic, bringing something back from the psychedelic universe and then using art as the kind of clothes that you drape around this hyper-dimensional form.
I think that's the fucking job, man.
You go out into that place and you try to bring back the crazy shit that you catch there.
It's like hunting trips into alternate dimensions.
But instead of catching animals, you're catching thoughts.
And you're bringing them back.
And then you're trying to bring them to life by putting them in some form.
Pouring them into the mold of your music, your movie, your book, whatever the thing is.
This guy, Raghu Marcus, who I have on my podcast, who helps run the Love Server Member Foundation, which is Ram Dass' foundation, They have a podcast now called Mind Rolling.
And it's him and his friend.
And these guys, man, they're so fucking cool.
And I was on the podcast.
And we were talking about...
I'd work myself up into a real hippie lather over fucking people dying in war.
And the drones.
I was really mad and really spewing.
I was coming from anger.
And it's like, these are people we're killing.
And the way they dealt with that blast of negativity...
It was super cool, because it wasn't like, you shouldn't be negative.
It was like, but hold on.
Think about how angry you are right now.
Think about the mind state that you're in right now.
Think about where you're at right now.
You have now created a fucking division.
You are no longer in a state of unit of consciousness.
You've now parsed the universe and you have done the exact same thing that causes war to happen.
The exact same thing that causes conflict is the way that the mind tends to create the good guys, the bad guys.
I've just forced myself recently to start watching stand-ups, watching comedy again.
There's a lot of bad stand-up out there, man, but I rarely watch comedy these days.
On television, I don't watch sitcoms.
That's why I don't watch South Park.
I love South Park, but when I'm alone, I don't go to comedy.
I almost always go to like science.
I almost always go to Discovery Channel shit or you know weird things about volcanoes or oceans or you know any biology type shit and then retard stuff like you know like my comedy yeah my comedy isn't like Bigfoot or Swamp People that's my new show Swamp People have you seen that?
Isn't it funny that, like, there's a certain amount of shit you could wear, like, in your daily life that they'll allow you to wear, like, that's a costume outside of being dressed up for Halloween.
Well, he's got to take his hand in sort of that position to just suck up the gut and pull it up so his short, semi-hard penis can even get inside your woman.
Yeah, they're not in shape, they're not in tune with their body, and they don't understand that you are releasing tension and you're creating a different state of consciousness when you do yoga.
I've had real, legitimate, life-changing experiences after yoga where I've really sat down.
When I say life-changing, I mean in degrees, left, right, forward.
There's like certain times where I've had experiences in my life that were literally life-changing because I sat down and that extra inspiration that I got from that moment that extra positivity that extra clarity that I got moved me in a percentage of a point in one direction and it's almost always towards the good I've had that from yoga.
No question about it.
It's not just because I chose to have it.
It's also because those techniques of all that stretching and all those things release tension from the body.
And the way your body carries around tension directly affects the way your mind works.
It directly affects how you interact with people.
True yoga people, the real yoga people, are fascinating to be around, man.
They're really cool and calm.
There was this dude from South Africa I used to take yoga with.
He was so real, man.
He was the real deal, man.
There's a lot of those fake yoga guys that try to, like, fuck chicks and, you know, they try to, like, be fake spiritual and they sing, like, Indian songs, you know, that they memorize just to fucking impress people with their Hindu street cred.
The people who really practice that shit, man, they don't act like that at all.
None of it's there.
It's a whole different fucking animal to the point where it can be shocking because you kind of expect people to be a certain way.
This is a funny thing.
This is like one of the fun thought experiments you can do is right now, maybe you don't, but right now in a lot of people's minds they already have this idea of what an enlightened person should act like.
You already have that idea.
Here's what they might be like.
Your mind will try to create an idea of what enlightenment looks like.
And that idea is always wrong.
It's never like that at all.
This is that saying, if you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.
That's the idea, which is like anything in your mind that's kind of defining the way you think an advanced person should be, Creates a real big problem because you'll start pretending to be that way.
You know, you start putting on a costume or a show.
But yeah, most of those folks you run into are the real deal, man.
Peck your dick while you're trying to guillotine them.
I used to be so poor when I was living in Asheville that I would go to Fuddruckers and order a bun and just, like, eat the lettuce and the tomatoes and the onions from the fucking hamburger bar.
Asheville, North Carolina is one of the last great places on earth.
We walk to a Kava bar, okay?
There's bars everywhere and nice people and, eh, sure, there's a few drum circles and there's a few fucking hippies sitting on the ground on the sidewalk.
It's more in the line of, I don't know, but I've read that Ibogaine is not a pleasant high.
It's meant to be used in accordance with a shaman or someone who knows what they're doing to create some spiritual effect.
It's not meant so that you can fucking pass out in front of Mario Brothers in your trailer.
It's not the way people use it now.
They fucking smoke this shit with an Xbox playing in the background and a baby sleeping in the other room.
I don't think it's that kind of drug.
It's not one of the pleasant drugs.
There are psychedelics that if you take low doses, definitely can be social lubricants and can be fun for partying, but salvia doesn't feel like that at all.
You know, I read this thing where they said that you're supposed to not wear sunglasses and that you should allow a certain amount of sunlight to hit your eyes because there's essential nutrients that you get from sunlight, just like you get nutrients from sunlight and vitamin D, and also you get nutrients that help your vision.
Everyone now who buys a gun must fill out the ATF form 4473 which asks, are you an unlawful user of or addicted to marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
Well, that's an amazing question, first of all, because you can answer, no, I'm not, because I'm not an unlawful user, because I'm a medical marijuana user in the state of California where I had a doctor's prescription for it.
So, no, that's not a law, but it's not true federally.
And then it's to say, are you addicted to marijuana or any depressant stimulant?
What about coffee?
Like, they could, like, legally, they could bring you to jail if you drink coffee every day.
If you have a fucking farm and you're growing medical marijuana and the government comes in to take you, they can also bust you for having these guns illegally and for lying on these federal forms, which is just like perjury.
So, you know, the Second Amendment is a very important part of anybody who wants to hunt their own food, be able to protect themselves from criminals, be able to protect themselves from predators.
If you live in like a rural community, if you live...
If you live in Montana and you're living out in the woods, like in that show Mountain Men, these motherfuckers, they need guns to shoot off bears.
They have bears that they need to shoot at.
I mean, if you don't, the bear comes and eats you.
I mean...
To say that they can't have bears because they also have arthritis that medical marijuana cures...
You've got a prescription for Oxycontin as long as it's legal.
As long as it's legal, you don't have that problem.
Any person...
Bureau Assistant Director Arthur Herbert writes in the open letter to all gun sellers, any person who uses or is addicted to marijuana, regardless of whether his or her state has passed legislation authorizing marijuana use for medicinal purposes, is prohibited by federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition.
That shit makes me want to join the NRA. It really does.
The ATF, or the National Rifle Association, isn't commenting on it.
It says the National Rifle Association, which frequently butts heads with the ATF, has not put out a statement on the letter, and a spokesperson there did not return calls for comment.
A spokesman for Rocky Mountain gun owners was also silent.
Well, you know, that's really sad.
It's a really sad thing because that's just the pressure from pharmaceutical companies that are trying to make sure that medical marijuana doesn't spill off into some sort of a decriminalization event nationwide and, you know, to stop it in its place.
It started out in Montana.
And the reason why it's in Montana is because if you've ever been to Montana, a huge percentage of the people in Montana hunt.
When we were in Montana, everywhere we drove, people were, there was like signs that said, welcome hunters.
Like in bars and restaurants, it said welcome hunters.
There's a lot of fucking people hunting up there.
And there's also a lot of people up there that like to get high.
So they decided to kill the medical marijuana community there by making it so that if you are a legal registered medical marijuana patient, you can't own a firearm.
It said Jeff Dorscher, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Colorado, said the decision whether to prosecute someone would be made on a case-by-case basis.
That's basically saying they have you by the balls.
There don't appear to be any cases in Colorado where people have been prosecuted for illegally owning guns because they are medical marijuana patients.
Because there's so many medical marijuana patients who have guns in Colorado.
You've just made felons out of a million people, and that's not exaggeration.
The medical marijuana community in Colorado is fucking amazing.
It's that, but I think it's also them, it's a death row.
They're exposing their belly.
I think they're showing how fucking stupid their system really is.
That they're actually, they're creating a law that's going to make people angry and furious.
And the wrong people, gun owners.
Because gun owners and hunters are some of the most organized motherfuckers.
You know, it's really interesting how these fish and game departments are entirely funded by The conservation efforts are entirely funded by hunters.
Hunters and hunting And gun owners are the ones who organize like one of the best run departments in the entire country is the different states' fish and game departments.
They're incredibly efficient at managing game populations, at setting tag limits, at managing the number of livestock or wildlife rather, wildlife stock like men and females and they do all these surveys and tests.
They're incredibly efficient because it's all based on people who actually care about the environment, who actually go out And hunt these wild animals.
So you're going to get them against you.
And this is supposed to be the government.
This is supposed to be the people that are looking out for you.
There's no reason to pass this.
There's no fucking reason.
They're just making shit more complicated, making government deeper, creating more fucking problems, creating more cunty scenarios where you're going to lock someone in jail because they like to smoke weed and they like to hunt.
It makes me want to run away from these stupid fucking laws.
These are dumb.
The idea that you could put yourself in jeopardy, that you could possibly get locked in a cage and not be able to see your family for an extended period of time because you did something that you wanted to do that didn't hurt anybody.
It's fucking crazy.
And believe me, if you were stoned and you had a gun, you'd be careful as fuck.
Oh my god, you'd be so goddamn paranoid.
Sure.
I think you would.
You might be an idiot, though.
You might just be like, dude, just start shooting things.
Yeah, it's like when your kids find guns in your house.
If your kids are raised and taught what a gun is and what's important and why it's dangerous, they're going to be okay because they're used to being around them anyway.
Well, apparently the difference between the way wildlife is run in America and wildlife was run in the European world, and that was one of the things that made the United States so great when people came here from Europe, was that in Europe, all land and hunting is all owned by royalty and rich people.
And so there's no public hunting.
It's all on private land.
Whereas in America, the wildlife is all the peoples.
Even on private land, say if you own private land, you still can't shoot everything that's on that land.
You have to have a tag for the deer.
You have to kill only a certain amount of them according to how much population you have in the area.
And that was what made these Daniel Boone characters that came here from a European background so happy that they could live this sort of different life where they're running around just hunting whenever they wanted to and be able to provide for their family, which you couldn't do in Europe.
You literally couldn't go out and hunt food unless you went to a private location.
We have like Academy Awards for the best teachers.
So teachers become the celebrities, fucking make it so that it's the most competitive industry to get in.
So the people who become teachers are these fucking super genius, brilliant people who start really teaching kids about how incredible and beautiful the universe is.
You fucking start with the kids, get them educated, get them excited about life, get them to understand that we exist in a beautiful, juicy, vibrant world, and that your brain is an alchemical laboratory which can produce thoughts, which if you put those thoughts into action, can transform your entire planet in the same way that the invention of electricity or the varieties of technologies that have come from the mind have shifted our planet, uh...
Completely and perhaps perpetually.
You teach kids that.
Your mind is a fucking, is the laboratory from which every single innovation that has affected your species has come.
You share the same brain that Einstein had, Feynman had, Buddha had.
You have that Here's different operating systems that you can decide on.
You teach them about yoga.
You teach them about health.
You get them fucking high when they're ready.
Initiatory rituals.
You bring them into a visceral experience of the beauty of life.
Instead of putting them in little fucking boxes, making them sit at uncomfortable seats and listen to underpaid, angry people.
Not all of them.
Some teachers don't give a fuck and they're beautiful people.
But some of them are like not being treated with any kind of respect and the end result is they're phoning it in.
You know?
And so that makes kids, when they think about reading or books or math or any of it, they just have this like the same reaction you have when you've gotten a tequila hangover and someone offers you tequila.
Because you've been having this shit pumped into you in the absolute wrong way.
We can't educate kids the way we make foie gras by fucking Of course, we all could.
Okay, but devil's advocate, when you look at the possibility of computer simulations and you look at the idea that life is some sort of computer program, those people inspired you to not be like them.
Those people inspired you with energy and the motivation and will to move past their paradigm and to see the error of their ways.
And one of the best ways to see the error of someone's ways is to see someone who's just preaching bullshit living a miserable life.
You see it and it's like it's almost more powerful sometimes than a positive image and a positive message.
Some of the reason why I got motivated to do all the things that I did was because I was raised shitty.
You've done the same thing to me, as have all of my friends.
Yeah.
I also think that the people that are trying to stop me and the people that have said shitty things to me, those people just, they started a fire inside me.
I don't know if it would have been there if it was just a positive reaction.
Clearly, you're never going to get rid of this fucking negative element, but you can be with people who teach what you just said, which is a kind of Nietzschean idea that part of what we need is a thing to resist.
We need a thing to rise above.
We need a thing that we can get angry at that motivates us.
But that shit can be taught.
You can teach that to kids.
You can teach that to people.
You can show people that...
You can just bring people these philosophies that have been developed by super geniuses and let the kids pick.
Let them decide.
And you can do it coming from charismatics and coming from performers instead of coming from people who just want to get fucking home.
We have several different options for achieving a positive result, including being raised badly, including being raised by someone who doesn't care about you and forces you to be a much more loving and caring parent.
This is going to really probably piss off a lot of the audience because it's a Jesus story.
But I just read it.
Somebody sent me this book of, like, monks writing essays on the Gospels.
And there's this...
And when you hear this at first, it's like, come on, that's so fucking stupid.
But then when you think about it, it's kind of a cool idea.
But there's this story, like, Christ is walking through the temple with his fucking disciples, and there's a blind man that he heals.
And they ask him...
Why was that man blind?
Why was that man born blind?
Is it because of his sins?
Now you have to understand this is coming from a primitive desert philosophy.
Sins and all that shit.
But they're saying, is it because of his karma?
Or is it because his parents' bad karma?
They're asking like, what's the reason that this guy is fucked up?
And the response is really brilliant.
And the response was, the guy, and if you take it literally, it's stupid, but the response was, he was born blind so that that miracle could be worked through him, so that novelty could come into the universe in the moment that he regained his sight.
And I think that's a really beautiful fucking idea, which is that your situation, whatever your specific situation happens to be that is a negative, backed into a corner, dark fucking place, in one way, it's the most awful thing ever.
But in another way, there is nothing more fucking beautiful Like when you have a friend who's like a desperate, horrible, fucking alcoholic, whose life has gone to shit, who's broke all the time, and is almost dying, and you see him overcome that fucking addiction, and all of a sudden this guy, wherever he goes, to anyone who's an alcoholic, is like a living representation of the fact that you don't have to live like that.
That is fucking powerful.
So your negative state, whether you're obese, whether you're drunk, whether you're on heroin, whatever the fucking thing is that you happen to be in because of circumstance or whatever, that has the potential energy.
You can convert that into a living teaching.
So that everyone around you can see that you mastered yourself and rose above the darkness.
And the people who are in that dark place, they'll be inspired by that a million times more than reading the Bhagavad Gita a thousand times or seeing something written down.
Because you're the living example of the fact that life, human life, and the human individual's life can radically transform for the positive if you focus.
And if you are, there's some luck in there too.
So the point is...
These negative situations, they're given to us, I don't want to say given, but they're an opportunity to really show people shit can get better.
You know like when you see someone who's a cunt?
And they're yapping about whatever the fuck, you know what I mean?
But their life sucks and they're always in drama and they're in a bad relationship.
You know, it's like, what are you talking about?
But when you run into an authentically happy person who's utilized principles and transformed their lives, you fucking listen to that, man.
It doesn't just have to be like inspirational people.
Certainly you can like, really the idea is whatever the energy is coming into you, shift it, turn it, transform it, be the fucking prism that shifts whatever that energy is into like a beautiful rainbow instead of like a turd.
And even when it is positive, just let it enhance your rainbow.
Yeah.
Enhance your beautiful vision of the world and pump it up even further.
And, you know, that idea, it's something that, like, people can say, oh, you guys talk about that all the time.
I really think you have to.
I think it's something that's a mantra.
I think it's something that needs to be repeated.
It's an ethic that needs to be ingrained in our mentalities.
And that's why I say it all the time.
Because I'm also doing it for myself.
I want to pump my own version of it up in my own head.
I'm not immune to negative feelings and thoughts.
I'm just a very diligent watcher.
I'm a very diligent guard of my consciousness.
So when I repeat positive things, it's not that I'm trying to convince myself.
It's I'm reinforcing these positive traits in my own mind and in the mind of other people.
It may be a bit repetitive sometimes and get a bit redundant, but I think we need it.
I really do.
I think you need it yourself.
I think I need it.
I think society needs it.
I think it's missing.
It's missing from all of our entertainment.
It's missing from Anderson Cooper's CNN reports.
It's missing from the fucking news of all the shit of the day and the hurricane devastation.
There's missing a broadcast from...
From the collective consciousness, a broadcast from the culture of the world that we can slowly but surely, despite all the news and evidence to the contrary, slowly but surely all move towards a more positive state.
This thing you're talking about is what I think of as the river and the forest effect.
Have you ever been walking in a forest and suddenly you become aware of the sound of the river?
It's been there the whole time, but it's such a subtle sound that blends in with the wind and the sound, but all of a sudden you hear that light trickling of water running over rocks.
That's what you're talking about.
It's a kind of like metaphysical river that runs through everything and it's very subtle and it's very easy to forget that it's there.
And we gotta figure out how to get it to the ATF. We gotta figure out how to get it to these fucking crazy assholes.
The same people that brought you the Fast and the Furious trying to lock you up for having a rifle and a fucking medical marijuana license.
We gotta get this to the same people that run the federal bank that want to pretend there's some fucking crazy debt that we have to pay off.
Yes.
Where's that money?
What does it even mean?
What does your money represent?
Yes.
You fucking crazy assholes with your numbers and your fucking, the scroll underneath the, when you're watching the news and that stock market scroll goes under, you're like, what are you saying?
Yeah, but this is another thing we always say, but just talking about this reminds me of it, man.
It's so easy to forget this shit, and it's so easy to go out into the world and everything's goddamn rubbing you the wrong way.
Everything can seem so fucking terrible, but then when you realize, no, you don't have to be a victim.
You can either get rolled by the wave of phenomena or you can surf on the fucking top of it.
And when you remember that, then suddenly when you go out into the world, the asshole you run into at the fucking gym, the shitty waiter, whatever the cunt in traffic, these things become little packets of energy that you can use to enhance your existence and to grow.
Brian's over there with a glass of heroin mixed with AIDS. I flavor my heroin with AIDS. There's nothing like heroin flavored AIDS. Take off your glasses and show the world your eyes, Duncan Trestle.
One of them has a fucking runway for a plane and this rustic-looking log house that's built over this several-floor missile silo that's converted into this crazy storage compound.
